Coin insert for vending machine

摘要

A coin insert for use on vending machines that may be exposed to the weather. A pivotal flap is provided to deflect moisture from the coin path. A relief is provided in the coin slot to permit the free fall of a horizontally inserted coin. A coin return button with a protective skirt for use separately or in conjunction with a coin insert is taught. The use of a coin guiding surface which has been abraided to minimize the possibility of a wet coin clinging thereto is taught.
