Abstract:
PCT No. PCT/GB92/01413 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 25, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 25, 1994 PCT Filed Jul. 30, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/03459 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 18, 1993.A coin routing gate is formed by a solenoid, the armature of which is, or is directly coupled to, a resilient flexible member. Upon energization of the solenoid, the member is attracted to a yoke, and flexes during the course of its movement so that the path of movement is increased. The inherent resilience of the member shifts it back to its original position upon deenergization of the solenoid. The flexible member has a coin-directing surface, or is coupled to a coin-directing member.
