ABSTRACT:
A coin handling apparatus for transporting coins from a hooper location through a transfer station to an ejection site. The apparatus has a first rotatable disc assembly with a coin inlet filter for filtering out oversized or bent coins. An undersized coin slot located along a transport path permits smaller coins than the desired denomination to pass therethrough out of the coin transport path. The coin transfer station includes a knife edge for directing the coins into the inlet of a coin tower in such a manner that the coins are forced upwardly toward an outlet. Along the transport path the coin are constrained both in a radial direction and a lateral direction to prevent jamming. A coin interlock mechanism located in the escalator prevents theft of the coins via the outlet. The interlock mechanism includes a sliding and pivoting interlock member which can only be successfully operated from below by an advancing coin.
