However, in the coin storage container 1 described in Patent Document 1, when the counting operation is performed with the container part 2 placed on a plane, when the coin storage part 4 is not substantially full of coins, the coin storage part 4 The coins fall down or become slanted inside, and the amount of money stored cannot be grasped instantaneously.
In this state, when it is necessary to count the coins, the coins must be re-aligned and counted sequentially from the lowest order, so the counting work is complicated.

In addition, when there is a suitable space in the coin storage unit 4, since the coin hits the wall of the coin storage unit 4 during carrying, noise was intense.
Then, this invention aims at provision of the coin storage container which can grasp | ascertain and count the amount of accommodation easily, and can reduce the sound which a coin strikes on a wall surface during conveyance.

In order to solve the above problems, containers present invention, having as having width corresponding to the coin type with a diameter which is accommodated coin accommodating section is divided into equal intervals together with a plurality of partition plates extending in the direction of the width And a lid for covering the container portion, wherein the partition plate is arranged for each length corresponding to the thickness of the coin when stacked for each unit number. The lid portion is provided with a rib having a height close to or substantially in contact with the partition plate.
In this case, the partition plate, the are arranged at intervals less than the coin diameter, the upper portion may be one which is protruded upward from the opening edge of the container part.

The coin storage container according to claim 1 corresponds to the thickness of the coin when the coin storage portion formed in a width corresponding to the diameter of the coin is stacked by a partition plate for each unit number of five, ten, etc. Therefore, by counting the number of sections filled with coins, the amount of coins stored can be estimated approximately instantaneously. Moreover, even if it is a case where the number of the coins accommodated in the coin accommodating portion is small, it is possible to prevent the coins from falling down in the coin accommodating portion.
Moreover, since the movement range of the coin can be regulated by the partition plate, it is possible to prevent the coin from moving greatly during carrying, and to reduce the sound of the coin hitting the wall.

In particular, the coin storage portion is partitioned at equal intervals by the length corresponding to the number of units by the ribs and partition plates provided on the lid, so the number of coins stored in one partition is Even when the number of units to be accommodated in a section is less than that, it can be prevented from moving to another section.
Thus, even after carrying, coins are Alignment still it is possible to maintain the state and partitioned for each unit number.
The coin storage container according to claim 2 is more effective because the partition plate is arranged at intervals less than the diameter of the coin and the upper edge portion protrudes upward from the opening edge portion of the container portion. Thus, the movement of coins can be restricted.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a coin storage container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This coin storage container 1 is used for daily accounting operations in retail business and the like, and can be rotated to a container part 2 for storing coins in a state of being classified by type and one side part 2a of the container part 2. And the lid portion 5 provided on the lid.

The container portion 2 is integrally formed with a lid portion 5 of a synthetic resin material, and the inside thereof is partitioned into a plurality of coin storage portions 4 by partition walls 3 extending in the vertical direction.
That is, a display portion 9 for displaying a trademark, a usage method of this product, and the like is provided in the rear end portion 2a located on the back side of the container portion 2, and 1 yen, 5 yen is provided in front of the display portion 9. Coin accommodating portions 4a, 4b, and 4c for accommodating coins with a small diameter such as 10 yen are provided, and coins with a large diameter such as 50 yen, 100 yen, and 500 yen are accommodated in the remaining area. Coin accommodating portions 4d, 4f, and 4e are formed.

The partition wall 3 for forming these coin accommodating portions 4 reaches the rear end portion from the front end portion on the front side of the container 2, and the upper end portion thereof is at the same height as the opening edge portion of the container 2. Has reached.
As shown in FIG. 2, the coin accommodating part 4 formed by such a partition wall 3 has a width W corresponding to the diameter of the coin accommodated in each coin accommodating part 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e. Each of the coin storage portions 4 is a space and is divided into a plurality of sections by a partition plate 10 extending in the width direction.

A plurality of partition plates 10 are arranged at equal intervals, and each section partitioned by these partition plates 10 has a length corresponding to the thickness when coins are stacked for each unit number (for example, 10 sheets). Has M.
As shown in FIG. 3, the upper edge portion of the partition plate 10 projects upward from the opening edge portion of the container portion 2, and a concave depression 12 is provided in the middle portion of the upper edge. Yes. By inserting a finger into the recess 12, the coins stored in the compartment can be easily taken out.

Two ribs 13 are provided on the plate surface of the partition plate 10. Since the rib 13 can create a gap between the coins accommodated in the partition and the partition plate 10, it can be easily picked up even when coins are jammed in the partition. I can do it.
A convex portion 14 having a height corresponding to the diameter of the coin accommodated therein is extended at the bottom of each coin accommodating portion 4 (see FIG. 4), and when the lid is closed, the lid portion 5 By holding the coin between the convex portion 15 (described later) provided on the coin, it is possible to prevent the coin from being loose when carried (see FIG. 5).

As shown in FIG. 2, a lid portion 5 is rotatably provided at the rear end portion of the container portion 2 via a hinge 16, and an opening / closing operation provided on the lid portion 5 is provided at the front end portion. A locking portion 7 is provided that is locked and fitted into the portion 6.
Next, the configuration of the lid 5 will be described.

