Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Münzenrollen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for producing coin rolls according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Vorrichtung dieser Art ist aus der DE 19 46 278 vorbekannt. Bei dieser werden die flachliegenden Münzen über eine Münzenrutsche mehreren Kanälen zugeführt, welche in Kippzonen enden. In diesen wird den Münzen einseitig der Kanalboden entzogen, so daß die Münzen nach einer Seite abkippen und in eine Hochkantlage geraten. Hierbei befinden sich die Münzen in Förderbahnen, in denen sie hochkant stehend bis zu einer Sammelstation weitergefördert werden, in der die Münzen zu einem Münzenstapel zusammengefaßt werden. Dieser Münzenstapel wird anschließend in der Wickelstation zur Münzenrolle in eine Folie eingewickelt. Die bekannte Vorrichtung hat den Nachteil, daß die Münzen nur mit relativ geringer Geschwindigkeit zugeführt und zu Münzenstapeln zwecks Verpackung in Münzrollen zusammen­ gestellt werden können. Darüber hinaus benötigt die bekannte Vorrichtung ein erhebliches Bauvolumen, so daß diese nicht als Tischgerät eingesetzt werden kann.A device of this type is previously known from DE 19 46 278. In this case, the flat-lying coins are fed via a coin slide to several channels, which end in tilting zones. In these, the channel base is withdrawn from the coins on one side, so that the coins tip over to one side and end up in an upright position. The coins are located in conveyor tracks, in which they are conveyed upright to a collecting station, in which the coins are combined to form a stack of coins. This stack of coins is then wrapped in a foil in the winding station for the roll of coins. The known device has the disadvantage that the coins are fed in only at a relatively slow speed and put together to form stacks of coins for packaging in coin rolls can be put. In addition, the known device requires a considerable amount of space, so that it cannot be used as a table device.

Der Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß bei geringem Bauvolumen eine hohe Stückzahl an Münzen pro Zeiteinheit zu Münzenstapeln zusammengestellt und in Münzenrollen verpackt werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving a device of the generic type in such a way that, with a small construction volume, a large number of coins per unit of time can be assembled into stacks of coins and packed in coin rolls.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. In die Vorrichtung laufen die Münzen unmittelbar von der Förderbahn einer bekannten, mit einem horizontalen Drehteller arbeitenden Münzzähl-und Münzsortiervorrichtung mit hoher Stückzahl von bis zu 3000 Münzen pro Minute ein und gelangen in schneller Folge auf die beiden parallelen Schienen der Kippstation. Hier wird die zuerst ankommende Münze unter Wirkung der schräg gegen die Förderrichtung der Münzen gerichteten Anstell­fläche des ersten Münzen-Rückhalters unter einem Winkel von etwa 45 bis 60 ° schräg gestellt, wobei die erste Münze quer zur Förderrichtung und damit quer zu den Schienen steht. Die nächste und jede folgende Münze stößt gegen den unteren Flächenbereich der entsprechend schräg gestellten Münzen, so daß die mit hoher Geschwindigkeit ankommenden Münzen nacheinander schuppenförmig aufgereiht werden. Somit ergibt sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit ein geschuppter Münzenstapel auf den parallelen Schienen der Kippstation. Der Münzenstapel wird anschließend in die in der gleichen Ebene gelegene Wickelstation weitergefördert und dort in eine Folie zu einer Münzenrolle verpackt. Die Vorrichtung benötigt nur ein kleines Bauvolumen, da die Vorrichtung nicht wesentlich länger ist als die doppelte Länge des längsten zu bildenden Münzenstapels. Durch die Schuppung der Münzen auf den parallelen Schienen der Kippstation erfolgt die Bildung des Münzenstapels mit hoher Arbeits­ geschwindigkeit von bis zu 3000 Münzen pro Minute.The solution to this problem arises from the characterizing features of claim 1. The coins run into the device directly from the conveyor track of a known coin counter and coin sorting device working with a horizontal turntable with a high number of pieces of up to 3000 coins per minute and enter quick succession on the two parallel rails of the tilting station. Here, the coin arriving first is inclined at an angle of approximately 45 to 60 ° under the action of the contact surface of the first coin retainer, which is directed obliquely against the conveying direction of the coins, the first coin being transverse to the conveying direction and thus transverse to the rails. The next and each subsequent coin abuts against the lower surface area of the correspondingly inclined coins, so that the coins arriving at high speed are successively lined up in a row. This results in a scaled stack of coins on the parallel rails of the tilting station within a very short time. The stack of coins is then conveyed to the winding station located on the same level and packed there in a film to form a roll of coins. The device requires only a small construction volume, since the device is not significantly longer than twice the length of the longest stack of coins to be formed. By scaling the coins on the parallel rails of the tilting station, the stack of coins is formed with a lot of work speed of up to 3000 coins per minute.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. So ist der Abstand der Schienen symmetrisch zur Längsachse eines Förderbandes für die Münzen einstellbar, so daß die Vorrichtung auf unter­schiedliche Durchmesser von Münzen einstellbar ist. Ferner ist ein Transportschieber in Verbindung mit einem vorderen Münzenrollen-Gegenhalter vorgesehen, wobei diesem ein hinterer Münzenrollen-Gegenhalter zugeordnet ist, der die Haltefunktion des Transportschiebers innerhalb der Wickel­station übernimmt. Die Wickelstation dient zum Einrollen des Münzenstapels in eine Folie und somit zur Bildung der Münzenrolle. Die Wickelstation ist mit zwei im Abstand voneinander befindlichen Gummiwalzen, mit einem Folien­spender und mit einer Andrückeinrichtung für die Folie sowie ferner mit Warmluftdüsen zum Schrumpfen der Folien­kanten versehen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims. The distance between the rails can be adjusted symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of a conveyor belt for the coins, so that the device can be adjusted to different diameters of coins. Furthermore, a transport slide is provided in connection with a front coin roll counter-holder, with this being assigned a rear coin roll counter-holder, which takes over the holding function of the transport slide within the winding station. The winding station is used to roll the stack of coins into a film and thus to form the roll of coins. The winding station is provided with two rubber rollers at a distance from one another, with a film dispenser and with a pressing device for the film and also with warm air nozzles for shrinking the film edges.

