Abstract
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.
