A device for sorting disks or disk-like members of different identities
(e.g., roulette chips) that ejects the disks from a receptacle by means
of a rotating wheel with numerous wells, such as multi-chip storage
compartments. Ejection of an article from the numerous wells is achieved
by an ejector lever making contact with an activated solenoid thus
forcing the article at the bottom of the well, in conjunction with the
momentum of the rotating wheel, into a receiving space. The disks in the
receiving spaces are continually replaced by newly arriving disks, which
force the previously positioned disks upwards into a column.
