The coin box includes inner and outer relatively rotatable cylindrical housings having coin receiving openings in the sides thereof with a locking assembly for locking the housing in a position of non-alignment of the opening, a latching bracket and unlocking device is provided in the chamber for cooperatively engaging the locking assembly for unlocking the box for preventing relative rotation of the inner housing with respect to the outer housing and simultaneously locking the box assembly within the chamber.

Money box and vault

Apparatus for handling paper money in a vending or money changing machine, in which a validator unit either accepts or rejects an inserted bill. Each accepted bill is moved a short distance by a conveyor to a handling station, where a ram pushes the bill into an escrow box in which the bill is held until the associated transaction is completed. When the transaction is complete, the ram pushes the bill through the escrow box into a stacker or storage vault. If the transaction is not completed, the escrow box swings down and the bill is ejected for return to the donor. The operation is automatic, the mechanism being simple and adaptable to a variety of vending machines.
