摘要： The front face (20) of a disc (21) has a plurality of coin capturing pegs (22) spaced apart around its periphery. When the disc is rotated in a hopper, the pegs (22) capture coins and raise them to a dispensing point. The disc (21) cooperates with a wiping arm (25) having a pair of protrusions (26 and 27) arranged to locate the grooves (23 and 24) to provide a barrier which prevents coins from getting between the disc (21) and the arm (25).

摘要： Coin dispensing apparatus is provided comprising a reservoir (10) for coins and a rotor (13) located to receive coins from the reservoir, the rotor having a lower storage portion (14) shaped to receive a stack of coins, and an upper feed portion (15) shaped to receive coins from the reservoir (10) and direct them to the lower storage portion. Because the rotor receives and feeds the coins, to provide a stack of coins within the lower storage portion (14), ready for dispensing, the associated reservoir (10) can be of a size to receive any type of coin. If it is necessary to adapt the apparatus to accept a different type of coin, it is only necessary to replace the rotor.

摘要： Coin handling apparatus is provided comprising a rotor (14) which is rotatable to move coins (17) towards an exit slot (11) and a wiping device (19) to contact the coins and direct them into the slot (11), the wiping device having an escape recess (26) spaced from a face of the rotor (14), to receive at least part of a coin not properly seated on the face of the rotor (14) thus reducing the risk that this improperly seated coin will jam another coin. Preferably, the escape recess (26) has a depth which is slightly larger than the thickness of the coins, but a width which is slightly smaller than a diameter of the coins. This ensures that a coin cannot move completely into the recess where it might cause a jam which would be difficult to free. If it is a jam, then it occurs in a controlled manner, as a result of the jammed coin being unable to move fully into the escape slot. Although the jammed coins cannot move forwards, they are not wedged together and there is therefore no impediment to their moving in the reverse direction. The jam can therefore be freed without dismantling the apparatus by known anti-jamming mechanisms which can be used to cause the rotor to reverse its direction temporarily, if there is an impediment to its forward motion.

摘要翻译： 提供硬币处理装置，其包括可转动以朝向出口槽（11）移动硬币（17）的转子（14）和擦拭装置（19）以接触硬币并将硬币引导到槽（11）中，擦拭 装置，该装置具有与转子（14）的表面间隔开的逸出凹陷（26），以接收未正确地安置在转子（14）的表面上的硬币的至少一部分，从而降低了这种不正确安置的硬币将堵塞 另一枚硬币。 优选地，退避凹部（26）具有比硬币的厚度稍大的深度，但是具有比硬币的直径略小的宽度。 这确保了硬币不能完全移动到可能导致难以释放的果酱的凹陷处。 如果是卡纸，则以受控的方式进行，因为卡住的硬币不能完全移入逃生槽。 尽管卡住的硬币不能向前移动，但它们并不是楔在一起的，因此不会阻碍它们向相反的方向移动。 因此，如果存在阻碍其向前运动的障碍，则可以通过已知的抗干扰机构来拆除设备，从而可以释放卡纸，该已知的抗干扰机构可以用于暂时使转子反转其方向。
