ABSTRACT:
A coin box locking mechanism for original installation or retrofitting in a conventional coin operated vending machine where, with the depositing of an appropriate coin in a coin mechanism and turning of that coin mechanism handle, a measured volume of product, such as loose candy, nuts, or the like, will vend from a chute in a front face of which vending machine onto a person's hand. The coin box locking mechanism includes a base retainer that is for installation onto the top surface of the vending machine base, and receives a plurality of spaced brackets, each secured at one end of each to the base retainer, the brackets extending upwardly within the vending machine body, with the opposite bracket ends supporting a flat horseshoe shaped shelf thereon. The horseshoe shaped shelf has parallel legs extending from ends of a web, the opposite ends of each of which legs are bent back upon themselves forming seats, each seat for receiving an edge of a flat cover fitted therein. The cover is formed for fitting across the top of the vending machine body and includes a key operated lock mounted therein such that an operator, turning a key turns a lock spindle that pivots a bar end beneath the web of which flat shelf, thereby locking that cover in covering engagement over the coin containing portion of the vending machine body.
