Screwed to the rotating shaft (65a).
コイン一括トレイ(61)は、投入された多数の遊技メダルを受け入れる正面視ほぼＵ字状の受け部(61a)と、受け部(61a)の後端に連設されるとともに、回転盤(63)との間に、遊技メダルを起立状態、具体的には遊技メダルをメダル厚み方向が前後方向に向くように落し込んで、一時的に貯留可能な落し込み部(61b)とから形成されている。 The coin batch tray (61) is provided with a substantially U-shaped receiving portion (61a) for receiving a large number of inserted game medals in front view and a rear end of the receiving portion (61a). ), The game medal is formed in an upright state, specifically, a drop portion (61b) that can be temporarily stored by dropping the game medal so that the medal thickness direction is oriented in the front-back direction. I have.
コイン一括トレイ(61)は、主に図６及び図８に示すように、遊技機本体(１)の前面から露出する受け部(61a)が後側に向けて下り傾斜になるように設置される。これにより、受け部(61a)により受け入れられた遊技メダルは、自重をもって、受け部(61a)の上面を滑って、落し込み部(61b)に落ち込むようになる。 As shown mainly in FIGS. 6 and 8, the coin collective tray (61) is installed such that the receiving portion (61a) exposed from the front of the gaming machine main body (1) is inclined downward toward the rear. You. As a result, the game medals received by the receiving portion (61a) slide on the upper surface of the receiving portion (61a) by their own weight and fall into the drop-in portion (61b).
コイン一括トレイ(61)の落し込み部(61b)は、後述のように、後傾姿勢で支持される回転盤(63)の前面に対向するように設けられるとともに、主に図８に示すように、側面視がほぼ逆三角形で、かつ主に図13に示すように、後面視が下向き半月状をなしており、全体的に下方へ向けて開口幅が漸次狭くなるような形状をなしている。また、落し込み部(61b)における回転盤(63)に対向する対向面(61c)は、図８に示すように、垂直方向(Ｖ)に対して僅かに後傾、すなわち回転盤(63)側に向けて傾いている。 The drop portion (61b) of the coin collective tray (61) is provided so as to face the front surface of the turntable (63) supported in the backward tilted posture, as described later, and is mainly shown in FIG. On the other hand, the side view is substantially an inverted triangle, and as shown mainly in FIG. 13, the rear view has a downward semi-moon shape, and has a shape such that the opening width gradually narrows downward generally. I have. The facing surface (61c) of the drop portion (61b) facing the turntable (63) is slightly inclined backward with respect to the vertical direction (V) as shown in FIG. 8, that is, the turntable (63) Leaning towards the side.
落し込み部(61b)を上述の形状としたことにより、落し込み部(61b)に落ち込んだ遊技メダルは、メダル厚み方向を前後方向に向けた姿勢で、図13に符号(100)で示すように、下部中央に寄るとともに、図８に符号(100)で示すように、後方、すなわち回転盤(63)側に向けて倒れやすくなる。 By forming the drop portion (61b) in the above-described shape, the game medals dropped in the drop portion (61b) are oriented in the medal thickness direction in the front-rear direction, as indicated by reference numeral (100) in FIG. In addition, as shown by the reference numeral (100) in FIG.
また、落し込み部(61b)の上端と回転盤(63)との間の前後方向の隙間(Ａ)は、図８に示すように、遊技メダル(100)の直径より狭くなるように設定されている。 Further, the gap (A) in the front-rear direction between the upper end of the drop portion (61b) and the turntable (63) is set to be smaller than the diameter of the game medal (100) as shown in FIG. ing.
ベース部材(62)は、主に図６及び図８に示すように、コイン一括トレイ(61)の後側に後傾姿勢で固定されるとともに、その前面には、回転盤(63)を厚み方向に収容する深さを有する凹部(62a)が設けられている。 The base member (62) is fixed to the rear side of the coin batch tray (61) in a rearwardly inclined posture as shown mainly in FIGS. A recess (62a) having a depth to accommodate in the direction is provided.

In a posture inclined backward by 30 degrees, a pivotal axis (65a) inclined approximately 30 degrees upward in the forward direction, that is, a rotating shaft (65a) inclined with respect to the horizontal direction, pivotally supports the concave portion (62a) of the base member (62). Is done. As a result, the front surface of the turntable (63), that is, one side surface of the coin batch tray (61) facing the drop portion (61b) whose obtuse angle is obtuse is an opposing surface (61c) of the coin batch tray (61). ), And a large number of game medals are inserted between the facing surface (61c) of the recessed portion (61b) and the front surface of the turntable (63). It is possible to prevent the game medals from overlapping and dropping in the direction, and the game medals can be reliably taken in by the take-in holes (63a). Note that the axial direction (X) matches the axial direction of the rotating shaft (65a) of the motor (65).
