The coin which possesses giza (G) in the giza

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inexpensively provide a reeding detection apparatus detecting reeding formed on the peripheral surface of a coin as a first object, and to inexpensively provide a coin sorting apparatus having the reeding detection apparatus as a second object.;SOLUTION: An end of a detection body provided contactable with an upper side peripheral surface of a coin rolling on a coin path hooks into reeding of the coin, and thus the detection body is moved in a moving direction. The movement of the detection body moves a receiving portion in the same direction, and rotates in a predetermined direction a bearing integrally provided with the receiving portion. The rotation of the bearing retracts from the coin path a sorting body projecting to the coin path. A release body proceeds to the coin path. The retraction of the sorting body from the coin path allows the coin to further roll on the coin path, press the release body, rotate the bearing reversely, and return the detection body and the sorting body to a standby position. When the coin does not have reeding, the detection body is not moved as the above because the end of the detection body does not hook into the coin. Consequently, the coin is prevented from being rolled by the sorting body located in the coin path and sorted as a counterfeit coin.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
