ABSTRACT:
A coin mechanism is provided with a magnetic system for preventing rotation of a coin mechanism intended for use with a magnetic coin when a non-magnetic coin or token is deposited into the mechanism, and for preventing rotation of a coin mechanism intended for use with a non-magnetic coin when a magnetic coin or token is deposited into the mechanism. A magnet is lodged in the arm of a rocker which is biased away from the coin recess in the coin conveyor. The attractive force of the magnet on a magnetic coin or token inserted into the coin recess overcomes the force biasing the rocker arm, causing the rocker arm to move toward the coin or token. In a coin mechanism intended to accept a magnetic coin this causes a latch on the rocker arm to retract from a rotating member, allowing the rotating member to rotate and thus allowing the mechanism to operate; in a coin mechanism intended to accept a non-magnetic coin this causes a latch on the rocker arm to engage the rotating member, preventing the rotating member from rotating and thus preventing the mechanism from operating.
