Abstract
Discrimination between two coin-denomination (Xp, Yp)
of equal diameter but different thicknesses, is made in a
coin-sorter by sweeping the coins round an
annular plate (10) in abutment with the inner edge (13) of an
upstanding rim (11) which in the region of a sizing aperture
(143) for receiving the thinner denomination (Xp) is undercut
to admit coins of that denomination, but not of the other,
thicker denomination (Yp), into abutment with an outer
auxiliary edge (17) such that only coins of the thinner
denomination (Xp) will be accepted within the diametral
threshold set for that aperture (143) from the auxiliary edge
(17). The thicker coins (Yp), because they abut the undercut
edge (13), lie outside this threshold but are accepted within
the same threshold set from that edge (13) at the next
aperture (144). In another sorter coins are
tipped from an inclined and slotted shoulder (30) by
deflectors (35 to 37) depending upon diametral thresholds
set from the top (38) of the shoulder (30) or the bottom (40) of
the slot (39) according to coin thickness, whereas in other
apparatus discrimination is made photoelectroni
cally in response to coins which run along different rails (60,
61) according to their thicknesses (or other characteristics).
