<p>[Objective] A first object of the present invention is to provide a coin hopper which is a small coin hopper capable of dispensing all coins including the last one without generating coin bridging, a second obj ect is to provide a coin hopper preventing occurrence of coin jamming, and a third object is to provide a coin hopper at low cost, the coin hopper capable of dispensing all coins including the last one without causing coin jamming. [Means for Solution] A circular-plate-shaped rotating disk which dispenses coins is provided with an elliptical lower step part and a crescent-shaped upper step part disposed at an eccentric position, and a through hole having a diameter approximately half the diameter of the rotating disk is formed at an eccentric position of the lower step part. A first end part of an inward arc edge of the upper step part forms a tangent line with respect to the through hole. The coin standing on the lower step part of the rotating disk is flipped so that the lower part thereof is overthrown by the arc edge moved by the rotation of the rotating disk, and the coin falls down and drops to the through hole. The coin fell on the lower step part is caught by the arc edge; and, when the arc edge is inclined by a predetermined angle, the coin rolls on the arc edge and drops to the through hole.</p> |