Es ist zwar aus der DE 12 91 153 bereits bekannt, einen Münzenstapel auf zwei parallelen Aufreihstangen zu bilden und den so gebildeten Münzenstapel dann mittels Greifern auf zwei unter den Aufreihstangen befindliche Einrollwalzen zu überführen, auf welchen der Münzenstapel zwecks Bildung der Münzenrolle in ein Papierblatt eingewickelt wird. Hierbei werden die Münzen jedoch über einen Fallschacht einzeln und hochkantstehend den Aufreihstangen zugefördert, so daß diese bekannte Vorrichtung nur mit relativ geringer Geschwindigkeit arbeiten kann. Durch die übereinander­liegende Anordnung von Aufreihstangen und Einrollwalzen ergibt sich darüber hinaus ein großes Bauvolumen, so daß diese bekannte Vorrichtung ebenfalls nicht als Tischgerät verwendbar ist.It is already known from DE 12 91 153 to form a stack of coins on two parallel rows and then use grippers to transfer the stack of coins thus formed to two rolling rollers located under the rows on which the stack of coins is wrapped in a paper sheet to form the coin roll becomes. Here, however, the coins are conveyed individually and upright to the aligning rods via a chute, so that this known device can only work at a relatively low speed. Due to the stacked arrangement of rows and rolling rollers, there is also a large construction volume, so that this known device can also not be used as a table device.

Die Vorrichtung 1 zur Herstellung von Münzenrollen ist im Ausführungsbespiel Bestandteil einer Münzzähl- und Münzsortiervorrichtung 2. Diese umfaßt innerhalb eines Gehäuses 3 einen horizontalen Drehteller 4, der um seine vertikale Drehachse 5 motorisch in der Drehrichtung 6 dreh­angetrieben ist. Die auf den Drehteller 4 über eine nicht näher dargestellte Rutsche aufgegebenen Münzen 7 werden mittels eines Transportbandes 8 tangential vom Drehteller 4 in die Zuführungsbahn 9 gefördert, über welche die Münzen 7 die Vorrichtung 1 zur Herstellung von Münzenrollen erreichen. In der Zuführungsbahn 9 sind nicht näher dargestellte Ein­richtungen zur Zählung und Sortierung der Münzen angeordnet. Am Ende der Zuführungsbahn 9 ist unterhalb des vorderen Umlenkrades 10 für das Transportband 8, das in Pfeilrichtung 11 umläuft, eine Wippe 12 angeordnet, die bei einem Zähl- und Sortiervorgang ohne Benutzung der Vorrichtung 1 zur Herstellung von Münzenrollen alle Münzen 7 in einen nicht näher dargestellten Sammelschacht ableitet. Hierzu ist die Wippe 12 hochgeschwenkt. In der Normallage befindet sich die Oberseite der Wippe 12 in der Ebene der Zuführungsbahn 9, so daß alle Münzen 7 in die Vorrichtung 1 zur Herstellung von Münzenrollen eingeleitet werden. Die Wippe 12 wird später noch näher beschrieben werden.The device 1 for the production of coin rolls is part of a coin counting and coin sorting device 2 in the exemplary embodiment. This comprises within a housing 3 a horizontal turntable 4, which is driven by rotation about its vertical axis of rotation 5 in the direction of rotation 6. The coins 7 placed on the turntable 4 via a slide (not shown in detail) are conveyed tangentially from the turntable 4 into the feed path 9 by means of a conveyor belt 8, via which the coins 7 reach the device 1 for producing coin rolls. Devices for counting and sorting the coins (not shown in more detail) are arranged in the feed path 9. At the end of the feed path 9, a rocker 12 is arranged below the front deflection wheel 10 for the conveyor belt 8, which rotates in the direction of the arrow 11, which in a counting and sorting process without using the device 1 for the production of coin rolls, all coins 7 into one not closer shown collecting shaft derives. For this purpose, the rocker 12 is pivoted up. In the normal position, the top of the rocker 12 is in the plane of the feed path 9, so that all coins 7 are introduced into the device 1 for producing coin rolls. The rocker 12 will be described in more detail later.

Die Vorrichtung 1 zur Herstellung von Münzenrollen umfaßt eine Kippstation 15 zur Überführung der auf der Zuführungs­bahn 9 flach liegend zugeführten Münzen 7 in eine Hochkant­lage und eine Wickelstation 16 zur Bildung einer Münzenrolle 13 aus den zu einem Münzenstapel 14 zusammengefaßten, hochkant stehenden Münzen 7.The device 1 for the production of coin rolls comprises a tilting station 15 for transferring the coins 7 lying flat on the feed path 9 into an upright position and a winding station 16 for forming a coin roll 13 from the upright standing coins 7 combined into a coin stack 14.

Die Kippstation 15 umfaßt zwei parallele Schienen 17, die sich in Längsrichtung an die Zuführungsbahn 9 anschließen und deren Abstand voneinander symmetrisch zur Längsmittel­ achse des Transportbandes 8 einstellbar ist. Hierzu sind die Schienen 17 an Schienenträgern 18 befestigt, die sich über die Gesamtlänge von Kipp- und Wickelstation 15,16 erstrecken. An beiden Enden sind rechtwinklig an die Schienenträger 18 Zahnstangen 19 angesetzt, deren Zähne gegeneinander gerichtet sind und die jeweils paarweise in Ritzel 20 eingreifen, die mit ihren Achsen senkrecht zur Deckplatte 21 der Münzzähl- und Münzsortiervorrichtung 2 gelagert sind. Mit den Ritzeln 20 kämmt eine lange Zahnstange 22, die sich parallel zur Zuführungsbahn 9 und zur Kipp- und Wickelstation 15,16 erstreckt und von einem weiteren Ritzel 23 betätigt wird. Über das Ritzel 23 wird mittels eines an diesem angebrachten, nicht dargestellten Stellknopf der Abstand der Schienen 17 eingestellt , der immer etwas kleiner als der Durchmesser der Münzen 7 ist. Ferner wird mittels des Ritzels 23 ein Schie­ber 111 zur Einstellung der Weite einer Ausfallöffnung 112 betätigt , welche den Durchmesser der über die Förderbahn 9 zu fördenden Münzen 7 bestimmt .The tilting station 15 comprises two parallel rails 17, which adjoin the feed path 9 in the longitudinal direction and whose distance from one another is symmetrical to the longitudinal center axis of the conveyor belt 8 is adjustable. For this purpose, the rails 17 are fastened to rail supports 18, which extend over the entire length of the tilting and winding station 15, 16. At both ends 18 racks 19 are attached at right angles to the rail supports, the teeth of which are directed towards one another and each engage in pairs in pinions 20, which are mounted with their axes perpendicular to the cover plate 21 of the coin counting and coin sorting device 2. A long rack 22 meshes with the pinions 20, which extends parallel to the feed path 9 and the tilting and winding station 15, 16 and is actuated by a further pinion 23. Via the pinion 23, the distance between the rails 17, which is always somewhat smaller than the diameter of the coins 7, is set by means of an adjusting knob (not shown) attached to this. Furthermore, by means of the pinion 23, a slide 111 is actuated to adjust the width of a discharge opening 112, which determines the diameter of the coins 7 to be conveyed via the conveyor track 9.

