In the distributor 7, a shaft 7a protruding from the center of the upper surface and the lower surface is rotatably supported on the upper case 1a and the lower case 1b of the coin purse main body 1, and a vine fitted on the lower shaft 7a. For example, it is urged by the winding spring 8 in the clockwise direction.

A lever 9 and a knob 9a for rotating the classifier 7 when sorting coins 3 are attached to the upper shaft 7a and the outer peripheral portion of the classifier 7, and the knob 9a near the knob 9a. On the lower surface, a stopper 11 that defines a rotation range of the distributor 7 is provided so as to protrude. Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the distributor 8, when the distributor 7 is stopped, a coin insertion slot 7 b is opened at a position opened to the outside of the coin purse main body 1, and a plurality of coins is placed at an inner position. A sorting port 7c is formed.

The coin insertion slot 7b is opened large so that a plurality of coins can be inserted at one time, and the coin selection slot 7c is opened as follows so that coins can be sorted according to the size of the coin 3. ing. That is, the upper surface of the fractionator 7, the same numbers 4a and ticks 4b and number 4 as those in the coin storage chamber 1 ₁ to 1 ₃ have been attached to the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface,
Similar numbers 4c and scales 4d are provided on the coin purse body 1 side. The dispenser 7 is rotated by the lever 9 or the knob 9a, and coins are stored at a position where, for example, "1" of the number 4c on the coin purse body 1 and "1" of the number 4c on the distributor 7 are matched. the outer peripheral portion of the distributor 7 which matches the chamber 1 _2, 50
A coin sorting port 7c through which a coin 3 of one yen and one yen passes is formed.

[0024] In position combined "2" with number 4b "2" of the similarly numbered 4c, coins passing the coin 3 of 100 yen 5 yen to the outer periphery of the distributor 7 which matches the coin storage chamber 1 ₁ At the position where the sorting port 7c is opened and “3” of the number 4c and “3” of the number 4b are combined, the coins ₃ of 500 yen and 10 yen are put on the outer periphery of the distributor 7 corresponding to the coin storage room 13. A coin sorting port 7c to be passed is opened.

[0025] Note that in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the carry accommodates a plurality of coins 3 for each coin storing chamber 1 ₁ to 1 _3,

Next, when taking out the coins 3 which houses, in the coin outlet 5 downwards, the coin storage chamber 1 ₁ to 1 ₃
Of the coins 3 partially protruding from the coin outlet 5 provided for each coin, a required amount of coins 3 is picked up with a finger and pulled out, whereby the gap of the coin outlet 5 is expanded by elasticity. Coin 3 can be easily removed,
At this time, if the desired amount of coins 3 does not protrude into the coin outlet 5, the coin purse body 1 is shaken up and down, and when the desired amount of coins 3 protrudes into the coin outlet 5, it may be withdrawn.

Also, 50 yen and 1 yen, which differ greatly in size,
100 yen 5 yen, and 500 yen and 10 yen pair, since it has to be accommodated in the respective coin storage chamber 1 ₁ to 1 _3, without requiring a cover (opening and closing member) in the coin slot 7b, Further, when the coin 3 is taken out, the amount of the coin 3 can be determined by touch, and there is less fear of being taken out by mistake.

It should be noted that although 100 yen and 5 yen are almost the same diameter,
Since the five circles have a hole at the center, they can be easily identified.

[0031]

According to the present invention, as described in detail above, coins of different types are inserted into the coin insertion slot of the distributor, and the coin selection body of the distributor is aligned with the coin storage chamber to change the coin purse body. Just by shaking, coins are sorted and stored in a coin storage room for predetermined coins, so that troublesome sorting of coins by type and storage in the storage room as in a conventional coin purse is not required. In addition, the coins stored in the coin storage rooms are partially protruded from the coin outlet by pointing the coin outlet downward, so that a desired amount of coins is picked out with a finger and pulled out. Coins can be easily taken out. Therefore, there is no need to provide a lid or a lid opening / closing tool at the coin slot and the coin outlet, and the structure is simple.

Further, since coins having different sizes and coins without holes are accommodated in pairs in each coin storage room, there is no need to provide a coin storage room for each type of coin. Because the coin purse body can be made smaller, it is convenient to carry, and when taking out coins, the type of coin can be determined based on the size and the presence or absence of holes, so even those who are blind can securely find the desired coin. Be able to take out.

Furthermore, since the upper and lower cases near the coin outlet are provided with inclined surfaces that gradually become narrower to the coin outlet, coins can be taken out one by one from the coin outlet, and each coin can be taken out without fail. If a coin holder made of foam is put in the storage room in advance, there is no fear that the coins will rattle in the coin storage room when carried.
