Patent number: 7967125Abstract: A deformed-coin detector accurately detecting a deformed coin without being affected by a variation in transporting speed of a coin. A coin transported along a coin transporting face comes into contact with detecting elements of coin-thickness detecting bodies, the detecting elements move by a distance corresponding to the dimension of the coin in its thickness direction and simultaneously, light shielding portions of the coin-thickness detecting bodies move. A light detecting portion detects a light shielding amount that varies due to movement of the light shielding portions. A coin denomination determining unit determines a denomination of the coin transported along the coin transporting face and reads a reference light-shielding amount pre-stored in a reference light shielding amount storing unit regarding the denomination.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2006Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Glory Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Ishimatsu, Satoru Katori, Kazuyuki Shimizu, Yasushi Hiraoka, Osamu Uehara
