APPARATUS FOR PAYING OUT OF ONE COIN FROM AT LEAST ONE PAIR OF COIN HOUSING TUBES

摘要

PURPOSE: To quickly return coins from a pair of coin housing tubes by providing a pair of discharging members which can be adjusted in height on the side of a rotor opposite to the radial direction to releasing positions and discharging positions on the rotor. CONSTITUTION: A rotor 16 is provided with a pair of discharging members (discharge pins 20 and 22) which can be positioned in height on the side of the rotor opposite to the radial direction of the rotor 16 to releasing positions and discharging positions. The pins 20 and 22 pass under housing tubes 12 and 14 while the pins 20 and 22 rotate 180 deg.. Only one of the pins 20 and 22 makes discharging operation for moving coins and, when the pin 20 or 22 makes the discharging operation, the other pin 22 or 20 moves to the releasing position (usually, to the down side). A fixed control means operates the pins 20 and 22 so that the first pin can be positioned or moved to the discharging position when the pin is rotated in a certain direction from one neutral position and the second pin can be moved to the releasing position when the pin is rotated in the same direction from the other neutral position.
