EXAMPLE Referring now to the drawings, Figure 1.2.3 shows a coin roll wrapping mechanism in three successive stages of operation.

Referring initially to FIG. 1, a pile of coins 10 having a predetermined height and circumference (having two ends and two opposing circular sides) is a buf fertube.
Packaging chamber C formed by housing 12 from 11
be put into. The support tube 11 is pivotally supported in the upper part of the housing 12 by a pair of diametrically opposed pins 13,14 which fit into recesses in its outer wall. As a result, the lower end of the tube 11 is placed in (1) a "load-bearing" position (see FIG. (2) the "load wrapping" position (shown in FIG. 3) in which the bottom of the tube 11 is open directly into the packaging chamber C. In the "load support" position, tube 11 receives a stack of counted coins 10 in preparation for the next wrapping operation. At the "load wrapping" position, the pile of coins 10 stacked on the support tube 11 falls into the packaging chamber C, and preparations are made for packaging.

Stack of coins 10 having a predetermined number of coins of a predetermined currency unit
can also be formed by any of a variety of coin counting and stacking mechanisms, such as those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,515.172. Such coin stacking mechanisms typically have a shutter that opens each time a new stack of coins 10 is desired to be placed into the wrapping mechanism. When the shutter opens, the pile of coins 10 falls into the support tube 11. Alternatively, a desired number of coins can be manually placed into the support tube 11.

After the coins in the support tube 11 fall into the packaging chamber C, the coins in the support tube 1
1 into its retracted or "load supporting" position, a rotating cam 16 with a smoothly rounded leading edge 17 contacts the outer wall of the tube 11 near its lower end; Press the lower end of tube 11 into its retracted position (see FIG. 2). Then, the outer edge of the cam 16 is connected to the packaging chamber C.
The tube 11 is held in its retracted position while the stack of coins 10 is being wrapped inside. When the tail edge 18 of the cam 16 passes over the tube 11, the spring 19 keeps the tube 11 in its advanced position.
That is, the cam 16 is moved to the "load wrapping position" (see FIG. 3). The relationship between the rotational movement of the cam 16 and the wrapping mechanism will be clear from the following description.

The stack of coins 10 placed in the packaging chamber C is located on a disk 20 extending radially outward from the bottom of the wrapping roller 21 adjacent to the packaging chamber C. The pile of coins 10 is supported laterally by a pair of play rollers 21a located in a recess in the wall of the packaging chamber C.
, 21b, a spring-loaded exit gate 22, and a wrapping roller 21. The pile of coins 10 is supported in the packaging chamber C in the above-described manner and freely rotates about its vertical axis. The cam 16 is attached to the top of a wrapping roller 21, and the wrapping roller 21 extends slightly above the top of the pile of coins 10.

A sheet of wrapping material 30, for example a plastic film or paper, is fed between the pile of coins 10 and the wrapping rollers 21, either by hand or by an automatic sheet feeding device. This packaging material sheet 30 is made of a flexible material, and its width is larger than the circumferential length of the stack of coins 10, and its vertical width L is at least as high as the stack of coins 10. One side of this packaging material 30,
That is, on the side facing the pile of coins 10, for example, the state of Tennessee,
N004351 manufactured by Can Do Company located in Necheville City.
A removable pressure-sensitive adhesive 31 such as film tape is applied. Other suitable adhesives include those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,418,120, which have good viscosity and shear properties, but have poor release adhesion to stainless steel. That is, the adhesive will quickly adhere to the outer surface of the stack of coins 10 and have sufficient shear strength to securely retain the coins within the packaging material 30 during handling, but without tearing the packaging material 30. The detachment adhesive is sufficiently weak that the packaging material 30 can be easily peeled off from the stack of coins 10 without leaving substantial adhesive residue on the coins. If desired, the packaging material 30 can be reused. Preferably, the application of adhesive 31 is continuous along the entire length and width of packaging material 30.

A wrapping roller 21 is used to press the packaging material 30 against the pile of coins IO while rotating the pile of coins 10.
An elastic rubber or foam polymer pad 23 is adhered to the outer surface of the holder. This elastic pad 23 does not extend over the entire circumference of the wrapping roller 21, but an open angle a is formed therein, within which a new wrapping material sheet 30 is connected to the roller 21 and the stack of coins with each rotation of the roller 21. It is inserted into the throat between 10 and 10. Then, when the leading edge of the elastic pad 23 contacts a new sheet of wrapping material 30, the pad 23 pushes the leading edge 32 of the wrapping material 30 away from the stack of coins 10.
Press against. Since the adhesive 31 is present on the side of the packaging material 30 facing the stack of coins 10, the packaging material 30 adheres to the stack of coins 10.

