Abstract
A coin feed opening (16) formed in the lid (1) of the coin collection box is associated with a closure with a closing slide (17) displaceble by means of a moving mechanism (49, 45, 46) operable on the outside of the coin collection box. An escapement (29-32) designed as a jump mechanism makes possible, after every closing of a lock (6) securing the lid (1) against unauthorized opening, only a one-time opening and subsequent closing of the closure. Once the coin collection box is in the automat in its predetermined position, a catch (57, 59) blocking the closure in the opening direction (28) is released by a bolt (53) fixedly connected to the automat. At the same time, the bolt (53) is locked by means of a latch (58) in the coin collection box when the closing slide (17) is in the open position.
