COIN ASSORTING DEVICE

摘要

Coin assorting device comprising a disc (12) mounted for rotation on a bottom plate (10) to pass below a coin supply tube (19). The rotatable disc includes two pairs of recesses (16) for receiving a coin in each recess, said bottom plate having a discharge opening (20) for coins the diameter of which is less than a predetermined maximum diameter of the coin supplied. Said discharge opening (20) extends beneath the mouth of said coin supply tube (19) and is shaped with an upper chamfered edge (24). Opposite sides of the wings (14) of the rotatable disc (12) are shaped in the form of blunt edges having a thickness which substantially corresponds to the thickness of the thinnest occurring coin. Means are further associated with the rotatable disc (12) for reversing the rotational movement of said disc over a portion of a revolution when a stop has occurred and then automatically switching over for driving in the normal rotational direction.
