Abstract:
An improved coin slide of the type that includes a sturdy body having a medial mounting flange and a slide movable relative to the body between a coin receiving position and a vending position is disclosed. The slide is provided with a plurality of transversely arranged core receiving openings to receive therein interchangeable functional and non-functional cores in a manner to permit easy change of the vending price. A lever checking mechanism is secured in the body forwardly of the flange and includes coin checking levers in pivotal arrangement in longitudinal alignment with the cores. A coin stripper including a coin stop and a spring arm which biases between the body and the coin stop is secured below the lever checking mechanism. The spring arm biases the coin stop upwardly immediately forwardly of the levers to prevent rearward withdrawal of the coins after the slide has been moved to the vending position. In a preferred embodiment, a coin stripper plate is secured below the levers to discourage unauthorized pivoting of the levers.
