Claim 19:
20. A prescription medication take-back kiosk, comprising
a housing defining an exterior space and an interior space and a vault doorjamb, said interior space having a secured internal kiosk storage vault and said vault doorjamb having at least one doorjamb cam slot;
a hopper selectively moveable between a normally closed position disallowing insertion of controlled substances into said interior space of said housing and an open position allowing insertion of said controlled substances into said interior space;
at least one hopper baffle pin coupled with said hopper and moveable therewith;
a hopper baffle that obstructs access through said hopper to said secured internal kiosk storage vault while said hopper is in said open position and allows discharge of objects from said hopper to said secured internal kiosk storage vault when said hopper is in said normally closed position;
a non-linear baffle cam surface rigidly affixed with said hopper baffle and configured to engage with said at least one hopper baffle pin so that rotation of said hopper drives movement of said hopper baffle pin, which in turn pivots said hopper baffle in an amount determined by a slope of said non-linear baffle cam surface in contact with said at least one hopper baffle pin;
a vault door moveable between a normally closed position disallowing access to said secured internal kiosk storage vault, and an open position allowing access to said secured internal kiosk storage vault, said vault door having at least one door cam slot; and
