ABSTRACT:
A coin responsive mechanism for controlling operation of a dispensing machine including a coin chute adapted to receive coins of several different denominations to provide a gravity drop for coins from a coin receiving slot to a coin stop, the coin chute having slots at opposite sides with a first gauging pawl mounted for movement through the slot in one side to block upward movement of a first combination of coins in the chute and a second gaugingpawl mounted for movement to the slot in the other side of the chute to block upward movement of the second combination of coins in the chute. The gauging pawls are adjustable along the chute to adapt the mechanism to respond to a wide variety of combination of coins of different sizes and different denominations. Provision is made for selectively rendering certain of the gauging pawls inoperative while others are rendered operative and vice versa to adapt the coin responsive mechanism for use in machines such as newspaper vending machines which must be actuated for week-day editions in response to coin combinations having one preselected total monetary value and which must be actuated to dispense Sunday editions in response to coin combinations having a different total monetary value.
