Abstract (en)

A latch mechanism for a cashbox having a base and lid is made substantially of acetal. It comprises a moulded acetal latch member(8) pivotally mounted for movement between an operative latched position in which the cashbox lid is locked to the cashbox base. The latch member (8) is acted upon by a low voltage solenoid which coacts with a rocker (6). The rocker holds the latch member (8) in the operative latched position, but when released by the solenoid releases the latch so that it can pivot to the inoperative unlatched position under the action of an integral sprung extension (11) and/or the action of a separate spring in which position the box can be opened.
