Description

メダルを投入して遊技する遊技機の近くに配置され、紙幣・硬貨又は有価カードの使用により遊技機に使用するメダルを払い出す貸機であって、遊技機で使用されたメダルを貸機の前面にある投入シュートから投入すると、投入したメダルの枚数分だけ電気信号でメダル枚数を出力して、これを表示又はその投入総数等を表示し、更に貸機内外にあるメダル数処理装置へそのメダル枚数の電気信号を送れるようにした貸機において、投入シュートから人がメダルを投入するとき、メダルが投入シュート外へ零れるのを少なくする技術である。 A lending machine that is placed near a gaming machine in which a medal is inserted and that pays out medals used in the gaming machine by using bills, coins or valuable cards. When inserted from the insertion chute on the front, the number of medals is output by an electrical signal for the number of inserted medals, and this is displayed or the total number of medals is displayed, and further to the medal number processing device inside and outside the lending machine. In a lending machine that can send an electrical signal for the number of medals, this is a technique for reducing the amount of medals that spill out of the insertion chute when a person inserts a medal from the insertion chute.

従来、遊技店ではメダルを使用する複数の各遊技機の傍に貸機が配置されている。貸機は、紙幣・硬貨又は有価カードを使用すると、所要枚数のメダルが貸機の受皿又は遊技機に直接払い出されるようになっている。 Conventionally, a rental machine is arranged near each of a plurality of gaming machines that use medals at game stores. When a lending machine uses banknotes / coins or valuable cards, a required number of medals are paid out directly to a tray of the lending machine or a gaming machine.

近年、特許文献１で知られるように遊技機で得たメダルを遊技中に整理の為又は精算の為に貸機の投入シュートから投入して、メダル枚数を貸機内のメダルカウンターでカウントしてそのメダル枚数を電気信号として出力し、更に投入したメダルのメダル枚数を貸機前面に表示し、又は貸機内又は外部のメダル枚数処理装置がこれを入力してメダル数の計算処理ができるようにしている。 In recent years, as known from Patent Document 1, medals obtained with a gaming machine are inserted from a lending machine's shooting chute for arrangement or settlement during the game, and the number of medals is counted by a medal counter in the lending machine. The medal number is output as an electric signal, and the medal number of the inserted medal is displayed on the front of the lending machine, or the medal number processing device in or outside the lending machine can input this to calculate the number of medals. ing.

従来の投入シュートは貸機の前面から突出するように固設された上方開口して投入口とする筒状のシュートであって、同投入シュートの底面の開口から貸機内にメダルを搬送し、貸機内のメダルカウンターへ送られてメダル枚数の電気信号を出力するようになっている。 The conventional throwing chute is a cylindrical chute that is fixed upward so as to protrude from the front of the lending machine and serves as a loading opening, and conveys medals into the lending machine from the bottom opening of the throwing chute, It is sent to a medal counter in the lending machine and outputs an electrical signal indicating the number of medals.

しかしながら、この投入シュートの投入口へ遊技者が遊技機のメダルを手で掬って投入するが、その投入の際にメダルが投入口に落下せずにその外周から落下し、遊技店の床又は棚の上に散乱するように落下し、メダルの回収作業が必要となることが発生していた。又、その回収作業の為に遊技を中断せねばならなかった。 However, a player hits and inserts a medal of a gaming machine by hand into the input port of this input chute, but at the time of the input, the medal does not fall into the input port but falls from the outer periphery thereof, There was a case where it fell on the shelf so as to be scattered, and it was necessary to collect medals. Moreover, the game had to be interrupted for the collection work.

メダル掬れを防ぐために、出願人は投入シュートを前後方向に進退自在とし、前方に投入シュートを引出せば投入シュートの投入口が前後方向に長くなって投入口面積を増やし、メダル掬れを少なくする改良がなされている。しかしながら、投入口の前後方向に長くなって投入し易くなっているが、左右方向の巾がまだ狭いため、左右方向からメダルが掬れることが発生している。 In order to prevent medal drowning, the applicant can make the throwing chute move forward and backward, and if the throwing chute is pulled forward, the throwing chute's slot becomes longer in the front / rear direction, increasing the slot opening area and reducing medal drowning. Improvements have been made. However, although it is longer in the front-and-rear direction of the insertion slot, it is easier to insert, but since the width in the left-right direction is still narrow, medals can be drawn from the left-right direction.

