DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coin slot for coins, and more particularly, to a card type coin slot.

[0002]

Conventionally, bag-like coin purses made of leather or the like have been often used. Such a coin compartment is provided with a zipper or the like which can be freely opened and closed for coins to be inserted and ejected. When storing coins, the fastener is opened to store coins, and the coins are collectively stored in a bag. At the time of coin removal, the zipper is opened and the target coin is selected and taken out of the bag. However,
Since the coins are mixed and stored in the bag, there is a problem that it is difficult to take out necessary coins, and a problem that coins overlap and the coin compartment expands and becomes bulky.

As a solution to this problem, there has been proposed a card-type coin compartment which arranges and stores coins 20 as shown in FIGS. 15, 16 and 17, for example. 15 and 16, the coins 20 are stored in a horizontal line so that the coins 20 do not overlap. In the coin holder of FIG. 17, the coins 20 are stored while being obliquely stacked in a horizontal line. . Each coin slot is configured to take out the coin 20 from the coin inlet 6 into which the coin 20 is inserted.

However, since the coin compartments shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 are arranged in a horizontal line so that the coins 20 do not overlap, the coin compartments can be made thin, but the number of stored coins is reduced accordingly. Would. FIG.
In the case of coins, the coins 20 are stored obliquely in a horizontal row, so that the number of stored coins increases, but the coin case becomes thicker accordingly.

[0005] Further, the stored coins 20 are inserted into the coin inlet 6.
From the coin inlet 6 and the coin 20
Usually, a lid or the like is attached to the coin entrance portion so that the coin does not fall down. However, when the lid is opened to take out the coins 20 and the coin tray is tilted, a large amount of coins 20 comes out at once, and it is difficult to take out the coins 20 one by one.

The inventor of the present invention has conducted intensive studies to solve such problems, and as a result, has arrived at the present invention. By the way, the present inventor conducted a prior art search prior to the filing of the present application.
3-152417, and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 60-193120. However, all of them have the same problems as described above.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The gist of the present invention is to provide a card-type coin compartment which has at least one or more hollow portions through which two or more coins of the same kind can pass.
A card-shaped case member having a case window for pushing coins in the hollow portion by applying force from the outside, and coins stored in the hollow portion falling out of the coin entrance of the hollow portion. It is provided with a falling-off preventing means for preventing the coins from falling out, and a separating means for separating the stacked coins and passing the coins one by one to a coin outlet of the hollow portion.

[0008] By using a card type coin compartment having such a hollow portion, two or more coins can be stored in the hollow portion in a stacked manner. Thereby, the number of stored coins can be increased while keeping the thickness small. In addition, since the separation means is provided, coins can be taken out one by one only when necessary from the coin take-out port. Further, since the device is provided with drop-out prevention means, it is possible to prevent coins from falling from the coin entrance.

The gist of the card-type coin slot of the present invention is that, as shown in FIG. 5, the separating means is provided with a required space between the inner surface of the hollow part 12 and the case front side and the case back side. And the removal stopper 24 is constituted by a projection provided in the removal stopper 24. By providing such a removal stopper 24 (separating means), the gap S can be generated by sliding the stacked coins 20. Then, the coins 20 can be pushed out one by one from the opened gap S by pushing the coins 20 with fingers, as shown in FIG.

The gist of the card-type coin compartment of the present invention is that the fall-off prevention means is a fall-off stopper provided on the inner surface of the hollow portion and for passing coins only toward the inside of the case. It is in. By providing such a drop-off stopper (drop-off preventing means), coins pass only toward the inside of the case in the vicinity of the coin inlet, and coins do not pass from inside the case to outside the case. This makes it possible to prevent coins from falling out of the coin entrance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of a card-type coin purse according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 show a card type coin box 10 according to the present invention, in which one or more penetrating hollow portions 12 through which two or more coins of the same kind can pass are stacked.
A card-shaped case member 26 having a case window 14 for applying a force from the outside to push the coins 20 in the hollow portion 12 and the coins 20 stored in the hollow portion 12, Separated coins 20 are separated and passed one by one to a drop-off prevention means (drop-off stopper) 22 for preventing the coins from dropping out of the coin inlet 16 of the hollow portion 12 and a coin outlet 18 of the hollow portion 12. And a separating means (extraction stopper) 24.

