ABSTRACT:
A coin return chute structure adapted to be incorporated in a payphone includes two spaced wall plate and an outer chute member fixed between the two wall plates and defining therein a coin holding space. The coin return chute structure has a front side on which a front opening is formed for access to the coin holding space. The wall plates are each provided with three pivot holes to selectively receive therein a pivot pin for rotatably supporting lids of different sizes on the wall plates for closing the front opening. Cover plates of different sizes selected in accordance with the lid size used may be selectively fixed to the front opening for covering the portion of the opening that is not closed by the lid. An inner chute member is selectively mounted between the two wall plates to bypass the coin holding space by directing the returned coin directly out of the chute structure. Thus, the actual size of the front opening of the chute structure may determined by selecting the lid size and a non-holding type of coin returning operation may be achieved by adding the inner chute member.
