Abstract
A cash box which is of rectangular shape, and comprises a top lid part and a bottom receptacle part of similar shape and depth which are hinged together at the back. The bottom part supports a coin-receiving tray having an outwardly-extending flanged rim, which seats on the top edge or lip of the bottom part and provides a seal between the two parts. This flanged rim is also adapted to cover the joint between the lid and bottom part when the cash box is closed. A lock unit is fitted in a recessed portion of the top panel of the lid part, which also accommodates a pivoted carrying handle. The lock has a locking plate that cooperates with an abutment provided by an upstanding post, which is secured to the bottom receptacle part and which passes through an aperture in the coin-receiving tray. The structure disclosed facilitates economical manufacture of a compact cash box with an efficient utilization of storage space.