これとは別に、貸機の投入シュートのメダル投入口へ心ない遊技者がタバコの吸殻・チューインガム等を投入することもあった。これら異物が投入されるとメダル搬送路を詰らせたり、メダルカウンターが故障したり、又はメダル回収路の故障・メダルの洗滌を困難としていた。 Apart from this, unintentional players sometimes put cigarette butts and chewing gum into the medal slot of the lending slot. When these foreign substances are inserted, the medal transport path is clogged, the medal counter breaks down, or the medal recovery path fails or the medals are difficult to clean.

（実施例の動作）
この実施例の遊技機用貸機Ｇの基本的メダルの流れは、遊技店の島毎に配設されているメダル供給ライン２ａから貸機１内のメダルホッパー１ｂへメダルはメダル供給路２ｃを介して補給される。そして、紙幣が紙幣投入口３に投入されると紙幣判別装置４が紙幣の真偽を判断し、その紙幣額と枚数信号をコンピュータを使った制御管理装置５に入力し、同制御管理装置５でその投入紙幣の金額に応じたメダルの枚数の払出信号をメダル払出器１ｃへ出力する。又、同時に貸器１の前面１ａに設けた投入紙幣額表示器６と払出メダル枚数表示器７にその額と払い出すメダル枚数を表示する。そして、メダル払出器１ｃは払出信号を受けて、メダルホッパー１ｂの下部からその投入紙幣の額に応じた枚数のメダルをメダル払出路１ｄとその先端で貸機１の前面１ａから突出しているメダル払い出しシュート１ｅを介して遊技機９の受皿へ送り出している。この構造・機能は従来の貸機１の基本的なことで周知であるので、詳細は省略する。 (Operation of the embodiment)
The basic medal flow of the gaming machine rental machine G of this embodiment is as follows. The medal passes from the medal supply line 2a arranged for each island of the game shop to the medal hopper 1b in the rental machine 1 through the medal supply path 2c. Be replenished. When a bill is inserted into the bill insertion slot 3, the bill discriminating device 4 determines whether the bill is authentic, and inputs the bill amount and the number signal to the control management device 5 using a computer. Then, a payout signal of the number of medals corresponding to the amount of the inserted bill is output to the medal dispenser 1c. At the same time, the amount and the number of medals to be paid out are displayed on the inserted bill amount display 6 and the payout medal number display 7 provided on the front surface 1a of the lending device 1. The medal dispenser 1c receives a payout signal, and from the lower part of the medal hopper 1b, medals of the number corresponding to the amount of the inserted banknote protrude from the front face 1a of the lending machine 1 at the medal payout path 1d and its tip. It is sent out to the tray of the gaming machine 9 through the payout chute 1e. Since this structure / function is well known in the basics of the conventional lending machine 1, the details are omitted.

又、貸機１の前面１ａには遊技機９で使用して遊技者が保有しているメダルをメダルの整理又は精算の為に投入するメダルの筒状の投入シュート１０を設けている。
この筒状の投入シュート１０の上方開口の投入口１０ｅからメダルが投入されると、メダルは直接又は一部はメダル滑落面１０ｇを介して底面落し口１０ｆから落下して、下方のシュート受枠１２の内部に入り、そのメダル落下口１２ｂを介してメダル搬送路１３を通過してメダルカウンター１４へ送られる。同メダルカウンター１４は送られてくるメダルの枚数をカウントし、そのカウント値の電気信号を制御管理装置５へ送り、投入メダル枚数を貸機１前面の投入メダル数表示器８に表示する。
この機能も、投入シュートを有する貸機１の公知の動作であるので、詳細は省いている。メダルカウンター１４及びオーバーフロー管１ｂ_１から排出されるメダルは、メダル回収路２ｄを介してメダル回収ライン２ｂへ送られて回収される。 Also, on the front face 1a of the lending machine 1, a medal cylindrical throwing chute 10 is provided which is used in the gaming machine 9 to throw medal held by the player for organizing or paying out medals.
When a medal is inserted from the opening 10e in the upper opening of the cylindrical insertion chute 10, the medal falls directly or partially from the bottom drop opening 10f through the medal sliding surface 10g, and the lower chute receiving frame 12 is dropped. , Passes through the medal transport path 13 through the medal drop opening 12b, and is sent to the medal counter 14. The medal counter 14 counts the number of medals sent, sends an electric signal of the count value to the control management device 5, and displays the number of inserted medals on the inserted medal number display 8 on the front surface of the lending machine 1.
Since this function is also a known operation of the lending machine 1 having an input chute, details are omitted. Medals discharged from the medal counter 14 and the overflow pipe 1b ₁ is recovered is sent via the medal recovery passage 2d to the medal recovery line 2b.

