Abstract:

A coin hopper is provided with a rotary pin wheel for feeding coins to a pay out mechanism. A wiper member is mounted adjacent the rotary pin wheel slightly removed from the position at which the rotary pin wheel feeds coins to the pay out mechanism. The wiper member functions to wipe extra coins off the rotary pin wheel and return them to the hopper basket so that each location on the rotary pin wheel is occupied by only a single coin. A guide member is provided adjacent the position at which the rotary pin wheel feeds coins to the pay out mechanism. The guide member aligns the coins being fed into the pay out mechanism to ensure that the coins enter the pay out mechanism in a flat upright, on edge orientation.
