ABSTRACT:
A coin mechanism comprising a frame structure mounted in a wall panel of a related vending machine, an elongate, flat, horizontal actuating bar carried by the frame and shiftable from a forward position to a rear position and having a manually engageable front end accessible at the front of the machine and a rear end within the machine and engageable with a product dispensing device therein. The bar has laterally spaced vertically opening longitudinally extending coin receiving openings in its central portion normally positioned forward of the panel and movable rearward thereof when the bar is moved rearward. The frame has laterally spaced longitudinally extending upwardly and rearwardly opening coin-receiving grooves beneath the central portion of the bar to receive the lower halves of coins engaged in and through the openings in the bar. The frame carries a plurality of longitudinally extending latch arms above the bar and rear portions of the grooves. The front ends of the latch arms are pivotally carried by the frame and the rear ends thereof are formed with heads with stop shoulders. The heads on the arms are shiftable longitudinally between a pair of vertically spaced stops carried by the bar when the arms are pivoted vertically to intermediate positions and establish stop engagement with the stops and limit rearward shifting of the bar when they are pivoted vertically to upper and lower positions. Springs normally hold the arms in their lower positions and each arm carries a coin-engaging block that occurs above the rear portion of its related groove in the frame.
