Then, the follower projection 132 of the planar member 131 is brought into contact with a larger diameter portion of the cam 126, thereby causing the planar member 131 to rotate against the tension of the spring 133 in the counter-clockwise direction around the shaft 129. The arms 144 and 145 thus return to their original positions.
  • the earns 49 and 50 are further rotated after the above describedreturn to the original positions of the arms 144 and 145, whereby the cam-follwer roller 54 of the lever 45 starts to ride on the cam surface 52 of the cam 49, and the cam-follower roller 55 of the arm 41 starts to ride on the cam surface 53 of the cam 50.
  • the wrapping rolls 20, 21, and 22 are caused to separate from each other, thereby dropping the already wrapped coin stack A into the discharge chute 8.'
  • the shaft 48 continues its rotation after the discharge of the wrapped coin stack until thecam-follower roller 55 on the arm 41 completely rides on the cam surface 53, establishing the maximum separatihg positions of the wrapping rolls 20, 21, and 22, whereupon all of the wrapping rolls 20, 21, 22, guide plates 89, 94, 95, 99, 107, and arms 144 and 145 are returned to their original positions.
  • the driving motor is then stopped to prepare for the succeeding operation.
  • a coin wrapping apparatus comprising a plurality of wrapping rolls arranged around a space for receiving a stack of coins of a predetermined number and denomination, at least one of said wrapping rolls being adapted to be advanced toward said space to contact and rotate the coin stack introduced into the space and separated therefrom for the introduction and discharge of the stack of coins, means for feeding a piece of wrapping paper, a plurality of guide plates for guiding the wrapping paper thus fed between the stack of coins and the plurality of wrapping rolls to thereby wrap the paper around the peripheral surface of the coin stack, and fold crimping means movably positioned for fold crimping the lateral edges of the wrapped paper, the improvement which comprise:
