A money box support arrangement in a housing for receiving a lockable money box of the type having transversely extendable locking bolts, which support arrangement secures the money box against removal from the housing. On the housing is provided a wall having an opening into which the money box is inserted, and positioned within the housing behind said wall is a frame secured to the housing. The frame has an opening for the insertion therethrough of the money box and flanges spaced with respect to said wall to define therewith channels that receive and confine the locking bolts of the money box to secure it against further movement relative to the housing, either inwardly or outwardly, thereby preventing removal of the money box by prying.

Money box support arrangement

A removable funnel for a coin operated apparatus is disclosed which serves to catch coins deposited in the housing of the apparatus and direct said coins to a coin receiving location within said housing. The funnel is provided with hook members which engage with a support member positioned within the housing. Such engagement permits movement of the mounted funnel from a first position wherein the funnel is removable from the housing to a second position wherein the funnel is prevented from being removed therefrom. The funnel further includes a locking tab which projects through an opening in the support member, and which is disposed for bending movement from an unlocked position to a locked position when the mounted funnel is in its second position. The support member is provided with a blocking tab which is located to prevent bending movement of the locking tab to its locked position when the mounted funnel is in its first position. The location of the blocking tab is such that it also engages with the locking tab when the funnel is in its second position and the locking tab is bent to its locked position to thereby prevent movement of the funnel from its second position to its removable first position.
