Abstract

A coin accepting device includes a coin runway extending from a coin entry to a cash box and to a reject coin outlet. The coin runway includes a coin validation chamber (1) in which the coins are received and held in a fixed reference position whilst they are checked for validity, and a pivoted portion (5) which is divided into two channels, a reject channel (6) and an accept channel (7). The pivoted portion (5) is biased into a first position in which a part of it blocks an outlet (4) from the coin validation chamber (1) to define the fixed reference position for the coin in the validation chamber (1) but is pivotable into a second position in which the reject channel (6) is aligned with the outlet (4) of the validation chamber (1) to receive rejected coins and channel them towards the reject outlet, and is pivotable into a third position in which the accept channel (7) is aligned with the outlet (4) of the validation chamber (1) to allow accepted coins to pass into the accept channel (7). The device also includes a first gate (9,10) located at the downstream end of the accept channel (7) and operable to allow accepted coins to move towards the coin box, and a second gate (23) at the downstream end of the accept channel (7) operable to allow coins to pass out of the accept channel (7) towards the reject outlet.
