Abstract

1340319 Coin box telephones INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP 27 April 1972 [5 May 1971] 19627/72 Heading H4K A coin box telephone has a coin collection system with a coin store for each denomination of coin and is provided with a credit indicator and debit indicator arranged to separate the coins for collection and return by ensuring that sufficient coins of a lower denomination are retained in the stores so that change can be given for the next higher value coin and where additionally inserted coins may be either collected, stored or returned. In the schematic diagram shown the number of coins stored is signalled on lines 5 and shown in coin counters 12 and their value in credit counters 13. Debiting pulses applied on line 11 are totalled in counter 17 and the amount subtracted from the total in credit counters 13, the amount in credit is displayed at 18. The system described has coins stored in denominations of 10 pfennig, 1 DM and 5DM and ensures that nine 10 pfennig and four 1 DM coins are retained in the coin stores. When these values are reached then a 5DM coin, if present, will be collected when the call charge reaches this value. When the call ends the credit counters 13 will count down to zero and coins will be returned accordingly. If the lower coin denominations are insufficient to meet the call charge then the next higher denomination is collected and all the lower value coins returned. If 10 pfennig coins are inserted during the call a test is made to see whether they should be collected or returned. Higher denomination coins are returned if the appropriate store is full. For a telephone with a disconnect key it is stated that coins can be added so that the debit can be exactly met.
