ABSTRACT:
A security guard for protecting the coin receptor unit of a coin operated automatic washing machine, dryer or similar machine embodying a heavy metal cage structure fitted about the coin rceptor housing so as to prevent unauthorized removal of the coin box therefrom. The guard is provided with a first sidewall member and a top wall member which are integrally related at right angles to one another. A second sidewall member is hingedly joined to the top wall member and operationally parallels the first sidewall member. A fixed bolt or shaft extends from the inside of the first sidewall member laterally through the coin receptor unit and is received through an opening in the second sidewall member when the latter is swung into operating position. A front wall member of the guard is also hinged to the first sidewall member and is arranged to swing over the front end of the receptor unit, blocking off access to the coin box. The front wall member is provided with an opening for the passage of a hardened steel shaft or bolt which anchors to the front wall member and passes through an opening formed for that purpose near the outer end of the fixed bolt so that the two are thus intersectingly interlocked exteriorly of the receptor and guard in operation. A suitable padlock or other locking means is provided to secure the bolt and shaft in their interlocked relationship, preventing its unauthorized removal.
