Abstract
In a coin collector of a vending machine including a credit indicator, a swivel plate obstructs, in its rest position a coin return channel. The plate is pivotable in one direction out of its rest position by the stroke of a coin return bolt and is operatively connected to the credit indicator for resetting the same. To ensure that upon actuation of the coin return bolt, the credit indicator is reliably reset, the plate keeps blocking the coin return channel during a first partial stroke of the coin return bolt, and resets the credit indicator. During a subsequent second partial stroke, the plate swivels into the coin return channel.
