Definitions

  • SHEET 5 [1F 5 AUTOMATIC COIN DISPENSING MACHINE This invention relates to automatic coin dispensing machines comprising a stacking device incorporating a tubular sleeve for aligning coins deposited in said device.
  • Stacking devices for automatic coin dispensing machines at present require a special coin sleeve for each different diameter of coin. When one size of coin is changed to another, the sleeve has to be replaced and this is a time-consuming operation.
  • the sleeve is made up of component side-by-side sleeve sections which are at least partially radially-adjustable to vary the diameter of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve sections are of resilient strip form, overlap one another in the peripheral direction of the sleeve, and each has a bevelled leading edge bearing against the surface of the next overlapped section.
  • the machine comprises means for wrapping a stack of coins therein, this wrapping means comprising a vertical tube with an entrance slot along the periphery,means for feeding sheet material edgewise through said slot into the interior of the tube, a knife adjacent said slot for severing sheet material fed through the slot, and a coin stack support plate rotatable within said tube at a rate at least equal to that of the speed at which sheet material is fed into the tube.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial perspective illustration of a stacking device in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cross section through this stacking device taken on the line II II of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is an illustration of the principle of a wrapping device in accordance with the invention, this being taken on the section line III III of FIG. 4,
  • FIG. 4 is a vertical section through the parts illustrated in FIG. 3, this on the line IV IV of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates another embodiment of the wrapping device.
  • FIG. 1 The embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 is related to a coin dispensing machine which includes a shaker device for deposited coins, not here illustrated.
  • the stacking device itself comprises a number in the present case eight of component strips 18 of circular arcuate form which are uniformly distributed side-by-side in a ring to form the coin sleeve of the device enclosing the coins to be stacked.
  • Each of the strips 18 partially overlaps the next and to prevent falling coins hooking on to the overlapping parts of strips 18 the free ends of these parts are bevelled at 2 in knife edge fashion to provide an almost uniform transition from the curvature of one strip to the next following overlapped strip.
  • Each strip 18 is secured to the upper end 31 of the outer flange 29 of a holder 6, the accurate location thereof being assured by an inner flange 30, the edge 32 of the strip 18 concerned abutting the free edge of the inner flange 30.
  • Both flanges 29, 30 are integral with outer and inner limbs 26, 27 of a clip around the holder plate 3 and are held together by outer and inner springy angular sections 34, 35 of the clip.
  • a compression spring 37 located in a recess in the vicinity of the outer longitudinal edge 33 on the holder 6 makes this holder readily resilient. This outward spring bias is limited by an inwardly-directed stay 28 on the outer flange 29.
  • Upper and lower mounting plates 22 are provided at the ends of the holder plate 3, and these have guide grooves 23 of wedge section in number corresponding to the holder plates 3. Mounted in these grooves are ball bearings 24 which are also disposed in corresponding wedge-shaped guide grooves 25 in the upper and lower edges of holder plate 23, thereby providing for a ball-assisted easy movement of the plates 3.
  • a radial setting device 10 is provided below the bottom mounting plate 22, this comprising a setting plate 21 which is rotatably adjustable about the axis of the stacking device and has at its upper side a groove 12 of rectangular cross section which runs spirally in relation to the aforesaid axis.
  • Each setting plate 19 has a flange 8 with a longitudinal slot 9, through which passes a pintle 14 carrying a follower roller 15 which runs in groove 12. The position of pintle 14 along slot 9 is set by means of a nut 16.
  • the setting plate 21 is rotated in the counter clockwise direction to bring the strips 18 into a position in which they define a circle of a diameter which is greater than that of the coins to be stacked. These coins are then charged in the required number into the hollow space thereby provided.
  • the setting plate 21 is now turned in the clockwise direction so as to produce a common setting of the holder plates.
  • the strips 18 are moved until they abut against the coins and these are joggled into a neat and accurate pile and in the end there is a closefitting sleeve around the pile made up of the component strips 18.
  • Strips 18 being of a springy nature, the bevelled ends of the blades will adapt themselves without play on the neighbouring strips to compensate manufacturing tolerances to form the closed hollow cylinder.
  • the blades 18 are resiliently mounted on the respective blade holder plates 3 thereby to compensate for other manufacturing tolerances and diameter variations in the coins, the compression springs 37 applying the holders 6 and thus the strips 18 resiliently against the peripheries of the coins.
