Abstract: Herein disclosed is a coin kind and number setting and adjusting device for use with a coin packaging machine including a dial for setting the kind of coins and a second dial for setting the number of the coins, which is suitable for the set kind. The device comprises a gate for detecting the coincidence between the signals indicative of the kind of the coins, which is set by the first-named dial, and the signals indicative of the number of the coins, which is set by the second-named dial, so that it may operate the coin packaging machine only when preset conditions are satisfied. The coin packaging machine can be left inoperative if the setting of the coin number is so bad as to fail to coincide with that which is set for the set kind of the coins. Moreover, the number of the coins can be automatically set for the set coin kind.

Abstract: A paper sheet holding device for holding and bringing paper sheets to a paper sheet counter of suction type. The holding device includes two base plates, one of which is stationary whereas the other is rotatable and both of which are used to bear thereon the paper sheets in an upright position. Further inclusive are an upright holder plate, which is carried in an upright position on the rotatable base plate for holding the back of the paper stack, and a holder arm which is made coactive with the holder plate for holding the paper sheets. A pair of telescopic pipe rods are telescopically received in the holder plate and in the holder arm so that they may be pulled out to and retained at a preset height. Thus, the pipe rods can be extended to prevent the paper sheets from being hung even if the paper sheets are too wide for the height or heights of the holder plate and arm as they are.
