Coin-roll storing machine

Abstract

The present invention provides a coin-roll storing machine which can reduce the dimension in the width direction and facilitate to ensure the installation space, as compared with those of a type including a plurality of coin-roll storing portions each adapted to put the coin-roll on the bottom face such that the axis of each coin-roll package extends in the horizontal width direction. In one aspect, a coin-roll storing machine 1 includes a storing main body 1 a , and three coin-roll drawers 11, 12, 13 , respectively provided such that they can be drawn out relative to the storing main body 1 a . In the respective coin-roll drawers 11, 12, 13 , a plurality of coin-roll storing portion 14 are provided, each for storing coin-roll B, with each axis of the coin-roll B being oriented in the vertical direction.

1 . A coin-roll storing machine, comprising: 
 a storing main body; and    a coin-roll drawer which is provided such that it can be drawn out relative to the storing main body, and having a plurality of coin-roll storing portions, each for storing coin-roll with each axis of coin-roll being oriented in the vertical direction.    
   
   
       2 . The coin-roll storing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the coin-roll drawer is configured such that it can be drawn out, by hand, in the horizontally longitudinal direction, between its closed position and its drawn-out position, relative to the storing main body.  
   
   
       3 . The coin-roll storing machine according to  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 a displacement detection means for detecting the displacement in the longitudinal direction of the coin-roll drawer relative to the storing main body;    a coin-roll diameter sensor including a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit respectively fixed to the coin-roll storing main body in positions opposed to each other across an area through which the coin-roll stored in the coin-roll drawer will pass, during drawing out and pushing in the coin-roll drawer, the coin-roll diameter sensor being adapted to output a signal corresponding to presence or absence of shading due to the coin-roll; and    a judgment means for judging the number and the kind of money of the coin-roll stored in each coin-roll storing portion of the coin-roll drawer, based on the displacement in the longitudinal direction of the coin-roll drawer to be detected by the displacement detection means as well as on the output of the coin-roll diameter sensor.    
   
   
       4 . The coin-roll storing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the coin-roll storing portions of the coin-roll drawer has an axis extending in the vertical direction and a cylindrical shape having a bottom face, the internal diameter of each coin-roll storing portion being slightly larger than the outer diameter of the coin-roll to be stored therein, and wherein a projection is selectively formed at the bottom face to extend vertically upward, depending on presence or absence of a hole of the coin-roll to be stored therein.  
   
   
       5 . The coin-roll storing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the coin-roll storing portions of the coin-roll drawer has an axis extending in the vertical direction and a cylindrical shape having a bottom face, the internal diameter of each coin-roll storing portion being slightly larger than the outer diameter of the coin-roll to be stored therein, and wherein a circular opening is formed in the bottom face to have an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the coin-roll to be stored therein.
