Apparatus for depositing and dispensing coin

Denominational dispensing and storing devices are arranged on three stages, and a plurality of denominational dispensing and storing devices are arranged on each stage. At least a dispensing passage is provided for each stage, the dispensing passages are stacked in an up-down direction, and a bottom plate of the dispensing passage is inclined downward toward a dispensing port side. An upward transport belt arranged and inclined upward toward the dispensing port side is arranged below a lower end of each bottom plate. A coin fed from each of the denominational dispensing and storing devices first falls onto an inclined plate from the dispensing passage, slips down, and then falls on the upward transport belt. The coin that has fallen on the upward transport belt is transported to the dispensing port by the upward transport belt moving toward the dispensing port side.

Coin receiving and dispensing device, coin lifting device, and coin lifting device of coin receiving and dispensing device

Provided are a holding body that holds a guide roller and locking position changing means for changing a locking position of the holding body with respect to a base body along a track in a circumferential direction centered on a rotation axis of a rotary disk, the locking position changing means including a first tooth row and a second tooth row, and the like that mesh with each other. In the configuration, since a feeding roller with which a coin collides is smoothly moved in a forward movement direction regardless of a distance between the feeding roller and a guide roller (regardless of a size of the coin), occurrence of the coin jam due to a movement failure of the feeding roller can be suppressed.

Disk feeding device

Provided is a coin delivery device including a disc including a concave portion that holds a plurality of coins in a storage container one by one. A first concave portion that holds at least coins having a diameter equal to or larger than a first diameter, and a second concave portion that holds coins having a diameter less than a second diameter are provided in the disc. The first concave portion does not perform holding of coins having a small diameter or delivery of the coins to the next step, and the second concave portion performs holding of coins having a small diameter or delivery of the coins to the next step. Since the first concave portion does not hold two coins, and two coins are not put into the second concave portion, coins can be appropriately sent out one by one to the next step.

Coin delivery device and coin processing device

Coin depositing and dispensing apparatus

A coin input to a deposit opening is determined a denomination by a coin identifying device, and is allocated and held in a denomination storing and dispensing device in a course of being transported to a coin transporting and distributing device. The coin of a specified denomination is sent from the denomination storing and dispensing device based on a pay-out command, and paid out to a pay-out opening by a pay out transporting device. When the holding amount of the denomination storing and dispensing device becomes full, the coin is not allocated to the denomination storing and dispensing device by the coin transporting and distributing device, but is dropped to an overflow coin slot, guided to an overflow coin guiding tube juxtaposed to the denomination storing and dispensing device and held in an overflow coin storing unit arranged on the lower side of the denomination storing and dispensing device.

Coin recycle device

A coin processing apparatus eliminates quickly and surely a coin congestion in the cases where (a) a Tawara state and/or a Keirin phenomenon of coins is/are generated on a conveying surface, (b) additional coins are overlapped or stacked on existing coins having a Tawara state or a Keirin phenomenon, and (c) additional coins are placed on the conveying surface on the upstream side of the existing coins. A conveying belt has a protrusion on its conveying surface. A reversing roller is provided opposite to the conveying surface. Screw-like members with spiral projections on their outer surfaces are respectively provided at two sides of the conveying surface. Coins placed on the conveying surface in their standing state are moved backward due to engagement with the screw-like members to topple down naturally toward the conveying surface during conveyance and then, moved forward due to engagement with the protrusion.

Coin processing apparatus and coin depositing/dispensing machine

A coin dispensing apparatus capable of dispensing coins of a plurality of denominations quickly and capable of being fabricated at a low cost is provided. A plurality of coin dispensing units each including a rotary disk having apertures for receiving coins supplied from a coin source are used in combination. Coins received in the apertures are moved along a carrying path. The coins are moved through a dispensing opening from the carrying path toward a coin outlet. A common driving device commonly rotates the disks of the units. A transmission device transmits a driving force of the driving device to the disks. A passage blocking member is formed in a dispensing opening and is selectively positioned at the non-blocking position or the blocking position while simultaneously rotating the disks of the coin dispensing units, thereby dispensing the coins using rotation of the disks based on a dispensing instruction.

Coin dispensing apparatus

A coin dispensing apparatus prevents excessive dispensing of coins without abruptly stopping a rotary disk. A movable guide member is provided in a carrying path of coins to be selectively located at a guiding position where the coins are guided toward a dispensing opening or a non-guiding position where the coins are not guided toward the dispensing opening. A movable stopper is provided in a dispensing passage communicating with the carrying path to be selectively located at a blocking position where the coins are blocked or a non-blocking position where the coins are not blocked to pass through the dispensing passage. During a dispensing operation, the guide member is located at the guiding position and the stopper is located at the non-blocking position. During a non-dispensing operation, the guide member is located at the non-guiding position and the stopper is located at the blocking position.

Coin inserting and receiving machine

An article conveyer belt assembly used for example, in a coin sorting device for positively pushing an article, such as a coin along a support surface is provided. A toothed belt has teeth for transmission of power by mounting a plurality of pushers on the belt with a connector removably mounted with a connecting body, a first holder and a second holder spaced a distance from each other to hold onto the conveyor belt. One of the first and second holders has a hook member to close a spaced opening at one end. The first and second holders are cantilevered to be mounted on a conveyor belt. At the other end of the connector body a pusher unit has a first shaft part and a second shaft part cantilevered from the connector body, with a hollow roller snap fitted on the first shaft part and the second shaft part.
