Abstract
1415162 Dispensing coins A SHAW 19 March 1973 [18 Dec 1971] 58900/71 Headings G4X and G4V A coin dispenser comprises means 14 for detecting when the number of coins in a storage unit 10 falls below a predetermined level to inhibit further dispensation of coins from that storage unit and trigger the dispensation of coins from another storage unit 20. In the embodiment described, which is a prize pay-out device for a gaming machine, two level sensing microswitches 13, 14 are provided for storage unit 10, the switches being connected to respective inputs of a flip-flop 22, the outputs of which are connected to a control circuit 31. The circuit 31 also receives inputs from a counter 30 controlled by win determining circuits 26 to 28 and has outputs connected to solenoid dispensing mechanisms 16, 21 of the storage units 10, 20. The storage units 10, 20 are filled with 5p and 10p coins respectively and when level of 5p coins falls below switch 14 the flip-flop 22 is set to provide an output 24 which triggers the circuit 31 to dispense 10p coins equivalent to at least part of the required pay-out. For example, a 15p pay-out would be made with one 5p and one 10p coin rather than the three 5p coins of normal circumstances. The flip-flop 22 is reset when the level of coins in storage unit 10 is replenished to above switch 13.