Oberhalb der Schienen 18 ist jeweils ein Münzen- Niederhalter 24 angeordnet und mit den Schienenträgern 18 über je zwei Parallellenker 25 verbunden. Die Münzen-Niederhalter 24 sind aus Flachprofilstücken gebildet , deren vertikale Höhe bzw. Dicke an ihren zur Zuführungsbahn 9 hin gerichteten Enden kurven­förmig geringer wird . Die beiden Münzen-Niederhalter 24 werden von einem Drücker 26 niedergedrückt, der an einer Schwinge 27 um eine Achse 28 schwenkbar und mittels einer Feder 29 in Uhrzeigerrichtung gegen die Münzen- Niederhalter 24 gedrückt ist. Der Drücker 26 befindet sich mittig zwischen den Münzen- Niederhaltern 24 und weist an seinem freien Ende zwei Drückerbolzen 30 auf, die unmittelbar auf den Oberseiten der Münzen- Niederhalter 24 aufliegen.A coin hold-down device 24 is arranged above the rails 18 and connected to the rail supports 18 by two parallel links 25 each. The coin hold-downs 24 are formed from flat profile pieces, the vertical height or thickness of which is curved at their ends directed towards the feed path 9. The two coin hold-down devices 24 are depressed by a pusher 26, which can be pivoted about an axis 28 on a rocker 27 and is pressed clockwise against the coin hold-down device 24 by means of a spring 29. The pusher 26 is located in the middle between the coin hold-down devices 24 and has at its free end two pusher pins 30 which rest directly on the upper sides of the coin hold-down devices 24.

Die Schwinge 27 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Länge von Kipp- und Wickelstation 15, 16 und ist mit ihrer Schwenkachse 31 fest mit der Deckplatte 21 der Münzzähl-und Münzsortier­vorrichtung 2 verbunden. Im Bereich der Kippstation 15 trägt die Schwinge 27 vier zwischen die Schienen 17 greifen­de , S-förmig ausgebildete Münzen-Rückhalter 32, die mittels Achsen 33 in der Schwinge 27 gelagert sind und unter der Wirkung von Zugfedern 34 stehen, die an dem oberen kurzen Ende der Münzenrückhalter 32 angreifen. Die Zugfeder 34 des in Transportrichtung ersten Münzen-­Rückhalters 32 ist mit größerer Federkraft ausgestattet als die Federn 34 der nachfolgenden Münzen-Rückhalter 32. Die Schwinge 27 ist aus einem U-Profil gebildet, in das die Achsen 33 der Münzenrückhalter 32 derart eingesetzt sind, daß deren, von den Zugfedern 34 beaufschlagte obere kurze Enden in der Ruhelage gegen die obenliegende Basis der U-förmigen Schwinge 27 zur Anlage kommen. Die S-förmigen Münzenrückhalter 32 sind mit schräg zur Transportrichtung der Münzen 7 gerichteten Anstellflächen 35 versehen, die aus den der Achsen 33 entgegengesetzten kurzen Enden der S-förmigen Münzenrückhalter 32 gebildet sind. Der Anstell­winkel α der Anstellflächen 35 für die Münzen 7 beträgt in der Ruhelage etwa 60°.The rocker arm 27 extends over the entire length of the tilting and winding station 15, 16 and is with its pivot axis 31 firmly connected to the cover plate 21 of the coin counting and sorting device 2. In the area of the tilting station 15, the rocker arm 27 carries four S-shaped coin retainers 32 which reach between the rails 17 and are mounted in the rocker arm 27 by means of axles 33 and are under the action of tension springs 34 which are located at the upper short end attack the coin retainer 32. The tension spring 34 of the first coin retainer 32 in the direction of transport is equipped with greater spring force than the springs 34 of the subsequent coin retainers 32. The rocker arm 27 is formed from a U-profile, in which the axes 33 of the coin retainers 32 are inserted in such a way that that the upper short ends acted upon by the tension springs 34 come to rest in the rest position against the overhead base of the U-shaped rocker 27. The S-shaped coin retainers 32 are provided with adjustment surfaces 35 directed obliquely to the transport direction of the coins 7, which are formed from the short ends of the S-shaped coin retainers 32 opposite the axes 33. The setting angle α of the setting surfaces 35 for the coins 7 is approximately 60 ° in the rest position.

Die bisher beschriebene Kippstation 15 der Vorrichtung 1 zur Herstellung von Münzenrollen 13 arbeitet wie folgt:The previously described tilting station 15 of the device 1 for producing coin rolls 13 operates as follows:

Bei in ihrer Normallage befindlichen Wippe 12 werden die Münzen 7 vom Drehteller 4 über die Führungsbahn 9 mit hoher Geschwindigkeit in die Kippstation 15 geführt. Zwischen der Wippe 12 und dem Transportband 8 im Bereich des vorderen Umlenkrades 10 hindurch gelangt die erste Münze 7 in den Bereich der Schienen 17, deren Abstand voneinander etwas geringer ist als der Durchmesser der Münzen 7. Gleichzeitig gelangt die erste Münze 7 gegen die Anstellfläche 35 des ersten Münzen-Rückhalters 32, wie es in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist. Die Münze 7 kippt mit dem unteren Teil ihrer Fläche zwischen die Schienen 17 ab, ohne jedoch durch diese hindurchzufallen, da die Münze 7 mit ihrer Fläche quer zur Anstellfläche 35 des Münzen-Rückhalters 32 zur Anlage kommt. Gleichzeitig kommt die schräg aufgerichtete Münze 7 in Berührungskontakt mit den Unterkanten der beiden Münzen-­Niederhalter 24. Somit ist die erste Münze 7 in ihrer Schräglage fixiert. In schneller Folge kommen nun weitere Münzen 7 an, die sich, wie es in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, gegen die erste Münze 7 legen und in gleicher Weise wie diese aufgerichtet werden. Das Aufrichten erfolgt in Form einer Schuppung. Jede nachfolgende Münze 7 drückt die bereits in der Kippstation 15 befindliche Münze 7 weiter, so daß der in Bildung befindliche Münzenstapel 14 vom ersten Münzenrückhalter 32 an den zweiten Münzenrückhalter 32 übergeben wird, wie es in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist. Die Anstell­fläche 35 des ersten Münzenrückhalters 32 kommt dabei auf der Oberseite der Münzen 7 des in Bildung befindlichen Münzenstapels 14 zur Anlage. Dieser Vorgang setzt sich, je nach Länge des gewünschten Münzenstapels 14, fort, bis die gewünschte Anzahl von Münzen 7 im Münzenstapel 14 erreicht ist. Der nun fertige Münzenstapel 14 wird an eine Trans­porteinrichtung 36 übergeben, die den Münzenstapel 14 in die Wickelstation 16 überführt.When the rocker 12 is in its normal position, the coins 7 are guided from the turntable 4 via the guide track 9 into the tilting station 15 at high speed. Between the rocker 12 and the conveyor belt 8 in the area of the front deflection wheel 10, the first coin 7 passes into the area of the rails 17, the distance from one another of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the coins 7. At the same time, the first coin 7 comes against the contact surface 35 of the first coin retainer 32, as shown in FIG. 2. The coin 7 tilts with the lower part of its surface between the rails 17, but without to fall through them, since the surface of the coin 7 comes to rest transversely to the contact surface 35 of the coin retainer 32. At the same time, the obliquely erected coin 7 comes into contact with the lower edges of the two coin hold-down devices 24. Thus, the first coin 7 is fixed in its inclined position. Further coins 7 now arrive in rapid succession, which, as shown in FIG. 3, lie against the first coin 7 and are erected in the same manner as this. The erection takes the form of a shingling. Each subsequent coin 7 presses the coin 7 already in the tilting station 15, so that the coin stack 14 in formation is transferred from the first coin retainer 32 to the second coin retainer 32, as shown in FIG. 3. The contact surface 35 of the first coin retainer 32 comes to rest on the top of the coins 7 of the coin stack 14 being formed. Depending on the length of the desired coin stack 14, this process continues until the desired number of coins 7 in the coin stack 14 is reached. The now finished stack of coins 14 is transferred to a transport device 36, which transfers the stack of coins 14 into the winding station 16.

