Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Parcelling Coins.
Inventor: OLLAND WILLEM CAREL
Filed: 1907-10-19
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 23,134. Olland, W. C. Oct. 19. Conveyers.-In a machine for inserting predetermined numbers of coins in packets, the packets 39 to be filled are mounted in holes in a conveyer belt 24. Beneath a rotating table is a disk 21, which is driven from the table and is arranged to make one revolution while one set of packets is filled. At the conclusion of the filling operation, a notch 53 in the disk 21 comes opposite a projection on a flexible spring 22, and allows a vertical bar 26 to rise slightly and prevent further rotation of the frictionally-driven table by contact with a projection on it. If the correct number of coins has been inserted in each packet, an electric circuit, which contains spring contact-pieces controlled by counting-apparatus, is closed just as the bar 26 is raised. The consequent energization of the magnet 23 causes the bar 26 to lift further and to release the frictionally-driven conveyer 24, which carries away the filled packets and replaces them hy empty ones. As soon as the conveyer has moved sufficiently for this purpose, the electric circuit is automatically broken, thus allowing the bar 26 to descend and thereby locking the conveyer and unlocking the table.
