Abstract

A coin sorting and storage tube assembly for use in vending is separable into halves to facilitate servicing. Cam lock fasteners in the form of a shaft surmounted by a tab portion are rotatably retained in one half. The tab portion passes through a slot in the other half. Turning the fasteners locks the halves together.
