No. 3,18,879, which is currently pending.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the device of this prior application, since the scraper member 105 for taking out the coin is formed by bending a thin metal rod, it is easily worn or deformed and must be replaced in a short period of time. . Further, two transfer belts 102 are also arranged on the bottom surface of the guide rail 100 having a lateral width substantially equal to the diameter of the coin, and the scraper member 105 projects between the two transfer belts 102, 102. Since it is necessary to provide a gap, it is possible to use only a very narrow thing having a width of about 7.5 mm, for example, and there is a problem in that it easily breaks even if a little load is applied. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a coin transfer conveyor in which the strength of a transfer belt and a member for taking out coins can be increased. It is intended to provide a coin takeout device.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the coin take-out device in the coin transfer conveyor of the present invention has a gutter-shaped guide rail whose width is slightly wider than the diameter of the coin, and the radius of the coin on the bottom surface of the guide rail. A transfer belt with a wider width and a width narrower than the diameter of the coin is arranged so as to run along one side of the guide rail, and a guide located between the other side of the guide rail and the transfer belt. On the bottom of the rail, the plunger of the solenoid is projected downward from the bottom so that the solenoid can be moved backwards, and the plunger is projected on the bottom of the guide rail when the solenoid turns ON, and the coin on the belt is transferred from the side of the guide rail. It was designed to be taken out.

[0005]

[Action]

 The coins sent out on the guide rails are carried on a transfer belt. On the other hand, when the solenoid is turned on by the coin request signal, the plunger of the solenoid projects above the bottom surface of the guide rail. As a result, the coin is diverted while coming into contact with the plunger and taken out from the side portion of the guide rail.
