Title: Coin feeding devices

Abstract: Apparatus for feeding coins one at a time into a coin-operated device, comprising a disc mounted for rotation about an axis tilted from the horizontal, an entry guide arranged to drop the coins onto the disc, and pairs of protruding pins on the disc which are arranged to engage the coins and carry them around the disc to an exit chute. Elongate brush-like guide members facing the disc are provided to insure that the coins are guided in the desired path and do not become superimposed on one another but are fed individually to the exit.
