Security Hinge For Gaming Device

US Patent:
5544595, Aug 13, 1996
Filed:
May 5, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/238376
Inventors:
Orlando W. Stephenson - Kentwood MI
Lee M. Terpstra - Caledonia MI
Charles E. Armock - Conklin MI
Assignee:
Spec International Inc. - Grand Rapids MI
International Classification:
E06B 336
US Classification:
109 74
Abstract:
A hinge arrangement for a gaming device includes a hinge pivotally connecting a cabinet access door to a cabinet. The cabinet access door and the cabinet form a gap therebetween adjacent the hinge when the cabinet access door is closed, but the hinge forms a pocket-shaped barrier around the gap preventing unauthorized access through the gap into the interior of the cabinet. Further, an edge of the cabinet pivots into the pocket and engages a side of the pocket-shaped barrier when the cabinet access door is pivoted 90. degree. to the open position, thus preventing the cabinet access door from pivoting beyond 90. degree. damagingly into an adjacent gaming device.

Hinge For Bill Acceptor Door On Gaming Device

US Patent:
5515959, May 14, 1996
Filed:
Apr 26, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/233076
Inventors:
Orlando W. Stephenson - Kentwood MI
Lee M. Terpstra - Caledonia MI
Assignee:
SPEC International - Grand Rapids MI
International Classification:
G07F 704, G07F 1734
US Classification:
194206
Abstract:
A bill acceptor door is pivotally mounted to a cabinet access door of a cabinet by a hinge arrangement that facilitates assembly, but which provides secure retention of the bill acceptor door. In particular, tile hinge arrangement includes a hinge bracket defining a pair of slots, and the bill acceptor door includes a housing defining a pair of slot engaging pivot pins. The housing is configured to securely receive a bill acceptor and a bill collector cartridge, but only after the bill acceptor door is mounted on the cabinet. The bill acceptor door can be oriented in the intermediate position so that the pivot pins will slidingly engage the slots. The hinge bracket further defines fingers which engage the restrictive space between the pivot pins and the bill acceptor door to interlockingly engage the pivot pins and thus securely retain tile bill acceptor door to the hinge bracket when the bill acceptor door is located between the intermediate and open positions.