Die Transporteinrichtung 36 besteht aus einem unterhalb der Schwinge 27 sowie oberhalb der Schienen 17 bzw. der Schienen­träger 18 bewegbar angeordneten vorderen Münzenrollen-­Gegenhalter 37 und zwei unterhalb der Schienen 17 angeordneten und zwischen diese schwenkbaren Schieberarmen 39 eines Trans­portschiebers 38. Dieser ist mit seinem Schieberkörper 40 auf zwei parallelen Führungsstangen 41 geführt, die unter­halb der Deckplatte 21 der Münzzähl- und Münzsortiervor­richtung 2 festangebracht sind. Der Schieberkörper 40 wird über eine Kette 42 von einem nicht näher dargestellten Antrieb entlang der Führungsstangen 41 hin- und herbewegt. Der Transportschieber 38 umfaßt ein Paar von Schieberarmen 39 , die über ein Distanzstück 114 am Schieberkörper 40 angelenkt und in einem kleinen Abstand voneinander parallel zuein­ ander angeordnet sind. Die Schieberarme 39 werden bei einer Transportbewegung des Schieberkörpers 40 entlang der Führungs­stangen 41 automatisch aus der in der Figur 6 rechts darge­stellten flachliegenden Position in die in Fig. 6 links dargestellte aufgerichtete Position verschwenkt. Hierzu sind Lenker 43, 44 vorgesehen, die über eine Steuerstange 45 betätigbar sind. In der in Fig. 6 links dargestellten aufgerichteten Stellung der Schieberarme 39 sind diese mittels der Lenker 43,44 starr arretiert. Wie es die Fig. 4 zeigt, greifen die Schieberarme 39 in dieser arretierten Stellung gegen die letzte Münze des auf den Schienen 17 in die Wickelstation zu schiebenden Münzenstapels 14.The transport device 36 consists of a front coin roller counter-holder 37 which is movably arranged below the rocker arm 27 and above the rails 17 or the rail carrier 18 and two slide arms 39 of a transport slide valve 38 which are arranged below the rails 17 and can be pivoted between them. This is with its slide body 40 guided on two parallel guide rods 41 which are fixedly attached below the cover plate 21 of the coin counting and coin sorting device 2. The slider body 40 is moved back and forth along the guide rods 41 via a chain 42 by a drive, not shown. The transport slide 38 comprises a pair of slide arms 39 which are articulated on the slide body 40 via a spacer 114 and are parallel to one another at a small distance from one another are arranged differently. When the slide body 40 is moved along the guide rods 41, the slide arms 39 are automatically pivoted from the flat position shown on the right in FIG. 6 to the upright position shown on the left in FIG. 6. For this purpose, links 43, 44 are provided which can be actuated via a control rod 45. In the erected position of the slide arms 39 shown on the left in FIG. 6, these are rigidly locked by means of the links 43, 44. As shown in FIG. 4, in this locked position, the slide arms 39 engage against the last coin of the stack of coins 14 to be pushed into the winding station on the rails 17.

Der vordere Münzenrollen-Gegenhalter 37 ist unterhalb der Schwinge 27 in Führungen 46 gelagert und von Federn 47 beaufschlagt, die den vorderen Münzenrollen- Gegenhalter 37 ständig in Richtung auf die Kippstation 15 drücken. Am unteren Ende trägt der vordere Münzenrollen- Gegenhalter 37 einen Stößel 48 , dessen Schaft an einem Schwenk-Schiebestück 50 befestigt ist , das beim Eingriff einer Achse 49 in eine Nut 113 gegen die Wirkung einer Feder 51 um die Achse 49 schwenkbar und bei rein axialer Beaufschlagung axial arre­tiert ist , wie es in Fig. 5 , links , dargestellt ist .The front coin roll counter-holder 37 is mounted below the rocker 27 in guides 46 and is acted upon by springs 47 which constantly press the front coin roll counter-holder 37 in the direction of the tilting station 15. At the lower end, the front counter roll holder 37 carries a plunger 48, the shaft of which is fastened to a swivel-slide piece 50 which, when an axis 49 engages in a groove 113, can pivot about the axis 49 against the action of a spring 51 and is purely axial Actuation is axially locked, as shown in Fig. 5, left.

