<p>A coin separating and transferring apparatus includes a storing container (108) for storing coins (C) in a bulk state, the storing container having a bottom part formed by an inclined rotary disk (112), the apparatus having formed therein a pusher (146) projecting from an upper surface (136) of the rotary disk (112) and having a projection amount equal to or smaller than a thickness of a thinnest coin (C) that the apparatus is to handle, the coins (C) in surface contact with a holding surface (138) formed by the pusher (146) so as to be individually pushed by the pusher (146) along a fixed radial direction guiding part (176) extending from a center part of the rotary disk (112) in a radial direction, and a rotary transferring body (224) rotating about an axial center for guiding the coins (C) from the radial direction guiding part (176) to a sensor part (222). A coin support ledge (174) is formed on an upper side of the holding surface (138) and extending in the circumferential-direction with respect to a rotation axis line (144) of the rotary disk (112). The pusher (146) is placed to project in a rib shape with respect to the holding surface (138) and has a length in a circumferential direction substantially longer than a diameter of a coin having a largest diameter (LC) and a holding edge (166) formed at a rear side of the pusher with respect to the rotating direction of the rotary disk (112), the holding edge having a predetermined radius (R3) from the rotation axis line (144) of the rotary disk (112) and having a predetermined length, and the coins (C) supported in a stationary state at a delivery position (DP) between the radial direction guiding part (176) and the holding edge (166) are started to be pushed by the rotary transferring body (224).</p> |
