ABSTRACT:
A dispensing apparatus for a change machine has a reservoir for storing cylindrical objects such as rolls of coins or paper money stored in tubes. The reservoir has a bottom through which a slot extends. A dispensing mechanism is located beneath the reservoir and has at least a pair of spaced apart rollers which form a pocket therebetween. The rollers are mounted for reciprocal movement between a loading position and an eject position. An object will fall from the reservoir through the slot in the bottom of the reservoir into the pocket between the rollers. The rollers are reciprocated between the loading position and the eject position to dispense the object. When the rollers are reciprocated, they agitate the objects remaining in the reservoir to prevent jams caused by the objects bridging across the opening in the bottom of the reservoir. Further, the rollers will roll the object as they are reciprocated which helps prevent damage to the object. A circuit for sensing whether the reservoir is empty and whether an object is being dispensed provides signals indicative thereof at a single output.
