A second cover plate 16, and is connectedto knob 22 by v55 e191; ente tain-s member is also providedand is means or spring 23. Spring z -h ing one of its side of the casing by coin control mechanism and serving to couple the pocket to said mechanism.
Means are provided for preventingoperation of the mechanism by coins which are not of the proper size, and a plate 29 is secured to the walls of pocket 6 and may be variably positioned therea particular size of coin. I
Means are provided for obstructing and com- 4 and 18 when knob 22 is from its normal position, and for this purarm 30 is pivotally mounted on the inner means of bolt 17, and is normally held in the position shown in Figure 1 by means of spring 31. In this position, the upper end of arm 30 lies to one side of slot 4, while the mid portion of said arm rests with its shoulder 10 32 directly against the flat surface 26 formed on com pocket 6. As shaft 19 is turned and pocket 6 is rotated thereby, arm 30 is moved to a position directly in back of slot 4, thereby preventing the insertion of any coins.
In the operation of the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3 of the drawing, a coin inserted through slot 18, passes through guideway 5 to the coin pocket 6, and bar 12 guides the coin to a position where it is supported by plate 29. Knob 22 is then turned and moves shaft 19 through the action of friction spring 23, bringing the segmental finger'25 into contact with the side of a coin, and thereby turning the coin pocket 6 and wing pieces 28 to operate the automatic vending or other coin-controlled mechanism. This turning of shaft 19 causes the fiat side 26 of coin pocket revolution, able coin receiving receptacle within the casing 1. Handle 22 may then be released and is returned to its original position removing the arm 30 from the position where it obstructs slot 18.
end 11 of arm 9 is of sufficient length so that the upper end 10 continues to coin slot until arm 30 ister with slots 4 and 18.
The embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing may be adapted for various sizes of coins merely by changing the cover plate 16 and by variably positioning plate 29 and bar 12.
For providing still better protection against or even malicious injury, the coin be formed as shown in Figure 4 of As shown, a comb-like piece of sheet metal 33 is attached to the side walls of the pocket 6, and spring-pressed flaps 34 are mounted on the casing 1 to normally engage the under side of combs 33. In case an attempt is member is displaced.

In a coin control mechanism the combination of a rotatable coin receiving pocket, a rotatable actuating knob coupled to said pocket by a coin in said pocket, a member mounted on said pocket and provided with means for engaging a thread attached to a coin and means preventing insertion of a second coin in said mechanism while an unused coin is present or while said knob is displaced from normal position.
