Abstract

A coin dispensing and storing device includes a body, coin collecting tubes, a left rotatable support, a pivotal plate and a right rotatable support. Coins are received in the coin collecting tubes. The left rotatable support is pivotally connected to one side of the body. The left rotatable support allows a portion of the coin collecting tubes to be disposed therein. The pivotal plate is pivotally connected to the other side of the body. The right rotatable support is connected to the pivotal plate. The right rotatable support allows the remaining portion of the coin collecting tubes to be disposed therein. The left and the right rotatable supports can be pivotally received in or rotated to the outside of the body. With this arrangement, the operation is labor-saving. Further, the force exerting on the respective rotatable supports can be distributed efficiently to reduce the generation of damage and deformation.

Dependent claims

A coin dispensing and storing device, comprising:

a coin distributing body (10);
a plurality of coin collecting tubes (20) for allowing coins to be received therein;
a first rotatable support (30) pivotally connected to one side of the coin distributing body (10), a portion of the coin collecting tubes (20) being disposed in the first rotatable support (30);
a pivotal plate (40) pivotally connected to the other side of the coin distributing body (10);
and
a second rotatable support (50) connected to the pivotal plate (40), the remaining portion of the coin collecting tubes (20) being received in the second rotatable support (50);
a lifting means (60) mounted in the bottom of the coin distributing body (10) and disposed to correspond to the first rotatable support (30) for lifting the first rotatable support (30),
wherein the first rotatable support (30) and the second rotatable support (50) are pivotally received in the coin distributing body (10) or rotated to the outside of the coin distributing body (10), and
when the pivotal plate (40) causes the second rotatable support (50) to be received in the coin distributing body (10), the second rotatable support (50) can rotate with respect to the pivotal plate (40) to form a substantially right angle therebetween, so that the second rotatable support (50) can abut a rear portion of an inner wall of the coin distributing body (10).
