Abstract (en)
A coin collecting mechanism having a coin storage chute and a refund chute. Coin path selection is effected by an electromechanically operated ramp mechanism under control of a coin validator so that in the unpowered state automatic refund of inserted coins occurs. Two methods of emptying the coin storage chute are disclosed; a single pin system used with a square ledge stop and a dual pin system for use with a "V" ledge stop. A rubbish rejection channel is also included so that such items as match sticks, lollipop sticks and small coins or tokens cannot enter the system and cause the mechanism to jam.
