Abstract
Coin selector, which defines a route or path for the coins, along which are fitted optical and electromagnetic sensors and at least one rocker arm located towards the entrance to that route or path which is responsible for directing the coins towards the correct path. The selector also includes a mobile permanent magnet and a fixed magnetic relay close to that magnet, the magnet being fitted to the rocker arm and located towards the entrance to the path for the coins. The displacement of the rocker arm pulls the magnet, varying the action of the magnet's magnetic field on the relay. The relay is connected to a power supply circuit for the sensor, which is activated when a coin is introduced.
