ABSTRACT:
A coin-operated latch mechanism includes a unitary frame member constructed of a single piece of material having a shape generally similar to that of an I-beam, to thereby reduce the number of parts required to construct the mechanism and simplify manufacturing operations. The unitary frame construction also provides significant advantages with respect to durability and resistance to corrosion. A pair of pivotal channel members that engage the frame to form coin chutes also engage one another by means of meshed teeth, so that pivotal motion imparted to one channel member will result in equal and opposite motion of the other channel member to thereby pivot the channel members away from the frame and open the coin chutes to enable trapped coins to be released.
