20100170766 | Inductive measuring arrangement for free-fall coin-operated devices - Inductive measuring arrangement for coin validation in free-fall coin-operated devices, in which at least one elongate coil arrangement on one side of the drop path of the coins extends transversely to the drop path, two coaxial elongate coils being arranged adjacent to one another, a shell core which is E-shaped in cross section being provided, which receives the coils between its outer arms, and a central arm extending, either not at all or only partially, into the outer coil. | 07-08-2010 |
20090078531 | Device for Sorting Coins - A device for sorting coins in at least four coin tubes of a coin changer that leave a coin testing device, the coin tubes being located in a common plane, the device comprising a housing having a substantially vertical wall, a first gate element including a first runway inclined relative to a horizontal level and a barrier portion at the lower end of a first runway, the first gate element being supported for movement approximately perpendicular to wall and actuable by a first electro magnet between two positions, in the first position the first runway projecting from wall and the first barrier portion together with wall forming a passage whereby a coin may roll along the first runway through the passage while in the second position the runway extends into wall and the first barrier portion is adjacent to wall. | 03-26-2009 |
20090078530 | Method for Testing Coins - A method for testing coins which move along a runway, using a coil assembly which, on either side of the runway, has a transmission coil C, D adapted to be admitted by a transmission signal and a reception coil A, B on a common ferrite core wherein the reception coil smaller in diameter is closer to the runway than is the transmission coil and the diameter of the transmission coil is smaller than the diameter of the smallest coin to be assumed, and wherein the ferrite core has arranged thereon a secondary coil coupled to the transmission coil the signal of which is connected, as a negative-feedback signal, to the input of a differential amplifier in such a way that the signal of the transmission coil agrees with the transmitted signal provided to the other input of the differential amplifier. | 03-26-2009 |
20090017739 | APPARATUS FOR THE PAYOUT OF COINS FROM A PAIR OF NEIGHBOURING COIN TUBES - An apparatus for the payout of coins from a pair of neighbouring coin tubes, in which one stack of coins at a time is supported on the bottom of a coin tube, with a payout disc below the coin tubes, which is rotatably mounted around an axis parallel to the axis of the coin tubes and which has a payout element on the side facing the coin tubes, which is moved along a curved slit in the bottom of the respective coin tube in an angular rotation of the payout disc, in order to capture the respective lowermost coin and to push it out, with an electric drive motor for the payout disc and a control device, which triggers the drive motor such that departing from a rest position, the payout disc is rotated at option about a limited rotational angle up to a final position, and is consecutively turned back into the rest position, wherein the payout disc has an extension in the rotational direction by which the stack of coins rests on the payout element in the final position of the payout disc, characterised in that on the lower side of the payout disc a stopper element is provided, which co-operates near the final positions with one dead stop at a time, the payout disc has a first mark on the side opposite to the stopper element which is detectable by two sensors arranged side by side, the payout disc has further one second mark at a time at both sides of the stopper element which is detectable by a sensor, wherein the second marks are situated in the region of the sensor when the payout disc is in one of the final positions, and the sensors are connected to the control device and the control device reduces the speed of the drive motor when one of the second marks reaches the sensor which is the first one in the rotational direction and reverses its rotational direction when it reaches the second sensor. | 01-15-2009 |
20080293347 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A COIN DISPENSING DEVICE AND A COIN DISPENSING DEVICE - A method for operating a coin dispensing device, the coin dispensing device having a plurality of coin dispensing modules, wherein at least one coin tube for holding coins of a predetermined nominal value is assigned to each dispensing module, each dispensing module being adapted to dispense a coin held in the coin tube assigned to the dispensing module in a dispensing cycle and in response to a control signal, wherein at least two coin tubes assigned to different dispensing modules contain coins of the same nominal value and in one dispensing cycle, a plurality of coin dispensing modules are being activated. | 11-27-2008 |
