ABSTRACT:
A coin dispensing apparatus is disclosed having a hopper for storing coins, a rotary disc rotatably mounted within said hopper at an angle to the horizontal, a plurality of delivery pins spaced in the peripheral direction on said rotary disc, a delivery knife for guiding coins at the upper delivery portion to a discharge chute and a counter at the upper delivery portion. The rotary disc is rotatably supported on a supporting plate by means of a plurality of balls interposed between the bottom surface of the rotary disc and the upper surface of the supporting plate and the rotary disc is urged toward the supporting plate so as to obtain effective engagement therebetween through the balls. The counter has a removable and replaceable counter roller rotatably mounted on a rocker arm having an actuating arm adapted for moving into a slot between a pair of sensor coils of an electromagnetic sensor such as a proximity switch or a slot switch. The counter roller is normally positioned in the delivery passage opposite the delivery knife and urged towards the latter by means of spring so that when a coin is delivered to the delivery passage along the delivery knife, the rocker arm is pivoted by the coin so as to move the actuating arm into the slot of the sensor to make switching action. The counter roller is removable and replaceable with different diameter counter rollers to accommodate varying denominations of coins.
