Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is a simple coin vending machine for automatically dispensing toys mainly for children stored in spherical or other plastic capsules. There is a coin guide installed in a slot portion to prevent fallen leaves, dust, unsuitable coins, etc. from entering the slot as much as possible.

[Conventional technology]

Simple vending machines of the above type are widely used for selling plastic erasers, dolls, and small toys. However, in conventional vending machines, the slot for inserting coins faces upward and is often wider than the coin to be inserted.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

As mentioned above, the slots in conventional simple vending machines of the above type are wide, so fallen leaves and paper waste can easily get caught in them, and there is also a risk that inappropriate coins may be inserted, which can easily cause malfunctions.

Therefore, the present invention was designed to be installed in the slot of a simple vending machine, which can be easily installed in the slot of a conventional simple vending machine, and can prevent fallen leaves from entering the machine and guide only suitable coins into the slot. It aims to provide a coin guide.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention is of a type in which a product storage section 2 is joined onto a product dispensing section 3, a slot 4 for inserting coins is provided in the product dispensing section 3, and a rotary lever 5 for taking out products is provided directly below the slot 4. A coin guide 10 made of a substantially rectangular plastic plate that can be attached to a slot 4 of a simple vending machine exclusively for coins,
A recessed part 11 having a downwardly inclined bottom surface 12 is formed at the center of the upper side of the coin guide 10, and on both sides of the recessed part 11, the recessed part 11 extends in the vertical direction and the upper part is fixed to the upper part of the coin guide 10, Hanging legs 14 and 15 whose lower parts are separated from the coin guide 10 by the thickness of the front wall 4a of the slot 4 are provided, and the lower ends of the figure 7 are arranged above both sides of the coin guide 10 in the opposite direction to the upper bent part. Hanging fittings 18, 19 made of metal plates having an extended shape are provided, and the hanging fittings 18, 19 are
The vertical part is brought into close contact with the coin guide 10, and the lower end extension parts 18a and 19a are inserted into the locking holes 16 and 17 transparently provided in the coin guide 10, and the upper hook part is used for dispensing goods. The above-mentioned problem has been solved with a coin guide for installation in a slot part of a simple vending machine, which is hooked on the upper edge of the part 3 and further has a shaft holding hole 20 opening downward in the lower side of the coin guide 10.

[Effect]

This coin guide can be easily and securely installed in existing automatic machines by fitting the rotating shaft 7 of the rotating lever 5 into the shaft holding hole 20 through the hanging fittings 18 and 19 and the hanging legs 14 and 15. Can be installed on vending machines. The concave portion 11, which serves as a coin insertion opening, has a very limited size that allows only one suitable coin to enter, and leaves and paper waste are difficult to enter. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the insertion of large-diameter unsuitable coins.

〔Example〕

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a vending machine 1 equipped with a coin guide 10 according to the present invention.
The machine is comprised of a product storage section 2 for storing products in transparent plastic capsules such as spherical or egg-shaped capsules, and a product dispensing section 3. Product supply department 3
is provided with a slot 4 for inserting coins, a rotating lever 5 is installed directly below the slot 4, and a product outlet 6 is installed directly below the slot 4, and a coin guide 10 is installed from the slot 4 to the rotating lever 5. There is.

2 and 3 show the structure of the coin guide 10. FIG. The coin guide 10 is made of plastic and has an almost square shape, with a mark in the middle of the top.
A recessed portion 11 is formed with a width that allows coins to be inserted to rub against each other. The bottom surface 12 of the recessed portion 11 is sloped downward toward the inside. The side surface 13 following this bottom surface 12 has an even steeper slope. Hanging legs 14 and 15 are formed on both sides of the side surface 13. The hanging legs 14 and 15 extend in the vertical direction, and their upper parts are fixed to the upper part of the coin guide 10, and their lower parts are fixed to the upper part of the coin guide 1.
By separating it by a predetermined distance from 0, it forms a hook. The spacing corresponds to the thickness of the front wall 4a of the slot 4. Two windows 10a are formed in the middle of the coin guide 10, and in FIG. 2, the lower portions of the hanging legs 14, 15 are exposed through the windows 10a. The window 10a may not be provided. Slightly above both sides of the coin guide 10 are windows 10a.
Latching holes 16 and 17 are formed which are considerably smaller than the latching holes 16 and 17. Reference numerals 18 and 19 indicate metal plate hanging fittings having a shape in which the lower end of the figure 7 is extended horizontally in the opposite direction to the upward bending direction, the vertical part of which is in close contact with the inner surface of the coin guide 10, and the horizontal extension part 18a, 19a is inserted into the locking holes 16 and 17. In addition, hanging fittings 18,
The hook portion formed on the upper part of the product dispensing section 19 is hooked onto the front upper edge of the product dispensing section 3 when the product storage section 2 is removed from the product dispensing section 3. A shaft holding hole 20 having the same diameter as the rotating shaft 7 of the rotating lever 5 is formed in the lower part of the coin guide 10 . The shaft holding hole 20 opens downward, so that the rotating shaft 7 can easily fit into the shaft holding hole 20. In addition, shaft holding hole 2
The entrance 21 to the rotary shaft 7 is narrower than the shaft diameter so that the rotary shaft 7 housed in the shaft holding hole 20 is firmly held and cannot easily come off. Rotating shaft 7
When entering the shaft holding hole 20, the entrance 21
However, in order to enable this expansion, escape grooves 22 and 23 are provided on both sides.

When attaching the coin guide 10 having the above configuration to the vending machine 1, the product storage section 2 is first removed from the product dispensing section 3. And the hanging fitting 18,
Insert the lower horizontal extensions 18a, 19a of the hanging fittings 18, 19 into the latching holes 16, 17, respectively.
The hook part 9 is hooked on the upper front edge of the product dispensing part 3, and the hanging legs 14 and 15 are hooked on the front wall 4a of the slot 4. Then, the entrance 21 of the shaft holding hole 20 is applied to the rotating shaft holding hole 7, and the coin guide 10 is pushed down. Thus, coin guide 10 is
It is attached to the product dispensing section 3 so as to cover the slot 4. Thereafter, by placing and fixing the product storage section 2 on the product dispensing section 3, the hanging fitting 18,
Reference numeral 19 indicates the lower front end of the product storage section 2 and the product dispensing section 3.
Coin guide 1
0 is firmly fixed there, immovable.

When this coin guide 10 is installed, the recessed part 11 that becomes the coin insertion slot is large enough to allow only one suitable coin to pass through, and larger coins cannot be inserted, and fallen leaves, paper waste, etc. is difficult to get into. A suitable coin is placed between the recessed part 11 and the hanging leg 1.
4 and 15 and introduced into the slot 4.

The width of the concave portion 11 is such that a suitable coin can easily pass through it, but since the coin is inserted along the sloping bottom surface 12, there is some space in the vertical direction.
Even children can easily insert it.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention is as described above, and can be easily installed in existing vending machines, and has the effect of preventing fallen leaves, paper scraps, etc. from falling in, and the insertion of inappropriate coins as much as possible.