Bei der Überführung eines in der Kippstation 15 gebildeten Münzenstapels 14 in die Wickelstation 16 werden die Schieber­arme 39 des Transportschiebers 38 hochgeschwenkt und in ihre in Fig. 6 links dargestellte hochgeschwenkte, arretierte Lage verbracht. Die Schieberarme 39 greifen nun hinter die letzte Münze 7 des gebildeten Münzenstapels 14 und schieben über diese den gesamten Münzenstapel 14 in Richtung auf die Wickelstation 16, wobei die vordere Münze 7 am Stössel 48 des vorderen Münzenrollen- Gegenhalters 37 zur Anlage kommt. Alle Münzen 7 werden hierbei in die Vertikale aufgerichtet und als Münzenstapel 14 über die Schienen 17 der Wickel­station 16 zugeführt. Die Schieberarme 39 des Transport­ schiebers 38 drücken dabei über den Münzenstapel 14 und den Stössel 48 gegen die Federn 47, die den vorderen Münzen­rollen-Gegenhalter beaufschlagen. Der Stössel 48 des vorderen Münzenrollen- Gegenhalters 37 ist hierbei selbsttätig arretiert.When a stack of coins 14 formed in the tilting station 15 is transferred to the winding station 16, the slide arms 39 of the transport slide 38 are pivoted up and brought into their locked-up position shown in FIG. 6 on the left. The slide arms 39 now reach behind the last coin 7 of the coin stack 14 formed and push the entire coin stack 14 in the direction of the winding station 16, the front coin 7 coming into contact with the plunger 48 of the front coin roll counter-holder 37. All of the coins 7 are erected vertically and fed as a stack of coins 14 to the winding station 16 via the rails 17. The slide arms 39 of the transport slide 38 press over the coin stack 14 and the plunger 48 against the springs 47 which act on the front counter roll holder. The plunger 48 of the front counter roll holder 37 is automatically locked.

Die Wickelstation 16 umfaßt zwei im Abstand voneinander befindliche Gummiwalzen 52, die zur Aufnahme des Münzenstapels 14 und zur Bildung der Münzenrolle 13 dienen und die an den Schienenträgern 18 gelagert sind. Der Abstand der Gummi­walzen 52 wird somit in gleicher Weise wie der Abstand der Schienen 17 über die Verstellung der Schienenträger 18 eingestellt.The winding station 16 comprises two rubber rollers 52 located at a distance from one another, which serve to receive the coin stack 14 and to form the coin roll 13 and which are mounted on the rail supports 18. The distance between the rubber rollers 52 is thus set in the same way as the distance between the rails 17 via the adjustment of the rail carrier 18.

Wie es die Fig. 4 zeigt, befindet sich bei der Überführung des Münzenstapels 14 von der Kippstation 15 in die Wickel­station 16 am Ende der Führungsstangen 41 für den Trans­portschieber 38 ein hinterer Münzenrollen- Gegenhalter 53, der vom Münzenstapel 14 beim Passieren niedergedrückt wird . Nach dem Passieren des Münzenstapels 14 schwenkt der hintere Münzenrollen- Gegenhalter 53 hoch, wie es in Fig. 5 darge­stellt ist. Der hintere Münzenrollen- Gegenhalter 53 paßt genau zwischen die beiden Schieberarme 39 des Transport­schiebers 38 und greift mit seinem Stössel 54 mittig gegen die hinterste Münze 7. Hierzu ist der Schaft 55 des Stössels 55 ähnlich wie der Schaft 49 des Stössels 48 am vorderen Münzenrollen- Gegenhalter 37 um eine horizontale Achse 56 gegen eine Federkraft schwenkbar und arretierbar. Der hintere Münzenrollen- Gegenhalter 53 ist aus einem den Stössel 54 mit seinem Schaft 55 tragenden Gegenhalterarm 57 und zwei diesen tragenden Parallellenkern 58 gebildet, die an einem Gegenhalterträger 60 angelenkt sind, der gehäuse­fest angebracht ist. Eine Zugfeder 59 drückt den Gegenhalter­arm 57 in Richtung auf den in der Wickelstation 16 befindlichen Münzenstapel 14. Nach der Übernahme des Münzenstapels 14 durch den hinteren Münzenrollen- Gegenhalter 53 schwenken die Schieberarme 39 des Transportschiebers 38 zurück und werden in die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Ausgangslage zurück­gefahren, bei welcher die Schieberarme 39 in ihrer Ruhe­lage unterhalb der Schwinge 12 befindlich sind.As shown in FIG. 4, when the coin stack 14 is transferred from the tilting station 15 into the winding station 16 at the end of the guide rods 41 for the transport slide 38, there is a rear coin roll counter-holder 53 which is pressed down by the coin stack 14 as it passes. After passing through the coin stack 14, the rear coin roll counter-holder 53 swings up, as shown in FIG. 5. The rear coin roll counter holder 53 fits exactly between the two slide arms 39 of the transport slide 38 and engages with its plunger 54 in the center against the rearmost coin 7. For this purpose, the shaft 55 of the plunger 55 is similar to the shaft 49 of the plunger 48 on the front coin roll counter holder 37 can be pivoted and locked against a spring force about a horizontal axis 56. The rear coin roll counter-holder 53 is formed from a counter-holder arm 57 which carries the plunger 54 with its shaft 55 and two parallel arm 58 which support this and are articulated on a counter-holder carrier 60 which is fixed to the housing. A tension spring 59 presses the counter-holding arm 57 in the direction of that located in the winding station 16 Coin stack 14. After the coin stack 14 has been taken over by the rear coin roll counter-holder 53, the slide arms 39 of the transport slide 38 pivot back and are returned to the starting position shown in FIG. 2, in which the slide arms 39 are in their rest position below the rocker 12 .

