ABSTRACT:
A self-locking coin receptacle and cover therefor for use in coin-controlled machines. The cover is formed of two parts, the first being a rectangular open-bottom channeled member carrying a window and a second, channeled member carrying an open-topped flexible bag aligned with the window. The second member is adapted slidably to receive the first member telescopically therein. A spring biased slide is installed on the floor of the channel defined within said first member and operates between a first condition covering the window and a second condition uncovering the window. A band spring member removably is fastened to the first member and includes a bent formation at its free end arranged to ride the slide when the same is moved to uncover the window, and to block movement of the slide when the window is covered by return of said slide. A spring biased blade is pivotally mounted to the slide for movement therewith when the slide is moved to uncover the window. The blade mounted to pivot when engaged by said slide during the retromovement thereof after fully uncovering the window to again cover the same. The bent formation drops off the slide and engages the leading edge of the slide, biased thereagainst by the spring biased blade whereby to prevent subsequent movement of the slide. When the mechanism is reset for operation, the bent formation of the spring is lifted by grasping a tab provided thereon, the spring biased blade returning immediately to its normal position, since the latch is lifted from its engagement with the trailing edge of the slide. When the latch end is lifted, it rests upon the blade, the slide is actuated again, the bent formation is guided over and past the trailing edge of the blade onto the slide. A spring biased detent is positioned to enter the window whenever the window is uncovered, fully or partially and remains in the window to prevent removal of the bag and cover from its installation unless the window again is covered simultaneously with removal from said installation.
