ABSTRACT:
A fare box includes a first coin receiving opening in an upper surface of the outer shroud and a second paper receiving opening also in the upper surface and defined by a horizontal surface over which the paper is fed. The feed system comprises a first elastomeric roller divided into three separate coaxial parts and cooperating with a first central narrow roller and a pair of belts on either side of the narrow roller for grasping the paper and directing it from the horizontal surface downwardly into an inspection zone. The inspection zone has a dump platter controlled by a time delay and a manually operable switch with the time delay being reset by the manually operable switch, by a switch responsive to the receipt of the fare and by a manually operable delay switch. A bolt which can be inserted into the outer casing has depressible pins which are guided by tracks on the casing so that the lid is moved to an open position as the bolt is inserted into the housing and is forced by the track into a closed locked position as the bolt is pulled out. The guide tracks are curved and the inlet guide track includes a ramp surface for depressing the pins into a compressed position before releasing them into the remainder of the guide track. Only when the bolt is removed can the outer shroud securing bolts be accessed for removal of the shroud for service on an inner carriage supporting the operating parts of the fare box.
