ABSTRACT:
A coin operated machine, such as a vending machine including a first coin acceptor/rejector mechanism which normally separates acceptable coins from non-acceptable coins, also carries an underlying mechanism which includes a pivotable chute positioned in the path of the rejected coins and having an opening sized to receive rejected same value, but different size and weight, coins of a predetermined diameter and smaller size coins. The chute bears a coin reject window for causing coins smaller than those of said predetermined diameter to be rejected from the chute and further includes an inclined on-edge coin gravity flow path of a predetermined angle to horizontal. A microswitch feeler along said path senses passage of said same value coins and the chute segregates these coins from the other rejected coins. The chute is automatically pivoted between gate open and gate closed positions in response to this microswitch and another microswitch sensing acceptance of a predetermined number of proper value coins of different size and weight to insure return of superfluous coins to the operator, in any sequence.
