ABSTRACT:
In a coin disposing apparatus, a mechanism is disclosed for aligning a random supply of coins preparatory to further processing. Included is a rotary disc for receiving thereon the coins to be processed from an overhead belt conveyor and for centrifugally sending the coins toward the disc periphery. A coin runway extends from a peripheral position on the rotary disc to a subsequent processing station for aligned delivery of the coins. An endless belt makes frictional contact with the periphery of the rotary disc, except at least where the entrance of the coin runway is located, for simultaneous rotation therewith. Thus, on being centrifugally forced into peripheral contact with the endless belt on the rotary disc, the coins do not revolve about their own axes, unlike the case where the disc rotates inside a fixed annular wall, and so is smoothly and noiselessly fed into the runway one by one. The invention also features a fixed annular wall arranged over the endless belt rotary wall. When coins piled up on the rotary disc contact the fixed wall, a conduction sensor electrically senses an oversupply of coins and sets the overhead conveyor out of operation.
