Embodiment Construction

[0027] The washing machine shown here is for gaming chips used in casinos. The machine shown in Figure 1 has a chip holding section 10, a control panel 9, transport wheels 20, a washing section 30, a drying chamber 40 and a collection drawer 50 for washed and dried gaming chips. Portion 60 may provide access to cleaning chemicals and rinse water. The holding section 10 accepts columns of chips 11 loaded in an array of inclined trays 12 formed by a y-section on a central axis so that a 120° counterclockwise rotation of the axis transports the columns of chips 11 to the lower left side. a tray. A single chip feeding mechanism takes a single chip from the lowermost end of the leftmost tray and feeds the chip into a chute 19 which guides the chip to a transport wheel 20 . The chip feeding mechanism may be as described in WO 00 / 16867. Any mechanism that separates out individual chips or coins for delivery to the delivery wheels may be used.

[0028] The transport wheel 20 has a...

Abstract

A machine for cleaning gaming chips or coins which includes means to convey individual coins or chips to a carrier wheel consisting of a vertically oriented disc having arranged about its periphery a plurality of coin or chip sized open recesses to receive individual coins or chips so that the coins or chips are supported on their edges and both faces of the coins or chips are exposed. The carrier wheel rotates through a washing station, a drying station arranged about said carrier wheel such that a drying air stream passes over and around said coins or chips in said carrier wheel. The coin or chip recesses in the carrier wheel are crenellated to allow washing fluid and the drying air stream to pass over the edges of the coins or chips. A total residence time for each chip that is sufficient to clean and dry the chips will lie in the range of 10 to 20 seconds.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a machine for cleaning gaming chips. Background technique [0002] Gaming chips and coins become contaminated and dirty through use and can become vectors for bacteria and microorganisms. The most common solution to this problem is to hand wash or discard. This is generally considered time consuming and expensive. [0003] In washing and drying gaming chips, the quality of the chip and its indicia must not be degraded. [0004] Washers for coins and chips have been proposed, but have not been commercially successful. [0005] US Patent 5,538,562 discloses a coin cleaning system in which coins are transported face up by a conveyor and then effectively cleaned by a pair of brushes. As the coins are conveyed face down past the lamps, the coins are dried by radiant heat. [0006] US Patent 6435953 is a coin washer with a similar face down transport mechanism. [0007] WO / 9916026 discloses a gaming chip washer in which chips a...
