  • Patent number: 7568972
    Abstract: A coin counter includes a receptacle disposed on a stand and defining a space for coins. A rotary plate assembly is disposed in the space, and is driven by a drive assembly to eject the coins out of the receptacle. A rigid push rod forms a spacing with the rotary plate assembly that is substantially equal to a coin thickness. A counter counts the coins that are ejected. The counter includes a sensing element, an interrupting element, and a resilient element having ends coupled to the interrupting element and the stand. The interrupting element is in a path of ejection of the coins at a first position, and is displaced by a coin being ejected at a second position. The sensing element detects displacement of the interrupting element. The resilient element is pre-tensioned when the interrupting element is at the first position.

  • Publication number: 20090071795
    Abstract: A coin-guiding plate includes: a fixing segment; a guiding segment extending from the fixing segment, and having opposite first and second sides, a second guiding portion being recessed relative to a first guiding portion at the second side, the first guiding portion having a pointed tip opposite to the second guiding portion; and a blocking member formed at a junction of the fixing segment and the second guiding portion. The fixing segment is adapted to be fixed to a housing such that the guiding segment extends into a groove of a rotary plate that receives coins, and such that the first and second sides respectively face toward and away from a central plate portion of the rotary plate. The blocking member is adapted to form a gap with a groove bottom having a size for allowing at most one coin therethrough when the fixing segment is fixed to the housing.
