Abstract: A longitudinally movable normally outwardly biased release rod is provided with a lateral projection having a coin receiving slot therein. A pivoted locking pawl is connected adjacent the release rod and normally engages the same to prevent inward movement. A second independently longitudinally displaceable rod connected adjacent the first release rod and carrying a U-shaped yoke, having a lateral projection which normally closes the bottom of the coin receiving slot such that a coin therein has its upper edge projecting into engagement with the U-shaped yoke, and a cam on the second rod adapted to raise the locking pawl when the release rod is moved inwardly and the coin moves the second rod inwardly, and a timing mechanism coupled to and actuated by the second rod and controlling the return stroke of the second rod and connected to release the second rod under influence of a return spring after an adjustable time period to the normal outward position to return the locking pawl to locking engagement with the first-mentioned release rod.
