Abstract:
A coin game machine island and a coin treating device for use with said coin game machine island wherein coins as game media can be washed inside said island, whereby no coin washing equipment needs to be provided outside said island, thereby making it possible not only to restrict the increase in space but also reduce the costs. A coin circulating path (1) is constituted by a distribution conveyor (30) extending at the upper portion of said island, overflow passageways (40, 41, 42) extending downwardly from the outlet end of said distribution conveyor (30) and respective coin game machines (11), a recovering conveyor (43) extending at the lower portion of said island for connecting said respective overflow passageways (40, 41, 42), a coin tank (44) placed at the outlet end of said recovering conveyor (43) and a lifter device (45) lifting coins inside said tank (44) to the inlet end of said distribution conveyor (30). A coin treating device (50) is provided along the length of said coin circulating path (1). A coin supply machine (51) feeds out coins received therein at a certain pitch, and coins are conveyed to processes down stream said coin supply machine (51) by means of a conveyor mechanism (60). Dirty matters on coins being carried over said conveyor mechanism (60) are washed off with water by a coin washing machine (70), afterwards water on washed coins is removed by means of a dehydrator (80), and finally moisture on dehydrated coins is removed by means of a dryer (90).
