  • Coin delivering device
    Patent number: 10096191
    Abstract: A first payout slide delivers a coin at a bottom in a coin tube, and a second payout slide delivers at least one coin located on the coin at the bottom in the coin tube. A selection mechanism including a change lever, solenoid, etc. performs a selection such that the first payout slide is activated alone or the first and second payout slides are activated together. A single coin is delivered through the first payout slide having been activated alone, whereas at least two coins are delivered through the first and second payout slides having been activated together. The coin delivering device may further be provided with a change slide that selectively regulates the delivery of the coin from the corresponding coin tube so that the delivery of the coin is not to be carried out regardless of an activation of the first payout slide.
