1. Apparatus for automatically boxing cylindrical goods, particularly a plurality of uniformly-dimensioned cylindrical rolls of coins fed by at least one machine producing such cylindrical goods, which apparatus comprises:

  • means to longitudinally align a plurality of individuals of said goods and to move them in said aligned condition in parallel with said axis;

    means to change the movement direction of said goods and to align a plurality of them by gravity with the longitudinal axes thereof in parallel relationship and to move said goods at a right angle to said axes;

    means to arrange one-by-one a plurality of empty prefabricated boxes on the goods path as said goods move by gravity at a right angle to the axes thereof;

    means to immobilize, temporarily, each said box during the filling thereof;

    means controlled by a counting mechanism driven by the passage of said goods, and so arranged as to release by gravity each respective, resultingly filled box and to operate said arranging and temporarily immobilizing means to replace the respective resultingly filled box by an empty box;

    means to discharge the filled box;

    said means for aligning the goods along the axis thereof and for moving same in aligned condition in parallel relationship therewith being comprised of an endless belt driven with a continuous motion, on the top side of which individuals of the goods from said machine are dumped one at a time, the lengthwise axis of said belt side lying in a horizontal plane and the belt side making an angle therewith, and a guide extending in parallel relationship with said lengthwise axis of the belt side adjacent the belt side edge lying underneath said horizontal plane, said guide projecting over a distance at least equal to the radius of said individuals of said goods, relative to the belt side and extending on either side of that location where the goods are dumped.
