Herein disclosed is a coin wrapping apparatus of a new construction, by which a stack of a predetermined number of coins is automatically wrapped with a predetermined length of wrapping tape. By the coin wrapping apparatus of an embodiment of this invention, the stack of large or small diameter coins can be selectively wrapped with a large or small amount of wrapping tape to fit the diameter of coins to be wrapped.

A device is provided for examining paper money or the like while it is being transported by a delivery device. Comprising a storage device for storing therein paper money discriminated by a discriminating device. A temporary reservoir isdisposed between the discriminating device and the paper money storage device and includes a transparent glass sheet. The paper money which has been judged as being proper by the discriminating device is temporarily stopped in the reservoir so that the paper mone...

A sheet discriminating apparatus includes a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a plurality of lines perpendicular to a sheet conveyance direction. A plurality of light receiving elements are positioned so that each faces an associated one of the light emitting elements. When a sheet is conveyed by the light emitting elements, at least one of the light receiving elements is partially screened by the side edge of the sheet. Length detection circuitry is provided for detecting the len...

A plurality of suction shafts are rotatably mounted in a rotatable cylinder which is driven counter-clockwise. Each of the suction shafts is rotatably driven clockwise and is provided with a curved suction surface having its axis of curvature in a plane perpendicular to the rotational axis thereof. Openings are formed in the curved suction surfaces for communicating a vacuum pump through the interiors of the suction shafts with the atmosphere.

Money counting machine comprising a switch which produces signal pulses corresponding to the counted number of coins, a plural-digit counter which receives said signal pulses from the switch and produces bit signals corresponding to digits representing the counted coins together with sequentially produced clock pulses corresponding to particular digits, NAND gates connected with the counter allow an output to pass therethrough and through a selector switch when the selected number of coins are c...

A device for detecting stacks of coins for use in a coins-packaging machine adapted to wrap each stack of a predetermined number of coins with wrapping paper, said device comprising a stacking cylinder of an electrically insulating material for receiving coins supplied through the upper inlet thereof and stacking the coins thus supplied face to face relation each other to form therein a stack of predetermined number of coins, an electrically conductive bottom plate disposed adjacent the lower op...

Memory device including an input circuit adapted to provide signal pulses to be applied to an IC counter so that they are counted by the counter. Auxiliary power source is provided to supply the power circuit in the counter to maintain the memory therein despite interruption of power supply. A set-and-reset type flip-flop circuit is provided between the input circuit and the counter in such a manner that the signal pulses are applied directly to one of the set and reset terminals and through an ...

A leaves counting machine comprising a rotor having a plurality of suction heads arranged on a rotary disc. Leaves are counted by drawing and turning over them one by one by the suction heads in the course of rotation of the rotor. Changes in a suction pressure during the suction of leaves onto the suction heads are detected by a pressure transducer and the counting is executed by the use of pulses detected by the pressure transducer.

A timing signal generating device operates in response to angular displacement of a rotating shaft. The shaft has a disc provided with a reference mark and a plurality of timing marks apart from one another in a circumferential direction. A first detector is located adjacent to the disc to detect the reference mark and to reset a shift register. A second detector is also located adjacent to the disc to generate timing pulses in response to the timing marks and supply the pulses to the shift regi...

A device for detecting the thickness of sheets comprising a seizing roller on a first shaft mounted for counterclockwise rotation and a feed roller on a second shaft mounted for clockwise rotation and having a diameter smaller than that of the first shaft. The seizing roller includes a peripheral portion having a peripheral length slightly longer than each of bank notes to be transferred and cooperating with the feed roller and a recess for receiving the forward end of each bank note. The forwar...
