ABSTRACT:
A coin slide apparatus which includes a housing for mounting the apparatus to a machine, a coin slide assembly, and a guideway in the housing for the coin slide assembly to operate within. The coin slide assembly is reciprocally operable in the guideway from an extended coin receiving position through coin authenticating and coin ejection positions to a position for operation of the machine. The coin side assembly provides a first coin authenticating means through the size and shape of the coin slots. Further authentication or measuring means are provided through provisions for washer or magnetic coin rejection means. The coins are secondarily measured for proper diameter within the apparatus by a cam and abutment arrangement which cooperates with a plurality of latch arms to prevent full insertion of the slide assembly if a coin is not of proper diameter. Also, a change in coin elevation from a first higher elevation to a second lower elevation is provided to prevent improper actuation by wedging an object in a slot or slots. Coin ejection means is provided after authentication to insure that coins are deposited in the coin receptacle.
