ABSTRACT:
A coin machine for collection and checking of different types of coins and for release of a device for dispensing goods when the proper number of coins for the item purchase price is inserted into the coin machine. The coin-checking device comprises a carrier plate arranged vertically between a housing front and back wall, wherein at least on one side of the carrier plate there is located parallel thereto a coin-checking plate which can be tilted. Adjacent to the coin-checking plate there is located parallel to the carrier plate a coin-channel plate which is fitted with inclined slots, through which extend angular protrusions of a lower plate and which form the bottom of the running channels for the coins. The coin-channel plate is also parallel to the carrier plate and can also be swiveled. Furthermore, there is provided a sensing and blocking mechanism consisting of a plurality of hinged, vertically mounted, spring-loaded levers which have attached bolts at their lower ends, the bolts extending through the inclined slots of the coin-channel plate, and which act on a blocking lever for releasing or locking a control bar which, in turn, controls the opening action of the dispensing plate of the coin machine. Depending on whether the levers sense or do not sense coins in the coin channels, the dispensing flap of the coin machine is controlled to be opened or closed.
