ABSTRACT:
A coin slide apparatus which includes a housing for mounting the apparatus to a machine, a coin slide assembly, and a guideway in the housing for the coin slide assembly to operate within. The coin slide assembly is reciprocally operable in the guideway from an extended coin receiving position through coin measuring and coin ejection positions to a position for initiating operation of the machine. The movable slide assembly comprises two main members: an upper slide plate and a center slide plate. The upper slide plate is formed to include the operating handle at one end and has coin receiving slots of a predetermined size. The center slide plate has downwardly projecting fingerlike members defining between them coin pockets subjacent the slots in the upper slide plate for supporting coins on edge and further defining coin pushers. The center slide plate also serves as a storage area for blanking members which are used to convert the apparatus from one combination of coins to another. Coin sensing levers are pivotally mounted alongside gaging blocks and extend upward to engage with tracks in the center slide plate. The coin sensing levers are biased toward the coin measuring area.
Proper coins are vertically supported on the gaging blocks with the upper edge of the coin face engaging a shoulder portion of the coin pockets in the center slide plate. Improper coins are not supported between the gaging blocks and the shoulders but are pivoted sideways by the coin sensing levers which then cooperate with stops in the tracks of the center slide plate to prevent operation of the coin slide assembly.