なお、ベース部材(62)の凹部(62a)の深さは、回転盤(63)がベース部材(62)より前方へ突出しないように、回転盤(63)の厚みより僅かに深くなっている。 The depth of the concave portion (62a) of the base member (62) is slightly deeper than the thickness of the turntable (63) so that the turntable (63) does not protrude forward from the base member (62). .
回転盤(63)には、コイン一括トレイ(61)の落し込み部(61b)に落ち込んだ遊技メダルをメダル厚み方向に、回転盤(63)の前面側から、回転盤(63)の後面側、すなわち水平角が鋭角になる他側面に通過させる円形の取込孔(63a)が複数個（本実施形態においては４個）設けられている。 On the turntable (63), the game medals dropped into the drop portion (61b) of the coin collective tray (61) are placed in the medal thickness direction from the front side of the turntable (63) to the rear side of the turntable (63). In other words, a plurality of (four in the present embodiment) circular intake holes (63a) are provided to pass through the other side surface where the horizontal angle becomes an acute angle.
取込孔(63a)は、回転盤(63)の回転により、後述の取込位置(Ｂ)においてコイン一括トレイ(61)に投入された遊技メダルをその厚み方向を前後方向へ向けた状態で取り込んで、後述の送出位置(Ｃ)において回転盤(63)の後方へ送出するように作用する。また、取込孔(63a)を複数としたことにより、遊技メダルの取込及び送出を迅速に行うことができるようになっている。 The take-in hole (63a) is rotated by the rotation of the turntable (63), and the game medals inserted into the coin collective tray (61) at the take-in position (B) described later are oriented in a state where the thickness direction thereof is directed in the front-back direction. It takes in and acts so as to send it to the rear of the turntable (63) at a sending position (C) described later. In addition, by using a plurality of intake holes (63a), it is possible to quickly capture and send out game medals.
回転盤(63)における各取込孔(63a)が設けられた部分の前後方向の厚みは、遊技メダル１枚分の厚みより僅かに大きく、かつ遊技メダル２枚分の厚みより小さくなるように設定されている。これにより、取込孔(63a)に遊技メダルを確実に取り込むことができるとともに、遊技メダルを確実に送出位置(Ｂ)に搬送することができる。 The thickness of the portion of the turntable (63) provided with each intake hole (63a) in the front-rear direction is slightly larger than the thickness of one game medal and smaller than the thickness of two game medals. Is set. Thereby, the game medals can be reliably taken into the take-in hole (63a), and the game medals can be reliably transported to the sending position (B).
回転盤(63)は、回転盤(63)の後面に沿って配置されるベース部材(62)との協同作用をもって、モータ(65)により、図４及び図５において反時計方向へ回転させられると、複数の取込孔(63a)のうち取込位置(Ｂ)（本実施形態においては、最下位位置）にある取込孔(63a)によって、落し込み部(61b)に貯留されている遊技メダルを前面側から取り込み可能で、かつ遊技メダルを取り込んだ取込孔(63a)が送出位置(Ｃ)（本実施形態においては、最上位位置を僅かに過ぎた位置）に変位すると、後述のように、遊技メダルを取込孔(63a)から後方へ送出させるようになっている。 The turntable (63) is rotated counterclockwise in FIGS. 4 and 5 by a motor (65) in cooperation with a base member (62) arranged along the rear surface of the turntable (63). Of the plurality of intake holes (63a), the intake holes (63a) located at the intake position (B) (in this embodiment, the lowest position) are stored in the drop portion (61b). When the game medal can be taken in from the front side and the take-in hole (63a) taking in the game medal is displaced to the delivery position (C) (in this embodiment, a position slightly past the uppermost position), it will be described later. As described above, the game medals are sent backward from the intake hole (63a).
