ABSTRACT:
A tamper-deterrent box for collecting travel fees on board of a bus. It has a case at the top of which are two distinct slots for feeding paper money through one and coins to the other. Beneath each slot is a fee gathering container where the fees may be received and view for control through a window at the front of the case. The gathering containers comprise pivotable guide slides brought against the front wall of the case. A lever, operable from outside the case, may cause pivoting of the guide slides to allow the fees to fall into individual chutes and thence into one of two compartments of a fee receptacle located in a housing at the bottom part of the case. The receptacle has a door at the top connected to a first lock that allows its opening only when the receptacle is in the housing. A further lock, operable from outside the case, operates a first plate that gets inserted into the receptacle to hold it in the housing and a second plate that engages with the door to hold it open only when the receptacle is in the housing. A linkage assembly connects the lever and the second plate, the latter preventing movement of the first plate out of the receptacle unless the lever is operated which causes pivoting of the guide slides and emptying of the fee gathering containers.