（メダル投入がない場合の投入シュートの状態）
投入シュート１０からメダルを投入しない場合、投入シュート１０はその前後方向の長さの３割程後方に押されて，図２及び図９（ａ）の図の状態にある。この後方状態では、メダルの投入口１０ｅの上方に開口している面積は３割程減少していて、蓋１１が閉じて投入口１０ｅは閉鎖され、投入口１０ｅから異物の投入ができないようになっている。
投入シュート１０をその下方のシュート受枠１２上縁１２ａに沿って後方に移動されると、蓋１１の後縁１１ｄの下方に垂設したアーム１１ｂはその貸機の前面１ａの開口１ａ_１の上方の定位置の枢支軸１１ａまわりに回転でき、且つそのアーム１１ｂの下端の水平軸部１１ｂ_１が後側面部１０ｄ_４に設けた縦の長孔１１ｃに係合しているので、投入シュート１０が後方へ移動するとアーム１１ｂの水平軸部１１ｂ_１も後方に移動し、長孔１１ｃに沿って上昇し、長孔１１ｃの孔終端で停止する。アーム１１ｂは枢支軸１１ａまわりに蓋１１を閉じる方向に回動し、蓋１１が投入シュート１０の投入口１０ｅの上縁に当った時、水平軸部１１ｂ_１は長孔１１ｃの孔終端で停止するように調整されている。 (Injection chute state when no medal is inserted)
When no medal is inserted from the insertion chute 10, the insertion chute 10 is pushed backward by about 30% of the length in the front-rear direction, and is in the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 9A. In this rear state, the area opened above the medal slot 10e is reduced by about 30% so that the lid 11 is closed and the slot 10e is closed, so that foreign matter cannot be thrown from the slot 10e. It has become.
When moving the chute 10 back along the chute receiving frame 12 the upper edge 12a of the lower arm 11b that is vertically below the edge 11d after the lid 11 above the opening 1a ₁ of the front surface 1a of the rental machine the rotatable around the pivot shaft 11a of the fixed position, and since the horizontal axis portion 11b ₁ of the lower end of the arm 11b is engaged with the vertical long hole 11c formed in the rear side portions 10d _4, chute 10 There horizontal axis portion 11b ₁ of the arm 11b when moving backward also moves backward, and upward along the long holes 11c, stopping at the hole end of the long hole 11c. Arm 11b is rotated in a direction of closing the lid 11 around the pivot shaft 11a, when the lid 11 strikes the upper edge of the inlet 10e of the chute 10, the horizontal axis portion 11b ₁ in the hole end of the elongated hole 11c It has been adjusted to stop.

そして、右側壁は図９（ｂ）及び図２に示すように、コイルねじりばね１０ｋ_１，１０ｋ_２によって前中間側面部１０ｄ_２を右外方向に及び後中間側面部１０ｄ_３を左内方向に拡巾するように付勢しているが、コイルねじりばね１０ｋ_１の付勢力が強いため、前中間側面部１０ｄ_２及び後中間側面部１０ｄ_３を外右方向に付勢する。しかし、貸機１の前面１ａの開口１ａ_１の開口縁が後中間側面部１０ｄ_３の外側を規制することで垂直状態に保持され、又その内側に接触する前中間側面部１０ｄ_２も垂直になり、投入口は本来の長方形状となり、しかも開口面積が３割程減った上、蓋１１が閉められ、図１，図９（ａ）の状態となる。 As shown in FIGS. 9B and 2, the right side wall has the front intermediate side surface portion 10d ₂ in the right outer direction and the rear intermediate side surface portion 10d ₃ in the left inward direction by the coil torsion springs 10k ₁ and 10k ₂ . While it is urged to拡巾, since the urging force of the spring 10k ₁ torsion coil strong, pre biases the intermediate side portions 10d ₂ and the rear intermediate side portion 10d ₃ in the outer right. However, the opening edge of the opening 1a ₁ of the front surface 1a of the rental machine 1 is held in a vertical state by regulating the outside of the rear intermediate side portion 10d _3, also vertically even before the intermediate side portions 10d ₂ in contact with its inner side Thus, the insertion port has an original rectangular shape, and the opening area is reduced by about 30%, the lid 11 is closed, and the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 9A is obtained.

