Abstract

A double actuation coin slide system is provided which is associated with a coin slide housing. A sequential controller is associated with the coin slide housing and is energizable for controlling a timed sequence of operations. A power source provides electrical power between a pair of conductors for energizing the sequential controller. A switch is associated with one of the electrical conductors and is actuatable for selectively connecting or disconnecting electrical power from the power source to the sequential controller. A coin slide is mounted on the coin slide housing and is movable from a coin receiving position to a position for rotationally advancing a shaft portion of the sequential controller. The coin slide is operable through a first coin slide insertion cycle for effecting actuation of the switch to disconnect the power source while conditioning the sequential controller for energization by advancing the shaft portion. The coin slide is operable through a subsequent second coin slide insertion cycle for effecting actuation of the switch to connect the power source and energize the sequential controller so that two coin slide insertion cycles are required for initiat…
