The coin sorting apparatus (硬 貨 選 別 裝置)

摘要

A movable side plate is openably connected at the upper side to and spaced sidewardly from a stationary side plate to define a coin sorting passage in between. At least one set of transmitting and receiving coils is positioned in alignment with each other at the opposite sides of the passage, respective, for detecting a load impedance of a coin. A stationary retainer frame mounts both of the coils in fixed rotation in order to maintain a predetermined distance between them. A track for running a coin through the passage between the coils is adapted to retract sideways out of the passage to downwardly open the passage so that a coin, stopped in the passage between the coils, falls from it to remove a coin stopped in it.
