Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to coin wrappers, and more particularly to coin wrapping paper for denoting the denomination and value of coins wrapped therein.
  • the wrapper should be inexpensive to manufacture and use, and should be designed for use in an automatic wrapping machine.
  • the wrapper should convey information to the end user, i.e., a bank teller, and should quickly and easily release the coins when needed, while holding the coins securely together during rough handling.
  • 4,546,875 issued October 15, 1985 to Zweber which discloses a coin wrapping paper having a releasable adhesive on one side.
  • the length of a particular paper roll is selected to be slightly longer than the length of a selected coin stack, and it is preferable to encompass the coin stack two or three times to provide a sturdy roll.
  • the wrapping paper provides no indicia for the user, but is easily unrolled for coin removal and relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
  • U.S. Patent No. 673,373 issued April 30, 1901 to Youmans discloses a paper wrapper which has a pair of openings positioned to coincide with a printed denomination and value determined by the circumference of the particular denomination being wrapped.
  • the present invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems listed above.
  • a wrapper for wrapping a stack of coins which includes a flexible substrate having a width and a length and having a coin contacting side and an outer side.
  • a means such as adhesive, secures the substrate about the stack of coins.
  • a reference line is formed along the length of the substrate, and is viewable from the outer side.
  • Indicia is arranged in lines along the length of the substrate, and is viewable from the outer side.
  • Each of the lines of indicia provide information about a respective coin stack having a predetermined circumferential measurement and being spaced from the reference line by a distance correlative to the circumferential measurement of the respective coin stack.
  • the feeding means includes means for adjusting the selected length to permit the wrapping of coin stacks having different lengths.
  • a method for wrapping a stack of coins includes feeding a selected length of wrapping material slightly longer than the length of the stack of coins onto a wrapping surface.
  • the wrapping material has a reference line and indicia arranged in lines along its length in the direction of feed.
  • Each of the lines of indicia provide information about a respective coin stack having a predetermined circumferential measurement and being spaced from the reference line by a distance correlative to the circumferential measurement of the respective coin stack.
  • the stack of coins is rolled in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the feeding movement of the wrapping material, and the length of wrapping material is cut off of a continuous wrapping material supply roll is advance of the rolling of the stack of coins over the selected length.
  • the wrapper 10 is made of a flexible substrate 12, such as paper or plastic, which allows the wrapper 10 to encase a stack of coins.
  • a stack of coins is wrapped along the width of the coin contacting side 14 of the substrate 12 from a leading edge 16 to a trailing edge 18.
  • the coin contacting side 14 has selected portion coated with adhesive. The type of adhesive used and the preferable locations of the adhesive will be discussed in greater detail in conjunction with the method of operation of the wrapping mechanism shown in Fig. 3.
  • a reference line 20 and rows of indicia 22 are arranged along the length of the substrate 12.
  • the reference line 20 and indicia 22 are viewable from the outer side 24 of the substrate 12, so that after the substrate 12 is wrapped about a stack of coins the reference line 20 and at least some of the indicia 22 may be easily seen.
  • the reference line 20 is positioned along the trailing edge 18, and is preferably bold or otherwise easily discernable.
  • Each row of indicia 22 is generally parallel to the reference line, and is spaced from the reference line 20 by a distance correlative to the circumferential measurement of the coin stack about which the indicia provides information. As shown in Fig.
  • the bottom of the first row of indicia 22a is closest to the reference line 20, so that the distance therebetween is approximately equal to the circumferential measurement of the smallest coin to be wrapped by the wrapper 10.
  • the bottom of the last row of indicia 22g is furthest from the reference line 20, so that the distance therebetween is approximately equal to the circumferential measurement of the largest coin to be wrapped by the wrapper 10.
  • the reference line 20 underscores the row of indicia 22 which provides information about the wrapped stack of coins, as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the indicia 22 on the illustrated wrapper 10 contains information concerning U.S. currency, so each row of indicia 22a-22g is spaced from the reference line 20 by a distance approximately equal to the circumferential measurement of the respective U.S. coins. These distances are as follows: 2.215 inches for dimes, 2.356 inches for pennies, 2.623 inches for nickels, 3.000 inches for quarters, 3.277 inches for "Susan B. Anthony” dollars, 3.786 inches for half dollars, and 4.712 inches for "Eisenhower” dollars.
  • the indicia 22 provides information concerning the denomination and value of the U.S. coins. For instance, the first row of indicia 22a contains the indicia "$5 DIMES" repeated along the length of the substrate 12.
  • the reference line 20 underscores the first row of indicia 22a to communicate to the end user that there are five dollars of dimes, or fifty dimes, wrapped therein.
  • an arrow 26 followed by the words "READ VALUE HERE" appears beneath the reference line 20. This further directs the users attention to the row of indicia 22 for quick ascertainment of the value and denomination of the coins within the wrapper 10.
  • the words or symbols in each row are repeated along the length of the substrate 12, so that the wrapper 10 can be used to wrap coin stacks of varying lengths.
  • many businesses provide coin stacks of various lengths. Therefore, at least one set of words and symbols in each row of indicia 22 are discernable on any of the various lengths.
