The body casting of the coin chute has (8) springloaded
hooks, called dog slide stops, mounted in it.
When the correct amount and size of coins are placed
in the slide and the slide is pushed in the coins enter
the sizing plate which pushes down on the coins.
SIZING PLATE
Unless these hooks are depressed, when the coin slide
is pushed in, they hit the bar mounted to the underside
of the coin slide, called the ratchet dog post. This
prevents a coin slide from being pushed completely in.
DOG POST
RATCHET
The coins and blackout keys combine to depress t h e
dog slide stops and allow the coin slide to be pushed in.
The coins then passed over an opening that allows them
to drop into the coin drawer.
If the coins are too large, the sizing plate prevents the
slide from being pushed in any further. If the coins are
too small, they do not depress the slide stop dogs and
the coin slide cannot be pushed in.
As the coin slide is pushed in, the plate on the end of
the coin slide pushes the spring loaded ratchet arm of
the meter case timer. When the coins slide is withdrawn,
the ratchet arm moves forward advancing the cam in the
meter case one increment.
