Definitions

  • Coin counters of the class referred to are known, but are usually costly and complex if they are accurate; and many such devices as proposed heretofore, if they are dependable at all, are incapable of high-speed operation, or become inaccurate when fast coin delivery is attempted, or as a result of wear, or in handling thin, worn, and bent COll'lS.
  • the coin-counting operations are essentially mechanical rather than electrical, which is to say that the novel machine does not rely primarily upon electrical pulses caused by switch means directly actuated in some way by the coins themselves, which is deemed a common source of trouble in prior devices arising from Weak or fluttering coin-counting signals where the coin itself, or a switch operated by passage of a coin, is relied upon to produce such counting signal.
  • the novel, selectively pre-set coin-counting mechanim comprises, in cooperative combination, a motor-driven coin-feeding disc and means mounting the same to rotate in an inclined plane, the disc having an annular ledge spaced from its rim such that coins lodged upon said ledge will project slightly beyond said rim, there being a coin-feeding hopper at the lower region of the disc, and the disc having a succession of spaced pins in its face between said rim and the ledge, such that as the disc rotates, coins are picked up from the hopper between pins and carried on the ledge to the top or zenith of the orbital travel of the disc, to pass beneath a coin-sensing means comprising a counting lever having a roller engaged by such coin to rock the lever as the coin passes therebeneath, from which point the coin is guided laterally free of the annular ledge for ejection into a desired receiving means, such guided coin movement being achieved by a guide or track means leading laterally away from the disc ledge and including a
  • the apparatus is further characterized by the provision of a resetting circuit means cooperable with the step-bystep switching means and the pre-selecting switches for operation such that the step-by-step switching means is restored to a starting position as an initial operation preliminary to each counting operation.
  • the apparatus is further characterized by the provision of a coin kick-out means including a kick-out lever ar- 3,273,571 Patented Sept. 20, 1966 ice ranged adjacent the rim of the disc just ahead of the coin counting lever means and normally projecting into the path of a coin advancing toward said lever means and effective to kick or deflect such advancing coin into space to fall back into the hopper, this arrangement being provided to prevent any false count which might arise from momentum of the'disc and motor drive means after the motor is shut off, the arrangement being such that an electromagnetic device is connected with the kick-out or deflector lever to be energized concurrently with the motor so that such lever will be withdrawn from coin-deflecting position so long as the motor continues to be energized, but will be spring-urged to fall back into deflecting position instantly on deenergization of the disc motor, and thereby deflect any coin at that position back into the hopper.
  • a coin kick-out means including a kick- 3,273,571 Patented Sept. 20, 1966 ice ranged adjacent
  • the apparatus is still further characterized by the provision of a cut-out switch associated with the motor circuit and operable to open the electrical feed circuit for the motor and associated parts if the load on the disc motor becomes high enough to cause the motor to overheat.
  • FIGURE 1 depicts an exploded perspective arrange- :ment of essential coin feeding and counting components and certain circuit components and connections comprising the control circuit;
  • FIGURE 2 depicts parts of the counting lever and the kick-out lever as viewed from the top looking down upon FIGURE 1.
  • the coin feeding disc 10 is journalled to rotate about the spindle 11 and to be supported at an inclination to the vertical by suitable chassis means indicated schematically, so that the disc lies in a plane making an angle of about 30 with the vertical.
  • the disc rotates past a scoop or hopper 12 resting on chassis fingers 13 and held yieldingly in normal position close to the disc by the springs 14, 14 on opposite sides thereof which permit the scoop to yield outwardly away from the disc in case the coins become packed in a tendency to jam and stop the rotation of the disc, such action occurring by rocking on fulcrum cleats 19 against rim portion 13A of the scoop seating casting which includes the fingers 13.
  • annular coin-supporting ledge 15 In the face of the disc is formed an annular coin-supporting ledge 15, so spaced below the periphery or rim 10A of the disc that coins 17 of a given denomination will stand slightly above such rim, as at 17X; and between said ledge and rim are positioned, at intervals somewhat greater than the width of such coins, a succession of pins 18 which respectively lie behind the edge of each coin picked up from the hopper and carry the coin on said ledge upwardly into and through the zenith of the orbital path taken by such pins.
