Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for taking out sorted coins in a coin sorting and counting machine.

That is, in a coin sorting and counting machine configured to feed mixed coins into a sorting and counting track section and transporting them, coins of each denomination are sequentially sorted and dropped into respective storage boxes for each denomination below. With this conventional structure, for example, when various mixed coins deposited for each customer are sorted and counted, and the counted contents are compared with the contents of the deposit slip written by the customer, the sorted coins are the same as those previously sorted. Since the sorted coins are mixed with the sorted coins, there is a drawback that if the collation results do not match, it is not possible to take out the sorted coins and count them again for confirmation.

The present invention solves this drawback, and when the counted contents match the contents of the deposit slip, the sorted coins that have been pooled are dropped into a storage box and stored.
If they do not match, it can be taken out to the outside, and in particular, the operation of dropping and storing can be performed all at once, and it has a simple structure so that it can be operated reliably and easily and suitably.
