ABSTRACT:
A coin acceptor which accepts authentic coins includes a main plate and a side plate corresponding to the main plate for allowing coins to pass therebetween. A plastic film hinge pivotally attaches the side plate to the main plate. A spring biases the side plate against the main plate. The film hinge is formed from polyoxymethylane. The film hinge has a film section and V-shaped film edges on either side of the film section. The film hinge is mounted at an angle approximately 30 degrees off of a vertical line. The spring is hairpin shaped with first and second shanks and the side plate has a supporting member for receiving the spring. The second shank detachably engages the main plate for biasing the side plate against the main plate.
