ABSTRACT:
The invention is a coin receiving mechanism having a foreign object release device for use with a coin receiving machine having a coin acceptor/counter device. The invention has a pair of hinged coin chute walls with planar sections arranged in a zigzag manner which define the coin path. The coin chute walls also have a section angled from the zigzagged sections. A cam member is connected by linking arms to the coin chute walls. A coin return lever on the outline of the machine is connected to a drive arm inside the machine. When turned, the coin return lever turns the cam member and causes the coin chute walls to flip open and eject any foreign objects contained therebetween. The drive arm is connected to the coin return lever through a clutch mechanism. A coin shutter with a coin slot is also operated by activating the cam member which causes the coin shutter to misalign the coin slot in the coin shutter with the coin receiving slot on the outside of the coin receiving machine, thereby preventing additional foreign objects and/or instruments from being introduced into the coin chute.
