Abstract
1502250 Coin-freed apparatus HEATHCOTE TECHNICAL SERVICES Ltd [trading as ASSOCIATED TECHNICAL SERVICES] 30 Jan 1975 [30 Oct 1973] 50345/73 Heading G4V In coin identifying apparatus, e.g. for use in a vending machine having a totalizer and a change-giver, means 4 are provided for determining the size of a deposited coin and a magnetic bridge arrangement 5 is tuned in dependence upon the determined coin size, means also being provided for detecting if the presence of the deposited coin, when it reaches a predetermined position relative to the tuned magnetic bridge, causes the bridge to balance. As shown, the apparatus comprises a coin channel 1 traversing an identifying unit 3 in which coins pass the size-determining means 4. This comprises a series of light sources on one side of the channel 1 and a set of phototransistors on the other mounted at different heights above the channel base. Coins of different sizes interrupt the light beams of different numbers of the sources. Individual thyristors from a set connected to the set of photo-transistors are thus fired to actuate different C-R tuning circuits in the magnetic bridge 5 (Fig. 2, not shown). The bridge 5 balances when the deposited coin of determined size passes thereby if the magnetic properties for the coin size are correct and solenoidoperated retractable gate members 12, 13, 14 direct the coin to an appropriate channel 7-9. Counterfeit or worn coins are directed to another channel 10. The apparatus may be installed in a vending machine which also includes a totalizer having a multi-vend facility and an electro-mechanical change-giver (Figs. 6, 3, not shown).
