ABSTRACT:
A hopper payout for various coin denominations is disclosed having a hopper, a rotary pin wheel, removably secured shelf wheel, and delivery opening in which the pin wheel is suspended for rotation by means of rollers oriented at the periphery of the wheel on spaced centers. The shelf wheel is removable and replaceable with differing diameter shelf wheels to accommodate varying denominations of coins. A centrally disposed agitator is similarly removable and interchangeable. The knife which removes coins from the shelf wheel is pivotally mounted to accommodate varying diameters of the varying coin dimensions. A uniformly widening coin gutter is provided to reduce the tendency of the coins to jam and shingle, irrespective of denomination and size. In order to adjustably accommodate the varying weights of coins within the hopper to divert the flow of coins into the permanent coin reservoir, the hopper is pivotally secured to the frame, and a yieldable means having a preselected resiliency secures the same against pivoting. Thus an empirical determination of the number of coins to be held in the hopper before bypassing to the permanent collection member can be made by service personnel in the field.
