When using an au; The best thing about an electromagnet is the ejector slide, there is almost absolute simultaneity with the receipt of the ejection command and its precipitation. This simultaneity can be annoying with certain types of autonatans which have such a magazine. It is therefore advisable to control the system in such a way that the first period of time "in which the ejector slide is despised in one direction by means of electro-magnetic means" ird _f »Ine type registration of the eject commands and forms IASS the second portion, wherein the dam slide in the opposite direction is moved by the elastic return means viixfa execution of the instruction wrestling. The chronological difference between the two origins is thus ensured. The required stroke of the ejector slide is in principle the same as that of the roller. However, this is difficult to achieve with the electromagnetic components. ) Difficulty can be avoided according to the invention by the fact that the bottom surface of the magazine has a cut-out such that the lowest coin of the supply is already released with a small stroke of the ejector when it is ejected necessary stroke of the ejection; chiebera welcomed to a wart: t who

two stops 5d and Ea are held, which are delimited in the inclined plane of a surface 5f by too perpendicular parts or surfaces 5g or 5h. The essential feature of this profile is that, in general, the surface 5f cuts a coin, which is already in place in any desired arrangement, along a cutting line 7. In order to understand the process of arranging successive coins well, the coin P ₉ is partially drawn with solid lines at the moment when it, after it has been shifted with one of its sides on the surface 5f, at a point of the cutting line 7 comes into contact with the upper fish of the previous coin Pg, which is already in place and, on the other hand, shows with dashed lines an intermediate position of the same coin Pg, which slides on the coin P to lie flat on it.

Part of the bottom surface of the channel 8 has on one section an opening 8b along its length. Bergiuärts dor opening 8b closes a part 8c of the bathing area of the channel 8 with the downhill one Part 8a has a small obtuse angle, and so on that when a coin moves with some natural velocity arrives, this describes a parabolic trajectory (shown in dashed lines in the drawing) in the area of the opening 8b, which runs slightly above part 8a *

The device for deflecting the coins when the magazine is overfilled works as follows:

LUBnn the magazine is filled after receipt of a coin P, the following coin P is forced, partly on the bottom surface
8a to stay lying down. The coins ^p _{n +} ο ^30ω * ^{β p} _n 3 ^that arrive later must then remain inside the channel 8, with the coin P, mt; hr or less on the edge of the opening

8b comes to rest. Another coin that collapses at the top strikes the coin P ~ is thereby inhibited in its movement and falls through the opening 8b onto an inclined plane 9, which can be designed in any UJeise and which deflects the excess coins into the cash register Opening 8b can optionally be provided a part 8b * of the bottom surface in order to force the coin to fall to the right when the inclined plane 9
has a different direction, as indicated in FIG

the upper wall: ng the channel 8 has a lip 8d, which is arranged deep enough to prevent the coin P _{n + 1} from lying flat in position, with the coins P _{n + 2} and ^p _{n,. 3} remain in the channel β. From here on, the work schedule is as described above.

Figures 1 and 2 show you examples of smocks: the display »if the IT coin supply in the magazine is insufficient.

At a certain height (on the coin P ₆ in Fig. 1 yyj.s: ilia UJand provided the magazine with two aina of the opposite holes 10. In a housing 12 in front of the one hole 10 are a L. mpa 11 and A photodiode 13 is arranged in a housing 14 on the other side of the iflagaz.n. If the coin supply is less than 6 coins, the light rays from the lamp 11 pass through the holes 10 onto the photodiode 13 which emits a signal when it is excited. For example, a display 15 can be provided which shows the words "Please refill supply" and is illuminated if the user is to be warned. The same display area is used operated in the same way by one or more photodiodes 131, 132, 133, which are connected in parallel, by the hagazines of the various RUnzaorts, which are supplied to the automaton. The signal of the photodiodes 13, 131, 132 and 133 can also be used for control dee pass of coin n are used, which are input to a temporary storage 16 for actuating the α gestures souiio

automatic registration 17, in such a way that the user instead of ' having to refill the magazine will get back the entire amount he has thrown in.

The device shown in Fig. 2 for opening or for display the minimum coin availability has the disadvantage that it is used for the lamp 11 requires a considerable amount of power because of the large distance between it and the photodiode 13, the distance must be at least equal to the diameter of a coin.

Figures 5 and 6 therefore show an advantageous development, where de; The body of the magazine, which remains unchanged for the rest of the time, has surfaces 5g, 5h which serve for the holes in the axis 18 of a small closure loop 1Θ which, if it is naturally suspended, ie. in the absence of a coin Py (in the strongly drawn out position shown) has an arm 19a which exceeds the inclined surface 5f and, in the presence of a coin P _7, assumes a position which is shown in dashed lines. In this position, another arm 19b covers a hole 10 'and prevents the passage of a light beam from a lamp 11', which is accommodated in a housing 12 * and opposite a photodiode 13 * in a housing 14 *. The mode of operation of the photodiode 13 'is the same as that which has been described for the photodiode 13.

fig. 1 also shows schematically means for paying out change. These means consist of a gap or slot 20 which is somewhat wider or the thickness of a coin. This gap or slot is arranged between the side surfaces of the magazine 5 and the bottom surface 6. On the bottom surface 6, a flat, back-and-fro ^ri rests usstoßschieber 21, which is slightly less than a diek fflünze. This discharge slide can be moved in one direction by a piston-like core 22 which is surrounded by a stationary electrical winding 23. In the other sense of the direction, the ejection slide is subject to the action of a return spring 24.

The operation of this device will be readily "eiterest When the coil 23 is energized, attracting the core 22 to the ejection slide 21 towards the winding 23 ura a stroke length of which is slightly greater than the diameter of a fflünze. The coin P ₁ falls onto the Bocsnfläche 6. As soon as the excitation of the winding 23 subsides, the return spring 24 pulls the moving parts 22-24 back into their starting position, the coin P _{1 being} ejected. One disadvantage of this mode of operation is that the ejector slide 21 must execute a stroke which must be at least equal to the diameter of the coin, which is rather difficult to achieve with the electromagnetic means 22, 23.

Fig. 7 therefore shows further advantageous features; te ltuny to overcome this disadvantage. The bottom surface 6 and the slide 21 are tuegeschnittan in accordance with the profiles 6a and 21a, the radius car intersection curve being slightly larger than the radius of the coin P ₁ . Ir hibernation is the coin P .. völlirj stable as its center located within chnittlinie is by ^{di £} *, and the arch c betrenzten holding surface is.
