Abstract: A coin machine for collection and checking of different types of coins and for release of a device for dispensing goods when the proper number of coins for the item purchase price is inserted into the coin machine. The coin-checking device comprises a carrier plate arranged vertically between a housing front and back wall, wherein at least on one side of the carrier plate there is located parallel thereto a coin-checking plate which can be tilted. Adjacent to the coin-checking plate there is located parallel to the carrier plate a coin-channel plate which is fitted with inclined slots, through which extend angular protrusions of a lower plate and which form the bottom of the running channels for the coins. The coin-channel plate is also parallel to the carrier plate and can also be swiveled.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing printed products such as newspapers or periodicals from the top of a stack within a housing from which a manually rotatable knob protrudes. Two toothed detent rods are vertically mounted on the rear wall of the housing, one detent rod being fixed and the other being freely movable, and a transport plate on which the periodical stack rests is movably mounted adjacent the detent rods. A lever pivoted on one end and attached on the other by a cable operated by the knob extends under the detent rods, with the movable detent rod being positioned to rest on the lever. Two spring biased pawls are mounted on the transport plate to engage the detent rod, so that the transport plate is jacked-up as the lever moves while periodicals are dispensed.
