ABSTRACT:
A device for paying off coins from two adjacent coin collecting tubes. A rotor is located below the tubes, the rotational axis of the rotor extending substantially in parallel to an axis of the tubes. An electric motor drives the rotor to rotate the rotor in either direction of rotation about the rotational axis. A pin-like ejecting element is mounted on the rotor for ejecting a lowest coin in the coin collecting tubes, the element having an idle position which does not engage the lowest coin when the rotor is rotated by the motor and having an ejecting position which engages the lowest coin when the rotor is rotated by the motor. The element is biased in the ejecting position and has a member, the rotor having a first neutral position in which the element is in its ejecting position for discharging the lowest coin and having a second neutral position in which the element is in its idle position. A motor control controls the electric motor to rotate the rotor between the first and second neutral positions. A stationary control supported adjacent the rotor selectively engages the member of the element, the stationary control including a ramp-like portion for engaging the member of the element such that, as the rotor is rotated in either direction from the second neutral position to the first neutral position, the ramp-like portion engages the member of the element to move the element to its idle position.
