Coin deflector for a coin telephone receptacle

摘要

A coin receptacle which maximizes use of the space within the receptacle and minimizes the frequency of collection visits. The coin receptacle solves the problem of pyramiding and dead space within by providing a resilient, angled surface positioned in the path of the failing coins. Upon striking the resilient surface, the coins tend to spin or rotate and land flat, and are distributed throughout the receptacle. The structure minimizes the possibility of down time.
