A coin acceptor which accepts authentic coins includes a main plate and a side plate pivotally attached to the main plate for allowing coins to pass therebetween when the side plate is in a first position. An opening lever is pivotally attached to a pivot pin formed from the main plate. Upon rotation, the opening lever pivots the side plate into a second position. A leaf spring biases the opening lever into a rest position corresponding to the side plate being in the first position. The opening lever has a shoulder which moves in rotation with the opening lever. The main plate has a slot for passing the shoulder therethrough to the other side of the plate. The leaf spring engages the shoulder for biasing the opening lever into the rest position. The shoulder also engages a switch arm of an electrical switch for switching the switch upon rotation of the opening lever from the rest position.

Coin return mechanism for a coin acceptor

The invention refers to a coin switch for a coin handling device. According to the invention, the switching element is an individual member made of plastic material, the armature is provided with at least a lateral projection extending towards the magnet and the magnet includes a yoke portion extending parallel and in a small distance with respect to said projection.

Coin switch for a coin handling device

The present invention relates to a movable switch for a coin machine comprising an electrically driven actuator for moving the switch element between at least two positions, in which the coins are selectively guided into one of at least two channels, wherein the actuator comprises a piezoelectric element deformable by a D.C. voltage which element is electrically connected to a D.C. source and is mechanically coupled to the switch element.
