Abstract

A coin testing device comprising two parts (2, 4) which in an operating, closed, condition of the device define between them a narrow space (6) in which coins travel edgewise, and one or more coin sensor elements (12, 12', 14, 14', 16, 16') mounted on at least one of the parts, the two parts being capable of relative movement apart from each other for access to the space between them, characterised in that the two parts are provided with location-defining features (20, 20', 22, 22', 24, 24') at three positions which are spaced apart to form a triangle, that when the two parts are being brought together from their apart position they are sufficiently displaceable relative to each other to be able to adopt final closed positions determined only by contact between the location-defining features, and that means (28, 56) is provided for urging the parts towards each other at a position within said triangle. Accurate location of the two parts relative to each other is achieved despite manufacturing tolerances.

Claims

Two parts, which are spaced apart from each other and mounted on at least one of the parts, to form a narrower space therebetween, in which the coin stands and rolls in the working closed state of the tester, and is spaced apart from each other for access to the space therebetween In a coin inspector comprising the above coin sensor element, the two portions provide a position forming display member at three positions spaced apart from each other to form a triangle, wherein the two portions are positioned when they are brought together in close proximity from the spaced positions. And a means for pushing the parts towards each other at a position within the triangle, the device being sufficiently displaceable relative to each other so as to adopt a final closed position determined only by the contacts between the formation indicator members.

The method of claim 1, wherein the contact portion does not allow relative movement of the closed portion in the first position, and allows the relative movement of the portion in the second position along only one side that is parallel to the plane of space and extends toward one position. And permitting relative movement of the portion at the third position in a plane parallel to the plane of space.

3. The coin inspector of claim 2, wherein the one axis traverses one position.

4. The position forming display member according to claim 2 or 3, wherein the position forming display member is in a recess of one part joined by the protrusion on the other part in one position, and one part joined by the protrusion on the other part in the second position. And in a plane that is in parallel recesses on one portion contacted by the contact surface of the other portion at the third position.

The coin inspector of claim 3 or 4, wherein a coin track is provided to guide the coin along a predetermined passageway in a narrow space.

6. The coin inspector of claim 5, wherein the coin track extends in one direction parallel to the plane of space.

7. The coin inspector of claim 6, wherein the coin track is on one portion and at least one sensor element is mounted on the other portion.

8. The coin inspector of claim 7, wherein the one or more sensor elements are responsive to the position of the coin portion relative to the sensor element in a direction perpendicular to the coin track.

The hinge mechanism of claim 1, wherein the hinge mechanism is capable of moving the part in pivotal motion, supporting one part against the other when away, and loosely coupled to one part to allow relative displacement when closed together. Coin checker, characterized in that.

10. The coin inspector of claim 9, wherein the hinge mechanism comprises a hinge arm pivotally mounted to one portion and loosely coupled to the other portion.

11. The hinge arm of claim 10, wherein the hinge arm extends to a position in a triangle on the loosely coupled portion, the position being provided with a bearing surface connecting the portion, wherein the biasing means deflects the hinge arm so that the bearing surface is another portion. And coincides with the portion to be pushed toward the coin.

The coin inspector of claim 11, wherein the hinge arm is mounted at one end and has a bearing surface at the other end, and loosely coupled to the other part at a position between the ends.

The coin inspector according to claim 11 or 12, wherein the biasing means is a tension spring having one end connected to the hinge arm mounted portion and the other end connected to the hinge arm.

14. The coin inspector of claim 13, wherein the tension spring is moved on the central portion when the two portions are completely spaced apart to space apart.

15. The coin checker according to any one of claims 9 to 14, wherein the two parts have a hinge mechanism fitted thereto, and by being loosely coupled to the hinge mechanism, the coin inspector selects both parts by selecting the portion in which the hinge mechanism is fitted. A coin checker, which can be adopted as a fixed part and an open part.

The apparatus of any one of the preceding claims, comprising one or more sensors comprising a pair of opposing sensor elements located in one portion and the other portion, one for each other, cooperating in response to coin characteristics of the space between the sensor elements and the space. Coin checker.

The method of claim 1, wherein during operation, the coin moves in confined space in contact with the wall of the one portion and the one or more sensor elements are adapted to respond to the characteristics of the coin when the coin contacts the wall. A coin checker, characterized in that located in different parts.
