ABSTRACT:
The coins roll along track surfaces (1, 2, 3) merely supporting the bottoms of the coins, these track surfaces each being associated with respectively one steep guide surface supporting the coins along one side. The guide surfaces are formed on plates (11, 19, 24) that can be spread apart by pivoting. Beside the end of a first track surface (1) oriented toward a baffle surface (8), a second track surface (2) begins that extends in the opposite direction, on which the coins roll into a steadying chamber (15) having a V-shaped bottom cross section (35, 36), from which emanates a third track surface (3) on which the previously steadied coins pass through a coin checking station (20) at a velocity independent of the speed with which the coins have reached the steadying chamber (15).
Foreign bodies inserted in the coin guide that do not drop over the edge of the first track surface (1) lying in opposition to the guide surface (4) associated therewith, and that get caught or stuck on the second or third track surface (2, 3), can be released by spreading the plates (11, 19, 24) apart by pivoting them relative to each other so that the foreign bodies drop down. Auxiliary objects introduced for abuse of the coin guide jut into empty space in the area in front of the guide surface (4) associated with the first track surface (1) and cannot pass the reversing point of the track surface (1, 2) at the baffle surface (8) and can thus cause practically no damage.
