ABSTRACT:
A coin operated vending mechanism is provided, particularly for use with cabinets in which newspapers and the like may be stored, for sale, upon insertion into appropriate slots of the correct coinage so as to operate the mechanism. Generally, a pair of coin chutes is provided, so as to provide for suitable combinations of coins. An anti-theft mechanism is provided, whereby return of coins in the coin chutes at the same time that the cabinet door is opened, or vice versa, is precluded--i.e., either the coins will return and the door latch will remain locked, or the door latch may be unlatched and no coins will be returned. The anti-theft mechanism comprises a first rotatable plate which engages a latch plate on the door, and a second plate supported by the first plate, such that when the latch plate is moved when the door is to be opened, the second plate swings into a position which precludes movement of the coin chutes in which coins are placed to a coin return position; and when the coin chutes are in a coin return position, un-latching of the latch plate is precluded.