Die in den Figuren 8 bis 10 näher dargestellte Wippe 12 umfaßt ein brückförmiges Führungsbahnteil 61, das in der Normallage der Wippe 12 mit seiner Oberfläche bündig mit der Oberfläche der Zuführungsbahn 9 abschließt. Das brücken­förmige Führungsbahnteil 61 ist aus zwei im Abstand vonein­ander befindlichen plattenförmigen Bauteilen gebildet, deren Abstand geringer ist als der Durchmesser der kleinsten Münze 7. Unterhalb des vorderen Umlenkrades 10 für das Transportband 8 ist in das brückenartige Führungsbahnteil 61 ein Kugellager 62 eingesetzt, das etwas (ca.0,2 mm) über die Oberseite des Führungsbahnteiles 61 ragt und das der leichteren Überführung der Münzen 7 zur Kippstation 15 dient . Am vorderen Ende ist ein Schwenkstück 63 in das Führungsbahn­teil 61 eingesetzt, das einerseits der Überführung der Münzen 7 in die Kippstation 15 und andererseits dem Hoch­schwenken der Schieberarme 39 des Transportschiebers 38 dient. Das Führungsbahnteil 61 ist mit einer Schwenkachse 64 an einem Tragarm 65 gelagert, der wiederum an einer gehäusefesten Achse 66 gelagert ist. Am Tragarm 65 ist ein Stift 67 senkrecht zum Tragarm 65 angesetzt, der von einer gehäusefest abgestützten Zugfeder 68 beaufschlagt ist. Die aus dem Führungsbahnteil 61 und dem Tragarm 65 bestehende Schwinge 12 kann somit gegen die Wirkung der Zugfeder 68 um die gehäusefeste Achse 66 geschwenkt werden, so daß der Abstand zwischen dem Transportband 8 unterhalb des vorderen Umlenkrades 10 und der Schwinge 12 zur Anpassung an unter­schiedlich dicke Münzen selbsttätig einstellbar ist. Die Schwenkachse 64 des Führungsbahnteiles 61 wird durch eine Stange 69 gebildet, um welche herum eine Torsionsfeder 70 gelegt ist. Diese stützt sich am Tragarm 65 ab und bewirkt, daß das Führungsbahnteil 61 in Richtung auf seine Normal­lage gedrückt wird, in der das Führungsbahnteil 61 in der Ebene der Zuführungsbahn 9 liegt ( Fig.8 ). An die Stange 69 ist eine Platte 71 angesetzt, die einem Elektromagneten 72 gegenüberliegt. Bei dessen Betätigung wird die Platte 71 angezogen, so daß das Führungsbahnteil 61 gegen die Wirkung der Torsionsfeder 70 verschwenkt wird, um die Zuführungsbahn 9 zu unterbrechen, d.h. die Schwinge 12 wird hochgestellt (Fig. 10 ), so daß die über die Zuführungsbahn 9 zugeführten Münzen aussortiert werden. Die Wippe 12 hat somit eine Doppelfunktion. Einerseits dient die Wippe 12 zum Ausgleich der Dickenunterschiede verschiedener Münzensorten. Anderer­seits dient die Wippe 12 zum Ableiten von Münzen, die nicht der Vorrichtung 1 zur Herstellung von Münzenrollen zugeführt werden sollen.The rocker 12 shown in more detail in FIGS. 8 to 10 comprises a bridge-shaped guide track part 61 which, in the normal position of the rocker 12, is flush with its surface with the surface of the feed track 9. The bridge-shaped guideway part 61 is formed from two spaced-apart plate-shaped components, the spacing of which is smaller than the diameter of the smallest coin 7. Below the front deflection wheel 10 for the conveyor belt 8, a ball bearing 62 is inserted into the bridge-like guideway part 61, which 0.2 mm) protrudes over the top of the guideway part 61 and is used for easier transfer of the coins 7 to the tilting station 15. At the front end, a pivot piece 63 is inserted into the guideway part 61, which serves on the one hand to transfer the coins 7 into the tilting station 15 and on the other hand to pivot the slide arms 39 of the transport slide 38 up. The guideway part 61 is mounted with a pivot axis 64 on a support arm 65, which in turn is mounted on an axis 66 fixed to the housing. On the support arm 65, a pin 67 is attached perpendicular to the support arm 65, which is acted upon by a tension spring 68 which is supported on the housing. The swing arm 12 consisting of the guideway part 61 and the support arm 65 can thus be pivoted against the action of the tension spring 68 about the housing-fixed axis 66, so that the distance between the conveyor belt 8 below the front deflection wheel 10 and the swing arm 12 to adapt to different thicknesses Coins can be set automatically. The The pivot axis 64 of the guideway part 61 is formed by a rod 69, around which a torsion spring 70 is placed. This is supported on the support arm 65 and causes the guideway part 61 to be pressed in the direction of its normal position, in which the guideway part 61 lies in the plane of the feed path 9 (FIG. 8). A plate 71 is attached to the rod 69 and is opposite an electromagnet 72. When it is actuated, the plate 71 is tightened so that the guide track part 61 is pivoted against the action of the torsion spring 70 in order to interrupt the feed track 9, ie the rocker 12 is raised (FIG. 10) so that the feed tracks 9 are fed in Coins are sorted out. The rocker 12 thus has a double function. On the one hand, the rocker 12 serves to compensate for the differences in thickness of different types of coins. On the other hand, the rocker 12 is used to derive coins that are not to be fed to the device 1 for producing coin rolls.

Die Wickelstation 16 ( Figuren 11 bis 15) umfaßt die an den Schienenträgern 18 gelagerten Gummiwalzen 52, deren Abstand kleiner als der Durchmesser der Münzen 7 ist und von denen mindestens eine antreibbar ist, und ferner auf einer Längs­seite einen Folienspender 80 zur Zufuhr einer Einwickel­folie 81 und schließlich auf der anderen Längsseite der Gummiwalzen 52 eine Andrückeinrichtung 82 für die Folie 81, um diese um den Münzenstapel 14 herumzulegen und diesen zur Münzenrolle 13 auszubilden.The winding station 16 (FIGS. 11 to 15) comprises the rubber rollers 52 mounted on the rail supports 18, the spacing of which is smaller than the diameter of the coins 7 and of which at least one can be driven, and also on one long side a film dispenser 80 for supplying a wrapping film 81 and finally, on the other long side of the rubber rollers 52, a pressing device 82 for the film 81, in order to place it around the coin stack 14 and to form it into the coin roll 13.

