Abstract: This document relates to a device for sorting, checking and forwarding coins referred to as a hopper, comprising a rotatably mounted carrier disk for feeding coins from a collection receptacle and a device for forwarding coins guided on the carrier disk to a transfer device. The device for forwarding comprises a rotatable transport disk, which is disposed adjoining the carrier disk and designed to individually receive the respective coins guided on the carrier disk and to move them past a sensor unit for determining at least one parameter of the coin. The transfer device comprises a redirection system, which is designed to channel the coin onto different transport paths as a function of the at least one parameter of the coin.

Abstract: A device for singularising coins of different sizes and thickness with a housing which comprises an obliquely inclined base plate is suggested. A catch element for catching and conveying coins to a further processing is rotatably arranged above the base plate. The coins are randomly present at least in the lower region of the base plate on which a collection container is fastened. A flap is arranged in the base plate, which opens and closes synchronously with the driven coin catch element for leading a caught coin further.

Abstract: A mechanical coin checking device comprises a coin channel having a running rail, a coin acceptance shaft connected to the coin channel, a blocking element which is pivoted into the coin acceptance shaft if no coin is present and which, due to the weight thereof, pivots, after entry of a coin into the acceptance shaft, releases the acceptance shaft and blocks the coin channel at the same time, a confirmation photoelectric barrier which is disposed in the acceptance channel and detects the passage of a coin, an optical sensor for detecting the position of the blocking element and a control unit connected to the confirmation photoelectric barrier and to the optical sensor, the control unit, as a function of the signals of the confirmation photoelectric barrier and of the optical sensor, producing a credit signal for acceptance of the coin falling through the acceptance shaft.

Abstract: There is proposed a mechanical coin-acceptor unit with a coin running channel which has a running rail for rolling a coin, in or on which testing arrangements for testing the properties of the rolling coin are provided, having a coin-acceptor shaft and a return shaft disposed below the running rail, where the running rail is mounted on a basic body and has a recess in the running direction of the coin for testing the thickness of the coin which falls possibly through the recess into the return shaft, and the running rail is mounted rotatably on the basic body via a point of rotation.

Abstract: A coin storage device, which can be inserted in a coin testing device or in a cash register system, is described. The coin storage device comprises at least two opposing walls, wherein between the walls a shaft having a width is configured, and a track disposed in the shaft is provided. Of the two opposing walls, at least one is at least partially displaceable, and the width of the shaft can thus be varied. The track is arranged displaceably, and at least one retaining rail is provided, wherein the retaining rail is displaceably disposed above the track in the shaft. Such a coin storage device can be used to sort out foreign objects based on gravity. A coin storage device is possible for a coin testing device, and congestion by coins or foreign objects can be eliminated due to the variable width of the shaft.

Abstract: An intermediate cash box includes a flap assembly that is pivotally mounted in a housing, said assembly forming a receptacle for coins in its resting position. When the flap assembly is pivoted in a controlled manner, this releases the coins into a return channel or a cash box. The flap assembly comprises two V-shaped flaps, each flap being assigned to a pivotally mounted gate lever with a slide-gate track that guides the displacement of the flap. A rotatably mounted displacement transfer element, which is driven by a drive, is in contact with the gate levers and transfers the displacement of the drive to one of the respective gate levers in order to pivot the latter.

Abstract: An electronic coin checker is disclosed, comprising a coin insert, a coin running track, in the region of which at least one checking device, for checking the coins, is arranged and a deflector. According to the result from the checking device, the deflector may be placed in a withdrawn position, opening the acceptance channel, or in an extended position, in which the coin is deflected into a return channel which ends in a return opening in the front region of the coin checker. The deflector comprises means for clamping which clamp a false coin introduced through the return opening in the extended state of the deflector, by means of withdrawing the deflector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coin distributor, containing a deflection unit comprising a displaceable deflection member for sorting coins into different coin slots. The distributor is provided with at least one device for detecting the passage of a coin through a coin shaft, said device comprising at least one emitter and a beam switcher, in addition to a beam receiver. The beam switcher is fixed to the displaceable deflection member.

Abstract: A sorting device for a coin tester, with a frame for fastening the coin tester and a sorting unit arranged on the frame which comprises at least one opening for the passage of a coin exiting from the coin tester is suggested. Elements which may be actuated by way of electromagnets are provided in the sorting unit and these elements release or block various coin paths depending on the activation of the electromagnets. The movable elements are designed as deflection levers which are pivotable in the plane of the running direction of the coins, are articulated to one another at a distance which is seen as transverse to the running direction, and are guided in arch-shaped guides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coin validator comprising a string sensor, which is arranged in the area of the coin insertion channel, and comprising a coin validating device for controlling the acceptance or rejection of an inserted coin. The string sensor comprises a first tooth, which is placed on a stationary part of the coin insertion channel, a second tooth, which is placed on a pendulum and which is disengaged when a coin is inserted, and comprises a switching device, which is actively connected to the pendulum and which furnishes a signal to the coin validating device when a coin is inserted. The pendulum is a component of a coin insertion funnel that, as a wearing part, is detachably connected to the housing of the coin validator and forms a part of the coin insertion channel.
