CLEANING TOKEN AND CLEANING METHOD IN TOKEN TRANSPORTATION PASSAGE IN TOKEN GAME MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent clogging due to a cleaning token concerning the cleaning token where cleaning means capable of cleaning the inside of a token transportation passage by passing the passage in a token game machine are arranged on the front surfaces of the token itself.;SOLUTION: Cleaning means 30 of a cleaning token 21 are arranged on both of main surfaces 23 on the front surfaces of a token body 20. The metallic surface of the token body 20 is exposed on an outer peripheral surface 25. Even when an outer peripheral surface 15 of a normal token 10 and the outer peripheral surface 25 of the cleaning token 21 squeeze together in a point contact state at an upward curved portion 131c of the passage so as to allow the corner of the normal token 10 to be abutted to the outer peripheral surface 25 of the cleaning token 21, the cleaning means such as a fiber layer as in a conventional manner is not arranged on the outer peripheral surface 25. Consequently, engagement as in a conventional manner is eliminated. Thus, clogging is prevented by eliminating the occurrence of locking inside the passage due to the bending of both of the tokens with the engagement as a fulcrum.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT
