Actuellement, les distributeurs de rouleaux de pièces de monnaie sont généralement fabriqués sous la forme d'une trémie, qui contiennent lesdits rouleaux de pièces. Le problème essentiel de ce type de structure provient du fait du coincement, entre des rouleaux adjacents tombant par gravité, qui peut survenir. Ceci rend ces distributeurs rapidement inutilisables.Currently, coin roll dispensers are generally manufactured in the form of a hopper, which contain said coin rolls. The main problem with this type of structure comes from the fact that jamming between adjacent rollers falling by gravity can occur. This makes these dispensers quickly unusable.

Le brevet US-A-4.469.245 décrit un automate bancaire qui distribue des rouleaux de pièces de monnaie. Ces rouleaux sont disposés en vrac dans un conteneur, les rouleaux sont acheminés vers la sortie du distributeur par des chemins de roulement.

Le document DE-C-4.101.809 propose un automate destiné à la distribution de rouleaux de pièces de monnaie. Cet automate comporte plusieurs puits dans lesquels les rouleaux de pièces sont stockés les uns sur les autres. La libération est due à un transporteur de la totalité des puits rangée en un groupe et leur déplacement s'effectue le long d'une glissière, alors le rouleau de pièces, situé le plus bas d'un puits du canal de sortie tombe dans un casier de sortie. Lorsque la totalité du premier puits est vide, le transporteur se déplace pour la reprise des prochains rouleaux de pièces sous le deuxième puits. Pour la totalité des puits, il n'y a qu'un seul transporteur qui soit nécessaire. Un second groupe de puits pour des rouleaux de pièces d'une autre valeur fonctionne avec un autre transporteur. Les deux transporteurs sont mobiles le long de la même glissière.Document DE-C-4.101.809 proposes an automatic machine intended for the distribution of rolls of coins. This automaton has several wells in which the rolls of coins are stored on top of each other. The release is due to a transporter of all the wells arranged in a group and their movement takes place along a slide, then the roll of coins, located at the bottom of a well of the outlet channel, falls into an outlet bin. When the entire first well is empty, the transporter moves to take up the next rolls of coins under the second well. For all of the wells, there is only one carrier required. A second group of wells for rolls of coins of another value works with another conveyor. Both carriers are movable along the same slide.

Les rouleaux 2 sont disposés comme cela est bien représenté aux figures 5 et 6 avec leur axe longitudinal en position perpendiculaire par rapport au plan vertical de la roue 9.The rollers 2 are arranged as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 with their longitudinal axis in a position perpendicular to the vertical plane of the wheel 9.

Ce positionnement est facilité par la présence de logements rayonnants 10a ou 10b qui sont disposés tout autour de l'axe de rotation 11 du barillet 9.This positioning is facilitated by the presence of radiating housings 10a or 10b which are arranged all around the axis of rotation 11 of the barrel 9.

De plus, chaque barillet 9 est compris à l'intérieur d'un carénage circulaire 12 qui épouse parfaitement la forme externe du barillet 9 à l'exception de deux fenêtres pratiquées en partie supérieure 13 mais également en partie inférieure 14.In addition, each barrel 9 is included inside a circular fairing 12 which perfectly matches the external shape of the barrel 9 with the exception of two windows made in the upper part 13 but also in the lower part 14.

La fenêtre supérieure 13 ayant pour but de permettre le chargement selon la flèche F1 de la figure 4 alors que la fenêtre inférieure 14 permet la distribution des rouleaux de pièces de monnaie 2 selon la flèche F2.The upper window 13 intended to allow the loading according to arrow F1 in FIG. 4 while the lower window 14 allows the distribution of rolls of coins 2 according to arrow F2.

En face de la fenêtre 14, est présent un godet 15 permettant la distribution des rouleaux 2 présents à l'intérieur du logement rayonnant 10a ou 10b situés en vis à vis.In front of the window 14, there is a cup 15 allowing the distribution of the rollers 2 present inside the radiating housing 10a or 10b located opposite.

C'est ce qui est bien représenté à la figure 5.This is what is well represented in Figure 5.