ベース部材(62)は、回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、取込孔(63a)が取込位置(Ｂ)から送出位置(Ｃ)に向けて変位するまでの範囲において、取込孔(63a)に取り込まれた遊技メダルが取込孔(63a)から回転盤(63)の後面側に抜け出すことがないように、取込孔(63a)の後方を閉塞して、遊技メダルを回転盤(63)の回転方向へ沿って搬送可能とする閉塞部(62c)と、遊技メダルを取り込んだ取込孔(63a)が送出位置(Ｃ)に変位したとき、遊技メダルがその厚み方向を前後方向に向けた状態で、取込孔(63a)から回転盤(63)の後面側に送出されるように、取込孔(63a)の後方を開放する送出口(62b)とを有している。 The base member (62) moves the intake hole (63a) from the intake position (B) toward the delivery position (C) with the rotation of the turntable (63). The rear of the intake hole (63a) is closed and the game medal is rotated so that the game medal taken into (63a) does not escape from the intake hole (63a) to the rear side of the turntable (63). When the closing portion (62c) that can be conveyed along the rotation direction of the board (63) and the take-in hole (63a) that takes in the game medal are displaced to the sending position (C), the game medal changes its thickness direction. An outlet (62b) for opening the rear of the intake hole (63a) so as to be sent out from the intake hole (63a) to the rear side of the turntable (63) in the front-rear direction. ing.
ガイド部材(64)は、ベース部材(62)の後面側に固定されるとともに、その前面側には、回転盤(63)の取込孔(63a)から送出されてベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)を通過した遊技メダルを、遊技メダルセレクターに向けて誘導するための下向き排出溝(64a)が設けられている。この排出溝(64a)の上部は、ベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)に対向する位置に設けられる。 The guide member (64) is fixed to the rear side of the base member (62), and is fed from the intake hole (63a) of the turntable (63) to the front side thereof to feed the base member (62). A downward discharge groove (64a) for guiding a game medal that has passed through the exit (62b) toward a game medal selector is provided. The upper portion of the discharge groove (64a) is provided at a position facing the outlet (62b) of the base member (62).
排出溝(64a)の上部右側縁、すなわち取込孔(63a)の取込位置に対応する部分には、遊技メダルが取込孔(63a)から抜け出て、排出溝(64a)に入り込むときの当接音を緩和するための、遊技メダルの移動方向に沿って、後ろ向き傾斜面(64b)が設けられている。 The upper right edge of the discharge groove (64a), that is, the portion corresponding to the position where the take-in hole (63a) is taken in when the game medal escapes from the take-in hole (63a) and enters the discharge groove (64a). A rearwardly inclined surface (64b) is provided along the moving direction of the game medal to reduce the contact sound.
遊技メダル(100)は、取込孔(63a)から排出溝(64a)に移動するとき、図１１に示すように、先にその移動方向の前端部が排出溝(64a)に入り込み、次いで、後端部が排出溝(64a)に入り込む。このとき、図12に示すように、遊技メダル(100)の後端部が、傾斜面(64b)に案内されて、徐々に排出溝(64a)に入り込ませることが可能となり、遊技メダル(100)を円滑かつ静かに排出溝(64a)に移動させることが可能となる。 When the game medal (100) moves from the intake hole (63a) to the discharge groove (64a), as shown in FIG. 11, the front end in the moving direction first enters the discharge groove (64a), The rear end enters the discharge groove (64a). At this time, as shown in FIG. 12, the rear end of the game medal (100) is guided by the inclined surface (64b), and can be gradually entered into the discharge groove (64a). ) Can be smoothly and quietly moved to the discharge groove (64a).
隠蔽部材(66)は、正面視ほぼ上向き半円状をなして、回転盤(63)のほぼ上半分の前面を覆うようにベース部材(62)に固定されることにより、取込位置(Ｂ)またはその近傍にある取込孔(63a)以外の取込孔(63a)の一部または全体を隠蔽することができる。これにより、隠蔽部材(66)により前方が隠蔽された取込孔(63a)に対する異物の入り込みを阻止して、回転盤(63)を常時円滑に回転させることができる。 The concealing member (66) has a substantially upward semi-circular shape when viewed from the front, and is fixed to the base member (62) so as to cover substantially the front half of the upper half of the turntable (63). ) Or a part or the whole of the intake hole (63a) other than the intake hole (63a) in the vicinity thereof. Accordingly, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the intake hole (63a) whose front is concealed by the concealing member (66), and the turntable (63) can always be smoothly rotated.
