Essentially, the invention is based on the existence of retractile blades, which in their extracted position drag the coins towards the arm which intercepts the circular path of the same, at which moment they occupy the retracted position in order to be displaced under said arm, thus not constituting any obstacle for the continuation of the rotation of the disk.
The blades are circumferentially separated from each other by a slightly larger magnitud than the diameter of the maximum sized coin. With this constitu-tion, the blades can drag any size of coin without producing additional jamming of coins, since each blade can act only on the edge of a coin, abutting against the surface of the disk.

A~ ,a The blades can be impulsed towards the retrac-ted position by means of different systems, for example, by the actual arm which intercepts the circular path of the coins or by means of an activation device which acts on the blades when it reaches the adjacent areas of the arm which intercepts the circular path of the coins.
Essentially, the invention is based on the existence of retractile blades, which in their extracted position drag the coins towards the arm which intercepts the circular path of the same, at which moment they occupy the retracted position in order to be displaced under said arm, thus not constituting any obstacle for the continuation of the rotation of the disk.
The blades are circumferentially separated from each other by a slightly larger magnitud than the diameter of the maximum sized coin. With this constitu-tion, the blades can drag any size of coin without producing additional jamming of coins, since each blade can act only on the edge of a coin, abutting against the surface of the disk.
The characteristics and advantages of the refunder of the invention can be better understood with the following description, made with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which a non limitative, exemplary embodiment is represented.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the rotary disk which defines a zone of the chamber or receiver deposit for the coins, including the dragging means of the coins of the invention.
Figure 2 is a cross section of the disk, taken on line II-II of figure 1, at larger scale.
Figure 3 is a bottom view of one of the blades of figure 1, taken according to direction A of figure 2.
Figure 4 is a side view of the same blade, according to direction B of figure 3.
Figure 5 is a similar view to figure 1, showing a variant in the performance of the mechanism for the retraction of the blades.
Figure 6 is a cross section of the disk according to line VI-VI of figure 5, at larger scale.
Figure 7 is a partial perspective view of the disk of figure 5.
Figures 1 through 4 represent a rotary disk 1 which defines a zone of the surface of a receiver chamber or deposit for coins, of constitution known per se. In the example represented in the drawings, disk 1 is toothed around its periphery 2 in order to mesh with an activating pinion, though other systems or activating means could be used. On the internal surface of disk 1 coins 3 bear, housed in the receiver chamber or deposit.
Disk 1 is mounted on a support 4 in which a flat arm or small blade 5 are attached, which bear on the internal surface of the disk. Also on support 4, a tilting lever 6 is mounted, the out-put mouth for the coins being defined between the same and the adjacent edge of the arm or small blade 5.
Disk 1 is provided with dragging means for the coins 3 when it rotates in direction to arrow F. The arm or small blade 5 intercepts the circular path of the coins 3, displacing them towards the out-put mouth limited between said small blade and the tilting lever 6, which is pushed towards a retracted position by the actual coins, recovering its original position after the exit of said coin.
The refunder of the invention is characterized by the special constitution of the dragging means of the coins in disk 1.
According to the invention, these dragging means are constituted by retractile radial blades 7 which partially proj ect through the surface in contact with the coins, and preferably run in radial direction, such as is shown in figure 2. The blades 7 are displaced between an extracted position, shown in figure 2 and 4, in which they partially project from the surface of disk 1 and a retracted position, in which they do not project as regards the internal surface of the disk. The blades are elastically impulsed towards the extracted position and are displaced towards the retracted position when they reach the arm or small blade 5 or the proximity of the same.
In the embodiment shown in figures 1 through 4, blades 7 form part of a plate 8 with elbowed profile which is provided on the section which runs below disk 1, of a transversal core 9 which is placed between parallel lugs 10 of an adjacent bridge 11 and attached to the rotary disk 1. Core 9 articulates between lugs 10 by means of shaft 12. As from the articulation zone, the plate 8 and the bridge 11 extend in portions 13 and 14 between which a helical spring 15 is mounted, which impulses the blades 7 towards the extracted position shown in figure 2 and 4.
Support 4 on which disk 1 is mounted forms, in the proximity of the arm or small blade 5, a ramp 16, figure 2 on which the prolongation 13 of plate 8 of the blades bear, when they reach said proximity of the small blade 5, causing the tilting of the plate 8 in the direction of arrow G of figure 2, producing the retrac-tion of blade 7, thus preventing its impact with theedge of the arm or small blade 5, in such a manner, that it does not constitue an obstacle for the continuation of the rotation of disk 1. The ramp 16, which acts as a cam for the activation of blades 7, is placed in such a manner that the retraction or concealment of the blades 7 takes place once the coin 3, dragged by said blade, has caused the displacment of the tilting arm 6, figure 1, so as to conduct its exit in traditional manner.
With the constitution indicated, blades 7 shall drag coins 3 until they exit through the mouth limited between the small blade 5 and the arrn 6, thus occupying the retraction position before reaching the edge of the small blade 5. Once they surpass the arm or the small blade 5, blades ~ are impulsed towards the extracted position by means of spring 15.
The retraction of blades 7 can be achieved by any other system or mechanism. For example, the blades 7 could be articulated under disk 1 according to a perpen dicular shaft to said blade, being impulsed towards the outside by means of a spring and hence occupying the retracted position when bearing on a profile or cam similar to the one referenced with number 16 in figure 2.
Figures 5 through 7 show another possible manner of actuation on the blades 7 in order to cause its retraction. As can be observed from figure 6, blades 7 also form part of a right angled elbowed plate and are impulsed towards the extracted position by means of a spring 15a which is mounted between the section of the blade which runs below the rotary disk 1 and a disk or locking plate 17, both attached by means of screws 18.
The blades 7 extend as from their internal end into a section 7a which is adj acent to the central cone 18 of the refunder. Said section 7a is of decreasing height, until it reaches the surface of the rotary disk 1.
With this constitution, during the rotation of disk 1 in the direction of arrow F, when the prolongation 7a of each blade 7 meets the internal end of the arm or small blade 5, the ramp shape of this prolongation 7a progressively inserts under the small blade which causes the retraction of blade 7.
The refunder of the invention is provided with counting means of the coins supplied or paid. Said means may consist of a detector mounted at the out-put mouth, limited between the small blade 5 and the tilting lever 6, or constituted by the actual lever 6.
Figure 3 is a bottom view of one of the blades of figure 1, taken according to direction A of figure 2.
Figure 4 is a side view of the same blade, according to direction B of figure 3.
Figure 5 is a similar view to figure 1, showing a variant in the performance of the mechanism for the retraction of the blades.
Figure 6 is a cross section of the disk according to line VI-VI of figure 5, at larger scale.
Figure 7 is a partial perspective view of the disk of figure 5.
Figures 1 through 4 represent a rotary disk 1 which defines a zone of the surface of a receiver chamber or deposit for coins, of constitution known per se. In the example represented in the drawings, disk 1 is toothed around its periphery 2 in order to mesh with an activating pinion, though other systems or activating means could be used.

