Abstract
A bill box assembly for use with an acceptor adapted to insert acceptable bills into the box through an opening in the box body which supports a door for movement between an open position at which bills can be inserted and a closed position over the opening. A spring loaded bolt locks the box onto the acceptor. A lever is biased to cause a hook on one end thereof to enter an opening in the door in the closed position thereof to lock the door while the other end of the lever releases the bolt. A key-operated lock is adapted to move the lever out of its door locking position. The box is molded in two parts which are assembled with the belt in position.
