ABSTRACT:
A coin hopper for use on vending machines utilizes a transparent housing having openings at the top and bottom thereof for the passage of coins or liquids. A first downwardly slanted support surface is provided whereby coins or liquids entering the opening at the top of the hopper gravitate downwardly free falling at the end of the first support surface onto a second downwardly slanted countersunk perforated support surface. Liquid falling onto the second downwardly slanted perforated support surface passes through the countersunk perforations into a compartment located therebelow. Coins, on the other hand, gravitate downwardly along both downwardly slanted support surfaces free falling at the end thereof into a coin changer. A tube connected to an aperture in the bottom of the compartment drains liquid collected within said compartment. Use of the downwardly slanted countersunk support surface having a compartment therebelow prevents liquids which may enter the hopper from flowing downwardly into the coin changer causing malfunction thereof or causing dangerous electrical conditions to occur.
