Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a medal lending machine, more specifically, a large number of slot machines arranged on an island, a mahjong style pachinko machine, and a combination type pachinko machine. Machine, additive pachinko! This relates to a medal lending device that is used by being placed between adjacent machines such as &.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, gaming machines that use medals have required a medal lending device for lending out the medals.

Conventionally, such medal lending machines have been available in which when a 100 yen coin is inserted, a predetermined number of medals are lent out by operating a renoid or the like. - In recent years, machines have also been provided in which a predetermined number of medals can be lent out in a short time using a hopper by inserting bills.

Among such conventional medal dispensing machines, the structure of the medal dispensing machine using a hopper is that by inserting coins or bills, the hopper is operated for a predetermined time, and as a result, medals are dispensed at the medal takeout 11. It was something to put out.

Also, conventional devices are large in size.

-・It was not set up within the general island, but was set up independently from Nishi.

Furthermore, since such large medal lending machines lend out a large number of medals, they are usually equipped with an automatic medal replenishment device.

[9, Problems that Ming is trying to solve] However, in conventional medal lending machines like this, the hopper is activated after coins or bills are inserted, so there is no need to wait until the medals are borrowed. It was expected to take some time to complete. On the other hand, if an attempt was made to shorten this time, a large hopper would be required, leading to further enlargement of the apparatus.

Furthermore, since the entire device was large and had to be installed independently from the island, players had to leave their seats and go to the trouble of borrowing medals.

Therefore, the present invention aims to shorten the time required for lending out medals to players by providing a medal lending device that uses a small hopper but reduces the time required for lending out medals.

[Means for solving problems] One aspect of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems.

In a medal lending device that measures a predetermined number of medals in a hopper and lends them out, a storage section for the next medal to be lent is provided at the bottom of the hopper for measuring a predetermined number of medals, and the storage section for medals and the medals are The present invention is characterized in that an opening/closing section is provided between the storage section and the extraction section for sending out the medals stored in the storage section to the extraction section.

[Operation] In the unreleased IJJ, the number of medals that should be lent out by inserting - times of coins or bills is stored in advance in the storage section, and when the insertion of coins or bills is detected, the medals in the storage section are lent out and the medals are stored. After the lending of medals to the club ends.

A predetermined number of medals are stored in the storage section for the next loan.

Therefore, the moment a coin or bill is used, the medal is lent from the storage section to the medal retrieval port.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example in which a predetermined number of medals 20 are lent when bills 10 are inserted will be described with reference to illustrated examples.

FIG. 1 is an overall schematic diagram, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view.

In each figure, the medal 20 lending device according to this embodiment uses bills 10 as the input medium, and is used between island slot machines, mahjong-style pachinko machines, combination-type pachinko machines, addition-type pachinko a, etc. It is relatively i-shaped.

Further, a take-out port 30 for the medals 20 is protruded from the center of the front surface slightly toward the F side, and a medal device 40 is placed in the upper part of the take-out port 30, and a formal dress 7150 is placed in the lower part of the take-out port 30.

The medal holder 2140 includes, in order from the top, a tank part 41 in which medals 20 to be lent are stored in advance, a hopper part 42 in which a predetermined number of medals 20 are stored in a storage part 43 in advance, and a hopper part. a storage section 43 in which the medals 20 from the storage section 42 are stored in advance; an opening/closing section 44 of the storage section 43 formed by a solenoid or the like in order to lend out the medals 20 from the storage section 43 to the outlet 30;
When the opening/closing part 44 is opened, a passage part 45 for guiding the medal 20 to the ejection port 130 and an ejection port 30 for the medal 20 are formed.
It is formed from. Also, a tank? A loading lid 46 for putting the medals 20 into the tank aB 41 is provided on the top of the tank aB 41 so as to be openable and closable.

The formal dress 2150 has a tag 10 official [151] provided on the front and a tag 10 transfer section 5 provided inside this slot 51.
2, an identification section 53 for identifying whether the inserted bills 10 are genuine or false, and a stock section 54 for correct bills 10 located at the lower part of the slot 51. In addition, at the front part of the stock part 54.

A take-out lid 55 for taking out the bills 10 stored in the stock part 54 is provided so as to be openable and closable.

Next, the operation and operation of the medal lending machine according to this embodiment will be explained.

First, the input: tL 46 is opened and a large number of medals 20 are input into the tank section 41.

After that, I pressed the start switch (not shown) and it was unable to operate.
state.

Then, the hopper part 42 is activated, and the number of medals 20 corresponding to the bills 10 to be thrown in is stored in the storage section 43 in advance, and the medals 20 are put on standby for lending.

Once the bill is ready for use, the player inserts the bill 10 into the slot 51.

Then, the inserted bill 10 is drawn into the lending device by the transfer fi 52, and the authenticity of the bill 10 is identified by the screening section 53.

As a result of the identification by the discriminator, when the inserted bill 10 is identified as a counterfeit bill 10, is folded and cannot be identified, or is inserted face down and cannot be identified, the inserted bill 10 is transferred to the transfer unit 52. By the reverse operation of , it is returned to the input port 51 .

When the correct bill 10 is identified as a result of identification by the discriminator, the bill 10 is stored in the stock section 54, and the opening/closing section 44 performs an opening operation to store I! If the medal 20 stored in '1143 is 1 passage
&45 to the outlet 3o. At the same time, it becomes impossible to insert the primary bill 10. J!
Physically, even if an attempt is made to insert a bill 10 into the input 151, the transfer section 52 is in a non-operating state, so a new bill 10 cannot be inserted.

When the opening/closing part 44 is opened in this way and the medals 20 are being sent out to the outlet 30, the hopper F! &42 will not be operated.

Retrieval of all medals 2° stored in this storage section 43 [
The sending out to 130 may be completed by determining that the medals 20 have been sent out by opening the opening/closing part 44 for a predetermined time, or a sensor may be provided to judge whether there are remaining medals 20 in the storage part 43. You may do so.

All the medals 2 stored in the storage section 43 in this way
0 to the outlet 30 is completed, the opening/closing part 4
4 will perform the closing operation.

After the closing operation of the opening/closing section 44 is completed, the hopper part 42 is operated and the operation of storing a predetermined number of medals 20 in the storage section 43 for the next lending is started.

Note that until this storage work is completed, the transfer section 52 does not operate and the first bill 1O cannot be inserted.

In this way, until the bills 10 are inserted into the slot 51, a predetermined number of medals 20 are lent to the take-out port 30, and the next medals 20 to be lent are stored in the storage section 43, the primary It becomes impossible to insert bill 10.

In other words, after the lending of a predetermined number of medals 20, which starts with the insertion of bills 10, ends, the lending of medals 20 begins only after the medals 20 for the next lending have been stored in the storage section 43 by the hopper. It will be in a standby state.

In the above explanation, it is assumed that the medal lending device is activated by inserting a token: 5LIJI.

It can also be configured to operate by inserting a coin without using the tag 10.

In addition, when there is a shortage of medals 20 in the tank section 41 during actual use, the input 446 is opened and a new medal 20 is dispensed from above the medal dispenser. 54, it can be taken out from the curved surface of the medal lending machine by opening the take-out lid 55.

That is, in this embodiment, the official with medal 20 also has card 1.
Recovery of 0 can also be carried out very easily.
