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.

A coin chute assembly having a housing defining a guide track, and a coin slide reciprocably mounted in said guide track for inserted and retracted movement within said housing, said assembly comprising: a first inter-engaging set of channels and posts, said posts riding in said channels as said coin slide rides in the guide track of said housing; a second inter-engaging set of channels and posts positioned inward from said first set of channels and posts, said second set of channels and posts inter-engaging when said coin slide is in its fully inserted position; a first set of longitudinal rails defining said first set of channels and a second set of longitudinal rails defining said second set of channels, said first and second sets of rails being substantially parallel to one another; members of said second set of rails being laterally and longitudinally offset from members of said first set of rails; members of said first set of channels being laterally and longitudinally offset from members of said second set of channels; and members of said first set of posts being laterally and longitudinally offset from members of said second set of posts; said coin slide having a plurality of coin support slots adapted to hold a coin placed therein in a vertical plane, each of said slots being aligned over one of said first channels; whereby movement of said coin slide in said guide track from a retracted position to an inserted position causes a coin in any one of said coin slots to first ride in a corresponding one of said first channels and then ride on a corresponding one of said second rails.
