Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8505478A1] A device for counting and sorting coins in a coin collector having a guiding path (8) tangentially connected to a horizontal coin disk (3) must allow foreign coins (11') to come out through an outlet opening (16). To this effect, behind a coin recognition device (14) and directly before the outlet (16) there is movably arranged a deviation element (18) for the coins (11') that have been recognized by the recognition device (14) as being false coins or foreign coins and of which the front edge (35) is spaced apart by at least the width of the guiding stick from the guiding edge (9), the deviation element (18) being controllable by the recognition device (14). The deviation element (18) brought in active position in the displacement path of the coins (11, 11') spaces the coins away from the guiding edge (9) by at least a gap equal to or larger than the width of the guiding stick (17). Thereby, the foreign coins (11') to be taken out may come out through the outlet opening (16). In order to improve its recognition capacity, the coin recognition device (14) is additionally provided with a light guide line stick (31) for the recognition of the diameter, inductive heads (32, 33) for the recognition of the alloy of the coins (11, 11'), respectively for determining the thickness of the coins (11, 11'). Furthermore, other structural elements are provided for the recognition of the string of coins and for the structure of their surfaces.
