Abstract
A coin hopper includes a container, a base, a rotating body having separation holes for holding the coin and being disposed so as to face the base, and a control pin that is disposed in a conveyance path for the coin held by the rotating body, that comes into contact with the coin being conveyed, and that changes a moving direction of the coin. The rotating body includes a first resin rotating body, a metal rotating body, and a second resin rotating body. The metal rotating body is sandwiched between the first resin rotating body and the second resin rotating body. The first resin rotating body, the metal rotating body, and the second resin rotating body are fixed to one another.
Claims8
A coin hopper comprising:
- a base configured to support a coin;
- a rotation shaft that is rotatably inserted through a through hole provided in the base;
- and
- a rotating body that is fixed to the rotation shaft, that is disposed so as to face the base, and that is provided with a plurality of separation holes each of which is configured to hold the coin one by one,
- wherein the coin hopper is configured so that the coin entered in one of the plurality of separation holes and supported on the base is slid on the base and moved in an outer peripheral direction to be discharged by rotating the rotating body,
- wherein the rotating body includes a first resin rotating body made of resin, a metal rotating body in which pushing pieces made of metal for pushing the coin are respectively provided for the separation holes, and a second resin rotating body made of resin,
- wherein the first resin rotating body includes a first engagement portion,
- wherein the second resin rotating body includes a second engagement portion and pushing piece holes,
- wherein the pushing piece holes respectively penetrate through a front surface and a back surface of the second resin rotating body,
- wherein the first resin rotating body and the second resin rotating body are fixed to one another while sandwiching the metal rotating body between the first resin rotating body and the second resin rotating body by engaging the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion, and
- wherein the pushing pieces respectively penetrate through the pushing piece holes, are exposed from the back surface of the second resin rotating body, and are configured to push the coin on the base.