The case member 26 of the coin compartment 10 has a card-like shape and is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the case member 26.
There are two through hollows 12 provided. As shown in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional shape of the hollow portion 12 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape slightly larger than the cross section of the two coins 20 stacked. Further, on the front and rear surfaces of the case, a case window 14 penetrating through the hollow portion 12 is provided around the center axis of the hollow portion 12 in the longitudinal direction. The shape of the case window 14 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. Note that one hollow portion 12 can store five coins side by side,
One hollow portion 12 can store a total of 10 coins (2 coins × 5 rows). Therefore, coin compartment 10 has 2
Since there are two hollow portions 12, a total of 20 coins 20 can be stored.

In the vicinity of the coin inlet 16 in the hollow portion 12, a drop-off stopper 22 (drop-off preventing means) for passing the coin 20 only toward the inside of the case is provided. In the present embodiment, as the drop-off stopper 22,
A triangular (right-angled triangular) projection is provided on one case plane side of the inner surface of the hollow portion 12. As shown in FIG. 4, the inner surface of the hollow portion 12 on the inlet 16 side and the surface of the drop-off stopper 22 adjacent thereto are smoothly continuous, but the inner surface of the hollow portion 12 on the outlet 18 side and adjacent to this surface. The surface of the falling stopper 22 is formed substantially at right angles. The height of the drop-off stopper 22 is formed slightly higher than the thickness of the coin 20. Further, the side of the case near the coin inlet 16 of the hollow portion 12 is formed in a C shape so that coins 20 can be easily inserted.

A take-out stopper 24 (separating means) for separating and taking out two coins 20 one by one is provided near the coin take-out port 18 in the hollow portion 12. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, hemispherical projections are provided at predetermined intervals S on both sides of the inner surface of the hollow portion 12 as a removal stopper (separating means). I have. This interval S is equal to the coin 20
Is set slightly wider than the radius of the coin 20, and the height of the take-out stopper 24 is formed slightly lower than the height of the coin 20.

Here, as the material of the case member 26, any material such as a resin such as plastic can be used. Also, the material of the drop-off stopper 22 and the take-out stopper 24 is made of a resin such as plastic.
Any material can be used. Further, the case member 26, the drop-off stopper 22, and the removal stopper 24 can be provided by an arbitrary method such as being integrally formed or attached with an adhesive or the like.

Next, a description will be given of the operation of a case where coins are put in and taken out using the card type coin slot 10.

First, a coin 20 is inserted into the hollow portion 12 from the coin inlet 16. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the vicinity of the inlet 16 is open in a C shape, as shown in FIG. 4. As described above, since the inner surface of the hollow portion 12 and the inlet-side surface of the drop-off stopper 22 are smoothly continuous, the coin 2
0 can be entered. However, since the inner surface of the hollow portion 12 and the case inner surface of the drop-off stopper 22 are formed substantially perpendicularly, once the coin 20 is put into the hollow portion 12, the coin 20 drops out of the entrance 16. Never.

The coins 20 are taken out when necessary. As shown in FIG. 4, a take-out stopper 24 is provided at a required interval S on the coin take-out port 18 side. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5, the coin 20 can be slid to form a gap having a dimension S between the coins 20. Then, the finger 2 is inserted from the case window 14 into this gap.
By pushing the coins 20 against the coins 8, the coins 20 can be taken out one by one as shown in FIG. In addition,
As shown in FIG. 7, the coins 20 can also be taken out one by one by pressing the coins 20 from the case window 14 on the opposite side of FIGS.

As described above, the card type coin slot 1 of the present invention
When 0 is used, the coins 20 can be arbitrarily taken out one by one only when necessary by the function of the take-out stopper 24. In addition, in the state of FIG. 5, unless the coins 20 are pressed by applying a force with the finger 28, the coins 20 are not hindered by the removal stopper 24 and do not go out. for that reason,
The function of the drop-off stopper 22 and the take-out stopper 24 prevents the coins 20 in the coin compartment 10 from falling off unexpectedly. Further, in the case of the present embodiment, two coins can be stacked and stored, so that the number of stored coins can be doubled as compared with the related art while keeping the thickness of the coin compartment thin.

