Abstract: A coin slide with attracting magnets is disclosed which incorporates a coin slide body with integral mounting flange, a keeper secured rearwardly of the mounting flange to position a plurality of magnets in vertical, side-by-side relationship, the magnets defining coin checking paths therebetween, a bridge secured to the body rearwardly of the mounting flange whereby the forward edge of the bridge and the rearward surface of the mounting flange define a clearance space therebetween, the magnets being positioned in the clearance space to detect any ferrous slugs as they pass through the magnet defined coin checking paths, the magnets lifting the slug sufficiently to cause the slug to jam against the forward edge of the bridge and not to pass through the bridge.

Abstract: An improved coin slide is disclosed which incorporates a transverse stop bar formed in the bottom of the slide. The stop bar is positioned to overlie the lever checking mechanism when the slide is moved to its rearward vending position whereby in the event of a broken lever, the lever will be automatically spring biased into contact with the stop bar to prevent forward movement of the slide. Additionally, the slide is provided with a pair of transversely spaced hold down pads which are positioned on the slide top surface to contact with bridge trailing surface for slide stabilization precisely when the bridge is performing its coin checking function.

Abstract: A guard for the mounting flange of a vertical type coin slide includes a hardened steel face and a rearwardly extending, integral, peripheral flange. The face of the guard includes a shaped opening to receive the slide of the coin slide therethrough. The opening includes a plurality of transversely spaced slots with a respective plurality of protective fingers therebetween. The protective fingers overfit and protect the softer metal dividers of the mounting flange to prevent breakage. A plurality of slotless mounting bolts secure the guard to the coin slide mounting flange in a manner wherein all exposed bolt parts are protected from tampering.

Abstract: The coin slide includes a fixed body with an integral flange and an integral handle and slide plate which is reciprocal on the body and through the flange. The handle is provided with a plurality of elongated openings within which are fitted interchangeable functional or nonfunctional cores. The functional cores are sized to receive coins of predetermined denomination and can be made to accommodate any size coin, even foreign coins. An interchangeable bridge includes downwardly exposed ramps or cams to accept or check coins of predetermined denomination. The interchangeable cores and interchangeable bridge are utilized to quickly and easily adjust to any desired price which can be computed when using from one to five coins. The body terminates rearwardly in a notched trailing edge whereby coins in alignment with the notches will drop first, and the drop of coins that are not aligned with the notches will be delayed.