Dans cette figure, les rouleaux de pièces par simple gravité ont tendance à sortir à l'extérieur du barillet 9 ainsi que du carénage 12 grâce à la fenêtre inférieur 14.In this figure, the rollers of parts by simple gravity tend to exit outside the barrel 9 as well as the fairing 12 thanks to the lower window 14.

De ce fait, et à cause de la taille limitée du godet 15, un seul des rouleaux 2 va pouvoir prendre place à l'intérieur du godet 15.Therefore, and because of the limited size of the bucket 15, only one of the rollers 2 will be able to take place inside the bucket 15.

Ce déplacement se fait selon la flèche F4.This movement is made according to arrow F4.

Bien entendu, pour arriver à ce résultat, le godet 15 a effectué une rotation F3 selon son axe 21 grâce à des moyens de commande 19 qui seront détaillés plus loin.Of course, to achieve this result, the bucket 15 has performed a rotation F3 along its axis 21 through control means 19 which will be detailed later.

L'ensemble de la roue 9 et du carénage 12 sont compris à l'intérieur d'un tiroir vertical 16 qui comporte lui aussi également deux fenêtres 17 et 18 qui coïncident avec les fenêtres 13 et 14 du carénage circulaire 12 de la roue 9.The assembly of the wheel 9 and the fairing 12 are included inside a vertical drawer 16 which also also has two windows 17 and 18 which coincide with the windows 13 and 14 of the circular fairing 12 of the wheel 9.

Les moyens de commande 19 du godet 15 ainsi que les moyens de rotation pas à pas 20 de la roue 9 sont également compris à l'intérieur du tiroir 16.The control means 19 of the bucket 15 as well as the step-by-step rotation means 20 of the wheel 9 are also included inside the drawer 16.

Comme on peut le voir à la figure 8, le nombre de ces tiroirs 16 peut être variable de sorte que l'on peut placer à l'intérieur d'un même automate bancaire 1 un certain nombre de roues verticales parallèles les unes par rapport aux autres.As can be seen in FIG. 8, the number of these drawers 16 can be variable so that a certain number of vertical wheels parallel to each other can be placed inside the same bank machine 1 other.

Comme on le voit aux figures 1 et 4, les logements rayonnants 10a et 10b sont alternativement longs et courts de sorte qu'un maximum de rouleaux de pièces de monnaie 2 peuvent être stockés par roue 9.As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 4, the radiating housings 10a and 10b are alternately long and short so that a maximum of rolls of coins 2 can be stored per wheel 9.

Bien entendu, la largeur d'un logement rayonnant 10a ou 10b correspond au diamètre des rouleaux de pièces 2 qui y sont stockées.Of course, the width of a radiating housing 10a or 10b corresponds to the diameter of the rolls of parts 2 which are stored there.

Le diamètre des rouleaux 2 est donc sensiblement inférieur à la largeur de chaque logement rayonnant 10a ou 10b, ceci afin de permettre le coulissement par simple gravité que ce soit au chargement selon la flèche F1 ou à la distribution selon la flèche F2.The diameter of the rollers 2 is therefore appreciably less than the width of each radiating housing 10a or 10b, this in order to allow sliding by simple gravity, whether at loading according to arrow F1 or at distribution according to arrow F2.

Les moyens de commande 19 présentés aux figures 5 et 6 sont constitués par d'une part, le godet 15 dont la partie concave permet comme on l'a vu précédemment la réception d'un seul rouleau de pièces de monnaie 2 à la fois.The control means 19 presented in FIGS. 5 and 6 consist of, on the one hand, the bucket 15, the concave part of which allows, as has been seen previously, the reception of a single roll of coins 2 at a time.

D'autre part, son axe de rotation 21 est mû en rotation à l'aide d'un moyen tel qu'un moteur électrique 22 ou autres.On the other hand, its axis of rotation 21 is moved in rotation using a means such as an electric motor 22 or the like.

