TOKEN FEED APPARATUS OF SLOT MACHINE

摘要

A token feed apparatus is attached to a token discharge port formed on a rear surface of a front door on the main body of a slot machine. The token feed apparatus has a bottom plate extending downwardly toward a token collection bucket and a side plate projecting upwardly from one side of the bottom plate. A token discharged from the token discharge port rolls down the token feed apparatus and is projected to the inner side of the token collection bucket due to the momentum of its rolling motion. The bucket thus fills from rear to front; and an overflow chute at the front of the bucket feeds overflowing tokens to an overflow bucket. A sufficient supply of tokens is thus maintained for the feed of a pay-out device beneath the bucket, at the same time that uncontrolled overflow of coins into the interior of the machine is avoided.