On the inner side of the lid portion 5, a protrusion 17 is extended at a position corresponding to the partition wall 3 of the container portion 2.
As shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 17 is designed to have a height that is close to or substantially in contact with the partition wall 3 provided in the container 2 when the lid is closed. On both sides, ribs 18 are provided at positions corresponding to the partition plate 10 of the container part 2.

The rib 18 is designed to have a height close to or substantially in contact with the partition plate 10, and when the lid is closed in a state where coins are accommodated, the rib 18 and the container 2 are disposed as shown in FIG. The partition plate 10 can regulate the coin storage space.
In most of the coins on the market, the thickness of a unit number of coins convenient for counting (that is, the thickness of 5 coins and the thickness of 10 coins) is smaller than the diameter of the coins. The installation interval (that is, the length M of the receiving section 4) is also less than the coin diameter.

For this reason, even when the number of coins to be accommodated is small, it is possible to prevent the coins from falling over when the container 2 is placed horizontally or being moved while being carried and scattered to other accommodation compartments. .
An operation portion 6 for performing an opening / closing operation is provided on the front portion of the lid 5.
The operation unit 6 is integrally formed with the container 2 and the lid 5 and is rotatable with respect to the lid 5 via a thin hinge portion 6a.

The use state of the coin container 1 having the above-described configuration will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, when coins are put into the coin storage unit 4, the coins are stored in the coin storage unit 4 according to the size of the coins. At this time, in each coin storage unit 4, as shown in FIG. 8. In addition, the respective compartments are sequentially accommodated so as to become full. For sections that do not become full, the coin storage area is regulated by the ridges 17 provided inside the lid 5 and the partition wall 3 of the coin storage section 4, so that the fractional coins are positioned within the section. Be regulated.

Thus, even if the number of stored coins is small and the coin may move in the coin storage portion, the coin is locked to the partition plate 10 or the rib 18, and the coin falls down in a flat shape. Therefore, the number of coins stored in the section can be easily grasped.
When counting the total amount of money in the coin storage unit 4, the amount of storage can be calculated instantaneously by counting the number of fractional coins after counting the number of sections packed with coins.
When the coin storage container 1 is carried, the coin storage area is regulated by the ridges 17 provided inside the cover 5 and the partition wall 3 of the coin storage 4 by closing the cover. Thereby, it can prevent that a coin moves to another coin storage part during conveyance.

Moreover, since the movement range of a coin can be controlled by the partition plate 10 and the rib 18, it can prevent that a coin moves large at the time of carrying, and can reduce the sound which a coin strikes on a wall.
Even if the number of coins stored in one section is less than the number of units to be stored in the section, the coins will not move to another section due to impact during transportation. Thereby, even after carrying, the state where the coins are arranged for each type and divided for each unit number can be maintained.

In addition, in this embodiment, you may provide a scale as shown in FIG.
This scale displays a title indicating the type of coin (for example, 1 yen) at the top, and divides the title into 3 rows along the coin stacking direction. After the reference line p is opened, a scale line a having an interval corresponding to two coins and a scale line b having an interval corresponding to three coins are alternately arranged, and each scale is at its position. Corresponding amounts of money (for example, 1, 3, 6, 8, 11, 13,... N, n + 2, n + 2 + 3 when the title is 1 yen) are displayed.
In the second row in the center, after providing a reference line p ′ with an interval corresponding to two coins from the lower end, similarly, a scale line b corresponding to two coins and an interval corresponding to three coins. Are alternately arranged, and the respective amounts (2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14... N + 1, n + 1 + 2, n + 1 + 2 + 3) are displayed on the respective scales, and 3 In the column, the amount (5, 10, 15... N) corresponding to the position is displayed for each interval c corresponding to five coins from the lower end p ″ (n is a multiple of 5). ).

Thus, it is divided into three rows along the coin stacking direction, and a scale line a with an interval corresponding to two coins and a scale line b with an interval equivalent to three coins are displayed on the display portion of two rows. By arranging them alternately and calibrating the equivalent of 5 coins in the remaining one row, it becomes easy to count in units of 5 coins, 5 yen coins, 5 yen coins, 5 coin coins and 50 coins. It is also convenient for exchanging yen, five 100-yen coins and 500 yen.
The total amount of coins stored in the coin storage unit 4 can be grasped by stacking and storing coins from below and reading the display on the upper end of the stacked coins.

Moreover, in this embodiment, although the movement space of the coin was regulated by providing the protrusion 17 on the lid portion 5, the movement space of the coin was also reduced by the partition plate 10 disposed at every predetermined interval (M). Since it can regulate, the protrusion 17 does not necessarily need to be provided.
In this case, it is possible to prevent the coins from moving by bringing the upper edge of the partition plate 10 close to the lid 5. However, considering the convenience in the operation of storing coins, the height of the partition plate 10 is set to the container. It is preferable that the space formed between the lid portion 5 and the height of the portion 2 is partitioned by the protrusions 18 and the ribs 18.

  The present invention can be applied not only to a coin storage container used alone but also to a coin storage container incorporated in any storage.
