PRIZE DISCHARGE MECHANISM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a prize discharge mechanism capable of managing the number of residual prizes including stocks planned to be discharged not only the next time but also the time after next and after.SOLUTION: A prize discharge mechanism GP includes: a delivery disk 34 that has six passage holes CH opened respectively to such a size that each capsule 8 can pass therethrough one by one, where a connection passage hole CH1 thereof is disposed at a position corresponding to the position of an upper discharge hole 7b, and that rotates so as to deliver each capsule 8 to the upper discharge hole 7b one by one; a bottom board 35 that has a connection hole 35a opened so as to pass each capsule 8, where the connection hole is disposed between the delivery disk 34 and the upper discharge hole 7b so as to correspond to the position of the upper discharge hole 7b, and that closes the residual passage holes CH other than the connection passage hole CH1 so as to accumulate respective prizes in the respective passage holes; a restriction spring that restrict entry of the respective prizes into the connection passage hole CH1; and five capsule detection sensors DS for detecting presence/absence of each capsule 8, for the residual five passage holes CH.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】次回だけでなく次々回以降に排出予定の在庫を含む景品残数を管理することができる景品排出機構を提供する。【解決手段】景品排出機構ＧＰは、各カプセル８が一つずつ通過する大きさにそれぞれ開口する６つの通過口部ＣＨを有し、これらのうち接続通過口部ＣＨ１が上側排出口７ｂの位置に対応するように配置され、各カプセル８を一つずつ上側排出口７ｂに配送するように回転する配送円盤３４と、各カプセル８が通過するように開口する接続口部３５ａを有し、これが上側排出口７ｂの位置と対応するように配送円盤３４と上側排出口７ｂとの間に配置され、接続通過口部ＣＨ１以外の残りの通過口部ＣＨを各景品が各通過口部に留まるように塞ぐ底面盤３５と、接続通過口部ＣＨ１への各景品の侵入を制限する制限バネと、各カプセル８の有無の検出を残りの５つの通過口部ＣＨに対して実行する５つのカプセル検知センサＤＳと、を備えている。【選択図】図８
