Coin handling machine

摘要

A coin sorting machine in which coins are fed onto the center of a rotating disc having a flexible surface. An annular guide plate is positioned over the disc, being open in the center for receiving coins, and extending outward to the peripheral edge of the disc. The underside of the guide plate is formed with a peripheral stop extending around approximately half of the disc, and a series of discrete radiused guides extend over portions of the other half of the disc. The first of the series of guides would have an outer edge differing in radius from the peripheral stop by the diameter of the smallest coin to be sorted, and each succeeding guide would have a progressively smaller radiused outside edge defined by the difference between coins to be sorted by succeeding guides.
