Abstract

A coin-operated vending machine includes fastening elements adapted to be reached to fasten a lower base to an upper body by inserting a tool through openings in the lower base bottom once a coin box is removed from the lower base whereas the elements cannot be reached and unfastened when the openings are blocked by the coin box in the lower base, a transverse wall attached to an outer wall of the upper body and disposed across the upper body so as to block off access to the coin box by reaching through the upper body with a head of the machine removed, a central rod adapted to assemble the upper body to the head being fixedly attached upon the transverse wall, and a motion-responsive device operable in conjunction with a coin chute to permit coins only to pass through it from a coin-actuated mechanism to the coin box.
