20090017740 | Change Complement and Control System - A change complement and control system according to the present invention comprises a coin-roll storage | 01-15-2009 |
20100041326 | Coin Counter that Guides and Delivers Coins Smoothly to Prevent the Coins from being Choked - A coin counter includes a support bracket, a limit plate secured on the support bracket, a slide rod slidably mounted on the support bracket, a coin outlet port located between the limit plate and the slide rod, and a rotation disk rotatably mounted on the support bracket and having a plurality of receiving grooves to receive a plurality of coins. Thus, each of the coins directly passes between the limit plate and the slide rod into the coin outlet port, so that each of the coins is introduced into the coin outlet port smoothly to prevent the coins from being choked at the coin outlet port. In addition, the limit plate is provided with an adjusting slot to change and adjust the distance between the limit plate and the slide rod to allow passage of coins of different sizes. | 02-18-2010 |
20100048117 | COIN COUNTER THAT STOPS OPERATING AUTOMATICALLY WHEN OVERLOAD OF THE COINS HAPPENS - A coin counter includes a base frame including a support board, a rotation unit including a rotation disk, a connecting unit including a mounting bracket, and a receiving unit including a receiving seat and a protective plate. Thus, the protective plate is located above the rotation disk of the rotation unit to protect the rotation disk of the rotation unit so as to prevent the coins in the receiving seat from directly contacting and hitting the rotation disk of the rotation unit. In addition, the protective plate of the receiving unit has two opposite sides each supported by the side edge of the receiving seat so that the protective plate of the receiving unit is supported by the receiving seat to bear the heavy load of the coins. | 02-25-2010 |

In some embodiments, chip sorting devices may include at least one chip ejection unit including at least one finger member selectively movable between a first position outside of at least one channel of a chip conveying unit and a second position within the at least one channel. In additional embodiments, a chip sorting device may include a separating wheel comprising a plurality of chip wells, each chip well configured to hold a plurality of chips. In yet additional embodiments, methods of ejecting a chip from a chip well may include urging a selected chip out of the chip well with the at least one finger member and at least one wall segment of a trailing segmented wall of the chip well. | 05-05-2011 |
20130065497 | DEBRIS DIVERTER FOR COIN COUNTING MACHINE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF MANUFACTURE AND OPERATION - Apparatuses, systems, and methods for separating debris from coins and the like from customer-operated kiosks and other machines. A debris diverter including a motor, a rotating bobbin, and at least one vane is positioned over a coin track with the vane spaced apart from the coin track by a predetermined distance to permit objects smaller than the predetermined distance to pass by the debris diverter and to contact objects larger than the predetermined distance. | 03-14-2013 |
20130189914 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING MUSIC AND/OR OTHER MEDIA ARRANGEMENTS WITH COIN COUNTING MACHINES - Systems and methods for generating unique audio and/or video arrangements from coins counted by a coin counting machine are described herein. In one embodiment, the coin counting machine can receive coins and detect one or more properties of each coin. The properties of each coin may be associated with a musical note, graphic, and/or other media component. The media components can be combined to create a media arrangement that can be presented via a speaker, video display, or other media output on the coin counting machine. | 07-25-2013 |
20130203330 | INFORMATION REPORTING SYSTEM FOR COIN-OPERATED DEVICE - An information reporting system for a coin-operated device includes a sensing device, an embedded system, and a communication module. The sensing device generates a sensing value according to a coin feeding status. The embedded system reads the sensing value and generates a data packet. The communication module sends the data packet according to a contact information to report the coin feeding status of the coin-operated device to a system user. The information reporting system for a coin-operated device reports the coin feeding status of the coin-operated device to the system user in real time and allows the system user to know the coin feeding status with a remote device and determine the best time to fetch coins from the coin-operated device, thereby cutting commuting costs incurred by the system user. | 08-08-2013 |
20150065022 | Adjusting Device for Coin Counting Machine - An adjusting device for a coin counting machine contains: a base including a plate member, an orifice, an adjusting hole, and a positioning hole. The plate member has the orifice screwing with a screw rod of an elastic fitting set, the adjusting hole, and the positioning hole. The adjusting hole has an adjusting post engaging with an elongated aperture of an adjustment piece, the positioning hole has a fixing post engaging with a fix aperture. An adjustment piece includes a tab, an extension, an arcuate sliding aperture, the elongated aperture, and the fix aperture. The elastic fitting set includes the screw rod, a resilient element, and a driving block, wherein the screw rod is screwed with the orifice via the arcuate sliding aperture and has the resilient element, and the driving block is fitted between the resilient element and the tab and is screwed with the screw rod. | 03-05-2015 |
