<p>A coin dispenser (1) pushes coins (3) out one by one from the foot of stack confined in a tube (2). The coins are then confined to a guide track (5, 11, 19, 20), each coin being pushed by the next one upstream. The track may lead upwards. At the delivery end the coins (3) topple into a chute (10) and thence into a collecting chamber (14) where they are visible through a window (15). When all the allotted coins have amassed, a mechanism (16, 17) operates to drop them into a collection pocket (18). The track may be straight, it may have an upward curve, and/or it may twist or bend to one side.</p> |
