Abstract

A coin lifting device adapted to receive a large number of coins and to discharge these one by one, comprising a coin receptacle having a flexible rotary coin-lifting disc; a generally concave fixed support for the disc against the surface of which the disc rotates, assuming as it does so the general contour of the support; the support being arranged between vertical and horizontal positions so as to impart to the disc a steeper inclination to the horizontal in the upper part of the rotational path thereof than in the lower part thereof; and a plurality of coin carriers on the disc, displaceable between projecting and retracted positions by the rotation of the disc upon the support.
