ABSTRACT:
A coin mechanism (42) is located above a coin collecting chamber (28) in a coin mechanism housing (22). A partition (46) in the housing separates the coil collecting chamber from the coin mechanism. An opening (54) permits coins to drop from the coin mechanism to the coin collecting chamber. The housing has a removable hood (36) exposing the coin mechanism without exposing the coin collecting chamber. A control device (62) is movable between a first position and a second position. A plate (68) connected to the control device covers the passageway to divert coins from the coin mechanism to a return receptacle (30) when the control device is in its first position. The plate clears the passageway to transfer coins from the coin mechanism to the coin collecting chamber when the control device is in its second position. A baffle system directs coins from the coin mechanism to the center of the collecting chamber. The housing is mounted on a frame having a substantially flat top panel under the top panel to form between the top panel and the top of the housing a hood receiving region having an entrance. A restriction is formed at the entrance of the region between the top panel and the housing to permit passage of the top of the hood into the region only when acutely angled relative to the housing. The hood fits the housing in parallel abutting relationship so as to with the housing completely enclose the coin mechanism.
