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 three main members: an upper slide plate, a center body portion, and a latch 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 body portion gives the slide assembly the necessary thickness to support coins on edge, serves as a storage area for blanking members which are used to convert the apparatus from one combination of coins to another, and mounts a ratchet pawl which prevents the slide from being withdrawn without a complete reciprocation. The latch plate mates with latch arms, which are mounted on the housing, to prevent operation either without coins or with spurious coins. The coin slide apparatus also includes various devices for measuring coins and a coin ejection system for removing coins from the slide assembly and depositing them in a receptacle.
