A device for sorting coins of a set of coins with a coin feed device , with a coin sorting plate joining the coin feed device , which has a guide edge , a guide strip extending along the guide edge as well as a series of sorting openings graduated for different coin diameters with cross sections increasing in the direction of conveying. The sorting plate is designed as an interchangeable sorting plate

Device for sorting coins

A machine for the sorting of coins and the placement of the coins into coin wrapper sleeves, containers or bags according to their type. A coin feed device in the form of a rotating table ( ) feeds coins to a sorting plate ( ) having a plurality of sorting openings ( ), wherein each sorting opening corresponds to a particular denomination or size of a coin or disk. Each sorting opening ( ) feeds into a corresponding coin outlet channel ( &prime;) which conducts coins passing through the sorting opening ( ) to a corresponding sleeve container ( ). Each corresponding sleeve container ( ) is connected to the corresponding outlet channel part ( &prime;) by means of a bayonet-type connector. Each sleeve container ( ) has a carrying bracket ( ) to support a coin wrapper sleeve ( ) while it is being filled with coins. A removal opening ( ) is used to remove the coin wrapper sleeve ( ) from the sleeve container ( ) when it is full by swinging the carrying bracket ( ) to the side releasing the coin wrapper sleeve ( ). A sleeve receiving opening ( ) above each sleeve container ( ) is provided for insertion of coin wrapper sleeves into the sleeve containers ( ). A lid ( ) covers the sleeve receiving openings ( ).

A device for conveying separate objects ( ), especially disk-shaped objects such as coins is provided with a guideway ( ) and with a conveyor ( ) running on a conveying arm ( ) at a distance from the guideway ( ). The distance (d) between a strand ( ) of the transport belt ( ) facing the guideway and the guideway ( ) is smaller than the smallest height of an object ( ) above the guideway ( ). The objects ( ) can be grasped by the strand ( ) of the conveyor ( ) facing the guideway ( ) and can be conveyed on the guideway ( ) and wherein the static friction and/or sliding friction forces between the objects ( ) and he conveyor ( ) are greater than the static friction and/or sliding friction forces between the objects ( ) and the guideway ( ). The conveyor ( ) is a lamella belt ( ) and the strand ( ) of the lamella belt ( ) facing the guideway ( ) is guided over the entire longitudinal extension of the conveying arm ( ). The distance (d&prime;) between lamella tips ( ) pointing toward the guideway ( ) and the guideway ( ) is smaller than the smallest height of an object ( ) above the guideway ( ).

Voucher terminal

A cash register terminal and process for operating a cash register terminal especially for self-service in gaming casinos, with bill-accepting and coin-deposition as well as coin-dispensing structure and with at least one coin box. To design the cash register terminal for high speed of operation and a large storage capacity for coins, the coins (17) are conveyed upward from the bottom from the coin box (2), of which there is at least one, and the coins (17) are dispensed above the at least one coin box (2), to at least one outlet (19, 20, 21).

Cash register terminal

A process for emptying the tray space of flat-running coin-counting and coin-sorting machines with a coin support with coin tray. The process includes the automatic emptying and simple cleaning of the tray space and the elimination of disturbances caused by, e.g., jamming in the area of the coin intake. This occurs without opening the coin transport device, the height limitation device or the like, and which guarantees a high level of safety against unauthorized access to the tray space. The coin support is opened in the downward direction.

Perforating machine

A perforating device for the representation of letters and numbers with adjustable perforating gearwork and with a drive for the perforating gears for rapid shifting of letters and numbers and to a process for setting perforating devices. The perforating device provides for the representation of letters and numbers. The device is constructed compactly and assures a simple manipulation and an exact setting of the letters and numbers, as well as an uncomplicated electronic control. Drives for perforating gears are arranged in recesses arranged on the periphery of perforating gear uptake.

Perforating device and process for setting perforating devices

A device for counting coins of different diameters and similar disk-shaped objects which are conveyed in irregular sequence. The edges of the coins contact a guide edge on a guide track which has a scanning head located therein for identifying the coins. An electronic evaluation and display unit receives the identification signals delivered by the scanning head. The scanning head has several electronic proximity sensors located at different distances from the guide edge. The paths of motion of the edges of coins away from the guide edge, run in the active areas of the proximity sensors which provide substantially clear identification signals distinguishing the coins to be identified. The diameter of the proximity sensors is approximately half the diameter of the smallest coin to be identified, and the several proximity sensors are located at different distances from the guide edge. These distances are determined by the paths of motion of different coins. The sensors, furthermore, may be staggered along a line perpendicular to the guide edge. The electronic proximity sensors, moreover, may be located one behind another in the direction of motion of the coins.
