Japanese Patent JPS4852296
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A locking system for a vending machine cabinet having an inner product area door and an outer security door for closing the cabinet as a whole utilizes the latch operating handle associated with the primary lock on the outer door, which latches the outer door to the cabinet, to conceal and prevent access to the secondary lock, which latches the two doors together with a space for housing control elements confined therebetween. Partial rotation of the handle when the primary lock is unlocked, exposes the secondary lock to permit unlocking of the latter without causing unlatching of the outer door from the cabinet, thus permitting the doors to be unlocked from one another as a prelude to opening of the outer door only for access to said housing space without exposing the storage area of the cabinet to ambient temperature air as would occur upon opening of the inner door also. Release of the primary lock alone permits access to the product area but not to the housing space to prevent unauthorized access to stored coins and tampering with control elements therewithin; while release of both locks permits access to either or both said area and said space, if desired.
