  • Patent number: 11282320
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for sorting disc-shaped objects, in particular coins. The device comprises a conveying device configured to convey individual disc-shaped objects along a conveyor path. A discharge unit comprising a pivotable diversion element serves to selectively discharge individual objects which are being conveyed along the conveyor path. The objects are discharged according to a previously determined classification for each object, in a classification system which differentiates between good parts and defective parts. In order to discharge an object, the diversion element is designed to be pivoted by means of a drive into the conveyor path such that, by means of the pivoting movement, the diversion element transfers a mechanical impulse to the object to be discharged. The impulse has, with respect to the direction of movement of the object at the time of the impulse transfer, both a perpendicular and an antiparallel impulse component.
