When the coin is pressed and activated by the falling coin, it turns on a contact type switch, which functions as a timer. At the same time, a coin blocking arm is positioned above the coin detection arm and enters the coin falling path to restrict the falling of subsequent coins. Then, the motor is switched on by the first coin, and the motor starts driving. After a certain period of time, by the action of the cam and link system that rotate integrally with the motor, it first activates the coin blocking arm and releases the next coin. This coin activates the coin detection arm again, the cam continues to rotate integrally with the motor, and the timer further extends the on-operation time by a certain amount of time.

で停止する。 When the first coin M is inserted into the coin timer 1 shown in FIG. 1, the coin M first falls down the coin falling path 40 under its own weight, pushes down the coin receiving piece 41 at the coin receiving position B, and enters the coin storage device (not shown). reach As a result, the lever rod 37 with claws rotates around the support shaft 36, and returns to the original coin receiving position B again by the tension spring 42. This lever rod with claw 37
Due to the lever operation, the feed adjustment rod 23 moves by one pitch P.
281 of the feed detection member is rotated counterclockwise to separate from the second movable contact piece 3. As a result, the contact point 9 is caused by the tension spring 11,
Coin timer 1 is pressed into contact 8 on the first movable contact piece.
is turned on, and a coin timer device (not shown) starts operating. Furthermore, the motor 9 starts to drive due to contact between both contacts 8 and 9, and the return cam 16 and the feed gear 24
starts rotating at the same angular velocity. At this time, the sliding contact piece 251 of the return lever rod 25 reaches the flat surface 162 via the slope 164 from the bottom 163 of the return cam.
The return member 12 that follows this starts to rotate from the position before being pushed back, and rotates counterclockwise against the elastic force of the tension spring 15, so that the return member 121 moves between the first movable contact piece 3 and the first movable contact piece. Push up piece 2 from the lower position at the same time. And the flat surface 162 and the sliding contact piece 2
51, both contacts 8 and 9 of both movable contact pieces 2 and 3 are supported while being in contact with each other. On the other hand, the feed adjustment rod 23 rotates with its spiral crest 35 in contact with the feed pawl 38, and is gradually pressed and moved to the left against the elastic force of the compression spring 34. Therefore, the feed detection member 28 in contact with the right end surface 233 gradually rotates clockwise, and eventually the protruding piece 281 returns to the position where it locks the second movable contact piece 3. Thereafter, the return cam 16 continues to rotate and completes one rotation when the sliding contact piece 251 is dropped onto the bottom 163 of the return cam 16. At this time, the return member 12 reverses clockwise, and the first movable contact piece 2 is also pulled down by the tension spring 10. Since the second movable contact piece 3 is locked to the projecting piece 281, both contacts 8 and 9 break contact, the coin timer 1 is turned off, and the device equipped with the coin timer (not shown) is stopped. . At the same time motor 1
9 stops, the return cam 16 and the feed adjustment rod 23 complete one rotation and stop after returning to their original positions.

けのオン作動を完了してオフ作動を行なう。 Next, a case will be explained in which five coins M are continuously inserted. First, the first coin M moves the feed adjustment rod 23 to the right from its original position by one pitch P, and both contacts 8 and 9 come into contact, turning on the coin timer 13. Next, when the second to fifth coins M are inserted, the coin receiving piece 41 that has entered the coin falling path 40 operates as a lever around the support shaft 36 each time, and moves the feed adjustment rod 23 by one pitch.
Move it to the right side. In this case, the feed adjustment rod 23 has moved to the right by 5 pitches due to the insertion of 5 coins, and the feed gear 2 has also moved to the right by 5 pitches while being engaged with the second reduction gear 22.
Rotates with 4. Each time the feed adjustment rod 23 completes one rotation, the return cam 16 also rotates once, and the return member 12 also moves from the pre-push-back position and performs one reciprocating angular movement back to the pre-push-back position. Move 3 up and down. During this time, the feed detection member 2
8 is held while being rotated counterclockwise around the support shaft 29, and even if both movable contact pieces 2 and 3 repeatedly move up and down, the protruding piece 281 will not lock the second movable contact piece 3. Therefore, the feed adjustment rod 23 completes four rotations, and the feed detection member 28 is rotated clockwise at the fifth rotation. Then, the protruding piece 281 operates to lock the second movable contact piece 3, and then both contacts 8 and 9 separate, and the coin timer 1 completes the on operation for the time equivalent to 5 coins and turns off. Perform the operation.

きる。 The coin timer 1 shown in FIG. 1 counts coins M using a lever rod 37 with a claw and a feed adjustment rod 23 having a spiral ridge 35. That is, the coin falling path 40 merely acts to cause the coin M to fall and come into contact with the coin receiving piece 41.
There is no need to accumulate coins like with conventional devices,
There is an advantage that the coin falling path 40 may be short. Spiral mountain 3 of coin timer 1 shown in Figure 1
5 was formed to count a maximum of five coins, but by increasing the number of turns of this spiral ridge 35, it is possible to support the continuous insertion of several dozen coins. Furthermore, even if coins are added during the operation of the coin timer 1, this additional number of coins is counted in the same manner as described above due to the cooperative action of the claw lever rod 37 and the feed adjustment rod 23, and the number of coins corresponding to this number of coins is counted. You can add on operation for just a few hours.

Although the cam surface is formed in a direction perpendicular to the central axis 161, a cam having a cam surface formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cam may be used instead. Further return cam 16
The return member 12 is a return lever rod 25 and a driven rod 27.
Although the connection is made using a return link 17 consisting of the following, a wire sliding inside a flexible pipe may be used instead of this driven rod 27 for connection. Furthermore, the feed adjustment rod 23 was biased to slide to the right by a compression spring 34, but instead of this, a fifth
As shown in the figure, the right side surface 233 is formed with a brim-like plate 234, and a connecting hole 46 is formed in a hook portion 235 on the tip side.
A ball 4 is loosely fitted into this connecting hole 46 and a ball 4 is formed at the tip.
It is also possible to attach a tension spring 48 connected to the feed adjustment rod 23 to pull the feed adjustment rod 23 to the right. In this case, there is an advantage that the thrust bearing 33 is not required.