  • Means for transferring the coins from the ledge 15 into a lateral exit or ejecting guideway comprising a guide or track member 20 having a knife-edge end portion 21 merging closely into the path of the ledge 15 in such manner that the coins will switch from the ledge onto the guide track under continued pushing by one of the pins 18 and be expelled into space at 27 for collection in any suitable container.
  • the guide track means adjoining the knife edge thereof has an angled coin-supporting or riding surface portion 22 pitched so as to cause the coins to hug the disc and frame parts and prevents the coin from slipping off the track.
  • a shield plate 23 may be provided to complete an exit for the guideway for discharge of the coin sidewise into space. See FIGURE 2.
  • Means for counting the coins as they depart from the ledge comprises a counting lever 24 pivoted as at 25 on suitable parts of the chassis or mounting base for the disc (not shown in detail) so that one end of such lever overlies the exposed upper edge portion of a coin moving on the aforesaid guide track means, there being a coinengagingroller 26 j'ournalled on the end of such lever and having a conical shape of about 15 pitch with the widest part of the roller outermost of the disc so that the upper and lower edge portions of the coin passing therebeneath will in effect be caught between the angled conical roller and the angled riding surface 22 of the guide track, the projecting portions 17X of the coin standing above the rim of the disc causing the counting lever to be positively rocked upwardly as the coin passes along the guideway for ejection.
  • the innermost rim of the hopper has a somewhat conical flare, as at 12F, FIGURE 1, which forms a coincollecting pocket 16 at the lower region of the carrier disc so that coins tend constantly to collect in said pocket and to work gravitationally in between the pins 18 owing to the 30 angular attitude of the carrier and consequent pitch of the hopper as indicated.
  • Means for accumulating and totalizing the count of coins actuating the counting lever comprises any suitable forrn of stepping or ratchet wheel 30 driving rotary switch contactors 56 against a return spring means 32, the gain of the wheel being held for example by a releasable holding pawl 33 adapted to be withdrawn from the ratchet teeth responsive to energization of a resetting coil or solenoid 80 to free the wheel for return to a starting position, the wheel being advanced step-by-step from said starting position by each coin counted through the agency of a stepping pawl 37 acting in the ratchet teeth of said wheel and drivingly connected with the coin-sensing or counting lever means 24, 26 through a spring-relief coupling consisting of a loose fit of the end portion 24A of the counting lever in an oversize slot 38 of a link 38A, and a compression spring 39 on the link pressing against said end portion 24A of the counting lever in the slot to take up the looseness such that the driving effort of the
  • a coin kick-out means comprising deflecting or kick-out lever 40v pivoted as at 41 on a suitable bracket 42 supported by whatever chassis means is employed,
  • the kick-out lever is so positioned that a portion 40X of its edge is angled to overlie the path of the upper edges of the exposed edge portions 17X of the coins approaching the same in advancing toward the counting lever, such that if the kick-out lever is inits normal, spring-urged deflecting position, the edge portions 40X will engage the coin and by a cam action dislodge it from the annular ledge to fall into space and back into the hopper.
  • Means for withdrawing the kick-out lever from said normal deflecting position so as to permit free passage of coins to the counting lever and exit comprises an electromagnetic solenoid 65 having its plunger 46 drivingly connected as at 47 with a crank extension 41 on the kickout lever, the coil of the solenoid being connected in the operating circuit for disc motor 68 such that when this motor is energized the solenoid will likewise be energized and the kick-out lever will be held in withdrawn or nondeflecting position,
  • the solenoid 65 will also be deenergized and the deflecting or kickout lever 40 will instantly be moved by its spring 43 into the deflecting position in the path of the coins and deflect any approaching coin or any coin located in its path back into the hopper and thus prevent its ever reaching the counting means.
  • FIGURE 1 The manner of pre selecting the number of coins to be delivered is shown in FIGURE 1 in the circuit connections for the disc motor, the solenoid, the counting switch means and a desired number of selecting or order switches 50 including contacts 50A, 50B, 50C, 50D, etc. and respectively representing selections of 2, 6, l0 and 20 coins of whatever denomination the machine is designed to handle.
