Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0574037A1] A coin tester for a vending machine has a coin channel 8 which is arranged between two plates 5 and 6. Between the two plates 5 and 6 project projections which have spacings corresponding to the size and position of the coins 19. Furthermore, laterally of the bolts, space remains for non-conforming coins to fall through. Provided in one plate 6, in the region of the particular uppermost coin 19 of a coin stack, are recesses 21, via which can be pushed levers which are pivotably mounted on a further plate 7 and which are pressed outwards in the presence of a coin 19. Consequently, when a coin 19 is located in the region of the lever 22 or the recess 21, the plate 7 can be pushed upwards via a handle and the vending machine actuated correspondingly. <IMAGE>
