Abstract
An improved coin stacking apparatus serving as a preliminary means for a coin packing machine or the like is disclosed, wherein the improvement consists in that a predetermined number of coins are stacked in a stacking space as defined by a pair of endless belts located opposite to each other with the aid of coin supports fixedly secured to the inner portions of the endless belts. The coins to be stacked are delivered into the stacking space by way of a coin passage using a conveyor endless belt. Coin stacking is effected by way of the steps of receiving a coin on the coin supports as if it rides thereon, lowering them stepwise by a distance equivalent to the thickness of a single coin and repeating the above two steps until the predetermined number of coins are stacked one above another. A control system is provided for the apparatus and it is operated so as to control a driving mechanism for the pair of endless belts in response to a signal transmitted from a coin detecting device while a predetermined height difference is always kept between the working surface of the coin passage and the upper face of the stacked structure of coins.
