Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0037437A1] 1. Safe for the reception of coins from coin-fed amusement apparatuses, particularly for installation in amusement arcades comprising a coin feeding shaft (16) leading through the upper safe cover plate (13) into the safe interior and a receptacle for the coins arranged in the area of the coin feeding shaft in the safe interior (10) and removable, which is constructed as a push-in, theft-proof transport safe (12, 12a, 12b) closed on all sides, the upper cover plate (32) of which in pushed-in position of the transport safe (12, 12a, 12b) having an access aperture (34) which matches the exit aperture of the coin feeding shaft (16, 16a, 16b) when the transport safe is in pushed-in position and which is automatically closed by means of a slide lock (36) when the transport safe (12, 12a, 12b) is withdrawn from the safe (10), characterized in that a number of feeding shafts (16, 16a, 16b) for the coins running approximately vertically down is arranged in the upper cover plate (13) of the safe (10), in that each feeding shaft (16, 16a, 16b) at the height of its lower end between the door aperture and the rear of the safe (10) has a supporting plate (18, 18a, 18b) parallel with the bottom of the safe fixed to its lower end with two parallel lateral guides (20, 22; 20a, 22a; 20b, 22b) in the form of rails for the transport cassette (12; 12a; 12b) which can be pushed into these guides and which is held in these guides, whereby the upper cover plate (32) of each transport cassette (12, 12a, 12b) is removable and can be locked by means of a lock, in that each transport cassette (12, 12a, 12b) has guides (40, 42) in the form of grooves at its lateral walls running in the longitudinal direction of the transport cassette to receive the rail-like guides (20, 22; 20a, 22a; 20b, 22b) which, when the transport cassette is pushed-in, is aligned with a slot (24; 24a) provided in the respective rail-like guide (42), whereby the marginal jog (44) and the slot (24, 24a) aligned with it are lockable at the rail-like guides (20, 22; 20a, 22a; 20b, 22b) by means of a bar which can be turned through a lock (46) and which is positioned on the transport cassette (12, 12a, 12b) and in that the slide lock (36) is part of a positioning and locking device which is positioned on the lower side of the cover plate (32).