  • the remaining motor terminal '66 connects via a branch 60A of the power supply conductor 60 through a normally closed cut-out switch 70 associated with the disc motor and preferably taking the form of a thermostatic switch which will open when the temperature of the motor winding rises above a predetermined value corresponding to the overloading of the motor when the same has become stalled due to a jam-up of coins in the hopper or between the hopper and carrier disc.
  • a normally closed cut-out switch 70 associated with the disc motor and preferably taking the form of a thermostatic switch which will open when the temperature of the motor winding rises above a predetermined value corresponding to the overloading of the motor when the same has become stalled due to a jam-up of coins in the hopper or between the hopper and carrier disc.
  • the coin deflecting solenoid 65 will have its energizing circuit completed via conductor 66A, and the cut-out switch 70 to branch power conductor 60A, so that the solenoid 65 will pivot the kick-out lever 40 into the dottedline position shown in FIGURE 1 and the motor will drive the disc until ten coins have passed beneath the counting lever roller 26, thereby stepping the ratchet wheel 30 once for each such coin through the intermediary of the pawl means 37.
  • the movable contact element 56 When the ratchet wheel has completed the tenth step, the movable contact element 56 will have run off the stationary contact segment 51C, thus disconnecting the application of power at junction 57B, and therefore removing power from the solenoid 65, the motor 68 and the relay coil 58, as a result of which the motor stops at once, and because the disc is driven through a train of reduction gears 69 it likewise tends to stop instantly; but as a safeguard, the deenergization of the solenoid 65 permits the spring 43 to move the coin kick-out lever 40 back into the full-line position shown inFIGURES 1 and 2, and should any coin be disposed in its path, tfor example the coin C in FIGURE 2, such coin would be deflected from the disc to fall back into the hopper.
  • the movable relay contact 61 will fall back and close circuit with contact 62, thereby applying power from a contact 50CX associated with the selector contacts 506 which were previously operated to select a count of ten coins, and which must remain closed until reset in the manner presently described, power from supply conductor 54 is accordingly present at relay contact 61, so that when the relay drops back on stoppage of the motor as aforesaid, power will be applied via conductor 74, the now closed reset contacts 75, 76, conductor 77 to one terminal of a reset solenoid coil 80, the remaining terminal of which connects via conductor 78 to the branch power supply conductor 60A, so that the coil 80 is energized to attract its plunger '81 connected by suitable linking means designated by the dash-dot line 82 to reset the several selecting switches, including the one operated in the foregoing example to close contacts 500, 50OX to restore the selecting switch means to its normal condition in
  • the holding pawl 33 for the counting switch is withdrawn from the ratchet teeth and the ratchet wheel 30 is turned quickly back to its normal starting or zero position by the spring means 32, it being observed that the rotary or movable counting switch contactor has a projection 73 bearing against the reset contact 76 to disengage it from its companion contact 75, thereby disconnecting power from the resetting solenoid 80 as a result of the resetting of the rotary contact means 56 to its starting position; and since the contact cannot be stepped away from such starting position without another operation of the selecting switch means and the relay means 58, the coil 80 will not be again energized until another counting cycle has been completed to drop out the relay and close its contacts 61, 62 while one 0 f the selecting switches remains in operated condition.
  • the electric motor 68 may drive the coin carrier or transport disc at a preferred speed of about 20 revolutions per minute; and the usual disc will have about twenty to twenty-four coin seating or receiving stations or pockets defined by the ledge and pins 18, depending upon the size of coin to be handled, so that one coin or at least one pocket will pass the counting station and the coin sensing means 24, 26 about every one-sixth second, or at a rate of about 360 coins per minute.
  • Shingling In which the coins tend to pile one upon another but slightly ofiset in 6 the manner of shingles lapped one upon another; such a condition builds up a thickness which is wedge-shaped in the pocket 16, but will be quickly broken up by movement of the disc and pins 18 and the automatic relief afforded by outward movement of the conical rim 12F when the pile-up grows large enough.
