ABSTRACT:
A tamper-resistant cash acceptor for paper currency is provided for use with dispensing apparatus, and more particularly fuel dispensing apparatus. The tamper-resistant cash acceptor comprises a cash acceptor with forwardly removable cash cassette, a mounting bracket, a door actuator mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The cash acceptor can be moved relative to the mounting bracket from a forwardly oriented operating position to a lowered and rearwardly oriented cash cassette removal position and cash acceptor servicing position by movement of the door actuator mechanism from an upright and closed position to a laterally extending and open position. The locking mechanism is operatively associated with the door actuator mechanism and serves to interlockingly engage together the door actuator mechanism, the mounting bracket, and the cash acceptor when the cash acceptor is positioned in its forward and raised operating position in order to prevent access to the cash acceptor.
