1,133,700. Shoots; coin-packaging machines. I. UCHIDA. 13 April, 1967 [3 Nov., 1966], No. 17108/67. Headings B8C and B8S. [Also in Division G4] Coin-counting apparatus can deliver coins into a first position 52 where a batch of coins is wrapped or a second position where they are delivered to a bag 80, Fig. 8. Assorted coins in a hopper 1 are moved by centrifugal action to the periphery, small coins discharging through a gap between 1 and 3, Fig. 2. Coins 2 of the prescribed size are advanced by a continuously driven rubber roller 13 so as to engage in recesses 4a, so driving wheels 4, 6, 7 to advance counter 9. The wheel 4 is on a shaft with a gear 10, Fig. 5, so controlled by a one-rotation device, comprising gear 12, slot 17 and a lever (19) (Fig. 7), that after fifty coins have been delivered a switch opens and the drive stops. For such an operation the delivery shoot is as shown in full lines in Fig. 8 and the coins fall into a cylinder 52. The coins are then wrapped in known manner. An electromagnet restores the lever (19) so that another operation can ensue. To deliver more than fifty coins a knob (37) is turned to adjust a gear 30, Fig. 5. At the same time a lock 59, 60 is released and a lever 68 is rocked to bring the shoot 55 into an inclined position, whereby coins are fed into a bag 80. A slide 22 prevents the end of lever (19) engaging slot 17 so that gear 12 is permitted to make more than one revolution, transfer to gear 30 being effected by pin 32. If the coins are not to be batched but merely counted, gear 30 is turned so that gap 30a lies in the path of pin 32. |
