ABSTRACT:
A coin-operated pay telephone is made secure from the removal of the coin return mechanism by a vandalizing bar and the subsequent collection of returned coins by vandals. A security bar is inserted behind the coin chute and down through an opening in an intermediate strengthening plate to block rocking of the coin return mechanism by a vandalizing bar and its translation forward out of the casing through the opening in which a finger is normally inserted to retrieve coins for incompleted telephone calls. The security bar includes a shoulder which rest on top of the rear edge of the coin return mechanism. The rear of the security bar includes a horizontal slot which is received on the portion of the strengthening plate behind its opening to prevent displacement of the security bar.
