Abstract
A coin elevator mechanism that includes a first housing wall and an opposing second housing wall, with a coin ingress aperture in the first housing wall and a coin egress aperture in the second housing wall positioned above the ingress aperture. A continuous articulated conveyor belt with multiple link members communicates between the ingress and egress apertures. At least one link member features a coin scoop projection that is inclined relative to a transverse axis of the link. As the conveyor belt operates, the coin scoop projection forms a coin pocket, delimited at its ends by the two housing walls, and is configured to carry multiple coins from the ingress aperture to the egress aperture. Coins are transported upward and discharged under the influence of gravity.
