ABSTRACT:
An electronically controlled, coin-operated latch mechanism includes an inclined coin chute through which different size coins travel at different angles to provide an electrical connection between different coin detecting contacts. An electronic circuit is responsive to signals generated at the contacts to totalize and store the monetary value of deposited coins. When the stored value equals or exceeds a programmed price, an electromagnet is actuated to enable a hook to be pivoted away from engagement with a latching member. Subsequent movement of the released latching member causes deposited coins to be placed in a coin receptacle and resets the hook for subsequent latching.