Enfin, et dernier élément des moyens de commande 19, une bavette 23 vient prolonger l'un des bords du godet 15.Finally, and last element of the control means 19, a flap 23 comes to extend one of the edges of the bucket 15.

Cette bavette 23 a une forme de section de cercle dont le centre est l'axe de rotation 21 du godet 15, de sorte que ledit godet 15 est mû en rotation selon la flèche F5, afin de libérer le godet de pièces 2 selon la flèche F6.This flap 23 has a shape of a circular section, the center of which is the axis of rotation 21 of the bucket 15, so that said bucket 15 is rotated according to arrow F5, in order to release the bucket of parts 2 according to the arrow F6.

Le ou les rouleaux 2 encore présents dans le logement rayonnant 10a et 10b en regard de la fenêtre inférieure 14 sont conservés à l'intérieur dudit logement 10a ou 10b.The roller or rollers 2 still present in the radiating housing 10a and 10b facing the lower window 14 are kept inside said housing 10a or 10b.

Les moyens de commande 19 sont présents à l'intérieur d'un des angles du tiroir 16 et se trouvent donc compris entre la face interne du tiroir 16 et la face externe du carénage 12 qui enserre la roue 9.The control means 19 are present inside one of the angles of the drawer 16 and are therefore located between the internal face of the drawer 16 and the external face of the fairing 12 which encloses the wheel 9.

De la même façon, les moyens de rotation pas à pas 20 sont coincés dans un des angles formé par le tiroir 16 et leur espace est limité par la présence du carénage 12.Likewise, the step-by-step rotation means 20 are wedged in one of the angles formed by the slide 16 and their space is limited by the presence of the fairing 12.

La position de ces moyens de rotation pas à pas 20 n'est pas limitée à un angle précis de l'automate 1 ; cet angle peut être situé en position inférieure ou supérieure, alors que pour les moyens de commande 19 une position inférieure est recommandée, afin de faciliter la sortie des rouleaux 2 par gravité.The position of these stepwise rotation means 20 is not limited to a precise angle of the machine 1; this angle can be located in the lower or upper position, while for the control means 19 a lower position is recommended, in order to facilitate the exit of the rollers 2 by gravity.

Ces moyens de rotation pas à pas 20 comprennent en outre un moteur 24 ainsi qu'un moyen de transmission comme un engrenage 25 comme cela est représenté sur la figure 7 qui transmet le mouvement de rotation du moteur 24 au barillet de distribution 9.These stepping rotation means 20 further comprise a motor 24 as well as a transmission means such as a gear 25 as shown in FIG. 7 which transmits the rotational movement of the motor 24 to the distribution barrel 9.

Cette transmission de mouvement s'effectue à l'aide d'une roue dentée 26 présente au niveau des moyens de rotation 20 qui forme avec une roue dentée 27, présente au niveau du barillet 9 comme cela est représenté aux figures 2 et 7, l'engrenage 25.This movement transmission is effected by means of a toothed wheel 26 present at the level of the rotation means 20 which forms with a toothed wheel 27, present at the level of the barrel 9 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, l gear 25.

La roue dentée 26 tourne selon la flèche F7 ce qui entraîne un mouvement selon la flèche F8 de la roue dentée 27.The toothed wheel 26 rotates according to arrow F7 which causes a movement according to arrow F8 of the toothed wheel 27.

Ce mouvement est un mouvement qui se fait pas à pas de sorte que l'ouverture extérieure de chaque logement rayonnant 10a ou 10b se présente tour à tour au niveau de la fenêtre inférieure 14 et ensuite au niveau de la fenêtre supérieure 13.This movement is a movement that is done step by step so that the external opening of each radiating housing 10a or 10b is presented in turn at the level of the lower window 14 and then at the level of the upper window 13.

D'autres éléments peuvent se trouver sur la face avant de l'automate 1, tels qu'un panneau d'instruction 28 pour faciliter l'usage dudit automate 1, ou un monnayeur 29 pour rendre la monnaie.Other elements can be found on the front face of the machine 1, such as an instruction panel 28 to facilitate the use of said machine 1, or a coin mechanism 29 for making change.
