Coin and currency receptacle assembly for money operated machines

摘要

An assembly is comprised of a pair of plastic molded units which can be assembled substantially universally in coin vending machines. A first unit is adapted to be fixedly installed in a dedicated location in the machine for passing coins therethrough which were inserted into the machine for activating it. A second unit is constructed to be removably assembled to said first unit for receiving the coins passing through the first unit. The second unit has a flexible bag secured thereon into which the coins are stored after passing through the second unit. The bag has two separated storage pockets, one of the pockets stores the coins. The second pocket is available for storing paper currency which may have been used to activate the machine. The bag also can be provided with a pocket for holding the computer print-out from the machine. The first unit has a spring-biased closure member normally biased to a closed position over the upper end of the passageway therethrough for coins inserted into the machine. The second unit has an integral cam which engages said closure member when the two units are assembled together by sliding the second unit into said first unit. The two units have a cooperating spring biased pin and socket lock for retaining the units in their locked assembly.