While the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the card type coin purse according to the present invention can be implemented in other modes. For example, the number of hollow portions is not limited to two, and an arbitrary number of hollow portions can be provided. Further, the number of coins arranged in the hollow portion is not limited to five, and an arbitrary number of coins can be arranged and stored with the length of the hollow portion in the long axis direction being a required length. Further, the number of coins stacked in the hollow portion is not limited to two, and an arbitrary number of coins can be stacked and stored with the height of the hollow portion being a required height.

The coins to be stored in the card-type coin compartment of the present invention can store any coins, and further, the lengths of the hollow portions in the short axis direction are different from each other.
Different types of coins can be stored in each hollow part. Therefore, for example, for a 10-yen coin, for a 50-yen coin,
By providing four hollow portions for 0 yen coins and 500 yen coins, 10 yen coins, 50 yen coins, 100 yen coins, and 500 yen coins can be separately stored in each hollow portion. In addition, the shape of the case window can be any shape, and the case window can be provided only on one side surface of the case.

The falling stopper is not limited to a triangular shape, but may be a V-shaped projection (elastic body) 34 as shown in FIG. 8 or a 1/4 spherical projection 36 as shown in FIG. ,
Alternatively, an arbitrary member such as a hemispherical protrusion similar to the removal stopper 24 shown in FIG. 4 may be used. That is, any material can be used as long as the coin in the hollow portion can be prevented from falling off from the coin inlet. Also, the position where the drop-off stopper is provided is shown in FIG.
It can be provided at a required position, such as provided on the side surface as shown in FIG.

The take-out stopper is not limited to a hemispherical shape, but includes a V-shaped projection (elastic body) 34 as shown in FIG. 8 and a 1/4 spherical projection 36 as shown in FIG. Any one can be used. That is, any coin can be used as long as coins are passed one by one from the inside of the hollow portion to the outlet. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the position where the removal stopper is provided can be provided at a required position, and further, the interval S between the removal stoppers can be set to the required distance.

However, the distance S between the take-out stoppers is
As shown in FIG. 2B, when the radius of the coin 20 is significantly narrower than the radius of the coin 20, it is difficult for the coin 20 to drop from the take-out port 18, but it becomes difficult to remove the coin 20. Conversely, if the interval S is significantly larger than the radius of the coins 20 as shown in FIG. 12C, the coins 20 can be easily taken out. I will. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12A, it is preferable that the interval S between the ejection stoppers 24 is slightly larger or slightly smaller than the radius of the coin 20.

Although the embodiments of the card type coin purse according to the present invention have been described in various ways with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated card type coin purse. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the case member 26 can be covered with a cover 42 such as leather or cloth. In such a coin compartment 40, a lid 44 for closing the coin entrance 16 is provided instead of having a drop-off stopper (drop-off preventing means). Since the lid 44 is provided, when storing the coins 20, the lid 44 is opened and the coins 20 are stored therein.

The coin outlet 18 is covered with a cover 42, and a cut 46 is made in the front of the outlet.
The cover 42 in which the cuts 46 are formed normally serves to close the outlet 18, but the coins 2 are applied with force.
Pressing 0 will cause the coin 20 to exit through the cut 46. Thereby, the coin 2 from the outlet 18 is
0 can be prevented from falling. Note that FIG.
In the above, the cover 44 and the cover 42 with the cutout 46 of the outlet 18 are provided at the same time, but both may be separately provided, such as by providing only the cover or only the cutout cover.

As shown in FIG. 14, an outlet cover 38 may be provided at the tip of the outlet 18. The outlet cover 38 has a gap that is slightly narrower than the thickness of the coin 20 at the distal end of the outlet 18.
Like the 6-piece cover 42, it is possible to prevent the coins 20 from dropping carelessly. In addition, the present invention can be implemented in various modified, modified, and modified embodiments based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0029]

According to the card-type coin holder of the present invention, two or more coins can be stored in the hollow portion in a stacked manner. Thus, the number of stored coins can be increased while keeping the thickness of the coin compartment thin. Since the drop-out preventing means is provided near the coin entrance in the hollow portion, it is possible to prevent the coin from falling out of the coin entrance. Further, since the dividing means is provided near the coin outlet in the hollow portion, coins can be taken out one by one.
