Claims12
A coin sorting apparatus, comprising:
- a mount comprising an angled surface with a recess and a cutout;
- a coin tube comprising a protrusion configured to engage with the recess and a bottom configured to engaged with the cutout;
- and
- a coin wrapper configured to rest against a body of the coin tube, wherein the coin wrapper is positioned within a partial cutout of the coin tube, wherein the mount is magnetically coupled to a base of the coin sorting apparatus, the base supporting the mount from below with respect to gravity, and wherein a cross-section of the cutout of the mount is a circular shape, wherein a diameter of the circular shape is less than a width of the angled surface, and wherein the cutout is shaped to receive a lower portion of the coin tube, wherein the angled surface supports the coin tube from below with respect to gravity.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a coin sorting apparatus comprising a plurality of coin tubes arranged on a plurality of mounts, wherein the plurality of mounts are magnetically coupled to a base of the coin sorting apparatus, each coin tube of the plurality of coin tubes comprises a coin wrapper arranged thereon, the coin wrapper is configured to receive a coin dispensed from an outlet manifold in a first direction parallel to gravity and redirect the coin in a second direction at an angle to gravity, wherein the plurality of coin tubes is configured to receive and release the coin wrapper of a plurality of coin wrappers without being moved, wherein the coin wrapper is positioned within a partial cutout of the coin tube, wherein the coin tube has a cylindrical body of fixed diameter along a longitudinal length, and wherein the partial cutout is of the cylindrical body such that cylindrical walls of the cylindrical body at the partial cutout surround only a portion of the coin wrapper, and wherein cylindrical surfaces of the coin wrapper are in face-sharing contact with the walls of the cylindrical body longitudinally along an entirety of the partial cutout, the base supporting the mount from below with respect to gravity, and wherein a cross-section of the cutout of the mount is a circular shape, wherein a diameter of the circular shape is less than a width of the angled surface, and wherein the cutout is shaped to receive a lower portion of the coin tube, wherein the angled surface supports the coin tube from below with respect to gravity.
