ABSTRACT:
A coin reception mechanism includes a base fixed inside for example a pay phone to receive coins for operating the pay phone. The coin reception mechanism includes a chute assembly including a first plate and a second plate which are independent of each other and are both pivoted to the base in such a manner to form a spacing therebetween defining a coin chute leading to a coin collector container. The first plate has a coin slot formed thereon to be substantially in alignment with the coin chute for receiving and guiding a coin into the coin chute. An actuator is pivoted to the base and has two driving arms in contact engagement with the first plate and a link connecting to the second plate so that when the actuator is rotated to drive the first and second plates with respect to the base, the first plate is rotated by the arms of the actuator through a first angular displacement and the second plate is rotated by the link through a second angular displacement which is greater than the first angular displacement so that the first plate is angularly displaced from the second plate to define an opening therebetween for removing an odd matter located in the coin chute out of the chute. A user actuateable lever is provided to rotate the actuator by the user for removal of the odd matter.
