Abstract

PURPOSE: To extremely easily execute coin throw-in operation and to attain coin throw-in suitable for selecting capacity by forming a structure of allowing a succeeding coin to be put in a guide groove after passing a preceding coin through the guide groove to automatically executing time adjustment. CONSTITUTION: When plural coins A prepared for use are collectively put on either one of setting seats 1a, 1b arranged on both the sides of a guide erected board 4, and by touching the last coin by finger tip so that the whole coins are slightly pushed to the board 4, the whole coins are erected and the 1st coin is abutted upon the board 4. When the force of the finger tip is released, the frontmost coin is released form friction between the board 4 and its adjacent coin and dropped from a coin drop port 3 into the guide groove 9 of a guide body 6 by gravity. Since the body 6 is energized upward by a spring 7, the dropping shock of the coin A is eased, and after hesitative operation, the coin A rolls in the direction to a coin slot through a coin exit 8 formed on a fixed board 2 at a speed determined by the dimension of the horizontal inclination angle of the body 6. Since the succeeding coin is not dropped from the setting seat during the operation of the frontmost coin, the coin charging time from the setting seat can be automatically adjusted.
