Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Field of the Invention> This invention relates to a packaged coin opening device for opening packaged coins wrapped in a cylindrical shape with paper, nylon, or the like.

<Prior Art and its Problems> As is well known, in recent years cash registers have become widespread, and in stores such as supermarkets, many cash registers are lined up to allow customers to pay their bills. Since the rate of use of coins for change at such toll settlement offices is high, it is necessary to frequently open packaged coins and replenish coins. However, since the wrapping paper of these wrapped coins is tightly wrapped, it takes a lot of effort to open them, and when the wrapping paper cannot be easily torn, the wrapping paper may be opened by hitting the wrapped coin against the corner of a table or the like. , coins would fall to the floor, causing trouble for the staff. In this way, the work of opening packaged coins is both tedious and time consuming, causing customers to become anxious.

<Purpose of the invention> This invention simplifies the process of opening packaged coins, prevents the coins from falling out when the package is opened, and also creates a banknote that can be used to hold banknotes when counting change. An object of the present invention is to provide a packaged coin opening device having a function as a pincher.

<Structure and effects of the invention> This invention consists of a box with an open top and a lid that opens and closes around a fulcrum provided at the rear of the box and closes the top of the box. It is characterized in that a U-shaped groove is provided on the upper surface, and a protrusion is provided at a position on the lower surface of the lid that is approximately equal to the center position between the two grooves.

According to this invention, by placing the packaged coins on both U-shaped grooves provided in the box body, closing the lid, and pushing the lid by hand from the top, a concentrated load is applied to the protrusion provided on the bottom surface of the lid. , the wrapping paper of the wrapped coin can be easily torn. Furthermore, even if the coins inside are scattered when the wrapping paper is torn, the box-shaped base prevents the coins from falling to the floor.

Furthermore, when not being used to open packaged coins, bills can be sandwiched between the lid and the box body, so it can be used as a bill holder. Therefore, it is very convenient to be able to hold banknotes when paying change.

<Description of Embodiment> An embodiment of this invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a packaged coin placed on a packaged coin opening device. Reference numeral 1 denotes a box body with an open top surface, and U-shaped grooves 2, 2 for placing packaged coins 20 are provided on left and right side walls 3, 3 formed thickly. Reference numeral 4 denotes a concave space formed in the center of the box body 1, and the front wall inner surface 5 and the rear wall inner surface 6 are formed into curved surfaces, and the front wall upper surface 7 is formed lower than the side wall upper surface 8, so that when the box is opened, the concave space is formed. It is now easier to take out coins that have fallen onto the space 4.

9 is a lid, and a hinge receiver 10 formed integrally is fitted into a hinge pin 11 fixed to the box body 1.
It opens and closes using this hinge pin 11 as a fulcrum. 12
is a protrusion provided at the center of the lower surface of the lid 9, and is elongated in the front-rear direction. Reference numeral 13 is a rubber whose surface is formed into an uneven shape, and is bonded to a position facing the upper surface 8 of the side wall, and serves as a buffer member.

FIG. 2 is a diagram when the packaged coin opening device is used as a bill clipper. The banknotes 21 are held between the upper surface 8 of the side wall of the box 1 and the rubber 13 on the lower surface of the lid 9. At this time, since the surface of the rubber 13 is formed in a concavo-convex shape, the banknotes are less likely to slip.

The packaged coin opening device configured in this way can be used by placing the packaged coin 20 on the U-shaped grooves 2, 2 of the box body 1, closing the lid 9, and pressing it from above. 12 comes into contact with the upper surface of the wrapped coin 20, and a concentrated load acts on this contact surface, so that the wrapping paper of the wrapped coin can be easily torn.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the banknotes are held between the lids only by the weight of the lid, but a torsion coil spring may be attached to the hinge pin 11 and the banknotes may be held between the hinge pins 11 by the force of the spring.
