Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1465122A2] The tube (10) may be made of transparent plastics material and contains a stack of coins (11). An electric lamp e.g. a LED (16) and an optical receiver (18) determine whether the stack has reached a given height. A beam of light (38) from the lamp passes through holes (20,24,28) in a switching plate (14), a wall (12) and the side of the tube. The light is reflected by a prism (36) on the far side of the tube. The return beam (40) passes across the tube, through a hole or window (30) in the side of the tube and through a hole (26) in the wall and (22) in the switching plate to the optical receiver.
