Abstract: An improved coin drop construction suitable for replacing the coin slide elements of a coin collector box forming part of a coin operated appliance comprising a front mounting plate adapted to overlie an opening in the appliance, and a coin guide element carried by an inner surface of the mounting plate and serving to guide inserted coins to the collection box; the guide element including first and second plates interconnected in spaced parallel relation to define an elongated coin channel therebetween, the mounting plate having a coin receiving opening communicating with the channel; a first coin blocking member pivotally mounted between the plates at a first end thereof, the member including a first end located in the area of the coin receiving opening, and having an upper longiutudinal edge surface forming a path for conducting a coin therealong; an elongated track member in fixed relation between said plates and having an upper surface forming a continuation of the upper edge of the first coin blocking me
Abstract: A coin-controlled atomizer dispensing system is actuated entirely by compressed air or gas. At the conclusion of an operating cycle a cylinder is charged with liquid to be dispensed. The next operating cycle is initiated by inserting a coin which momentarily opens an air valve. A charge of compressed air and a charge of liquid are simultaneously fed to an atomizer nozzle until the charge of liquid in the cylinder has been completely dispensed whereupon the compressed air is cut off and the cycle is terminated by re-charging the cylinder with the next charge of liquid to be dispensed.

Abstract: A coin acceptor which receives coins in a slanted coin chute with a final size gauge system. The coin is first rebounded against a tapered wall and enters a first zone. All three coin sizes enter the first zone and then the lightest weight one passes down a tapered ramp which is spring loaded, but the lightest weight coins will not depress the ramp and therefore such coins are diverted into a second zone. The heavier different sized coins pass down and trip the tapered ramps, both a first and second one, and then the widest of the coins continues downwardly in the first zone to be processed and sized for diameter. The largest diameter coin is trapped between two pins where it is then tilted off of a ramp onto a diverter and passes into a third zone for processing. As all of the coins reach the bottom of their three separate zones, they enter into a final size gauge system which has three coin chutes sized precisely to reject any coin which is bent, burred, or oversized.
