Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] 1. A cylindrical body capable of storing coins by stacking them in the thickness direction, which is fixed to a machine frame while maintaining an almost vertical angular position, and has a certain distance between it and the lower opening edge. An inner cylinder has a locking piece formed at its lower end to maintain the spacing, and is slidably fitted on the outside of this inner cylinder, is biased upwardly or downwardly, and has an approximately horizontal positioning shaft at its lower end. A projecting outer cylinder is provided near the outer surface of the outer cylinder, the upper end is supported by the outer cylinder, and is guided so as to be swingable in the front and back direction perpendicular to the positioning axis, and is positioned in front of the operator side. An operating arm that is energized and has an operating claw formed at its lower end whose swing locus interferes with the coins in the inner cylinder and is close to the lower opening edge of the outer cylinder, and each arm has an operating claw that is adapted to the number of coins to be taken out from the inner cylinder. An inclined cam is provided correspondingly, the upper end is supported by the machine frame, the upper end is supported by the machine frame, the cam is guided so as to be swingable in the longitudinal direction, each is biased forward, and the lower end faces the positioning shaft from the biasing direction of the outer cylinder. and a plurality of drive levers each having an arcuate part centered on the swing axis, and a plurality of drive levers each having an engagement part with the actuating arm at the rear thereof, and pushing a selected drive lever rearward. At this time, the outer cylinder is pushed in the opposite direction to the urging direction by the wedge action between the inclined cam and the positioning shaft, and then, when the positioning shaft rides on the arc part, the locking piece of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder A coin counting mechanism characterized in that the interval between the opening edge and the lower end of the coin is set to be slightly larger than the thickness of a selected number of coins. 2. The coin counting mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the outer cylinder is urged upward so that the inclined cam and the arc portion of the drive lever face the positioning shaft from above. 3. The coin counting mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the outer cylinder is urged downward so that the inclined cam and the circular arc portion of the drive lever face the positioning shaft from below.
