(54) Entertainment machine coin sorter


(57) An entertainment machine coin sorter having, to the side of the inlet, a shutter with a ramp which, according to the position thereof, leads the coins according to how they have been previously sorted towards a single outlet track or towards an area where three coin outlets are arranged, this area having two shutters operated by means of the corresponding coils which, according to the position thereof, will guide the coins towards one of the three arranged outlets according to their sorting. When the shutter with the ramp is in its rest position, the ramp is withdrawn and it does not intercept the direct vertical drop of the coin, guidance of the coins towards the outlet being established when said shutter is in its rest position, whereas when it is in its operative position the coins are intercepted by the ramp and they have access to the diverting area where the three accepted coin sorting outlets are arranged.
