  • Patent number: 4385481
    Abstract: A transporting system to deliver coins to coin-processing machines includes a single endless belt mounted above the coin-processing machines. The belt is mounted horizontally, with the coin-carrying belt surface canted at a 45.degree. angle to horizontal to form a V-shaped trough with an adjacent wall along which coins are carried. A plurality of ports having adjustable gates permit coins to fall through chutes to the processing machines. Coins passing all of the ports drop into a hopper, and are recirculated to the endless belt by a conveyor.
