20150302678 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPURPOSING CURRENCY - A method of repurposing coins includes the acts of discharging processed mixed coins into a coin bin, receiving a first request for a number of or value of coins of a first denomination from an authorized person, outputting the mixed coins from the coin bin onto a coin conveyor responsive to the received first request, conveying the mixed coins output from the coin bin, using the coin conveyor, to the coin processing machine for repurposing, and discharging the coins of the first denomination from the coin processing machine to a secure coin cassette and discharging coins of a denomination other than the first denomination back to the coin bin. These acts of outputting, conveying and discharging are continued until the number of or value of coins of the first denomination have been discharged to the secure coin cassette. | 10-22-2015 |
20110207390 | CHIP STACK CUTTER DEVICES FOR DISPLACING CHIPS IN A CHIP STACK AND CHIP-STACKING APPARATUSES INCLUDING SUCH CUTTER DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS - Apparatuses for stacking chips include a container for receiving unstacked chips, a carrier comprising a channel for carrying a chip stack, a transport system for transporting chips from the container towards the carrier, and at least one ejector system for ejecting or moving chips from the transport system into the channel of the carrier. Chip stack cutter devices may include an elongated displacement member, which may extend from an actuating lever member movably coupled to a base member configured to slide along a channel of a chip stack carrier. In additional embodiments, the cutter device may include an energy-responsive device configured to selectively move an elongated displacement member for displacing a number of chips in a chip stack carried in a channel of a chip stack carrier. | 08-25-2011 |

20080293347 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A COIN DISPENSING DEVICE AND A COIN DISPENSING DEVICE - A method for operating a coin dispensing device, the coin dispensing device having a plurality of coin dispensing modules, wherein at least one coin tube for holding coins of a predetermined nominal value is assigned to each dispensing module, each dispensing module being adapted to dispense a coin held in the coin tube assigned to the dispensing module in a dispensing cycle and in response to a control signal, wherein at least two coin tubes assigned to different dispensing modules contain coins of the same nominal value and in one dispensing cycle, a plurality of coin dispensing modules are being activated. | 11-27-2008 |
20130115866 | COIN CHANGING SYSTEM - The invention discloses a coin changing system. The present invention is capable of sensing the coin storing condition of each of the plurality of the accommodating modules arranged in the matrix form of more than 2 rows and 2 columns simultaneously, without limiting the arrangement thereof. Furthermore, the unique design of the guiding component of the present invention is capable of avoiding the coins from getting jammed during the accommodating process thereof. Nevertheless, the present invention requires only one single motor to deal the coins of each of the plurality of the accommodating modules so as to minimize the size of the coin changing system of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention overcomes the problems presented in the prior art by a relatively simple design. | 05-09-2013 |
