The coin processing unit supporting shaft bar 53 penetrates through the upper bearing portion 57 and is stopped by a stopper.
The coin processing unit support body 58 such as a spring is interposed on the coin processing unit supporting shaft 53 at the top of the coin processing unit 60, and the coin processing unit 60 is constantly urged in the direction of returning to the original position. The coin processing unit 60 is pivotally supported at its upper part by the shaft bar 53, and is in a swinging state.
As a result, the coin A is rolled vertically by the guide portion 66 on the rear surface of the coin processing unit 60, the coin guiding rail 51, the standing wall 50b of the coin guiding plate 50, and the rear surface of the coin processing unit. An inclined coin passage 47 is formed. The coin passage 47 has a structure for guiding the coin within the thickness of the coin, not the width of the coin. The thickness of the guiding area is reduced, and the coin processing unit is installed so as not to protrude too much by using a wide space at the rear of the front plate 3. This makes it easier to attach the rear mechanism plate to the machine frame.

In FIG. 9, the inserted coin control device 4
As coin releasing means for opening and closing the coin processing unit 60 when the coin A is clogged with the coin passage 47 of the coin processing unit 6, the coin processing unit operating unit 17 is fixed in the insertion hole 59 at the lower front part of the first coin storage tray. It is provided so that it can slide forward and backward freely by the stroke, and its operating portion 17
The operating rod 17a at the rear end is provided so as to be able to directly push the back of the coin processing unit 60 through the space below the coin guide plate 50. The unit 60 is rotated about the upper shaft 53 as a fulcrum, separated from the coin guide plate 50, the coin passage 47 is opened, and the clogged coin A is dropped on the coin return chute 48 below. And the coin jam can be eliminated.

In FIG. 10, a coin withdrawal opening 18 is opened at the lowermost surface on one side of the concave portion of the first coin storage tray 4, and a coin withdrawal opening and closing plate 100 with a coin withdrawal handle 19 is opened and closed with the coin withdrawal opening 18. Freely provided, and the coin-pulling open / close plate 100 is supported by a support shaft 102 at one end,
When the coin removing handle 19 is rotated about the axis along the guide groove 101 that regulates the rotation range, the coin removing opening / closing plate 100 is moved and the coin removing opening 1 is moved.
8 can be opened or closed.

The coin opening / closing plate 100 is rotated in a direction other than the opening direction or the closing direction by an elastic body or contact friction means in accordance with the operation amount of the coin removing handle. The opening / closing plate 100 is biased and supported in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the opening / closing plate 100 moves, and is configured to hold the displacement position of the coin removing / opening plate at any time after the operation of the coin removing handle. In this way, when performing coin removal, a desired predetermined amount of coin removal processing can be performed while appropriately adjusting the amount of coins. In this embodiment, the coin-pulling opening / closing plate can be stopped at an arbitrary position, but is not limited to this. Like the pachinko ball-pulling device opening / closing plate, the opening / closing plate resists a spring or the like when opened. Can be set so as to be held in the open position.

The coin A of the above-described pachinko gaming machine of the present invention
The case of playing a game by inserting the game will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. In the initial state, the player inserts the coin A into the coin insertion slot 12a of the pachinko gaming machine, and the inserted coin remains in a state in which the coin passage 47 is divided with the passage connecting body 77a retracted. Therefore, the coin guiding plate 50 and the coin processing unit 60 are
Into the coin passage 47 between the coins, falls from the coin return opening 52a opened in the cutout portion 52 of the passage connecting body 77a (coin B), and passes through the coin discharge passage (coin return chute 4).
8) Returned to the lower second coin storage tray 5 provided on the front of the pachinko gaming machine. When the player operates the coin insertion set switch 14, the passage switching solenoid 71 is driven to operate the passage switching operation body 7 for cooperative operation.
5. With the passage connecting body 77a closing the coin return opening of the notch 52, the coin passage 47 is converted into a communication state to the coin accommodating passage 68. Therefore, the coin A inserted into the coin insertion slot 12a is
After passing through the coin accommodating passage 68 (second coin holding section) and the coin accommodating slot (coin C) through the coin 7, the coin detection switch 90 detects the insertion of the coin, and thereafter, is accommodated in the pachinko gaming machine. The coin detection switch outputs a detection signal at the same time as the pachinko gaming machine is accommodated in the pachinko gaming machine, and a predetermined number of pachinko balls are set on the hitting path of the pachinko gaming machine so as to be hittable. When the set number of pachinko balls is played as a cycle unit and a predetermined number of pachinko balls form a winning combination arrangement, the player is provided with a predetermined number of coins according to the type of the winning arrangement. Is paid out toward the coin storage tray by the coin payout device.
Further, when the detection means detects that a predetermined number or more of coins have been inserted into the pachinko gaming machine, the passage communication body is returned by the coin passage switching drive solenoid,
The coin inserted after the overflow is returned to the player through the coin return slot.

Although the above embodiment has been described, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various embodiments can be implemented without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0034]

According to the present invention, a coin insertion portion is provided at or near the storage structure of the horizontal first coin storage tray at a low position near the player's hand at the gaming machine stand. Therefore, the player can easily and continuously insert a predetermined number of coins into the insertion slot, which is convenient.

Since the coin removing means is provided in the first coin storing dish, when the coin storing dish is full or when coins are to be removed at the end of the game, the coins can be easily and accurately removed by the coin removing means. Can be pulled out into a storage dish.

Display means for coins is provided at or near the storage portion structure of the first coin storage dish, so that a player can play a game while viewing information on coins, which is convenient.
