Abstract

A sensor is positioned adjacent the wrapping rollers of a coin wrapping machine in the passage of the wrapping sheet. The sensor issues a sheet detection signal when the sheet is detected by the sensor. The control device is also provided with sheet feeding rollers for feeding the wrapping sheet along the passage of the wrapping sheet toward the wrapping rollers. The sheet detection signal is used to control the driving of the sheet feeding rollers, and to stop the sheet feeding rollers in response to the sheet detection signal, so as to stop the leading end of the sheet at a position near the sensor. In this way, the wrapping sheet is advanced from a position near the sensor when the wrapping operation is started. When certain conditions associated with the wrapping sheet are detected in the control device, corresponding alarm signals are issued and the coin wrapping machine is stopped.

Dependent claims

A sheet feeding control device for use in a coin wrapping machine wherein coins accumulated in a predetermined number are wrapped with a wrapping sheet by wrapping rollers, said device comprising:

sheet feeding rollers for feeding the wrapping sheet toward the wrapping rollers;
a sensor positioned adjacent the wrapping rollers along the path of the wrapping sheet for detecting the presence of the wrapping sheet in a given position along said path to generate a sheet detection signal;
a cutter positioned between said sensor and said sheet feeding rollers for cutting the wrapping sheet at the end of the wrapping operation;
driving means for driving said sheet feeding rollers to advance the leading end of the wrapping sheet toward the wrapping rollers after the wrapping sheet is cut by said cutter;
and
stopping means for stopping said sheet feeding rollers in response to said sheet detection signal so as to stop the leading end of the wrapping sheet at a position near said sensor until the wrapping operation is started;
whereby the wrapping sheet is then advanced from a position near the sensor once the wrapping operation is started.
