ABSTRACT:
An automatic reset mechanism for a self-locking covered coin receptacle for use in coin-controlled machines. The cover includes a channeled member carrying a window and slidably telescopically received within a second channeled member carrying an open-topped flexible bag to be aligned with the window. 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 (latch) 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, pivotally mounted to the slide for movement therewith when the slide is moved to uncover the window, is mounted to pivot horizontally when engaged by said slide during the retromovement thereof after fully uncovering the window to again cover the same. The bend functions as a latch and drops off the slide, engaging the trailing edge of the slide and biased thereagainst by the spring biased blade whereby to prevent subsequent movement of the slide. The automatic reset mechanism includes an arm carrying a depending cam fixedly secured to the second channeled member positioned across the path of the first channeled member and a lift formed as a part of the band spring arranged to be engaged by the cam during the withdrawal of the first member for gaining access to the bag, the band spring being lifted by the coaction of the cam and lift portion sufficiently to free the bent formation. The depending cam also serves to prevent separation of channeled members.
