Abstract

See full text

The device has a base element (1) and a wing (5) arranged so as to be pivotable on the latter with a swivel joint (3). The swivel joint (3) has two fastening flanges (9, 10) which are pivotable about the swiveling axis (7) for fastening on the base element (1) or on the wing (5). At least one of the fastening flanges (9) has a snap on first holding element (21b, 23a) and second holding elements interacting with the first at least on one of the free rim sides of the base element (1) and/or of the wing provided for fastening the swivel joint. With these holding elements, the fastening flange is permanently connectable with the long side of the base element (1) and/or wing following the following fastening by pressing together. Preferably the device will be constructed as an interchangeable coin-collecting vending machine with a container accepting the coins as a base element and a cover covering the container with a locking facility as a wing, whereby all movable mechanical elements necessary for the locking process as well as all electrical control, monitoring and/or device encoding elements are arranged in the cover, and the container is merely constructed as a passive component.
