Abstract

See full text

A coin control mechanism (52) for use with a dispensing device having an access door. The coin control mechanism includes a door locking assembly disengaged by the action of a totalizer which rotates in response to the denomination of coins dropped through a coin chute. The totalizer is connected to a price control unit comprised of three rotatable slotted rings whose slot positions may be changed to reflect different desired cumulative values of coins needed to activate the mechanism by varying the position of the slots with respect to a release bar (510) and the other slots on the split ring assembly (500). The slotted rings advance towards the release bar (510) in response to the rotation of the totalizer. When a slot engages the relase bar (510), the release latch is activated and the access door is unlatched.
