Coin sorter allowing presetting of dia. and thickness - using single control knob to select type of coin to be detected

摘要

A coin-processing device for sorting and processing various sized coins, has a diameter-presetting member and a thickness-presetting member is respectively defining the maximum width and height of a coil passageway, which are actuated and preset simultaneously and adjustable by a control mechanism operated manually through a single control knob to classify each kind of coin to be processed. Coins are driven along the passageway by an endless belt, which is movably supported so as to adapt itself to the thickness of each kind of coin, and can be adjusted at its height in response to adjustment of the control mechanism. Presetting of the diameter-manipulation member simultaneously actuates plates defining a coin entrance to the passageway, thereby to preset the shape and size of the entrance to suit each kind of coin.