Der Folienspender 80 umfaßt eine Aufnahme 83 für eine Folien­rolle 84 und ferner einen Meß- und Zuführtisch 85 zur Zufuhr der Folie 81. Die Aufnahme 83 für die Folienrolle 84 besteht aus zwei aus dem Gehäuse 3 der Münzzähl- und Münz­ sortiervorrichtung 2 herausragenden Aufnahmearmen 86, zwischen denen die Folienrolle 84 eingespannt ist und von denen der in Fig.1 links dargestellte Aufnahmearm 86 zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Folienbreiten einstellbar im Gehäuse 3 gelagert ist. Unterhalb des Zuführtisches 85 für die Folie 81 ist ein Antriebsmotor 87 an einem gehäusefesten Träger 88 angeflanscht und mit einer fliegenden Rolle 89 versehen, die durch eine Öffnung 90 auf einer Seite des Zuführtisches 85 hindurchreicht, um die flach über den Zuführtisch 85 gezogene Folie 81 zu transportieren. Zur Bewirkung einer Transportfunktion ist der Rolle 89 oberhalb des Zuführ­tisches 85 eine Andrückwalze 91 zugeordnet( Fig. 13 bis 15). In Förderrichtung der Folie 81 erstreckt sich quer über den Zuführtisch 85 ein Trennschlitz 92, dem ein Trennmesser 93 gegenübersteht, das in der Figur 16 im Detail näher dargestellt ist. Durch die Öffnung 90 in dem Zuführtisch 85 greift eine weitere Rolle 94, die mit konzentrischer Achse zur Achse der Rolle 89 zum Antrieb der Folie 81 auf der Achse 95 eines Gebers 96 fliegend gelagert ist, der wiederum mittels eines gehäusefesten Trägers 97 festgelegt ist. Der Geber 96 dient zur Abmessung und Kontrolle der Länge eines zum Einwickeln eines Münzenstapels 14 benötigten Folienstückes.The film dispenser 80 comprises a receptacle 83 for a film roll 84 and also a measuring and feed table 85 for feeding the film 81. The receptacle 83 for the film roll 84 consists of two from the housing 3 of the coin counter and coin Sorting device 2 protruding receiving arms 86, between which the film roll 84 is clamped and of which the receiving arm 86 shown on the left in FIG. 1 is adjustably mounted in the housing 3 to adapt to different film widths. Below the feed table 85 for the film 81, a drive motor 87 is flanged to a carrier 88 fixed to the housing and is provided with a flying roller 89 which extends through an opening 90 on one side of the feed table 85 in order to pull the film 81 drawn flat over the feed table 85 transport. To effect a transport function, the roller 89 is assigned a pressure roller 91 above the feed table 85 (FIGS. 13 to 15). In the conveying direction of the film 81, a separating slot 92 extends across the feed table 85 and is opposed by a separating knife 93, which is shown in more detail in FIG. 16. A further roller 94 engages through the opening 90 in the feed table 85 and is mounted with the axis concentric with the axis of the roller 89 for driving the film 81 on the axis 95 of a transmitter 96, which in turn is fixed by means of a carrier 97 fixed to the housing. The transmitter 96 is used to measure and control the length of a piece of film required for wrapping a stack of coins 14.

Zur Überleitung der Folie 81 vom Zuführtisch 85 auf die Gummiwalzen 52 ist ein um eine vertikale Achse 98 schwenk­bares Segmentstück 99 vorgesehen, das aus der in Fig. 11 gezeigten Lage unterhalb des Zuführtisches 85 für die Folie 81 über die beiden Gummiwalzen 52 geschwenkt wird, wie es in Fig. 13 dargestellt ist, um so die Folie 81 über die beiden Gummiwalzen 52 bis auf die auf der dem Folienspender 80 gegenüberliegenden Seite der Gummiwalzen 52 angeordnete Andrückeinrichtung 82 zu bringen.To transfer the film 81 from the feed table 85 to the rubber rollers 52, a segment piece 99 which can be pivoted about a vertical axis 98 is provided, which is pivoted from the position shown in FIG. 11 below the feed table 85 for the film 81 over the two rubber rollers 52, such as it is shown in FIG. 13 so as to bring the film 81 over the two rubber rollers 52 to the pressing device 82 arranged on the side of the rubber rollers 52 opposite the film dispenser 80.

Die Andrückeinrichtung 82 für die Folie 81 umfaßt zwei im Abstand voneinander befindliche, um eine Achse 100 schwenkbare starre Bügel 101, an denen etwa in der Mitte ein kürzeres Federstahlband 102 und am Ende ein längeres Federstahlband 103 befestigt sind. Das kürzere Federstahl­band 102 ist am Ende mit einer mit einem Freilauf versehenen Andrückrolle 104 versehen. Das längere Federstahlband 103 ist am Ende mit einem elastischen Band 105 verbunden, das neben der nächstliegenden Gummiwalze 52 an der Stelle 106 nach unten umgelenkt und am Ende mit einem Zuggewicht 107 versehen ist.The pressing device 82 for the film 81 comprises two rigid brackets 101 which are at a distance from one another and can be pivoted about an axis 100 and to which a shorter spring steel band 102 and approximately a longer spring steel band 103 are fastened in the middle. The shorter spring steel strip 102 is provided at the end with a pressure roller 104 provided with a free wheel. The longer spring steel band 103 is connected at the end to an elastic band 105, which, in addition to the nearest rubber roller 52, is deflected downward at point 106 and is provided with a tensile weight 107 at the end.

Die beschriebene Wickelstation 16 arbeitet wie folgt:The winding station 16 described operates as follows:

Von der in den Aufnahmearmen 86 befindlichen Folienrolle 84 wird die Folie 81 abgezogen und über den mit schräger Oberfläche angeordneten Zuführtisch 85 bis in den Spalt zwischen der Transportrolle 89 und der Andrückrolle 91 geführt. Der Geber 96 wird auf Null eingestellt. Nunmehr wird unter Wirkung der Transportrolle 89 und unter Gegendruck durch die Andrückrolle 91 die gewünschte Folienlänge ge­fördert und bei ausgeschwenktem Segmentstück 99 über die beiden parallelen Gummiwalzen 52 hinweg bis in den Bereich der Andrückeinrichtung 82 geführt, wie es in Fig. 13 darge­stellt ist. Sobald die Meßrolle 94 des Gebers die gewünschte Länge ermittelt hat, wird die Transportrolle 89 still­gesetzt. Anschließend erfolgt ein Trennschnitt mittels des Trennmessers 93. Nunmehr kann der in der Kippstation 15 gebildete Münzenstapel 14 in die Wickelstation 15 ein­gebracht werden. Während des Einbringvorganges zieht der Stössel 54 des hinteren Münzenrollen- Gegenhalters 53 die Folie 81 nach unten, wie es in Fig. 4 angedeutet ist, so daß der Münzenstapel 14 auf die Gummiwalzen 52 der Wickel­station 16 geschoben werden kann, ohne daß die Folie 81 mitgeschoben wird. Nach dem Einbringen des Münzenstapels 14 schwenken die beiden Bügel 101 der Andrückeinrichtung 82 gegen die nunmehr auf den Gummiwalzen 52 befindlichen Münzenstapel 14, wobei das elastische Band 105 und die Andrückrollen 104 zur Anlage am Münzenstapel 14 kommen.The film 81 is pulled off the film roll 84 located in the receiving arms 86 and is guided over the feed table 85 arranged with an inclined surface into the gap between the transport roll 89 and the pressure roll 91. The encoder 96 is set to zero. Now, under the action of the transport roller 89 and under counterpressure, the desired film length is conveyed through the pressure roller 91 and, when the segment piece 99 is pivoted out, is guided over the two parallel rubber rollers 52 into the region of the pressure device 82, as shown in FIG. 13. As soon as the measuring roller 94 of the encoder has determined the desired length, the transport roller 89 is stopped. A separating cut is then carried out by means of the separating knife 93. The coin stack 14 formed in the tilting station 15 can now be introduced into the winding station 15. During the insertion process, the plunger 54 of the rear coin roll counter-holder 53 pulls the film 81 downward, as is indicated in FIG. 4, so that the coin stack 14 can be pushed onto the rubber rollers 52 of the winding station 16 without the film 81 is pushed along. After the coin stack 14 has been introduced, the two brackets 101 of the pressing device 82 pivot against the coin stack 14 now located on the rubber rollers 52, the elastic band 105 and the pressing rollers 104 coming into contact with the coin stack 14.

