Abstract

A coin box assembly includes a main housing and a coin box removably received in the main housing. The main housing includes a pair of rails to guide the coin box to a position completely received in the main housing. The coin box includes an upper lid assembly which has a fixed plate and a movable door plate biased toward the fixed plate such that an upper opening of the coin box is in a normally open position for receiving coins. The main housing further includes a coin access defined in an upper plate thereof and in alignment with the upper opening of the coin box when the coin box is completely received in the main housing. When removing the coin box from the main housing, the stop of the movable door plate is moved across an electromagnetic valve mounted on the coin box such that the door plate is moved away from the fixed plate and thus blocks the upper opening of the coin box. The stop of the door plate is securely engaged with the electromagnetic valve after the stop has been moved across the electromagnetic valve to still block the upper opening of the coin box.
