Coin separating and transferring apparatus for positioning a sorted coin at an interim stationary position

A coin separating and transferring apparatus comprising:

• a storing container for storing bulk coins;
• a rotary disk mounted for rotation about a rotational axis to contact any bulk coins in the storage container, the rotary disk is mounted at an angle to gravitational forces to enable a sliding movement of coins on the rotary disk;
• a pusher unit is connected to a surface on the rotary disk for contacting and moving coins on the rotary disk;
• and
• a guiding member is positioned to extend across a portion of the rotary disk and to direct coins for release from the rotary disk and includes a coin support ledge positioned above the slanted rotary disk rotational axis and extending to a delivery support ledge which provides a stationary coin position prior to the coin release from the rotary disk;
• and
• a rotary transferring unit having a plurality of push levers, is aligned with the stationary coin position to contact and transfer the stationary coin from the rotary disk by contact with one of the push levers,
• wherein the pusher unit will separate a coin from the stored bulk coins and position the separated coin on the coin support ledge, for movement along the guiding member to the stationary coin position, the pusher unit supporting the separated coin at the stationary coin position until removed from the rotary disk.
