ABSTRACT:
An open-topped coin collection box is mounted within a cabinet-like enclosure upon which is mounted a slot machine which is adapted to discharge coins downwardly to the collection box. The collection box is slidably supported on an inclined surface which slopes to an opening in the front wall of the cabinet through which the coin box, supported on the inclined surface, may slidably move outward of the cabinet enclosure under the urging of gravitational force. The coin box has a key operated lock for securing it in a fully enclosed position in which the front wall of the coin box will cover the front wall opening. The forward portion of the bottom of the box is equipped with a pivotally mounted flap which is supported against opening by virtue of engaging the enclosure's inclined surface, including when the box is releasably latched into an intermediate, partially opened position to allow inspection of box contents, and the flap is fully openable to allow discharge of coins held in the box when the box is allowed to be further withdrawn so that the flap is moved out of engagement with the inclined surface.
