Device enabling the conveying, one by one, of coins inserted in bulk in a receptacle

Device enabling the conveying, one by one, of the coins deposited in bulk in a basket, characterized in that at least the lower portion of the said basket is a hopper substantially in the form of a truncated pyramid tapering towards the top and comprising a first substantially vertical face (2) a second oblique face (3) forming, with the first face, a first dihedral (4) having a horizonal ridge and a value less than 90.degree., a third face (5) and a fourth face (6) which are lateral, constituting a second dihedral (7) having a ridge substantially perpendicular to the said first face, in that the bottom of the said hopper extends by a passage (10) having parallel lateral edges extending the said third and fourth faces from the place where the width of the bottom of the hopper is greater than the largest diameter of the parts used but less than twice the diameter of the smallest coins used, the bottom of that passage being constituted by the extension of the said second face of the hopper, in that a first roller (9) having an axis parallel to the ridge of the said first dihedral is placed at least partly inside the hopper at the place where the connection is made between the latter and the said passage and in such a way that its nearest generatrix to the second face be distant from the latter by a value greater than the thickness of the thickest coin used but smaller than twice the thickness of the thinnest coin used, the said roller (9) being driven in a rotating movement in the opposite direction to the natural movement of the coins under the effect of gravity and in that a second roller (15), having an axis perpendicular to the said second face of the hopper and situated outside it, enters partly inside the hooper due to a through window (16) formed in the third face (5) of the hopper, the base of the roller facing the said second face of the hopper being at a distance from that second face less than the thickness of the thinnest coin used and that roller being driven in a rotating movement in the direction which is opposite to the natural movement of the coins under the effect of gravity.
