A COIN ACCEPTANCE DEVICE, A COIN DETECTING DEVICE WITH THE COIN ACCEPTANCE DEVICE AND AN ARTICLE TAKE-OUT DEVICE WITH THE COIN DETECTING DEVICE

摘要

A coin acceptance device, a coin detecting device with the coin acceptance device, and an article take-out device with the coin detecting device are provided to prevent a vending machine from getting larger by arranging coins in two transverse rows to count the coins. A coin acceptance device includes an inlet(25), a coin passage member(14), a guide member(24), and a suspension member(50). The inlet puts a coin therein. The coin passage member is located downward in a gravity direction of the inlet to be communicated with the inlet. The coin passage member has a bottom surface(15) to support a peripheral surface of the coil accepted in the coin passage member, a first support surface(16) vertical to a main surface of the coin, and a second support surface opposite to the first support surface. The guide member is installed between the inlet and the first support surface and has a slope unit to guide the coin toward the second support surface. The suspension member suspends rolling movement of the coin in a direction parallel to the main surface.
