Description

  The present invention relates to a medal stacker that stacks medals on a floor such as a table of a medal dropping game machine.

  In a medal dropping game machine (see, for example, Patent Document 1) or the like, medals may be stacked and displayed on a horizontal floor such as a table to increase the appearance and the fun of the game. In many cases, the medals are arranged in a circular or arcuate shape in the horizontal plane, and the medals are usually stacked with the lower medals shifted in the arrangement direction. The number of medals stacked in one array may be over 100, and in the past, medals were stacked by hand one by one, so there was a problem that it took a very long time to stack medals. It was. In addition, repeated monotonous work often frustrated the nerves, strained and paralyzed the muscles of the hand, making the hand unstable and often destroying medals that had been built up halfway.

  In response to such a problem, the present inventor attaches a medal set plate to a shaft member standing on the floor on which medals are stacked so that the medal set plate can move up and down and rotate in a horizontal plane. A plurality of set holes for inserting and setting medals in a horizontal plane are arranged in the rotational movement direction of the medal set plate, and medals set in these set holes are stacked on the lower side on the horizontal plane. And a medal stacker that has been shifted in the rotational movement direction of the medal set plate has been proposed (see Patent Document 2).