Durch den Drehantrieb einer der beiden Gummiwalzen 52 wird der Münzenstapel 14 nunmehr in Richtung des Pfeiles 108 ( Fig. 14 ) zugedreht, wobei gleichzeitig die Bügel 101 und damit die elastischen Bänder 105 und die Andrück­rollen 104 weitergeschwenkt werden, wie es in Fig. 15 dargestellt ist. Das elastische Band 105 steht dabei ständig unter Wirkung des Zuggewichtes 107. Sobald der Münzenstapel 14 voll in das abgemessene Stück der Folie 81 eingewickelt ist, kommen Heißluftdüsen 109 ( Fig. 1 und 11 ) zur Wirkung, welche die an beiden Stirnseiten des Münzenstapels 14 über­stehenden Ränder der Folie 81 unter Wärmeeinfluß nach innen auf die Stirnseiten des Münzenstapels 14 umbördeln. Die Münzenrolle 13 ist somit fertiggestellt und kann nach dem Auseinanderschwenken der beiden Gummiwalzen 52 nach unten ausfallen. Hierzu sind die Gummiwalzen 52 mittels gesonderte in den Figuren nicht dargestellter Schwenklager an den Schienenträgern 18 gelagert.The rotary drive of one of the two rubber rollers 52 now turns the stack of coins 14 in the direction of the arrow 108 (FIG. 14), the brackets 101 and thus the elastic bands 105 and the pressure rollers 104 being pivoted at the same time, as shown in FIG. 15 is. The elastic band 105 is constantly under the influence of the pulling weight 107. As soon as the stack of coins 14 is fully wrapped in the measured piece of the film 81, hot air nozzles 109 (FIGS. 1 and 11) come into effect, which protrude from both ends of the stack of coins 14 Flare the edges of the film 81 under the influence of heat inwards onto the end faces of the coin stack 14. The coin roll 13 is thus completed and can fall down after the two rubber rollers 52 have been swung apart. For this purpose, the rubber rollers 52 are mounted on the rail supports 18 by means of separate pivot bearings, not shown in the figures.

Zur Einstellung auf die gewünschte Länge einer Münzenrolle 13 sind der in den Figuren 1 und 11 jeweils links dargestellte Aufnahmearm 86 für die Folienrolle 84, der links dargestellte Bügel 101 und die links dargestellte Heißluftdüse 109 jeweils verstellbar am Gehäuse 3 der Münzzähl-und Münzsortiervor­richtung 2 gelagert.To set the desired length of a coin roll 13, the receiving arm 86 for the film roll 84 shown on the left in FIGS. 1 and 11, the bracket 101 shown on the left and the hot air nozzle 109 shown on the left are each adjustably mounted on the housing 3 of the coin counting and coin sorting device 2 .

Die Fig. 16 zeigt die spezielle Ausbildung des Zuführtisches 85 im Bereich des in den Trennschlitz 92 eingreifenden Trenn­messers 93, das mit einer sägezahnartigen Schneide versehen ist. Auf beiden Seiten des Trennmessers 93 sind Klemmbacken 110 angeordnet, die vor einem Trennschnitt mechanisch nieder und gegen die Oberfläche des Zuführtisches 85 gedrückt werden.16 shows the special design of the feed table 85 in the region of the separating knife 93 which engages in the separating slot 92 and which is provided with a sawtooth-like cutting edge. Clamping jaws 110 are arranged on both sides of the separating knife 93 and are mechanically pressed down before a separating cut and pressed against the surface of the feed table 85.

Dabei wird die Folie 81 zwischen den Klemmbacken 110 eingespannt, so daß das Trennmesser 93 mit seiner säge­zahnartigen Schneide die gespannte Folie 81 durchtrennen kann. Die Durchtrennung erfolgt in einem kombinierten Perforations-und Trennschnitt. Durch die Perforation der Folie 81 mittels der sägezahnartigen Schneide des Trenn­messers 93 erhalten die Kanten der abgeschnittenen Längen der Folie 81 eine sägezahnartige Ausbildung, die dem leichten Einreißen der die Münzenrolle 13 umfassenden Folie 81 dient.The film 81 is clamped between the clamping jaws 110, so that the cutting knife 93 can cut the stretched film 81 with its sawtooth-like cutting edge. The cutting takes place in a combined perforation and separation cut. Due to the perforation of the film 81 by means of the sawtooth-like cutting edge of the separating knife 93, the edges of the cut lengths of the film 81 receive a sawtooth-like design, which serves to easily tear the film 81 comprising the coin roll 13.

Alle Funktionen der beschriebenen Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Münzenrollen 13 werden ohne großen Kraft- bzw. Energie­aufwand ausgeführt . So gleiten die Münzen 7 auf den Schienen 17 einerseits und auf den Gummiwalzen 52 andererseits , ohne daß die Münzen 7 gewichtsmäßig den Antrieb der Vorrichtung be­lasten . Das Verschieben der in der Kippstation 15 gebildeten Münzenstapel 14 in die Wickelstation 15 erfolgt nur durch den Antrieb der Transporteinrichtung 38 , wobei der Münzenstapel 14 zwischen deren Transportarmen 39 und dem vorderen Münzenrollen-­Gegenhalter 37 und anschließend zwischen diesem und dem hinteren Münzenrollen-Gegenhalter 53 gehalten ist , deren Stößel 48,54 die Münzen 7 halten . Nach Fertigstellung der Münzenrolle 13 und nach dem Wegschwenken der Gummiwalzen 52 kippen die Stös­sel 48,54 nach unten , nachdem deren axiale Arretierung auf­gehoben ist ( Fig. 5 ) .All functions of the device described for the production of coin rolls 13 are carried out without great effort. Thus, the coins 7 slide on the rails 17 on the one hand and on the rubber rollers 52 on the other without the coins 7 weighing the drive of the device. The coin stacks 14 formed in the tilting station 15 are shifted into the winding station 15 only by driving the transport device 38, the coin stacks 14 being held between their transport arms 39 and the front coin roll counter-holder 37 and then between the latter and the rear coin roll counter-holder 53 whose plunger 48, 54 holds the coins 7. After completion of the coin roll 13 and after pivoting away the rubber rollers 52, the plungers 48, 54 tilt down after their axial locking has been released (FIG. 5).
