Prepayment product or service dispenser

Abstract

The apparatus comprises a post anchored to the ground including a closable compartment containing a removable coin box, and a container attachable to the post. The post comprises means for concomitantly opening the compartment, extracting the coin box from the compartment and releasing the container from the post for access to internal means included in the post and the container. The apparatus has only a single entrance for access to the coin box compartment and internal means, thus providing effective protection to the interior of the apparatus at low cost.
