  • Patent number: 5326312
    Abstract: A coin dispenser is disclosed which provides an agitator in the form of a rotatable plate having a surrounding ring which is used to agitate the coins so that the coins are constantly agitated as coins are being dispensed. A unique exit construction to minimize the dispensing of double coins and the jamming of coins at the exit location is also provided. A floating intermediate member is provided between the rotatable plate and reservoir which can move during dispenser operation to help prevent coin jamming at the reservoir/rotatable plate interface. The flow of coins to the rotatable plate may be controlled by a coin/token weight actuated pivoting reservoir.
