Abstract
A coin payout assembly in which a plurality of actuating arms are operatively connected to a plurality of coin-handling members that are movable to a first position for receiving a coin and to a second position for discharging the coin, and in which a drive mechanism is selectively connected to any one of a plurality of actuating arms by a coin-selecting mechanism for moving the selected actuating arm and its associated coin-handling member. A plurality of guide slots each receive the guide pin of one of the actuating arms. The drive mechanism includes a drive link selectively alignable with any one of the actuating arms by the coin-selecting mechanism whereby the drive link is moved into engagement with the selected actuating arm for moving the associated coin-handling member.