なお、本実施形態における隠蔽部材(66)の右下縁部は、コイン通過制限手段(67)を形成している。このコイン通過制御手段(67)は、回転盤(63)の前側にあって、かつ取込孔(63a)が取込位置(Ｂ)から送出位置(Ｃ)へ移動する経路の途中に設けられ、取込孔(63a)に２枚の遊技メダルが重なって取り込まれた場合、後から取り込まれた方の遊技メダルを取込孔(63a)から退かすためのものである。 The lower right edge of the concealing member (66) in the present embodiment forms a coin passage restricting means (67). The coin passing control means (67) is provided at the front side of the turntable (63) and provided in the middle of a path in which the take-in hole (63a) moves from the take-in position (B) to the sending-out position (C). In the case where two game medals are overlapped and taken in the take-in hole (63a), the game medal taken later is withdrawn from the take-in hole (63a).
コイン通過制限手段(67)と回転盤(63)の前面との間の隙間は、図１０に示すように、取込孔(63a)に２枚の遊技メダル(100)が重なって取り込まれた場合、後から取り込まれた方の前側の遊技メダル(100)が取込孔(63a)から前方へ突出する量より狭くなるように設定されている。 As shown in FIG. 10, two game medals (100) overlapped with the take-in hole (63a) and were taken in between the coin passage restricting means (67) and the front surface of the turntable (63). In this case, the game medal (100) on the front side, which is taken in later, is set to be narrower than the amount projecting forward from the take-in hole (63a).
隠蔽部材(66)の後面の左半分、すなわち取込位置(Ｃ)にある取込孔(63a)に対向する部分（ベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)と対向する部分）には、遊技メダルの逃がし部(66a)が設けられている。この逃がし部(66a)は、対向側と反対側（前側）へ扇形状に凹んでおり、遊技メダルが取込孔(63a)から排出溝(64a)に移動するとき、遊技メダルの移動方向の後端側が隠蔽部材(66)と干渉しないようにして、遊技メダルを排出溝(64a)へ円滑に送出させるようにするものである。 The left half of the rear surface of the concealing member (66), that is, the portion facing the intake hole (63a) at the capture position (C) (the portion facing the outlet (62b) of the base member (62)) A game medal escape section (66a) is provided. The escape portion (66a) is concave in a fan shape on the opposite side (front side) to the opposite side, and when the game medal moves from the intake hole (63a) to the discharge groove (64a), the escape direction (66a) is in the moving direction of the game medal. The rear end side does not interfere with the concealing member (66) so that the game medals can be smoothly transmitted to the discharge groove (64a).
次に、コイン取込及び送出装置(６)における遊技メダルの取込及び送出動作、並びにそのときの各部の作用効果について説明する。
コイン一括トレイ(61)に多数の遊技メダルを投入した状態で、ゲーム投入スイッチ(20)等のスイッチが操作されると、モータ(65)が駆動制御され、回転盤(63)は、図４において反時計方向へ回転する。
Next, a description will be given of the operation of taking and sending game medals in the coin taking and sending device (6), and the operation and effect of each unit at that time.
When a switch such as a game input switch (20) is operated in a state where a large number of game medals are inserted into the coin collective tray (61), the motor (65) is driven and controlled, and Rotates counterclockwise at.
回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、落し込み部(61b)に貯留されている遊技メダルは、厚み方向を前後方向に向けた状態で、取込位置(Ｂ)にある取込孔(63a)により取り込まれる。 With the rotation of the turntable (63), the game medals stored in the drop-in portion (61b) have the intake hole (63a) at the intake position (B) with the thickness direction oriented in the front-back direction. ).
遊技メダルの落し込み部(61b)への落し込みに際しては、前述のように、落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)と回転盤(63)との前後方向の隙間(Ａ)を、遊技メダルの直径より小さくしているので、落し込み部(61b)に遊技メダルが挟み込まれて、落し込み部(61b)が詰まってしまうような事態を未然に防止することができ、遊技メダルをその厚み方向を前後方向に向けた状態で、確実に落し込み部(61b)に落し込ませることが可能となっている。 When dropping the gaming medal into the drop portion (61b), as described above, the gap (A) in the front-rear direction between the facing surface (61c) of the drop portion (61b) and the turntable (63), Since the diameter of the game medal is smaller than the diameter of the game medal, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the game medal is pinched in the dropping portion (61b) and the dropping portion (61b) is clogged. With the thickness direction oriented in the front-rear direction, it is possible to reliably drop into the drop portion (61b).
