Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the mechanism and simplify the control substance of the mechanism by providing a coin receiver, which directly receives the accumulated coins by an accumulating device and guides these coins to a packaging device, between the accumulating device and packaging device. CONSTITUTION:Coins which were thrown in an upper hopper 10 are sent to a rotary disk 14 by a conveyor 13. The rotary disk 14 horizontally sends out the coils one by one to a sorting device 15 by making a centrifugal force work on the coins. The coins pass through slits on a sorting path 15A, and only a specific type of coins are sent to an accumulating device 16, and different types of coins other than the specific type are sent to an exclusion box 17. On the sorting device 15, a calculating sensor, which calculates the coins thrown in the accumulating device 16, is provided. When the calculated value of the calculating sensor becomes e.g. 50, the accumulated coins are delivered io a coin receiver 18, which ascends and waits under the mentioned accumulated coins. The accumulated coins, which were delivered to the coin receiver 18, are sent to a packaging device 19 which is located below, and are packaged by the packaging device 19, and sent to a lift 21, and then thrown in a roll box 22.
