COIN LOCKER DEVICE

PURPOSE: To make it possible to relock a coin locker device after turning the device to a using state without charging coins again by providing the device with a timer for counting previously set fixed time. CONSTITUTION: When coins are charged, a control means 10 moves a solenoid 40 downward so as to rotate a key to lock a coin locker and interrupt the charge of a coin. Whether the locker is locked or not is detected and judged by the opened/closed state of a microswitch 70, and when the locker is locked, a start signal for the timer 90 is outputted and the timer 90 is started after resetting it. The control means 10 monitors the counting state of the timer 90, and when the counting of the timer 90 ends and the locker is unlocked, permits the charge of a coin and disables locking. Thereby unlocking and locking can be executed without charging coins again even after drawing out the key after locking until the counting of the timer 90 ends.
