<p>A coin payout device consists of a horizontal coin storage tube (1) which receives coins from a coin feed/payout device (3). The resulting column of coins in the tube (1) pushes against a spring loaded plunger (2) which operates an optical shaft encoder (5, 7, 9) to provide a digital signal indicative of the number of coins in the column. The coin feed/payout device consists of a rotary drive member (12) driven by electric motor (13), which upon rotation in a first direction captures a coin and inserts it into the tube (1) and upon rotation in the opposite direction, removes a coin from the tube for payout.</p> |
