  • Patent number: 4216788
    Abstract: A coin processing machine for counting coins processes the counted coins by bringing the coins, which are guided into their path, into contact one by one with a counting gear, thereby to turn the counting gear. The coin processing machine includes pulse generating means which is connected to the shaft of rotation of the counting gear for generating two kinds of pulse signals having different phases. Also included is a rotational direction discriminating circuit which is made responsive to the pulse signals of the pulse generating means so that it may generate adding pulses when the shaft of the counting gear rotates in the forward direction, and subtracting pulses when the same rotates in the backward direction. A reversible counter is also included for counting either adding or subtracting pulses. Thus, the coin counting operations can always be accomplished correctly while ensuring normal processing of the coins.

  • Patent number: 4159607
    Abstract: A wrapping paper selecting system for use in a coin packaging machine includes a coin selecting dial for selecting a desired type coin, a wrapping paper supporting table having a plurality of loading stations each for wrapping paper for a different type of coin, a wrapping paper feeding station and a drive for driving the supporting table so as to bring a desired one of the loading stations into the feeding station. A selected coin signal generator is associated with the coin selecting dial for producing a signal indicative of the type of coin which has been selected to be wrapped. A plurality of markings are exchangeably provided in the loading stations to identify the loading stations. A selected paper signal generator is provided in the feeding station for detecting the markings and producing a signal indicative of which loading station has been brought into the feeding station.
