Abstract: A device for transferring a flow of disc-shaped objects, such as coins, from a reservoir to a delivery location at a higher level. This device is provided with a coin guiding passage that has its bottom positioned in an inclined plane, said passage being connected to the reservoir through a passage position that has its longitudinal axis directed substantially horizontally and merging into a position that rises towards said delivery location through a curved action of substantially 90°. To prevent coins in the curved section from jamming or blocking, an upper wall portion is provided in the curved section, on coin thickness level above the bottom of the coin guiding passage, said upper wall position being capable of yielding relative to the passage bottom and being preferably in the form of a disc.

Abstract: Display system comprising a number of lamp holders which each have a local control unit and which are suitable for holding and connecting to the local control unit a lamp, the local control units of the various lamp holders being connected to a common conductor bundle to which a central control unit and a supply unit are also connected. Each local control unit contains an address. If a local control unit receives a message containing the address of the local control unit from the conductor bundle it responds, depending on any other content of the message, for optionally activating the associated lamp, for optionally changing the address and for sending back a message which specifies the conducting state between connections for the lamp.

Abstract: A coin elevating device for elevating a stream of coins from a coin collecting reservoir to a delivery location. The device includes a coin elevating channel which has an elongated base plate with two sidewall plates extending therefrom which are spaced apart a distance substantially corresponding to the diameter of a coin. Flexible bristle elements extend into the coin elevating channel so as to engage coins sliding therethrough and to maintain the coins in sliding contact with the base plate.
