Abstract

A tamper proof donation receptacle with a “V” shaped pivoting cover. A first leg of the “V” covers an opening of the receptacle and the second leg is sized and positioned to remain in constant blocking contact with the receptacle to prevent interior access when the cover leg is lifted and wherein the second leg is removed from such contact when the cover leg is lowered whereby articles placed between the legs fall into the receptacle.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is.:  
     
         1 . A secure receptacle for inserting articles therein, said receptacle comprising an open end closed with a pivoting member having two extending leg elements joined at a pivoting point, wherein a first leg is positioned and adapted to completely cover the opening without entering into the receptacle and without substantive formation of a space between said first leg and the inner wall of the receptacle, and wherein the other leg is positioned and adapted to pivotally move within the receptacle adjacent the open end thereof to a position not beyond the open end, whereby said other leg comprises means for preventing access to the interior of the receptacle when the first leg is removed from covering the receptacle, whereby no external access is afforded to the interior of the receptacle at any time, with pivoted removal of the first leg from covering the opening, whereby the receptacle comprises means to permit entry of an article into said interior of the receptacle only with closure of said opening by said first leg.  
     
     
         2 . The receptacle of  claim 1 , wherein said other leg is in constant contact with a portion of said receptacle to provide said prevention of external access but is removed from said portion with covering of the opening by said first leg.  
     
     
         3 . The receptacle of  claim 2 , wherein the receptacle comprises means to cause the article to fall into the interior of the receptacle when the opening is covered by said first leg.
