will tilt the member 61 by contact with the projection 63 so that the coin can pass downwardly on the other hand the coin locking members will not allow a coin to pass upwardly in such coin operated mechanisms wherein the coin itself acts as the agent to release a slide or similar device it will be apparent that the coin chutes and the locking devices must be placed with extreme accuracy over the operating mechanism this is easily achieved with the structure described one can merely release the screws 52 and move the plate 49 up or down to position the coin locking members 61 to the exact height required then one can make an adjustment of the position of the coin chutes 32 and 34 by releasing the nuts 56 on the screws 55 and then turning either or both screws 55 to achieve the exact position desired for the coin locking members when this is achieved one merely tightens the nut 56 to hold the entire assembly in place thus it is possible to adjust the position of the coin chutes and also of the coin locking mechanisms within the chutes during the final assembly of the coin mechanism obviating the need for great precision during the manufacturing operation in fig6 a 6b and 6c it can be seen how a single slot can accomodate and lock a variety of coins it will be understood as previously explained that members 61 will tilt to allow a coin to pass down into the chute but will lock if there is any upward pressure on the coin if.
