Definitions

  • This invention relates to coin acceptance apparatus having a coin receiving unit into which a user can place a batch of mixed coins, evaluating means for assessing the total value of coins in the batch, and indication means for indicating the total value of the coins to the user.
  • a coin acceptance apparatus comprises a coin receiving hopper assembly into which a user can place a batch of mixed coins, a rotatable disc inclined to the vertical for feeding coins from the hopper in single file to a coin discriminator, the coins on leaving the disc being carried by gravitational force alone into a coin escrow device positioned at a lower level than the coin discriminator, the coin escrow device having in its base door means which is selectively operable to direct the coins either to a return chute for collection by the user, or to an acceptance region not accessible to the user, and indication means for indicating to the user the total value of the coins received in the escrow device as determined by the coin discriminators.
  • the door means is selectively operable by the user or/and automatically by pre-programmed software.
  • the coin discriminator could determine the coin denominations whilst the coins are still being conveyed by the coin disc, preferably the discriminators are positioned to examine the coins as they roll down a ramp to the upper end of which the coins are fed by the disc.
  • the coin discriminator preferably then incorporates a rejection means arranged to direct unacceptable coins and bogus coins to a reject chute for return to the customer, without the coins entering the escrow.
  • the escrow preferably comprises an open-topped box of volume commensurate with the volume of the hopper to enable a large batch of coins to be handled.
  • the doors means may comprise a pair of doors which lead respectively to the return chute and to the acceptance region, but alternatively a single door may be provided which is arranged to tilt downwards in one sense when the coins are to be directed to the return chute, but in the opposite sense when the coins are to be directed to the acceptance chute.
  • the criterion may be that a predetermined minimum value of coins evaluated by the machine is reached within a predetermined time.
  • a minimum value as the criterion would be appropriate, for example, in the case that transactions below the minimum value are considered uneconomic by the machine owner.
  • the minimum value would be the permitted minimum stake.
  • the minimum value criterion would be appropriate in the circumstance that automatic return of coins is required where a fixed value has not been tendered, such as at a toll booth.
  • the criterion may be that a predetermined maximum value of coins is not exceeded within a predetermined time.
  • a maximum value as the criterion can be appropiate in some applications to minimise the risk of fraud. In a lottery ticket dispenser a maximum value would place a maximum on the permitted stake. A maximum value can also be used to avoid overflowing of the escrow.
  • Coins in excess of the maximum value are preferably arranged to be automatically returned to the user by the rejection means, and thus do not enter the escrow means.
  • the criterion is that the value of coins evaluated by the machine within a predetermined time falls within a predetermined range. If the value of the coins evaluated within the predetermined time does not exceed the lower range limit, then the escrow door means is operated to direct the coins held in the escrow to the return chute. On the other hand when the total value of the coins which have passed the discriminator and been accepted reaches the upper range limit, further coins fed by the disc are returned by the rejection means.
  • the apparatus is arranged to count the number of coins which are rejected by the rejection means, in order to detect an attempted fraud, and if this number exceeds a predetermined amount within a predetermined period, or during one attempted operation of the apparatus, it is arranged that all coins in the escrow are automatically returned to the user.
  • the apparatus is then rendered inoperative for a suitable period.
  • the apparatus may be arranged to simulate a fault condition.
  • the apparatus may be used in a bank as a coin acceptance device to enable a customer to pay coins into the bank. The customer is thereby given the opportunity of having the coins returned to him or her if he does not agree with the value displayed. If he permits the coins to pass from the escrow to the coin acceptance region, by operating an appropriate actuator, it may be arranged that a receipt is provided to the user recording the total value of the coins.
  • the apparatus is associated with a device for dispensing one or more lottery tickets, the lottery ticket being arranged to be dispensed once the user has indicated his decision to allow the coins to pass to the acceptance region, which is a secure money collection container.
  • a coin hopper 1 of the size to accommodate a large number of coins contains an inclined rotatable coin dispensing disc 2 driven by a motor 3 in response to the detection of coins inserted into the hopper by a coin detector 4.
  • the disc in this embodiment is a flexible disc (the subject of Patent No. G.B. 1,491,299), but a conventional rigid, inclined disc could be employed.
  • the coins are picked out by the disc from the hopper and fed in single file to the upper end of a coin ramp 5 down which the coins roll, a coin discriminator 6 of any suitable kind, such as an inductive coil device, being positioned alongside the ramp for determining the coin denominations.
  • Coins which are identified by discriminator 6 are permitted to fall down a duct 10 which leads directly into an escrow region 11 at the base of which is an escrow door 12.
  • the door 12 is capable of being selectively pivoted by respective solenoids about either the axis of pin 13 or about the axis of pin 14, in dependence upon whether or not the user presses a return button or an accept button, not shown. The user takes this decision on the basis of a digital display, not shown, of the total value of the money that has been permitted to pass into the escrow region 11.
  • the control unit for controlling the operation of the escrow door 12 preferably includes a microprocessor unit in the associated memory of which is stored preset maximum and minimum total values, and the unit is programmed such that if the total value of the money passed to the escrow region 11 by a predetermined time, from the first detection of coins by detector 4, does not lie between those values, the escrow door is automatically operated so as to return the coins in the escrow region 11 to the user.
  • Figure 3 is a flow chart of software to provide an efficient and advantageous operational sequencing of the device.
  • the START function 19 is shown as a manual start button, but can be automatic.
  • the variable 'VALUE' is set initially to zero.
  • Test 21 ascertains whether or not any coins have been inserted into the hopper 1, by observing the output of coin detector 4.
  • the return loop 22 is repeatedly executed until one or more coins are detected by detector 4 whereupon box 23 starts running the disc motor 3, which is normally idle.
  • the motor 3 is energised on a time-out which is arranged to be reset every time a coin is seen by detector 4. A time-out time of five sections is typical.
  • test 24 monitors whether a coin is detected by coin discriminator 6, test 25 determining the validity of the coin. If the result of the validity test is that the coin is not a valid coin then the rejection device 7 is operated by box 26. If the result of test 25 is yes, then the sum of the current amount of the variable 'VALUE' with the value of the coin just evaluated is compared with a preset maximum deposit amount 'MAXDEPOSIT' in test 27. If MAXDEPOSIT has not been exceeded, then the variable 'VALUE' is updated by adding on in box 28 the amount of the coin just evaluated.
  • This arrangement of the software avoids the need to operate the escrow doors so as to reject all of the coins in the escrow region 11; only the excess coins are rejected, and the rejection function is provided by reject pin 7.
  • test 29 When the motor has time out then the result of test 29 will be yes, and the next test 30 determines whether or not any coins at all have been passed into the escrow. If no coins have been allowed to pass to the escrow then return loop 31 is executed, and the device will revert to sitting again in loop 22 until more coins have been put into the hopper. If, on the other hand, the result of test 30 is no, then the variable 'VALUE' is compared in test 32 with a preset minimum total value of coins in the escrow 'MINDEPOSIT'. If the total value of coins passed to the escrow region is found by test 32 to be less then 'MINDEPOSIT' then the return door of the escrow is operated by box 33 to return all of the coins in the escrow to the user.
  • box 34 energises a display to the customer of the total value of coins in the escrow. The customer can then operate either return button 35 or deposit button 36.
