Abstract: A collapsible discharge deflecting chute (often called in the industry today a "chute deflector") for rotary mowers hingeably and collapsibly attached to the mower housing comprising a front vertical panel, a front hinge plate hingeably connected to the front vertical panel for removably securing the front vertical panel to the mower housing, an outer top panel hingeably connected to the front vertical panel, an inner top panel hingeably connected to the outer top panel, a top hinge plate hingeably connected to the inner top panel for removably securing the front vertical panel to the mower housing, and a rear flap panel hingeably connected to the inner top panel. The collapsible discharge deflecting chute has "memory" in that it is biased in an open position by gravitational forces (on metal version, by "molded" memory if plastic) during normal operating conditions permitting the discharge of grass clippings from the mower housing.

Abstract: A coin-handling assembly including a coin escrow station for receiving coins of one denomination, and an escrow-actuator selectively retaining the coins in the escrow station, and selectively releasing the coins individually from the escrow station. The escrow actuator includes first and second fingers selectively movable into and out of the path of the coins in the escrow station, and an actuator selectively moving the first finger into engagement with a lowermost coin, and the second finger out of engagement with the coins for holding the coins in the escrow station. The actuator selectively moves the first finger out of engagement with the lowermost coin for releasing the lowermost coin for delivery to the coin-diverter, and selectively moves the second finger into engagement with a next adjacent coin for holding the remaining coins in the escrow station while the first finger releases the lowermost coin.
