Lending device

Abstract

The invention aims to realize the following three goals: (1) loanable token money is divided into specified amount and then is discharged; (2) the loanable token money is discharged in batch to containers of a specified number; (3) a great amount of loanable token money, which is divided into specified amount and then is discharged, is prevented from spilling over the containers. A token money lent-out device comprises a discharging amount set unit, a token money discharging unit, a discharging amount detection unit, a stop unit, a container supply unit, an empty status detection unit, a notification unit, a container detection unit and a residual amount discharging unit, wherein the discharging amount set unit outputs batch discharged token money amount according to specified conditions;the token money discharging unit discharges token money according to a discharging signal; the discharging amount detection unit detects the token money amount discharged from the token money discharging unit; the stop unit stops the token money discharging unit according to the discharging amount set by the discharging amount set unit and the detection amount of the discharging amount detection unit; the container supply unit supplies containers storing token money for a discharging part one by one before the token money discharging unit discharges token money; the empty status detection unitdetects the empty status of the containers stored in the container supply unit; the notification unit urges to supply the discharging part with the containers according to the empty status detectionof the empty status detection unit; the container detection unit detects the existence of the containers inside the discharging part; the residual amount discharging unit actuates the token money discharging unit according to the signal indicating the existence of the containers and sent by the container detection unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a token lending device that lends a predetermined number of tokens in batches to an automatically supplied container based on received value information. [0002] In particular, it relates to a token lending device capable of lending tokens even when there is no automatic replenishment container. [0003] In addition, the "token" used in this specification is a generic term for game media such as medals, tokens, and tokens for game machines. [0004] Next, the token lending device of the game machine will be described as an example. Background technique [0005] There is known a lending device that automatically supplies a token storage container to a dispensing unit, and automatically dispenses a predetermined number of tokens corresponding to an input amount into the container (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0006] In the existing situation, the commonly used container of tokens can be filled with about...