このことを詳細に説明すると、図８に示すように、コイン一括トレイ(61)に投入された遊技メダル(100)が、その径方向を上下方向に向けた姿勢で落し込み部(61b)に落ち込もうとすると、仮に、隙間(Ａ)が遊技メダル(100)の直径より大きい場合には、遊技メダル(100)が落し込み部(61b)の途中まで落ち込むものの、途中で落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)と回転盤(63)との間に挟み込まれて、それ以上の落ち込みができなくなる事態が発生する。このような事態が発生すると、落し込み部(61b)が詰まってしまい、その後に続く他の遊技メダルも落し込み部(61b)に落ち込むことができなくなり、遊技メダルの取り込みが不能になる。 To explain this in detail, as shown in FIG. 8, the gaming medals (100) inserted into the coin collective tray (61) enter the dropping portion (61b) with the radial direction thereof oriented vertically. If the gap (A) is larger than the diameter of the gaming medal (100), the gaming medal (100) falls to the middle of the falling part (61b), but the middle of the falling part (61b). A situation occurs in which the pinch is sandwiched between the opposing surface (61c) of the rotary disc (61b) and the turntable (63), and a further drop cannot be performed. When such a situation occurs, the drop portion (61b) is clogged, and other subsequent game medals cannot be dropped into the drop portion (61b), and it becomes impossible to capture game medals.
しかし、本実施形態のように、隙間(Ａ)を遊技メダル(100)の直径より小さくした場合には、遊技メダル(100)がその直径方向を上下方向に向けた姿勢で、コイン一括トレイ(61)における落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)と回転盤(63)との間に挟み込まれることがなくなり、コイン一括トレイ(61)の落し込み部(61b)の詰まりを防止することができ、遊技メダルをコイン一括トレイ(61)の落し込み部(61b)に確実に落し込ませて、回転盤(63)の取込孔(63a)により遊技メダルを確実に取り込めることができる。 However, when the gap (A) is smaller than the diameter of the game medal (100) as in this embodiment, the coin collective tray ( (61) is prevented from being caught between the facing surface (61c) of the notch (61b) and the turntable (63), thereby preventing the clogging of the notch (61b) of the coin batch tray (61). The game medals can be surely dropped into the drop portion (61b) of the coin collective tray (61), and the game medals can be reliably taken in through the intake holes (63a) of the turntable (63).
また、落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)と回転盤(63)とが、前述のように鋭角の関係にあるので、多数の遊技メダルが落し込み部(61b)に一度に落ち込むことが抑制され、遊技メダルを１枚ずつ取込孔(63a)により取り込ませることが可能となる。 Also, since the opposing surface (61c) of the drop portion (61b) and the turntable (63) have an acute angle relationship as described above, many game medals may fall into the drop portion (61b) at one time. Is suppressed, and game medals can be taken in one by one through the take-in hole (63a).
さらには、落し込み部(61b)の対向面(61c)が後方へ傾いていることにより、落し込み部(61b)に落ち込んだ遊技メダルは、回転盤(63)側に向けて倒れ込み、回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、取込位置(Ｂ)にある取込孔(63a)により確実に取り込まれる。 Furthermore, since the opposing surface (61c) of the drop portion (61b) is inclined rearward, the game medals falling into the drop portion (61b) fall down toward the turntable (63) side, and the turntable With the rotation of (63), it is reliably taken in by the taking-in hole (63a) at the taking-in position (B).
取込孔(63a)により取り込まれた遊技メダルは、ベース部材(62)の閉塞部(62c)により取込孔(63a)の後方が閉塞されているため、回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、取込孔(63a)に取り込まれた状態で回転盤(63)の回転方向に沿って搬送されて送出位置(Ｃ)に移動する。 The game medal taken in by the take-in hole (63a) is accompanied by the rotation of the turntable (63) because the rear of the take-in hole (63a) is closed by the closing part (62c) of the base member (62). Then, while being taken in the take-in hole (63a), it is conveyed along the rotation direction of the turntable (63) and moves to the delivery position (C).
なお、遊技メダルの取り込みに際し、２枚の遊技メダルが重なった状態で取込孔(63a)に取り込まれた場合には、図１０に示すように、後に取り込まれた方の遊技メダル(100)が取付孔(63a)から前方へ突出しているため、遊技メダル(100)が送出位置(Ｃ)に搬送される前に、後から取り込まれた遊技メダル(100)が、コイン通過制御手段(67)に当接して取込孔(63a)から退けられることにより、コイン一括トレイ(61)に一括投入された多数の遊技メダルを１枚ずつ順次取り込んで、１枚ずつ順次送出することができる。 When two game medals are taken into the take-in hole (63a) in a state of being superimposed upon taking in the game medal, as shown in FIG. Projecting forward from the mounting hole (63a), before the game medal (100) is conveyed to the delivery position (C), the game medal (100) taken in later is passed through the coin passage control means (67). ), And is retreated from the take-in hole (63a), so that a large number of game medals which are collectively inserted into the coin collective tray (61) can be taken in one by one and sequentially sent out one by one.
