ABSTRACT:
A coin queuing device for receiving coins of the same or mixed denominations and delivering the coins to a fixed feed station in single file, in a single layer, and with one edge of each coin positioned at a common reference location. The device comprises a rotatable disc with a resilient upper surface, a drive means for rotating the rotatable disc, coin feed means for feeding coins to the resilient upper surface of the rotatable disc, a coin containment wall extending around the outer periphery of the disc to prevent coins from flying off the disc when the disc is rotated, and a stationary head positioned over a portion of the rotatable disc for engaging the upper surfaces of coins carried beneath the stationary head by the rotatable disc. The stationary head includes a channel for receiving coins which are carried on the surface of the rotatable disc beneath the stationary head. At least a portion of the radially inner wall of the channel spirals outwardly relative to the center of rotation of the rotatable disc to engage the radially inner edges of all the coins that enter the channel. The inner wall extends to the outer periphery of the rotatable disc for discharging from the disc the coins which are advanced along the inner wall. This coin containment wall is interrupted in the region adjacent the inner wall to permit the discharge of coins from the rotatable disc. The upper surface of at least the exit end of the channel is positioned sufficiently close to the resilient upper surface of the rotatable disc to press coins of all denominations down into the resilient surface as the coins are being discharged from the disc.
