Patent number: 9613479Abstract: The described device for separating coins comprises a rotatable base disc (32), a delimiting element (34) and a driver disc (36). A circular ring-shaped sorting track (12) is arranged eccentrically relative to the base disc (32). The driver disc (36) and a circularly arranged conveying element (14) interact in a transfer region (38) such that the lowest layer of coins among a quantity of coins conveyed by the driver disc (36) are pushed underneath the conveying element (14), clamped thereat and conveyed further.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2013Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignees: WINCOR NIXDORF INTERNATIONAL GMBH, CRANE PAYMENT INNOVATIONS GMBHInventors: Christian Starke, Thorsten Neumann, Axel Grimm, Stig Goepel, Wilfried Meyer

Patent number: 8986084Abstract: Device for receiving coins improved in such a way that large amounts of coins can be received as well as separated reliably and quickly and such that the adverse influence of foreign matters introduced along with the coins on the coin separating function and/or on the performance of the coin separating unit may be reduced. The device includes an aperture for charging coins, a unit for separating coins and a feed unit for feeding coins which is provided with a guide face giving support to the coins during the feeding process and which is an active type feeder having a feed module (5) that is operable with the aid of an actuator means to feed coins toward the coin separating unit and that is designed such that the coins are transported toward the coin separating unit along said guide face.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Christian Starke, Thorsten Neumann, Axel Grimm, Stig Goepel

Patent number: 8657655Abstract: A device for the delivery of coins from a coin dispensing station to a mobile supply device or from the mobile supply device to a coin receiving module. The coin reservoir of the mobile supply device is designed such that the coins collected in the coin reservoir are delivered in portions to the coin inlet of the coin receiving module, depending on a supply request. An inventory memory unit is assigned to a control unit. The particular advantage of the device consists in that only one mobile supply device is required for supplying and/or filling a number of coin receiving modules.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2012Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignees: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH, Crane Payment Solutions GmbHInventors: Christian Starke, Thorsten Neumann, Axel Grimm, Stig Goepel

Patent number: 8535125Abstract: A feed unit for filling a coin module with coins improved in such a way that a plurality of coin modules can be filled or loaded with just one feed unit. The coin feed unit is a coin drum which is rotatable inside a shell. A coin stock compartment is provided into which coins can be filled via a charge aperture. A dispensing compartment is provided inside the coin drum from which coins can be taken out via the discharge aperture. A passage is arranged in such a way that coins get from the stock compartment into the dispensing compartment as the coin drum rotates around a pivot pin.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2012Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Christian Starke, Thorsten Neumann, Axel Grimm, Stig Goepel, Wilfried Meyer
