Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2538391A1] A coin payout device is provided to prevent parts from being damaged when coin jams is resolved. A payout slide (7) that reciprocates by driving a drive motor M is provided below a coin tube (4). Coin receiving holes (7a) to (7e) are formed in the payout slide (7), one of which can receive only one coin dropping out of the coin tube (4). While the payout slide (7) reciprocates once, the coin received in one of the coin receiving hole (7a) to (7e), and the received coin is paid out. The average period of time for energizing the drive motor M, which is required to reciprocate the payout slide (7) once, is approximately 0.7 seconds. In an inventory operation, when an operator pushes a button, the drive motor M is energized for 0.4 seconds. Therefore, the amount of movement of the payout slide in the inventory operation is significantly smaller than the amount of movement in a normal payout operation.
