Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a coin selecting device for vending machines actuated by coins or tokens, comprising a support base (20) and a cover having two coin inlets (18, 19) for coins; a carrier wheel (30) having two recesses (31, 32) in alignment with said two coin inlets (18, 19) when the carrier wheel (30) is in a rest position for receiving a coin into each coin recess; actuating means (40) for rotating the carrier wheel (30) in an operating direction; a ratchet (50, 51) for preventing the rotation of the carrier wheel (30) in an opposite direction; and two diameter sensing devices (64, 65) and two thickness sensing devices (70, 71) arranged for allowing operation only when both coins are correct. A first part (12) defining two slots (13, 14) for inserting two coins, or a second part (15) with a single slot (16) for inserting a single coin can be individually assembled.
