ABSTRACT A self-locking coin receptacle and cover therefor for use in coin-controlled machines. In one embodiment described herein the cover is formed as an assembly of channeled members, the first being a rectangular open-bottom member and a second member adapted slidably telescopically to be received within the first member. The first member carries a window alignable with the coin delivery chute of the coin- controlled machine. The second member carries a coin container, the entrance thereto being aligned with the window. A narrow longitudinal slot in the first member opens to the window. A spring biased slide is installed on the floor of the channel defined within said first member. The slide operates to cover and uncover the window. A spring catch mechanism is provided for operation between a set condition to permit the slide to be urged against its normal bias for uncovering the window when the assembled container is installed in the machine, and a latched condition subsequent to the removal therefrom. Simultaneously with removal of said assembly from the machine, the slide is returned to cover the window, closing off access to the container other than by removal of the cover therefrom. A hooked detent is capable of being biased into the opened window whenever the window is partially or fully uncovered. A follower is secured to the detent and is ridable in a guide slot positively forcing the hooked end into the window and retract the same only when the window is closed. The detent prevents removal of the assembly from the receptacle unless the window is covered fully. Several spring catch mechanisms are operable on the slide for preventing undetectable uncovering of the window subsequent to removal of the assembly from the machine. The first and second members must be separated to gain access to the container and to reset the spring catch mechanism. The cover assembly is suitable for use with a rigid coin box and with a flexible coin bag. - 2 -
