Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de paiement automatique comprenant un séparateur (1) ayant un disque (2) qui est muni d'alvéoles (3) pour recevoir des pièces et qui est mobile en rotation pour faire défiler les pièces dans le champ d'action d'un détecteur (31) puis en regard d'au moins une ouverture de passage vers un présentoir (33) qui comporte des cloisonnements (68, 69) pour définir plusieurs régions (54a, 54b, 54c) de présentation des pièces, et des moyens d'entraínement (81, 77) des cloisonnements (68, 69) pour faire passer cycliquement ces régions par une position de réception des pièces en provenance du séparateur (1) et une position de transmission des pièces à un poste suivant, dans lequel le présentoir est un présentoir annulaire disposé autour du disque (2), les moyens d'entraínement provoquant le déplacement cyclique des régions de présentation (54a, 54b, 54c) autour du disque (2).

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to an automatic payment device comprising a separator (1) having a disc (2) which is provided with cells (3) for receiving coins and which is movable in rotation to scroll the coins in the field of action of a detector (31) then opposite at least one passage opening towards a display (33) which comprises partitions (68, 69) to define several regions (54a, 54b, 54c) for presenting the parts, and drive means (81, 77) of the partitions (68, 69) for passing these regions cyclically through a position for receiving the pieces from the separator (1) and a position for transmitting the pieces to a next station, wherein the display is an annular display disposed around the disc (2), the drive means causing the cyclic movement of the presentation regions (54a, 54b, 54c) around the disc (2).