When the roller 21 and the pad 23 continuously rotate, the elastic pad 23 continuously presses the pile of coins 10 through the packaging material 30, so that the pile of coins 10 is rotated. When the stack of coins 10 rotates, the wrapping material sheet 30 follows the rotating surface of the stack of coins 10. Because the packaging material 3
This is because the zero adheres to the surface of the pile of coins 10, is pulled toward the pinching portion between the roller 21 and the pile of coins 10, and is continuously pressed against the pile of coins 10 by the elastic band 23. Thus, the wrapping material 30 is tightly wrapped around the coin stack 10 when the coin stack 10 is driven by the pad 23.

In the illustrated embodiment, the circumference of the pad 23 is only slightly longer than the circumference of the stack 10, so that only one layer of wrapping material 30 is wrapped around the main portion of the stack 10, and the tail edge of the wrapping material 30 is wrapped around the main portion of the stack 10. Only 33 overlaps and adheres to the first layer of packaging material 30. However, roller 21
It is also possible to make the diameter of the pad 23 and/or the circumference of the pad 23 longer so that two or more layers of the wrapping material 30 are wrapped around the stack of coins 10. Bad 2 if desired
3 is made long so as to be wound around the entire circumference of the roller 21, and the roller 21 is once separated from the pile of coins 10 at each rotation,
A new sheet of packaging material 30 can also be fed to the packaging mechanism.

The height of the elastic pad 23 is made slightly higher than the height of the pile of coins 10 so that the coins at both the upper and lower ends of the pile of coins 10 are securely fixed by the adhesive 31 near the both side edges 34 and 35 of the packaging material 30. so that If desired, the vertical width L of the packaging material 30 can be made slightly longer so that it can be folded over both the upper and lower ends of the pile of coins 10, but it is not possible to fold the packaging material 30 as required by current coin wrapping machines. No operation required. Because the coin is attached to the adhesive 31 on the packaging material 30
This is because it is retained within the packaging material 30 by.

When the tail edge of the elastic pad 23 exceeds the pile of coins 10,
The rotation of the pile of coins 10 stops. At this point, the packaging material sheet 30 is wrapped around the entire circumference of the pile of coins 10 and is removably adhered to the pile of coins 10. A pair of ejection pins 40,41 project slightly laterally from the wrapping roller 21 behind the tail edge of the elastic pad 23 for ejecting the wrapped coin roll from the wrapping mechanism. When these ejection pins 40.41 come into contact with the wrapped coin roll, they force the coin roll into the spring-loaded exit gate 22, thereby
2 is pushed open against the force of the spring, and the wrapped coin roll is ejected through the opened gate 22. At the same time that the ejection pins 40, 41 contact the coin roll, the shoulder 42 on the support disc 20 also contacts the wrapped coin roll to facilitate ejection of the coin roll from the wrapping mechanism. After the coin roll crosses gate 22, gate 22
The spring load acting on the gate 22 returns the gate 22 to its closed position.

The roller 21 is supported by a support plate 51 cantilevered from the bottom of the housing 12 in order to drive the packaging roller 2, the cam 16 attached to its upper end, and the support disc 2° attached to its lower end. It is fixed to a drive shaft 50 supported by a journal.

The drive shaft 50 also supports a drive pinion 52 which is driven by a continuous drive means, for example a toothed heald driven by an electric motor. If desired, drive shaft 50 can be driven directly by an electric motor.

FIG. 7 shows a partially wrapped coin roll, and the inner surface coated with adhesive 31 of the leading edge 32 of the packaging material 30 contacts the stack of coins 10 along the width direction of the stack of coins 10 and the packaging material 30 ( The surface of the packaging material 30 that faces the pile of coins 10 in the radial direction is herein referred to as the "inner" surface, and the surface opposite to the side that faces the pile of coins 10 in the radial direction is referred to as the "outer" surface. ). As shown in FIG. 8, in a wrapped coin roll, the adhesive 31 coated inner tail edge 33 of the wrapping material 30 overlaps the outer surface of the leading edge 32 and is bonded to the outer surface by the adhesive 31. Ru.

Adhesive 31 along both side edges 34° 35 of packaging material 30
The coated portion joins the coins at the ends of the pile of coins 10 and securely retains the coins within the wrapped coin roll. Therefore, the adhesive 31 applied portions near both side edges 34 and 35 must contain an amount of adhesive 31 that can support the coin. The adhesive 31 peels off cleanly so that the coin is releasably retained in the wrapping material 30 and removed from the wrapping material 30 by simply peeling and removing the wrapping material 30.
The coins are removed separately and cleanly from the
0 can be extracted cleanly.

Advantages of the Invention As detailed above, the present invention can easily form a wrapped coin roll without using a complicated guide mechanism to control the packaging material during the coin packaging operation. Further, the pile of coins can be easily taken out from the packaging material.
