Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coin case for a drawer which is housed in a cash drawer of a cash register and stores coins separately.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5, in a drawer D of a cash register R, coin cases 10 in which plate portions 11 to 16 for each denomination are juxtaposed in order to separately store coins according to denominations. Is installed. The coin case 10 is used for taking in and out of change coins. For this reason, it is necessary to count coins every time the person at the cashier changes and at the end of the day. As shown in FIG. 6, this coin counting is performed by arranging a plurality of inclined grooves 71 to 76 for holding a large number of coins C in a line in an upwardly inclined state for each denomination,
The coin is transferred to the coin counter 70 on which a scale indicating the number or the amount of money is marked.

[0003]

The task of transferring the coins C from the coin case 10 to the coin counter 70 and counting them many times a day is troublesome. Further, the coin counter 70 capable of counting a large number of coins C at one time has a large vertical size unless the inclination of the inclined grooves 71 to 76 is made small, and is difficult to install in the drawer D. Therefore, if the inclination of the inclined grooves 71 to 76 is made small, the coin C in the inclined grooves 71 to 76 falls due to the impact of pulling out and pushing in the drawer D, making it difficult to visually count.

The object of the present invention is that the coin can be easily accommodated in a cash register drawer, and the coin in the inclined groove can be prevented from falling down even when a shock is applied to the drawer. It is to provide a coin case for a drawer that can operate a cash register while recognizing it.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a coin case used by being housed in a drawer of a cash register, which holds a large number of coins in a sloping state and stacks them in a line, It is characterized in that a plurality of inclined grooves having descending steps are arranged in parallel.

[0006]

According to the invention described in claims 1 to 3, since the descending step is provided in the middle of the slant groove, the slant groove having the slant required to prevent the coin from tipping over by keeping the vertical dimension small. A coin case for a drawer can be formed. In the invention according to claim 4, since the inclined groove is colored differently for every 10 coins, the visibility of the number of coins is improved.

The invention according to claim 5 is characterized in that a coin stopper is provided on the descending step of the inclined groove. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent a problem that a coin on the lower step falls under the lower step due to an impact.

According to a sixth aspect of the invention, the depth of the inclined groove is less than or equal to the radius of the coin. This makes it possible to smoothly insert and withdraw the coin into and from the inclined groove, and ensure the stability of the coin in the inclined groove.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a coin case 1 for a drawer according to the present invention, which is in the shape of a rectangular container integrally molded with resin. The coin case 1 is installed and used in front of the drawer D of the cash register R. In this example,
The coin case 1 is composed of cases 2 and 3 of a similar structure which are divided into two parts on the left and right sides, so that the coin case 1 can be easily taken in and out of the drawer D. The right case 3 has a rectangular dish shape, and the bottom plate 3
0, a front edge 31, a back edge 32, and left and right side edges 33 and 34.

The bottom plate 30 has a forward slope of 15 degrees,
A horizontal descending step 4 is provided in the middle. Bottom plate 30
A plurality of partition strips 41 to 46 in the front-rear direction are provided in parallel between the front edge 31 and the back edge 32 with a predetermined width corresponding to the diameter of the coin C for each denomination. The height of the falling step 4 is substantially the same as the diameter of the coin C to be housed, and the partition 4
The height of 1 to 46 is approximately the same as the radius of the coin C to be stored.

Left and right side edges 33, 34 and partition strips 41-46
The slanted grooves 5 are formed between and. In this embodiment, the slant groove 5 is the slant groove 51, 51, 5 for a one-yen coin.
The left case 2 is provided with inclined grooves 52, 52 for 1, 5 yen coins and inclined grooves 53, 53, 53 for 10 yen coins.
Inclined grooves 54, 54 for fifty-yen coins, inclined grooves 55, 55, 55 for hundred-yen coins, and inclined grooves 56 for five hundred-yen coins,
56 is provided in the right case 3.

Inclined grooves 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 5
In No. 6, marks for the number of sheets and the amount of money are described. If the inclined grooves 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 are colored differently for every 10 coins C from the front, the number of coins C can be visually recognized more easily.

At the beginning of use, the user can use, for example, 50 coins each into one denomination, five yen coin, ten yen coin, fifty yen coin, one hundred yen coin, and five hundred yen coin, respectively. Put in the inclined grooves 51 to 56. The user puts out the coins C from the inclined grooves 51 to 56 for change or the like and sorts and stores the coins received from the customers.

According to the present invention, the number of coins and the amount of coins accommodated in the inclined grooves 51 to 56 can be visually checked at a glance. Further, since the descending step 4 is provided, the height of the coin case 1 can be reduced and the coin case 1 can be easily accommodated in the drawer D. Further, since the inclination angle of the inclined grooves 51 to 56 can be increased, it is possible to prevent the coin C from falling over in the inclined grooves 51 to 56 due to the impact applied when the drawer D is pulled out and pushed.

By setting the heights of the partition strips 41 to 46 to be substantially the same as the radius of the coin C accommodating therein, the coin C can be smoothly inserted into and taken out from the inclined grooves 51 to 56, and the inclined groove 51 can be inserted. It is possible to secure the stability of the coin C within 56. The left and right cases 2 and 3 may be integrally formed,
The number of descending stages 4 may be two or more. In addition, descending stage 4
If the descending step 4 is provided at a convenient number of positions such as 20 in front of, the visibility can be further improved and it is more convenient.

3 and 4 show second and third embodiments. In this embodiment, a coin stopper 6 is provided on the descending step 4 of the inclined groove 5. The coin stopper 6 has the protrusions 61 provided at the bottom of the inclined groove 5 shown in FIG.
It may be 2,62.
