ABSTRACT:
A computer-controlled coin parking meter for managing the use of a parking lot having up to about ten parking spaces. It includes a first display device which singularly identifies the parking places and push button switches for operating it; a second display device indicating the parking time bought for the identified space; a rotary disk having, along its periphery, visible indicia indicating whether or not parking time has been paid for the parking places and a step-motor for rotating the disk so as to provide this latter information. The meter further includes a coin receiving and counting machine capable of allowing operation of the second display device so that it indicates the parking time bought and also capable of allowing rotation of the step motor and therefore of the indicia disk to display the information. Finally, the meter includes a computer assembly programmed to control sequential operation of the two devices and of the step motor from signals received from the push-button switch and from the coin receiving and counting machine, respectively.