図５に示すように、回転盤(63)の回転に伴って、取込孔(63a)が、送出位置(Ｃ)に達してベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)と重合すると、回転盤(63)が後傾しているため、遊技メダル(100)は、自重をもって、取込孔(63a)から後方へ抜け出す。 As shown in FIG. 5, with the rotation of the turntable (63), the intake hole (63a) reaches the delivery position (C) and overlaps with the delivery port (62b) of the base member (62). Since the board (63) is inclined backward, the game medal (100) escapes rearward from the intake hole (63a) by its own weight.
送出位置(Ｂ)にある取込孔(63a)から抜け出た遊技メダルは、ベース部材(62)の送出口(62b)を通過して、ガイド部材(64)の排出溝(64a)に送り込まれ、この排出溝(64a)により、遊技メダルセレクターに向けて確実に送出される。 The game medals that escape from the intake hole (63a) at the delivery position (B) pass through the delivery port (62b) of the base member (62) and are fed into the discharge groove (64a) of the guide member (64). The discharge medal (64a) ensures that the medal is transmitted to the game medal selector.
また、回転盤(63)の回転中においては、隠蔽部材(66)により送出位置(Ｃ)またはその近傍にある取込孔(63a)の前方が隠蔽されているので、取込孔(63a)に異物が入り込んで、回転盤(63)が作動不能になったりするような作動不良を防止して、回転盤(63)の確実な回転を得ることができる。 Also, during rotation of the turntable (63), the concealing member (66) conceals the front of the take-out hole (63a) at or near the delivery position (C), so that the take-in hole (63a) It is possible to prevent a malfunction such that the rotating disk (63) becomes inoperable due to foreign matter entering the rotating disk (63), and it is possible to obtain a reliable rotation of the rotating disk (63).
上述のように、コイン取込及び送出装置(６)は、コイン一括トレイ(61)、隠蔽部材(66)、回転盤(63)、ベース部材(62)、ガイド部材(64)、及びモータ(65)を、順次後方へ積層するように組み付け可能であるので、極めて組付性が良い。 As described above, the coin loading and unloading device (6) includes a coin batch tray (61), a concealing member (66), a turntable (63), a base member (62), a guide member (64), and a motor ( 65) can be assembled so as to be sequentially stacked rearward, so that the assemblability is extremely good.
また、回転盤(63)を、コイン一括トレイ(61)に固定されたベース部材(62)に支持したので、より具体的には、回転盤(63)を、水平方向に対して傾斜した回転軸(65a)によりベース部材(62)に枢支するとともに、コイン一括トレイ(61)を、回転盤(63)の前面（一側面）に対向するようにベース部材(62)に設けたことにより、コイン一括トレイ(61)とベース部材(62)と回転盤(63)とのユニット化が可能となり、遊技機本体（被取付体）に対して簡単かつ確実な取り付けが可能となる。 Also, since the turntable (63) is supported by the base member (62) fixed to the coin batch tray (61), more specifically, the turntable (63) is By pivotally supporting the base member (62) by the shaft (65a), the coin batch tray (61) is provided on the base member (62) so as to face the front surface (one side surface) of the turntable (63). This makes it possible to unitize the coin collective tray (61), the base member (62), and the turntable (63), and it is possible to easily and reliably mount the coin to the gaming machine main body (attached body).
さらには、遊技メダルをその厚み方向を前後方向に向けた状態で、前方から取り込んで、後方へ送出可能としているため、従来のような遊技メダルを回転盤の遠心方向へ送出させるものとは異なり、狭いスペースで遊技メダルを取込及び送出することができ、装置全体の小型化及び薄型化を容易に図ることができ、遊技機本体(１)の狭いスペースに取り付け可能となる。 Furthermore, since the game medals are fetched from the front and can be sent out rearward with the thickness direction thereof oriented in the front-back direction, unlike the conventional game medals which are sent out in the centrifugal direction of the turntable. It is possible to take in and send out game medals in a narrow space, to easily reduce the size and thickness of the entire device, and to be able to attach the game medal to the narrow space of the game machine main body (1).
