  • Repeating coin-operated mechanism
    Patent number: 4281755
    Abstract: A coin-operated mechanism for use in association with a machine for enabling the machine to be activated a predetermined number of times for a single deposit of the proper amount of coinage. The invention relates to a latch inhibiting mechanism which prevents the latch mechanism, normally requiring a deposit of the proper amount of coinage in return for a single activation of the machine, from engaging until the machine has been activated the predetermined number of times. A cam, during the initial activation, is moved by a reciprocating rack a predetermined distance for each activation of the machine and prevents the latch mechanism from operating until the machine has been activated the predetermined number of times.
