Abstract (en)
Problem An object of the present invention is to provide a coin payment apparatus that enables coins, which are delivered from coin dispensers, to be quickly brought into surface contact with a carrying belt and be quickly dispensed to a coin receiving opening. [Solving Means] A coin delivered from a coin dispenser is moved to tapered convergence space, which is formed by an adjacent elastic partition wall and an inclined elastic partition wall. The kinetic energy of the delivered coin is absorbed when the delivered coin collides with any of elastic members, which constitute the adjacent elastic partition wall and the inclined elastic partition wall. If the coin is rebounded by unabsorbed kinetic energy, the coin immediately collides with the facing adjacent elastic partition wall or inclined elastic partition wall, the kinetic energy is completely eliminated, the coin is dropped onto a carrying belt therebelow, and the coin is quickly dispensed to a coin receiving opening by the carrying belt.
