JPH08153243A - Receiving tray for wide coin charging port - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To make it possible to simultaneously charge plural coins and to smoothly and simply execute coin charging work by arranging an object like a receiving tray at a coin charging port in an automatic vending machine. CONSTITUTION: When plural coins are put on a receiving tray, the coins are moved to the vicinity of a coin leading port 1 formed on an automatic vending machine body by inclination formed on the bottom of the tray from the front side to the rear side and inclination on the bottom from the right and left higher sides to the lower center. When coins are jammed in the vicinity of an inlet, coins are arranged by manual operation so that each coin passes the inlet. Plural holes smaller than the diameter of a minimum coin are formed on the bottom of the tray. Since foreign substances such as dust are dropped through the holes, dust or the like does not enter the inside of the automatic vending machine, so that the cause of a failure is not generated. When a coin charging port is a longitudinal slit, a passage for changing the posture of a coin entered from a horizontal inlet by 90 deg. on the way of the passage is formed in the automatic vending machine.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coin slot that can be used in various vending machines.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional vending machines can only insert one coin at a time, which is very troublesome when inserting a plurality of coins. Also, there seems to be an automatic coin inserting device or an automatic vending machine capable of inserting a plurality of coins, but the device is not popular because it is expensive.

When a conventional machine does not have a saucer and one hand is occupied (in most cases, since one hand has a wallet etc., the coin insertion work must be done with one hand). ) I had to hold multiple coins in one hand and carefully insert them one by one. In some cases, it was dropped.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to eliminate these drawbacks, and allows a plurality of coins to be inserted into a tray at a time, and is realized at a very low cost. It is possible. When multiple coins are placed on the saucer, the coin moves toward the coin introduction part of the vending machine main body due to the front-to-back inclination attached to the bottom of the saucer and the inclination with the left and right sides raised and the center lowered, but there is a possibility that the coin will be blocked near the entrance. There is. In this case, the coins may be arranged by hand so that the coins pass through the entrance one by one.
It can be said that this operation is much easier than the work that was conventionally performed while feeding one by one.

When the present invention is used, the loading work is greatly reduced. If a plurality of holes smaller than the diameter of the smallest coin are provided on the bottom of the tray, even foreign matter such as dust will fall through the holes and will not enter the vending machine and cause a failure. In addition, the vending machine only has a simple saucer, so the cost is low. The present invention requires some humans to manually guide the coin to the introduction portion, but there is an advantage that it can be realized at a low price. Moreover, it can be said that the human operation does not burden the person who operates it at all.

[Example] Collect coins and place them on a tray to guide them to the coin introducing section. If you have trouble entering near the entrance, you can easily enter by aligning with your hands. Further, in the case of an automatic vending machine in which the coin slot has a vertically long slit, it is sufficient to provide a passage for changing the posture of the coin inserted from the horizontal entrance by 90 degrees on the way.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The coin insertion work, which has been required to be carefully inserted, becomes very easy. Moreover, since the structure is only a simple saucer, it can be easily attached to an existing vending machine as well as a new vending machine at low cost.
