ABSTRACT:
A drum-shaped cash drop box rotatable about a pin coincident with its central axis includes a substantially U-shaped rotatable handle. The drum has a plurality of compartments. Insertion slots arranged at spaced intervals about the drum cylindrical periphery, each communicating with an associated compartment. Swingable doors arranged along one flat side wall of the drum respectively lockingly seal and unseal access openings, for gaining access to the compartments. The drop box is insertable into a parallelepiped shaped sleeve, having one vertical side opening. Guides in the sleeve interior limit the penetration depth of the drop box into the sleeve and align the handle for locking. The pin of a lockable detent moves into an opening in one arm of the handle to lock the drop box within the sleeve while permitting free rotation thereof. The top surface of the sleeve is provided with a common insertion opening and the drop box is rotatable to selectively align the drop box insertion openings therewith. Shutter assemblies provided in each compartment include a shutter biased to seal its associated insertion opening. A latch assembly receives a projection on its associated shutter plate to lock the shutter plate in a position displaced from the associated insertion opening. A lockable detent mounted upon the sleeve includes a pin movable through an elongated opening in the sleeve for unlatching the latch assembly, the shutter being held in the latched position by the pin until release.
