Abstract
This coin divertor assembly includes a body providing a coin entry path and two coin exit paths. A gate member is mounted to the body at the end of the coin-entry path for selectively diverting a coin into one of the coin-exit paths. A holder maintains the gate in each of the gate positions in a stable equilibrium condition and an actuator provides an impulse force for moving the gate from one position of stable equilibrium to the other position of stable equilibrium.
