ABSTRACT:
A coin slide apparatus which includes a housing for mounting the apparatus to the machine, a coin slide assembly, a guideway in the housing for the coin slide assembly to operate within, and coin authenticating apparatus on the housing. 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 and serves as a storage area for blanking members and coin inserts which are used to convert the apparatus from one combination of coins to another. The latch plate mates with latch arms, which are mounted on the housing, to prevent operation either without coins or with spurious coins. A bridge portion mounts a plurality of abutments, one above each latch arm, which cooperate with a cam on each latch arm to provide a predetermined coin measuring space therebetween. At least one of the abutments forms part of a preadjustable abutment assembly. When the preadjustable abutment assembly is moved vertically in combination with movement of the coin insert, the coin slot and the predetermined coin measuring space are converted from one denomination to another.