  • the words and symbols may denote more than one value for a particular denomination. In this case, both sets of words and symbols are discernable on any of the various lengths. For instance, banks, which usually provide only full wraps of quarters, would use indicia similar to "... $10 QUARTERS $10 QUARTERS ." The symbol “$10" and the word "QUARTERS" should appear at least once on every wrap.
  • Color standards provide information "at a glance", and may be used instead of or in conjunction with words or symbols in the rows of indicia 22.
  • the color green designates dimes
  • the color red designates pennies. Therefore, the reference line 20 underscores a green row of indicia when the wrapper 10 contains dimes, and underscores a red row of indicia when the wrapper 10 contains pennies. End users obtain information quickly and easily by glancing at the underscored color, thus improving efficiency and reducing the possibility of selecting the wrong coin roll.
  • the substrate 12 is opaque and covers rows of indicia which provide information about coin stacks having circumferential measurements which are larger than the circumferential measurement of the wrapped coin stack.
  • a paper substrate having the reference line and indicia printed thereon produces an opaque and inexpensive wrapper.
  • This type of wrapper 10 is preferable to a clear plastic wrapper because fewer rows of indicia 22 are visible to the user of the wrapped stacks.
  • the wrapped stack 28 contains nickels, since the reference line 20 underscores the row of indicia 22c which designates nickels.
  • the rows of indicia 22d-22g, which designate coins having larger circumferences, are covered by the substrate 12. Therefore, only three rows of indicia 22a-22c are visible to the user.
  • a coin wrapping device 30, shown in Fig. 3 utilizes a method for adjusting the length of the wrapping material.
  • the substrate 12 is withdrawn from a supply roll 32 by a pair of "three-­dimensional" sprocket belts 34 meshing with two corresponding rows of sprocket holes 36,38 in the substrate 12.
  • a "three-dimensional" sprocket belt is a commerically available item comprising a flexible metal cable having polymeric sprockets fastened to the cable at equal intervals along the length thereof.
  • Each sprocket has four lugs projecting therefrom at 90° intervals around the axis of the cable.
  • Each of the sprocket belts 34 is trained around a set of six sprocket wheels 39-44, with the wheel 39 being driven by an electric drive motor 46.
  • the motor and sprocket arrangement drives the substrate upwardly onto a wrapping surface 48.
  • the coin contacting side 14 of the substrate 12 is coated with a pressure-sensitive, releasable adhesive, such as the adhesives disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,418,120 as having good tack and shear properties, but low peel adhesion to stainless steel.
  • the adhesives adheres quickly to the outer surface of a stack of coins, and possesses sufficient shear strength to hold the stack of coins together during handling, and yet demonstrates a peel adhesion low enough to permit the substrate 12 to be readily peeled off of the coin stack without leaving any substantial residue of adhesive on the coins.
  • the adhesive coating is preferably continuous along the full length of the coin contacting side 14, and across the full width except for the strips which contain the rows of sprocket holes 36,38, which may be left uncoated to facilitate punching of the sprocket holes.
  • This type of adhesively backed substrate can be substantially equal to the length of the coin stack, and need be no more than about 3 millimeters longer than the coin stack, to hold the coins within the wrapper 10.
  • the substrate 12 is fed into the wrapping mechanism and onto the wrapping surface 48 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of rolling movement of the coin stack during wrapping (e.g., parallel to the axis of the coin stack).
  • a direction perpendicular to the direction of rolling movement of the coin stack during wrapping e.g., parallel to the axis of the coin stack.
  • the length of the substrate 12 which is fed onto the wrapping surface 48 is selected to be slightly longer than the stack of coins to be wrapped. Since crimping requires about 1.5 centimeters of additional length of each end of the coin stack, a significantly greater amount of material is required to wrap each coin stack.
  • a knife or similar cutting means, cuts the selected length L of substrate 12 across its width along a cutting line 49.
  • the knife is located on the leading side of the coin stack so that the substrate 12 is cut ahead of the coin stack, thereby detaching the selected length of substrate 12 from the supply roll so that the selected length can be wrapped around the coin stack as the stack is rolled along the adhesively coated coin contacting surface 14 of the substrate 12.
  • the arrangement of the reference line 20 and the rows of indicia 22 on the substrate 12 allow the substrate to be cut at the optimum length to fit a stack of coins, while providing accurate information regarding the coins within the wrapper 10. Therefore, cutting the substrate 12 to be substantially equal to the length of the coin stack, as described above, is conducive to automated wrapping.
  • the width of the substrate 12 is optimized. If the coin contacting side 14 of the substrate is coated with a pressure-sensitive, releasable adhesive, the width of the wrapper 10 is selected to be about 1.5 times the circumferential measurement of the largest coin to be wrapped.
  • U.S. currency ranges from a dime having a circumferential measurement of 2.215 inches to an "Eisenhower" dollar having a circumferential measurement of 4.712 inches.
  • a substrate 12 having a width of 6.500 inches produces 1.4 revolutions about the "Eisenhower” dollar, and produces 2.9 revolutions about the dime. This width provides adequate support for coins of all denominations within the U.S. currency system.
  • the vast majority of coins in circulation are dimes, pennies, nickels and quarters. Therefore, the amount of wrapping material is further minimized by providing a roll of wrapping material having a width of 4.500 inches. The material is wide enough to adequately secure quarters and all other smaller coins.
