ABSTRACT:
A coin sorting mechanism having a coin passage for travel of coins to be separated according to diameter and a sorting mechanism for sorting the coins according to diameter. The sorting mechanism comprises a succession of deflection bars having respective graduated sorting holes for deflecting from the coin passage, coins, disks and the like with a diameter greater than the sorting hole in the respective deflection bar. The sorted coins are gravitationally conveyed by the respective bars for discharge into compartments at a receiving station. Each bar is provided with a further sorting hole located along the path of travel of the deflected coins in proceeding for discharge from the bar to the receiving station. The further sorting hole has an extent in one direction which is less than the diameter of the coin which the respective deflection bar is to divert whereby undersized coins are discharged from the deflection bar before they have reached the location for discharge to the receiving station. A channel is positioned beneath the further sorting holes of all of the deflection bars for receiving undersized coins from the bars for deposit into a collecting container. Each of the deflection bars consists of two separate portions which are adjustably connected to adjust the sizes of both sorting holes in each deflection bar.
