A coin wrapping apparatus including a coin support member moving mechanism for moving a coin support member adapted to support coins stacked, a wrapping roller moving mechanism for moving a plurality of wrapping rollers adapted to wind a wrapping film around the stacked coins supported by the coin support member and a crimp claw moving mechanism for moving a pair of crimp claws adapted to crimp upper and lower end portions of the wrapping film wound around the stacked coins by the wrapping rollers and produce a wrapped coin roll having a predetermined number of coins, the coin support member moving mechanism including a first coin support moving member for moving the coin support member vertically, a second coin support moving member for moving the coin support member horizontally, the first and second coin support moving members being selectively actuated, the crimp claw moving mechanism including a first crimp claw moving member for moving the pair of crimp claws vertically, a second crimp claw moving member for moving the pair of crimp claws horizontally, the first and second crimp claw moving members being selectively actuated, the wrapping roller moving mechanism including a rotatable shaft formed with an external thread and a wrapping roller spacing adjusting member having a bore whose inner surface is formed with an internal thread which can engage with the external thread on the rotatable shaft for moving the wrapping roller spacing adjusting member along the rotatable shaft as the rotatable shaft rotates and links for moving the plurality of wrapping rollers in accordance with the movement of the wrapping roller spacing adjusting member along the rotatable shaft. The thus constituted coin wrapping apparatus can be made compact and can wrap a predetermined number of coins in a desired manner with a mechanism of simple structure.

Coin wrapping apparatus

A currency sorting apparatus including a detector provided in a currency passage for detecting information necessary for discriminating the genuineness and the denominations of pieces of currency and outputting detection signals, a plurality of currency accommodating boxes provided downstream of the detector, the number of which is greater than the number of denominations of the pieces of currency to be sorted, each of the currency accommodating boxes being adapted for accommodating genuine pieces of currency in accordance with their denominations, a controller adapted for selectively feeding pieces of currency into the currency accommodating boxes in accordance with the detection signals input from the detector and a sorting mode selector for selecting a sorting mode which determines what currency accommodating boxes accommodates what denomination of pieces of currency and outputs a corresponding sorting mode signal when the sorting mode is selected.

Currency sorting apparatus

A foreign substance disposing device for a money receiving and disbursing machine comprising stationary clip plates for clipping the bills therebetween, movable clip plate for clipping the bills, pick out rollers for picking out the bills which are clipped between the stationary and movable clip plates, a pick out motor for controlling an operation of the pick out rollers, a detection coil provided on a circuit board for producing a change in impedance in response to passing of the bills, impedance detector for detecting the change in the impedance of the coil, controller for judging whether or not the bills passing the coil are accompanied by a foreign substance based on signals from the impedance detector and for providing the pick out rollers with a control signal for preventing the pick out rollers from picking the bills out when a foreign substance is detected, and alarm for receiving signals from the controller and producing an alarm signal.

Bill disbursing system

A coin stacking apparatus includes a conveyor for conveying coins edge-wise one at a time and delivering each of the conveyed coins in its horizontal position. A receiver receives the coins from the outlet end of the conveyor in a stacked condition. The receiver includes two endless belts running along the length of the receiver and cooperating with each other to form a coin receiving space therebetween. Each of the endless belts has a supporter extending therefrom. The supporter includes a surface on which the coins are to be placed. The surface is inclined upwardly and forwardly relative to the direction of the conveyor.

Coin conveying and stacking apparatus

There is provided an apparatus for arranging the obverse and reverse sides of bills. The apparatus comprises a carrying-in passage, a rear conveying passage, a front conveying passage, and an accumulating wheel. The rear conveying passage and front conveying passage are divided from the carrying-in passage, and respectively lead to the accumulating wheel. The front conveying passage includes an inverting/conveying passage for inverting the leading end of the bill. Consequently the bills are accumulated in a box through the accumulating wheel so with their obverse sides or reverse sides up.
