PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To consider reference concerning articles more than those which can be considered within time which can be used for confirming operation by comparing a measured characteristic with reference related to another type of an article. SOLUTION: While a coin 6 passes through along the passage 8 of a confirming device 4, the coin 6 is electromagnetically inspected by an inspection part 9 and the device 4 provides a signal showing whether the coin 6 can be accepted or not and a signal showing the money kind of the coin 6 at the time of being acceptable. Next, an acceptable coin 6 enters a coin separator 10 as the result of the operation of an accepting/rejecting gate 11 according to an accepting result from the device 4. The separator 10 is provided with many gates to allow the coin 6 to turn its direction from a main passage 12 to one of many other passages 14, 16 and 18 or to advance to a passage 20 to a coin box 21 along the passage 12. When the coin 6 can not be accepted, the gate 11 is not operated and led to a rejecting port through a coin passage 30. | ||||||

A coin discriminating apparatus includes a magnetic sensor for detecting magnetic properties of a coin being transported and producing magnetic data of the coin, an optical sensor for producing optical data of the coin, a reference optical data memory for storing reference optical data of an obverse surface and a reverse surface of coins of each denomination, a reference magnetic data memory for storing reference magnetic data of an obverse surface and a reverse surface of coins of each denomination to be discriminated, a first coin discriminator for comparing optical data of the coin produced by the optical sensor with reference optical data of an obverse surface and a reverse surface of coins of each denomination and determining whether or not the coin is acceptable and the denomination of the coin, and a second coin discriminator for reading from the reference magnetic data memory magnetic reference data selected depending upon whether reference optical data of the obverse surface of a coin of a certain denomination or those of the reverse surface of the coin of the denomination were used when the first coin discriminator determined the coin to be acceptable and the denomination of the coin based thereon and comparing them with the magnetic data produced by the magnetic sensor, thereby finally discriminating whether or not the coin is acceptable and the denomination of the coin. According to the thus constituted coin discriminating apparatus, it is possible to accurately discriminate a counterfeit coin even when optical data acquired from the counterfeit coin such as diameter data and surface pattern data thereof coincide with those of genuine coins of a certain denomination and when the magnetic data acquired from the counterfeit coin are similar to those of coins of the denomination. |

185 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TESTING COINS | PCT/US1992008783 | 1992-10-15 | WO1993021608A1 | 1993-10-28 | MARS INCORPORATED; FURNEAUX, David, Michael; WAITE, Timothy, Peter; BAILEY, John, William; RALPH, Alan; CHITTLEBOROUGH, Michael; SAGADY, Cary |
A method of testing a coin (10) in a coin testing mechanism, comprising subjecting a coin (10) inserted into the mechanism to an oscillating field generated by an inductor (104), measuring the reactance and the loss of the inductor (104) when the coin (10) is in the field, and determining whether the direction in the impedance plane of a displacement line, representing the displacement of a coin-present point (b, c, d) which is defined by the measurements, relative to a coin-absent point (a) representing the inductor reactance and loss in the absence of a coin, corresponds to a reference direction in the impedance plane. The reactance and loss measurements may be taken by a phase discrimination method. Techniques and apparatus are disclosed for compensating for phase error in the phase discrimination, for measuring the direction of the displacement line relative to a different axis, for applying offsets to achieve advantages in signal handling, for making the measurements thickness-sensitive, and for using the change in reactance as an additional coin acceptance criterion. Some of these refinements are usable independantly of the phase discrimination method. | ||||||

191 | COIN VALIDATOR | PCT/GB1996002944 | 1996-11-28 | WO1997027567A1 | 1997-07-31 | COIN CONTROLS LTD. |
A coin validator (1) is operable in a set up mode prior to normal operation, in which initial window data (W) stored in its memory, is compared with data from a known true coin, and the initial window is progressively dragged and shrunk depending on the outcome of the comparison, to produce an operating window (W'), narrower than the initial window, which can be used during normal operation of the validator, for comparison with coin data (x) from coins under test, in order to determine coin acceptability. The initial window (W) can be the same for all validators of the same design, and the dragging and shrinking configures the operating window (W') to the validators individually, to take account of manufacturing tolerances. | ||||||

This disclosure is directed to a coin slide assembly for use in a coin operated machine having a coin slide provided with one or more coin slots, each arranged for accommodating a coin in a vertical or a standing on edge position in side by side relationship. Locking dogs are operatively associated with the slide to prohibit the advancement of the coin slide toward an inserted operative position unless a properly sized coin is disposed on edge in the appropriate coin slots. Cam actuators are associated with a coin track carried by the locking dog to render the coin assembly operative only when a coin of proper diameter and/or thickness is carried in the respective coin slot between the cam actuator and coin track. The assembly also includes provisions for effecting adjustment of a coin slot and/or actuating cam to accept coins of various sizes, or the blanking of a particular coin slot in order to inactivate it. The assembly further provides for blocking the coin opening through which the coin slot is inserted into the associated machine, to prohibit access to the coins after the slide has advanced past the coin opening toward an inserted operative position.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a coin mechanism while miniaturizing it rather than a known vending machine having the same function by composing the coin mechanism of a coin distributing means and a money box arranged to be used above the coin distributing means. SOLUTION: A coin mechanism 1 is constituted so as to determine which denomination of coins can be accepted, which denomination of coins among the acceptable denominations is to be turned toward a money box 40 and which denomination of coins among the coins turned toward coin storage tubes 36 and 38 is to be used for change. Then, the money box 40 is arranged while being partially hidden in the left half of a coin storage part 10 behind an exclusion passage 12, and extended between a coin separator 8 and a coin distributing part 14. The money box 40 is provided with four walls and a base part and its upper part is opened for storing coins from the separator 8. The width of the money box 40 is set double as wide as the width of the respective coin storage tubes 36 and 38. Besides, this coin distributing part 14 is composed of two distributors and the respective distributors are respectively arranged under the respective coin storage tubes 36 and 38.

200 | COIN VALIDATION APPARATUS AND METHOD | EP96909234.0 | 1996-04-03 | EP0819286A1 | 1998-01-21 | ALI, Riaz |
A coin validator with an improved coin processing rate, performs primary validation testing on coins (3) at a primary validation station (5) as successive coins roll down a coin rundown path (4). Unacceptable coins pass to a coin reject path (12) but coins found acceptable by the primary validation testing are deflected by a solenoid operated gate (11) to a coin accept path (13). The acceptable coins pass a further sensor coil (C4). Auxiliary coin testing is carried out by a microprocessor (7) by analysing the time taken for the coin to reach and move away from the further sensor (C4). The microprocessor performs undertimer and overtimer routines (figures 3A, B) and if the coin arrives within the under and overtimer ranges (t1, t2), the coin is accepted. When the coin throughput rate is increased, the undertimer is switched off in order to permit the coin throughput rate for valid coins to be increased, without loss of security. |