The blades are elastically impulsed towards the extracted position and are displaced towards the retracted position when they reach the arm or small blade 5 or the proximity of the same.
In the embodiment shown in figures 1 through 4, blades 7 form part of a plate 8 with elbowed profile which is provided on the section which runs below disk 1, of a transversal core 9 which is placed between parallel lugs 10 of an adjacent bridge 11 and attached to the rotary disk 1.

As from the articulation zone, the plate 8 and the bridge 11 extend in portions 13 and 14 between which a helical spring 15 is mounted, which impulses the blades 7 towards the extracted position shown in figure 2 and 4.
Support 4 on which disk 1 is mounted forms, in the proximity of the arm or small blade 5, a ramp 16, figure 2 on which the prolongation 13 of plate 8 of the blades bear, when they reach said proximity of the small blade 5, causing the tilting of the plate 8 in the direction of arrow G of figure 2, producing the retrac-tion of blade 7, thus preventing its impact with theedge of the arm or small blade 5, in such a manner, that it does not constitue an obstacle for the continuation of the rotation of disk 1.

Figures 5 through 7 show another possible manner of actuation on the blades 7 in order to cause its retraction. As can be observed from figure 6, blades 7 also form part of a right angled elbowed plate and are impulsed towards the extracted position by means of a spring 15a which is mounted between the section of the blade which runs below the rotary disk 1 and a disk or locking plate 17, both attached by means of screws 18.
The blades 7 extend as from their internal end into a section 7a which is adj acent to the central cone 18 of the refunder. Said section 7a is of decreasing height, until it reaches the surface of the rotary disk 1.
With this constitution, during the rotation of disk 1 in the direction of arrow F, when the prolongation 7a of each blade 7 meets the internal end of the arm or small blade 5, the ramp shape of this prolongation 7a progressively inserts under the small blade which causes the retraction of blade 7.