（メダル投入する場合）
遊技者がメダル投入したい場合は、遊技者は投入シュート１０を前方へ引き出す。投入シュート１０が前方へ移動すると、その後側面部１０ｄ_４の長孔１１ｃも前方に移動し、同長孔に係合したアーム１１ｂの水平軸部１１ｂ_１も図４に示すように前方へ移動し、蓋１１を枢支軸１１ａまわりに開くように回動する。これによって、投入口１０ｅは図３，５に示されるように全面的に上方に開放され、メダルを投入できるようになる。 (When inserting medals)
When the player wants to insert a medal, the player pulls the insertion chute 10 forward. When chute 10 is moved forward, then the long hole 11c of the side surface portion 10d ₄ also moves forward, the horizontal axis portion 11b ₁ of the arm 11b engaged with the elongated hole is also moved forward, as shown in FIG. 4 The lid 11 is rotated so as to open around the pivot shaft 11a. As a result, the insertion slot 10e is fully opened upward as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 so that medals can be inserted.

一方、右側壁１０ｄはコイルねじりばね１０ｋ_１によって前・後中間側面部１０ｄ_２，１０ｄ_３は右外方向に付勢されるが、後中間側面部１０ｄ_３は図２，４，図９（ａ），図１２（ａ）に示すように開口１ａ_１の開口縁１ａ_２の前方にあって開口縁１ａ_２に規制されて、箱形状を保っている。しかし、投入シュート１０が前方へ引き出されると開口縁１ａ_２の規制がなくなって、コイルねじりばね１０ｋ_１の付勢力によって図３，５，図９（ｂ），図１２（ｂ）の如く三角形状に右方向に拡がって、投入口１０ｅの開口面積は長方形状より更に右方向に膨れた開口形状となって増える。これによって、メダルを手で掬って投入口１０ｅへ投入してもメダルが投入口１０ｅ外へ零れて落下することが少なくなる。コイルねじりばね１０ｋ_２は左内方向に戻すように付勢して、前・後中間側面部１０ｄ_２，１０ｄ_３を互に連係させて噛合状態を保持させる。 On the other hand, the right side wall 10d is, after the intermediate side portions _10d 2, 10d ₃ before the spring 10k ₁ torsion coil is energized to the right outward, the rear intermediate side portion 10d ₃ are 2 and 4, FIG. 9 (a ), it is restricted to the opening edge 1a ₂ in the front of the opening 1a ₁ of the opening edge 1a ₂ as shown in FIG. 12 (a), is maintained a box shape. However, chute 10 is no longer regulated when the opening edge 1a ₂ drawn forward, 3 and 5 by the urging force of the spring 10k ₁ torsion coil, FIG. 9 (b), the 12 triangular as (b) In the right direction, the opening area of the inlet 10e is increased to an opening shape that swells further to the right than the rectangular shape. As a result, even if the medal is hand-rolled and inserted into the insertion slot 10e, the medal is less likely to fall out of the insertion slot 10e and fall. Spring 10k ₂ torsion coil biases back to left internal direction, the front and rear intermediate side portions 10d _2, 10d ₃ is mutually linked to hold the meshed state.

このように、本実施例では投入シュート１０を貸機１の前面１ａ方向に押しつけることで、投入口１０ｅが蓋１１で自動的に閉鎖され、異物の投入口１０ｅからの投入を少なくできる。
次に、投入シュート１０を前方に引出すと、投入口が長方形状となって基本的に面積が増えるとともに、右側面が三角形状拡巾して更に投入面積を増やし、メダルの零れなく投入し易くした。 In this way, in this embodiment, by pushing the charging chute 10 toward the front surface 1a of the lending machine 1, the charging port 10e is automatically closed by the lid 11, and foreign material can be reduced from the charging port 10e.
Next, when the throwing chute 10 is pulled forward, the slot is rectangular and the area is basically increased, and the right side is widened in a triangular shape to further increase the throwing area, making it easy to throw medals without spilling. did.
