Definitions

  • William Petry ABSTRACT Apparatus to receive wrapped rolls of coins and automatically transfer such rolls to another coin handling apparatus which is located at an angle to the initial coin roll receiving apparatus.
  • the apparatus includes a gate member which prevents the rolls of coins from being transferred onto the other coin handling apparatus in a skew position.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive coin handling apparatus to handle rolls of coins by receiving them in one direction and automatically transferring them to another apparatus located in a different plane.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of the new and improved coin chute
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the new and improved coin chute shown in FIG. 1.
  • the numeral represents a roll of coins wrapped in a shrink film bag.
  • the transfer chute 12 is located-between a coin packaging machine represented by a coin chute l4 and a conveyor 16 which supplies rolls of coins It) to a shrink oven (not shown) to shrink the heat shrinkable film tightly around the coins to provide a compact roll of wrapped coins.
  • the conveyor 16 consists of a plurality of rollers 18 spaced from one another by suitable chain linkage 20 and driven by sprockets in engagement therewith.
  • the rollers 18 are rotatably mounted in the linkage 20 but, in the position shown in FIG. 1 where they receive the coins, the rolls do not rotate since they are not in contact with a surface to cause rotation thereof.
  • the rolls from the chute 12 are to be dropped into the spaces between the rollers 18 so that as the rolls approach the shrink oven (not shown) the rotation of the rollers 18 will cause rotation of the coin packages 10 to provide for uniform shrinkage of the film material around the coins.
  • the chute 12 is suitably supported in position under the coin chute 14 from the coin machine by a support member 22 bolted or otherwise secured to the frame 24 of the coin machine.
  • the upper portion of the chute consists of two sidewalls 26 and 28 flared at 30 to guide misaligned rolls 10 from the chute l4 and a backwall 32 to form a U-shaped upper chute portion.
  • a deflector 36 of spring steel or other material which projects into the fall path of the rolls 10 to maintain the rolls in the vertical position as they drop in the chute 12.
  • the upper portion of the chute 12 curves into a lower closed discharge box 38 which has adischarge door 40 hinged thereto.
  • the discharge box 38 is elongated in the axial direction of the rollers 18 and has a bottom 42 which slopes slightly downward toward the rollers 18 to cause the coin rolls [0 to have an impetus in the direction of the conveyor 16. It is normally not possible to coordinate the drop of the coil rolls 10 with the position of the conveyor so that each roll 10 will fall directly into a space between theconveyor rollers 18. As shown in FIG. 1 the coin roll 10 may exit from the discharge box 38 at the time one of the rollers 18 is thereunder.
  • the pivotally mounted door 410 is employed to hold the coin roll 10 in substantial axial alignment with the rollers 18 until the conveyor moves in the direction indicated and a space between the rollers 18 is moved under the coin roll 10 and the coin roll 10 drops therein.
  • the coin packaging machine flat presses and seals one portion of a tube of heat shrinkable film material. Then a predetermined number of coins is dropped into this tube and the tube is again flat pressed and sealed above the coins. Then this sealed package or roll of coins It) is served from the tube of material and delivered to the chute 12 from chute 14. As the roll of coins 10 drops vertically down the chute 12 the spring steel deflector 36 contacts the roll of coins It) to maintain it in a substantially vertical position. The roll of coins then slides into the discharge box 38 from whence, due to the inclined floor 42, it tends to roll downward and outward in a direction perpendicular to thedirection of drop against the weight of the pivoted member 40.
  • the herein disclosed apparatus provides a simple and inexpensive system to automatically receive a roll of coins from one source and transfer such roll of coins to another source which extends in a different direction without the use of manual labor during the transfer.
  • a coin handling apparatus comprising: a coin chute having at least one open side, means supporting said coin chute in a substantially vertical position, means supplying a roll of coins to said chute in a substantially vertical position, a spring steel deflector mounted on one side of said chute and projecting into said one open side in the upper portion of said chute to maintain the rolls of coins in a substantially vertical position, a coin receiving roller conveyor mounted below said coin chute, said conveyor having a plurality of rollers connected thereto with each of said rollers'being spaced from the next adjacent rollers to provide spaces therebetween and pivoted means connected to the bottom of said chute to hold coins on top of said roller conveyor until said roller conveyor is moved to a position where one of said spaces appears below said roll of coins.
