<p>A coin dispensing apparatus is disclosed inciuding a cylindrical coin container (2) mounted on a substrate (4) and connected to the bottom of a hopper (1) for storing coins, a coin transporting rotary disc (5) being rotated on the substrate (4) in the container (2) and having a plurality of coin receiving apertures (11) and transporting arms (12) radially extending between each adjacent pair of the apertures (11) on the bottom of the rotary disc (5) with a radial length such that their outer ends do not extend beyond a circle upon which lie the centers of the apertures (11), an outlet guide member (14) mounted on the substrate (4) in the container (2) at the outlet portion opening an outlet slot (13) and a scraper (15) being rotated on the substrate (4) outside the container (2) synchro- nouslywith the rotary disc (5) and having radial scraping arms (16) of the same numbers as that of thetransporting arms (12). The scraper (15) is arranged such that the coins transported on the substrate (4) by the transporting arms (16) in the container (2) are effectively scraped out the container (2) by the scraping arms (16) when the rotary disc (5) is rotated at high speed so that the dispensation speed can be largely increased.</p> |
