Definitions

  • This disclosure is directed to apparatus to automatically count and bag a predetermined number of rolls of coins.
  • the apparatus includes an automatically controlled diverter which after the detection of a predetermined number of coins is rotated to divert rolls of coins to a new position so that the bagging operation is substantially continuous.
  • Machines to automatically bag rolls of coins have been used in the industry for a number of years. These machines normally bagged a predetermined number of rolls of coins and then were stopped to remove the bag of coins. Then the machine was restarted and the operation repeated. These machines dropped the rolls of coins into the bags in random manner with no series attempt to orient the rolls of coins to provide a compact arrangement. This resulted in some manipulation by the operator to properly orient the rolls of coins prior to closing of the bag.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an auto matic coin bagging machine which operates substantially continuously to orient rolls of coins and bag them in a compact manner.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of the improved coin bagger with parts thereof broken away;
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view of the coin chute and reciprocating undulated coin platform
  • FIG. 3 is a section view taken on line 3-3 in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a an enlarged side cross-sectional view of the coin roll platfrom as shown in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic control diagram of the coin bagger control circuit.
  • coin bag 34 into which a pre-determined number of coin rolls 10 are delivered by the coin platform 28 in a manner 3,570,212 Patented Mar. 16, 1971 'ice hereinafter described.
  • Coin bag 34 is suitably supported by a support member 35 which is secured in position by struts 37.
  • a plate 39 is pivotally mounted to the support member 3-5 to prevent the coin rolls 10 from pushing the bag 34 off the chute 30 or 32.
  • deflector 22 is rotably mounted on a shaft 36 which projects through the bottom of the upper chute portion 14 and has a rotary solenoid 38 connected thereto which is also mounted to the bottom of the upper chute portion 14 by suitable bracket 40.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 the deflector is shown in solid lines in a position to divert coin rolls 10 into the right hand chute portion.
  • the rotary solenoid is deenergized to rotate the deflector 22 to the dotted line position shown in FIG. 2 and the succeeding roll of coins will then be diverted into the lower coin chute 26 for transfer to the coin chute 32 by the coin platform 28.
  • the coin platform 28 is reciprocated continuously in a horizontal position when filling each coin bag 34 with coin rolls 10.
  • the upper surface of the platform is undulated to provide a series of U-shaped indentations 40 so that a coin roll will lay substantially straight therein so that they will be supplied to the coin chutes 30 and 32 in aligned position.
  • the coin platform 28 is reciprocated by a linkage member 42 which provides slow forward and quick return motion such as that in a swinging block linkage. This motion is desired so that the coin rolls 10 will be pushed into the chute 30 or 32 slowly but at the same time the platform will return rapidly for the next coin roll.
  • a pin member 44 projects through the coin platform 28 and is slidably held in the slot 46 of the linkage 42 which projects through the space between the slots 64 into a slot 47 in the middle of the coin platform 28.
  • the linkage 42 is rotatably secured to U-shaped frame member 48 (FIG. 3) at approximately the center of the linkage 42 by bolt member 49.
  • the slot 50 slidably engages a pin 52 which is eccentrically mounted on a circular pulley disc 53 mounted on a shaft 54 secured in bearings 55 and 56 held in U-shaped frame member 48.
  • the circular pulley disc is driven by a belt 58 which is connected to a pulley 60 driven by a reversible motor 62.
  • FIG. 2 the back position of the linkage 42 and coin platform 28 is shown in solid lines and the forward position of the linkage 42 and coin platform 28 is shown in dotted lines.
  • the angular distance between the pin 52 in the solid line distance in the direction of the arrow to the position of the pin 52 in the dotted line position is greater than the remaining angular distance between the two pin positions in the same direction.
  • This design characteristic of the pin 52 and linkage 42 provides for slower forward motion of the coin platform toward the coin chute 30 and fast return to the next coin roll pickup position since the pulley disc 53 is being driven at a constant speed by the motor 62.
  • the deflector 22 FIG. 2
  • the motor 62 will be reversed and the same slow forward and fast return relationship of the reciprocating coin platform 28 will be maintained with the left hand coin chute 32.
  • the platform 63 (FIGS. 3 and 4) supporting the coin platform consists of a series of elongated slot like members 64 held together in any suitable manner to form a grate type structure. Looking at FIG. 4 it can be seen that this construction allows the coins 66 from any coin roll 10, which is accidentally broken open, to drop through the coin platform into a pivotally mounted drawer 68 which can be readily opened by the operator and the coins retrieved.
  • the coin rolls 10 slide down lower chute 24. If the coin platform is in the solid line position shown in FIG. 2 the coin roll 10 will drop onto the platform 63 and will be engaged by the curved surface 70 of the coin platform 28 and be pushed onto the chute 30 and into the bag 34 on the next forward stroke of the coin platform. If coin platform 28 is in a position under the lower coin c hute 24 the roll of coins will be dropped into one of the indentations 40 in the top of the platform 28.
  • the coin roll 10 will contact the Wall 72 of the flower coin chute and will be held in this position until the coin platform moves to the extreme rear position, as shown in solid lines in FIG. 2, and the coin roll 10 is allowed to drop onto the platform in front of the curved surface 70. Then, as above, the coin roll 10 will be pushed slowly into the coin bag 34.
  • the vertical distance between the bottom of wall 72 and the coin platform 28 is so selected so that it is less than the diameter of the roll of coins 10 being bagged.
  • Hinged to each lower coin chute 24 and 26 is a weighted pivoted door 73 which will swing outwardly in case a roll or rolls of coins jam up in the chutes 24 and 26 or between the chutes and the reciprocating coin platform 28.
  • the coin platform 28 is driven by reversible motor 62 represented in FIG. by motor windings 74 and 76. As shown in FIG. 5 relay 78 is closed energizing winding 76 driving the motor in one direction. As each coin roll slides past the photocell and light source 16, a signal is generated as the light beam is broken and is transmitted through the photoelectric relay 78 to the predetermining counter 80. When the set count of the counter 80 is reached a momentary contact is made between terminals 82 and 84 thereby energizing ratchet relay 85 to reverse relay contacts 78, 86 and 88. At the same time the predetermining counter 80 is reset to zero.
  • Reversing of the relays 78 and 86 closes relay 78 to energize motor winding 76 and opens relay 86 to deenergize motor winding 74 to reverse the motor 62. Simultaneously the opening of relay 88 deenergizes the solenoid 38 to rotate the deflector 22 to the dotted line position shown in FIG. 2 to divert the rolls of coins into the coin chute 32. While the bag attached to coin chute 32 is being filled the operator can remove the filled coin bag 34 from the coin chute 30 and replace it with an empty bag. Then, when the counter 80 indicates the bagging of the set number of rolls determined by the counter 80 the above operation is again reversed by reversing the relays 78, 86 and 88 to once again rotate the deflector 22 to the solid line position in FIG. 2 to divert a predetermined number of rolls of coins into the bag 34 via the coin chute 24, coin platform 28 and coin chute 30.
