Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a coin slide assembly having a coin slide disposed for accommodating up to eight coins in a vertical position. The assembly further includes sets of inter-engaging channels and post on the assembly housing and on the coin slide, respectively, to restrict access to the internal blocking dog components of the assembly by persons intent on damaging or interferring with the normal operation of the dogs. A gate is provided through which the coins pass upon inserted movement of the coin slide. The assembly further includes a coin sizing block having inverted V-shaped notches which cooperate with the blocking dogs to render the coin slide operative only when properly sized coins are carried by the slide. A protective bar restricts the movement of the blocking dogs beyond their non-blocking position to prevent distortion of the spring which biases the dogs to their normal blocking position. The assembly further includes a baffle to push the coins down through the slots in the coin slide upon inserted movement of the slide beyond the inner end of the guide track.
