Coin dispensing apparatus for large coins

摘要

A coin dispensing apparatus dispenses coins (220) by squeezing them substantially chordally between first (253) and second (203f) elements. The second element (203f) is carried on the underside of a disc-like portion (203b) of a rotor (203) which rotates about or with a central shaft. The disc-like portion (203b) has an opening, allowing coins (220) to move axially therethrough from a supply side to a position aligned with the second element (203f). The opening has a diameter substantially equal to or greater than the radius of the rotor (203).
