© Coin stacking and wrapping apparatus.
© A coin stacking and wrapping apparatus wherein
coins (C) are fed along a coin guideway (15) toward
a stacking position in which each unit number of
coins are stacked. The stack of coins (C) thus
formed is rotatably engaged by a set of wrapping
rolls (10, 11, 12), at least one of which is revolved by
drive means (Md, 84, 85, 86) for causing rotation of
2 all the wrapping rolls together with the stack of coins
^ a n d hence for wrapping the stack of coins in a piece
tO of wrapper strip (65) supplied by wrapper feed
means (ME, 67, 68). Eject means (M1, 27, 34) ejects
the wrapped stack of coins from among the wrapWping rolls downwardly by gravity.
P*»>
OJ
With a view to the reduction of the vertical
O dimension of the machine, the coins (C) success i v e l y issuing from the coin guideway (15) are
IU stacked on approximately the same plane as the
coin guideway, with each new coin placed under the
preceding one by stacking means (M4, 24, 60). The
set of wrapping rolls (10, 11, 12) are so disposed as
to surround at least part of the stack of coins thus
formed, so that the stack of coins is required to
travel a minimum distance upwardly to be wrapped
in the wrapper strip by the wrapping rolls.