  • This resilient mounting of the holder 6 has the further advantage that some coins which might differ only slightly from one another in diameter can be stacked with the rollers 15 in the same abutment positions in the spiral groove of plate 21.
  • the cylindrical object 41 which is to be wrapped e.g. a number of superimposed aligned coins 52, is disposed on a horizontal carrier plate 53 mounted at the upper end of a spindle 49 which is rotatable by driving means (not shown).
  • a cylindrical tube 44 of dimensions Disposed around plate 53 is a cylindrical tube 44 of dimensions such that there is a certain uniform clearance 42 between the inner surface 54 of tube 44 and the outer surface 55 of the stack 41. There is also a clearance in the heightwise direction.
  • a sheet 46 of wrapping material is introduced by sheet feed means (not shown) through a slot 43 in tube 44 parallel to the rotary axis 56, and this sheet is carried around by surface friction against the rotating stack 41 and moved through the annular space 57 between the outer surface of the stack 41 and the inner surface 54 of tube 44 until the sheet is completely wound around the stack once, or two or more times.
  • a cutting device 51 with a blade 50 is arranged adjacent the entrance of sheet 46 into slot 43, and when the sheet 46 has been sufficiently stiffened because of the tension effect on the latter as a result of its rotation, it is forcibly applied against cutting edge 50 and thereby severed. It can therefore be arranged that the severance will take place when an appropriate quantity of sheet material has been enwrapped in the device and it has as a result been presented at the right angle to the cutting edge 50. Any trailing part of the sheet will be drawn into the interior of the sleeve 41 and will form part of the final wrapping. The two ends of the wrapping will then be followed inwards and pressed firm in known fashion.
  • the loop angle used in wrapping the object which must be at least 360 but may be even greater if say a double wrapping is required, is dependent on the clearance between the inner surface 54 of tube 44 and the outer surface 55 of the object to be wrapped.
  • This embodiment is of particular advantage in a wrapping operation because the gap 42 is infinitely adjustable by radial movement of blades 58.
  • This infinite adjustability is of particular advantage because during the winding operation itself it is possible to adjust the width required for the wrapping so that the optimum gap can be finally adjusted without lengthy testing and the required loop angle therefrom quickly arrived at.
  • the prior art devices not only must there be a large number of tubes available of different graded sizes, but a toublesome multiple changing of these tubes is necessary in practice, all of which is dispensed with in the infinite fine adjustment now made possible.
  • This embodiment has the further advantage that it is not necessary to provide a special slot for the introduction of the sheet into the annular space 57. With the inherent stiffness of the sheet, it can be pushed between the bevelled edge of any one of the blades and the next adjacent blade against which this edge bears and carried round to be applied against the stack 41 and the inner surfaces of the individual blades 58.
  • An automatic coin dispensing machine comprising a stacking device incorporating a tubular sleeve for aligning coins deposited in said device, in which said sleeve is made up of component side-by-side sleeve sections which are at least partially radially-adjustable to vary the diameter of the sleeve, said sleeve sections being of resilient strip form, said sleeve sections overlapping one another in the peripheral direction of said sleeve, said sleeve sections each having a bevelled leading edge bearing against the surface of the next overlapped section.
  • the stacking device includes means for adjusting said sleeve sections comprising, for each said section, a holder plate, resilient devices on said plate for clamping a margin of the section concerned, and a follower depending from said plate and running in a spiral groove in a setting plate for varying the radial disposition of the section.
  • a machine according to claim-2 in which the holder is adjustable on ball races in V-grooves between the upper and lower ends of the plate and upper and lower mounting plates respectively in the stacking device, and the follower is a roller carried by a pintle depending from a flange on said plate.
  • a machine further comprising means for wrapping a stack of coins therein, this wrapping means comprising a vertical tube with an entrance slot along the periphery means for feeding sheet material edgewise through said slot into the interior of the tube, a knife adjacent said slot for severing sheet material fed through the slot, and a coin stack support plate rotatable within said tube at a rate at least equal to that of the speed at which sheet material is fed into the tube.
  • a machine according to claim 4 in which the tube is rotatable in an opposite sense to the rotation of the stack support plate.
