Abstract: The present invention provides a coin deposit and dispensing apparatus having a till filling distributor unit comprising a set of a plurality of releasably mounted till filling distributors, each till filling distributor comprising a wide upper opening, a narrow lower opening, and a pipe-like structure between these openings, where the till filling distributor unit is designed in such a way that in a dispensing operation a till filling distributor is located below each dispenser involved in the dispensing operation, whereby each till filling distributor is adapted for receiving coins from a dispenser located above said distributor into the wide upper opening of the distributor and to guide the coins through said narrow lower opening to a portable cash receptacle.

Abstract: A coin counter includes a chassis supporting a rotary disk and a chute extending from the disk. An operation device is arranged below one side of the chute and includes first and second plates coupled to an adjusting valve. First and second posts extend from ends of the first and second plates, respectively and are fixed to the chassis. A thickness adjusting mechanism is fixed to and supported by the second post, while a coin forwarding mechanism is fixed to and supported by the first post. Such a construction allows the thickness adjusting mechanism and the coin forwarding mechanism to be individually removable from the chassis as individual sub-assemblies, which facilitates ready mounting/dismounting and thus easy maintenance and repairing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an addressing type coin-dropping detector circuit, in which as any coin dropping and passing through the photo detector, impulses are produced from the detecting points of the external photo detector and then sent to the addressing type coin-dropping detector circuit. Followed by the enumerations performed by the addressing type coin-dropping detector circuit, an impulse-length value is derived and transmitted to the external circuit through addressing mechanism, which increases overall integrated level of the circuit with a more efficient design in terms of memory and circuit utilization.

Abstract: A coin handling machine (10) has a coin sorting member (12) with a plurality of sorting openings (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) by which respective denominations of coins (14) are sorted, having a coin driving member (21) with webs (22) for moving the coins to the coin sorting openings (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20), having a motor (60) coupled to the coin driving member (21), and having a brake (65) for stopping the motor (60), the coin handling machine (10). A coin imaging sensor (40) optically images at least a portion of a coin (14) and for transmitting dimensional data for identifying coins by denomination. A main controller (120) receives said dimensional data and counts each coin for bag stopping purposes separate from the counts maintained for totalizing the sorted coins. The controller (120) transmits signals to at least reduce the speed of the motor (60) when a bag count limit is reached for a respective denomination.

Abstract: A cash counting apparatus for cashbox comprises a case arranged within the cashbox, a sliding block movably arranged at an upper side of the case, a swing arm pivotally arranged in the case, and a circuit board with a plurality of contacts. The swing arm has one end pivotally driven by the sliding block and a probe on another end. The sliding block is moved laterally by an inserted coin, and the probe is swung due to the lever action of the swing arm. The probe is selectively in contact with one of the contacts according to the sizes of the inserted coin.

Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for the delivery, holding, storage, and dispensing of coins, and the like, from coin-operated gaming machines, such as “slot” machines, or the like, into which coins are deposited and, when an award is indicated, coins are dispensed as part of, or all, of the award or prize, is disclosed. After depositing coins in the coin slot of the gaming machine, the coins are typically passed through a coin-counting and delivery mechanism then deposited into one or more coin hoppers located in the front or the rear, or the top or bottom, or to the left or right of the coin counting and moving mechanism in the slot machine.

Abstract: An apparatus mounted within a game machine for counting coins comprising a housing, a holder obliquely mounted on the housing, a turntable disposed within a channel defined on the holder, a rotor mounted to the center of the turntable, a plate mounted to an extension from the sidewall of the holder, a spout for containing the coins threadedly mounted to a plurality of mounting holes of the holder, and an actuating motor behind the housing to drive the turntable to rotate. In a preferred embodiment, the holder has a shift lever mounted on an upper position and connected with a counter. The turntable includes a drive boss at a center, a ring flange with a smaller diameter defined in concentric circles form with the table on the surface thereof and a plurality of studs nonlinearly arranged in a radial form over the surface between the ring flange and the table's periphery for retaining the coins.

Abstract: A dispensing device utilises a bulk dispensing receptacle (2) used in combination with a dispensing hopper (1) to dispense coins, tokens or other items to an outlet tray (4) of a change or vending machine. The bulk dispensing apparatus being adapted to be filled to a predetermined number of coins, tokens or items when the change or vending machine is not being used by a user. Additionally an extension bin (3) for gravity feed of coins, tokens and items into the hoppers may be used having inclined walls and a baffle device to prevent "bridging" of coins, tokens and items. The dispensing device is quick in dispensing coins or tokens by filling the bulk dispensing receptacle (2) whilst information is being inputted by a user.

Abstract: The coin dispensing device is adapted to be disposed at the bottom of a vertical coin hopper and receives loose coins to be dispensed from the coin hopper. A first rotating agitator disk withdraws the loose coins from the coin hopper and feeds the coins through a central feed aperture in the first rotating disk. A fixed disk lies below the first rotating disk and has a dispensing slot therein that receives the coins from the central feed aperture. The coins to be dispensed are lined up in a row in the dispensing slot from the center of the fixed disk to the periphery thereof for dispensing through an exit slot in the fixed disk. A second rotating dispensing disk lies below the fixed disk and spring biased pusher balls on the second rotating disk push on the edge of each coin to push coins from the center of the fixed disk down the dispensing slot. The dispensing slot in the fixed disk sits adjacent to a coin tray where the loose coins that have been dispensed are accessible to the patron.

Abstract: An outlet device for coin payout hoppers including an outlet chute having a curved coin guiding passage for receiving coins at a lower inlet in the horizontal direction form the coin payout hopper and guiding the coins in the vertical direction and an escalator connected to the outlet chute at the lower end. The outlet chute includes a back side plate and a pair of edge plates to drop a deformed coin out of the curved passage to prevent a coin from jamming in the passages of the outlet chute and the escalator. Further, the escalator includes a coin holding device on the front side plate having an opening for preventing a coin from descending by a wedge action to decrease the weight of upper coins subjected to lower coins, to thereby provide an outlet device having a high lift and high efficiency without coin jamming.
