Spring loaded coin holding apparatus

Abstract

A spring loaded coin dispensing apparatus 10 including an elongated housing member 20 having a top surface 21 provided with two rows 22 23 24 25 and 25′24′23′22′ of cylindrical recesses which are disposed adjacent the elongated sides 26 27 of the housing member 20 wherein each recess 22 etc., is provided with a spring member 30 and an appropriately sized pusher plate member 31 dimensioned to urge an appropriately sized coin 101 etc., against the underside of a cover member 40 and wherein the coins 101 etc., are arranged on the opposite sides of the apparatus 10 such that they are dispensed in the same sequence regardless of which side of the apparatus 10 is facing forward.

1 . A spring loaded coin dispensing apparatus comprising 
 a housing unit including an elongated housing member having an upper surface provided with two spaced rows of different sized cylindrical recesses arranged in a particular order adjacent the opposed elongated sides of the upper surface of the housing member;    a plurality of dispensing units wherein each dispensing unit includes a spring member and a disc shaped pusher plate member dimensioned to closely conform to a selected one of said different sized cylindrical recesses; and,    a cover unit including a contoured cover member having two groups of arcuate apertures that partially expose said two rows of different sized recesses on the opposite sides of the upper surface of the housing member.    
     
     
         2 . The coin dispensing apparatus as in claim  1 ; wherein, each of said arcuate apertures include inwardly directed extensions that overlie said different sized cylindrical recesses in the housing member.  
     
     
         3 . The coin dispensing apparatus as in claim  2 ; wherein said different sized cylindrical recesses are dimensioned to receive different sized coins.  
     
     
         4 . The coin dispensing apparatus as in claim  3 ; wherein, each row of different sized recesses have the recesses arranged in a particular size sequence.  
     
     
         5 . The coin dispensing apparatus as in  claim 4 , wherein the size sequence on one side of the housing member is reversed on the other-side of the housing member.  
     
     
         6 . The coin dispensing apparatus as in claim  5 ; wherein, the size sequence is correlated to the increasing diameter of the coins.  
     
     
         7 . The coin dispensing apparatus as in claim  5 ; wherein, the size sequence is correlated to the decreasing diameter of the coins.  
     
     
         8 . The coin dispensing apparatus as in claim  5 ; wherein, the size sequence is correlated to the value of the coins.
