ABSTRACT:
An improved coin chute assembly wherein the housing contains a coin receiving opening, a first coin exit opening, a second coin exit opening, and a coin passageway disposed therein and interconnecting the coin receiving opening with the first and second coin exit openings. The coin passageway is characterized as having an upper coin path, a coin receiving section and a coin reject section, the upper coin path being oriented to permit a coin to fall in a substantially downward direction through the chute assembly and thus through the coin receiving section towards the first coin exit opening or through the coin reject section towards the second coin exit opening. A gate assembly is movably disposed in a portion of the coin path for blocking movement of a coin through the coin receiving section of the coin path in one position and directing the coin into the coin reject section; or for permitting movement of the coin into and through the coin receiving section while blocking movement of the coin through the coin reject section.
