<p>A coin-moving member adjacent a coin-holding tube has a surface which can engage one part of the periphery of the end-most coin. Each endmost coin defines a plane perpendicular to the axis of the coinholding tube; and a connection between a coin-moving member and a source of motive power is intermediate that plane and the opposite end of the coin-holding tube. As the source of motive power moves the coin-moving member to dispense a coin, an axially-directed component of force will develop between the coin-engaging surface of the coin-moving member and the periphery of that coin; and that axially-directed component of force will be directed toward the opposite end of the coin-holding tube, and it will hold that coin-engaging surface in tight engagement with the periphery of that coin. During the returning movement of the coin-moving member, a spring causes a lever to apply a light pressure to the coin-moving member to urge the coin-engaging surface into engagement with the lower face of the next-to-be-dispensed coin; but that light pressure does not create much friction between that coin-engaging surface and that lower face.</p> |
