    摘要: The present invention is a coin sorter apparatus for sorting a group of mixed coins by denomination and immediately terminating the sorting process in response to a predetermined operating condition, such as the filling of a coin receptacle with a predetermined number of coins. Sorting is provided by a stationary sorting head and a rotatable disc positioned sufficiently proximate to one another so that when the group of mixed coins are dropped into the center opening of the stationary sorting head, they are rotated by the rotating disc and guided by the sorting head on a outward spiral sorting path to exit channels along the periphery of the stationary sorting head. Each of the exit channels acts as an exit chute for a particular coin denomination by releasing pressure on that particular coin and freeing the coin to move outwardly along the exit channel and exit into a coin receptacle. At the moment of the predetermined operating condition, a braking mechanism immediately stops the rotation of the rotatable disc, and the coins within an exit channel exit through the exit channel due to the inertia of the coins.

    摘要: A coin sorter for sorting coins in terms of their diameter comprising a rotatably mounted coin-carrying disc having a resilient top surface onto which coins may be fed; a drive motor for rotating the disc; a guide plate having a central opening and a configured lower surface positioned over and closely adjacent to the disc, and wherein the configured surface includes an inner recess within which coins are free to move radially, and the inner recess extends outwardly from the central opening, and guide plate forming a referencing region for receiving the coins from the inner recess and pressing them against the resilient top surface of the coin-carrying disc while engaging the radially outer edges of the coins of all denominations and moving the coins radially inwardly as the coins are advanced circumferentially so that the radially outer edges of the coins of all denominations are positioned at a common radial location, whereby the radially inner edges of the coins are positioned at different radial locations determined by the diameters of the respective coins, and sorting recesses disposed around the outer periphery of the guide plate for sorting coins of different denominations according to the different radial locations of the radially inner edges of the coins of different denominations, the sorting recesses ejecting coins of a common denomination at a common circumferential location on the periphery of the guide plate.

    摘要: A releasable reel strip attachment assembly including an attachment strip with snap rivets that snaps through corresponding apertures in a reel strip and into apertures in a reel cage. The attachment strip includes an adhesive layer protected by a release backing that is removed to expose the adhesive layer. The reel strip is positioned over the reel cage so that the apertures in the reel strip co-align with those of the reel cage, and the snap rivets are inserted through the aligned apertures to attach the reel strip to the reel cage in a reliable, precise, and consistent manner. The reel strip is wound around the reel cage and the free end of the reel strip is pressed onto the exposed adhesive layer of the attachment strip.
