ABSTRACT:
An improved structure of a coin collector cover comprises an upper cover, a cover plate, a buckling piece, a positioning plate and a twisted spring. The upper cover is installed with a coin inlet and a slot. The cover plate is located on the plane of the upper cover. A plurality of teeth are installed on the edge thereof, and a twisted spring is arranged between the cover plate and the upper cover. By the elastic force of the twisted spring, the cover plate may be retained to cover the coin inlet. The buckling piece is pivotally installed on the plane of the upper cover. The edge thereof is installed with a plurality of teeth pieces for being engaged with the teeth of the cover plate. A nose portion is disposed at the edge thereof, while the buckling piece is further installed with a block which is combined with a lock. The edge of the positioning plate is formed with a concave portion for receiving the buckling piece so that the positioning plate can be installed on the plane of the upper cover. A compressible spring is formed between the positioning plate and the upper cover. By the elastic force of the compressible spring, the concave portion of the compressible spring may move toward the nose portion of the buckling piece. By above structure, when the covers plate cover the coin inlet, the lock is controllable so that the teeth piece is engaged with the teeth of the cover plate and then the concave portion of the positioning plate is engaged with the nose portion of the buckling piece so as to avoid the cover plate being opened, when the lock is controlled to cause the buckling piece to displace so that the teeth piece separates from the teeth of the cover plate, then the cover plate may be opened and the coin inlet appears.
