ABSTRACT:
The device includes structure defining a first passageway dimensioned to pass coins one at a time in edge-on orientation and structure defining a second passageway dimensioned to pass coins one at a time in edge-on orientation communicating with one end of the first passageway and extending transversely thereto. The junction between the first and second passageways is dimensioned to allow the faces of the coins to pivot by about 90.degree. within such junction. The device also includes structure defining a tubular reservoir mentioned to receive a supply of coins in face to face stacked relationship with the tubular axis of the reservoir extending normally to the first passageway and with one end of the tubular reservoir opening into the first passageway. A slide member is received in the other end of the first passageway for reciprocating motion therewithin. The slide member has sufficient length to move a coin received in the first passageway from the reservoir into the junction between the first and second passageways. The tubular reservoir may be removable from the structure defining the first passageway in which case structure is provided for retaining coins in the reservoir against accidental discharge therefrom. According to one embodiment of this invention, the device may be formed integrally with the coin inlet structure of the slot machine and according to another embodiment of this invention, the device is adapted to be removably mounted on the coin inlet structure of the slot machine.
