Abstract (en)
[origin: US4836825A] A coin recognizing selector (3) is followed by a buffer coin box (5) serving as a temporary store for newly inserted coins. The buffer has a stepping motor-indexable, bottomless and topless, circular loading magazine with P+2 radial cells bounded by radial walls, within a stationary cartridge. The cartridge has a bottom opening two magazine cells wide, equipped with a bolt (36) operable to either close off the opening completely or close off either its right or left side. N identical coin stores (6 to 11) are arranged coaxially one below the other to make change, are supplied from the buffer (5) and feed either a coin collection box (12) or a coin return tray (4) arranged in parallel beneath the storage decks. The bolts (36) are controlled to release coins from the stores to the coin box (12) or return tray (4), or from the buffer (5) to one of the stores (6 to 11), each store being assigned coins of a specific denomination.
