Definitions

  • This invention is directed to apparatus which receives rolls of wrapped coins and automatically supplies a certain predetermined number of such rolls to a machine which boxes a greater predetermined number of rolls for delivery to the consumer.
  • the apparatus includes a coin chute, an automatically controlled coin gate and a piston actuated pusher member to push a predetermined number of rolls of coins into a boxer after they have been released by the gate.
  • This application is directed generally to the field of coin handling but in particular to apparatus to automatically supply and box a predetermined number of wrapped rolls of coins.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide coin handling apparatus which will box rolls of wrapped coins at an acceptable production rate without excessive wear and tear on the machine.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a coin handling machine which will efficiently and economically box rolls of wrapped coins at an acceptable production rate.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the wrapped coin roll delivery apparatus showing the coin chute full of rolls of coins;
  • FIG. 2 is an end view of FIG. 1 showing the coin gate down
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the wrapped coin chute and boxing apparatus showing the delivery chute empty and the coin accumulator full;
  • FIG. 4 is an end view of the coin chute of FIG. 3 showing the coin gate open;
  • FIG. 5 is a top view of the coin chute and boxing appagatus with a portion of the coin chute broken away;
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic representation of the control system.
  • the new and improved apparatus consists basically of a coin chute 10, a coin package pusher 12, a coin package accumulator 14 and a filled box conveyor 16.
  • the coin chute 10 consists of an inclined entrance chute section 18 and a horizontal delivery chute section 20.
  • the inclined entrance chute section 18 is inclined at an angle of approximately 45 with the horizontal delivery section 20 to provide proper flow for the rolls of wrapped coins 22.
  • Mounted underneath and adjacent the top of the chute section 18 is a microswitch 24 which has an actuator arm 26 which projects through an opening 28 in the bottom of chute section 18 for reasons hereinafter explained.
  • the inclined chute section is so designed that the sixth roll of coins in the inclined section 18 will contact the microswitch actuator arm 26 when there are five rolls of coins 22 in the horizontal chute section 20.
  • a coin gate 30 is provided to hold the coins 22 in the chute 10 until it is desired to deliver them into the accumulator 14.
  • Coin gate 30 consists of a plurality of fingers 32 which are connected to support member 36. Support member 36 is in turn connected to plunger arm 38 of piston 40' which is controlled by valve 42.
  • Coin package pusher 12 is a U-shaped member (FIG. 5) with elongated portions 44 and 46 forming the legs of the U. The ends of the portions 44 and 46 towards the accumulator 14 are chamfered or tapered for reasons hereinafter explained.
  • Pusher 12 is actuated by flanged plate member 48 attached thereto by suitable means such as screws 50.
  • the flanged portion 52 of the plate member 48 is suitably connected to the end of plunger rod 54 of double acting cylinder 56 secured to the underside of plate member 58.
  • the action of double acting cylinder 56 is controlled by a double solenoid actuated four-way valve 60.
  • the pusher 12 slides on the bottom of chute portion 20 and is guided by a rod member 64 projecting at one end through an opening 66 in the base of the pusher 12 and secured to the plate member 58 at 68.
  • the accumulator 14 and the conveyor 16 work together to box the wrapped rolls of coins from the chute.
  • the accumulator 14 includes three microswitches 70, 72 and 74 for reasons explained later, a platen member 76 to support rolls of coins and a ram member 78 to ram rolls of coins into the box 80 on the conveyor 16 when the accumulator 14 is filled with the desired number of rolls of coins.
  • the microswitch 24 will be held closed to energize the coil 82 to actuate the time delay switch 84.
  • the switch 84 will pull in and energize the coil 87 to shift the four-way valve 66 to supply air to the left hand side of the double acting cylinder to cause the plunger 54 to move towards the right against the five rolls of coins in the horizontal chute section 20.
  • microswitch 86 After the pusher has moved a short predetermined distance the microswitch 86 will be released from contact with the pusher and move to the position where it energizes the solenoid coil 88 to actuatelithe three-way valve 42 to raise the coin gate 30.
  • the pusher 12 then continues its stroke and pushes the five rolls of coins 22 ahead'of it onto-the platen 76 in'the accumulator 14.
  • the first roll of coins into the accumulator actnates microswitch 72 which in turn actuates the drive for platen pusher rod 90 to raise the platen in the upward direction. Looking now to-FIG.
  • a pair of spring loaded support members 92 which are located above the top of the horizontal chute section so thatas the platen 76 with five rolls of coins I therein moves upwardly they will act against the underside of support members 92 and swing them against the side of the accumulator against the bias of their springs (not shown). Once the plat n 76 has cleared the support members they will move downwardly to once again assume a horizontal position. Since the platen 76 is narrower than the distance between the support members 92, the rolls of coins in the down stroke will remain on the support members 92 While the platen 76 returns to the bottom position as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the microswitch 70 When the accumulator 14 is full as shown in FIG. 3 the microswitch 70 will be energized on the upstroke of the platen 76 by contact of the upper layer of coin rolls 22 and the ram 78 (FIG. 5) will be activated to push all the rolls into the box 80 on the conveyor 16. The conveyor 16 will then remove the box 80 which is filled with rolls of coins 22.
  • tapered or chamfered surfaces 100 on the nose of the pusherlegs 44 and 46 tend to block ofi the six rolls of coins in the inclined chute section 18 very soon after the pusher 12 has been actuated and thereby prevent additional rolls of coins from entering the horizontal chute section 20.
  • the number of rolls of coins is so selected in relation to the depth of the accumulator 14 so that if less than the predetermined number of rolls are in the horizontal chute section 2% the microswitch 72 will then not be actuated and the platen will not rise, thereby preventing the boxing of an incorrect.
