Abstract

525,246. Prepayment mechanism. UNITED GAS INDUSTRIES, Ltd., CHARLES, A., and CHRISTIAN, A. J. Feb. 21, 1939, No. 5829. [Class 27] A prepayment mechanism for meters or for rental of appliances, house property &c. comprises a quantity mechanism 3, a control element 14 related thereto for operating, say, a gas inlet valve 17, and coin-holder mechanism 1 adapted for use with a plurality of sizes of coin and for transmitting through the quantity mechanism 3 to the control element 14 a determined travel irrespective of the coin which has to be prepaid. The coin-holder mechanism 1 may be suitable for one value coin only, and be readily removable for substitution of a coin-holder mechanism suitable for another determined value coin. A transmission gear 5, 6, 7, 8 is shown for imparting drive from the coin-holder mechanism to the quantity mechanism, which may be in the form of a nut moved forward on a rotating threaded spindle, and is returned by the metering mechanism or by a time control mechanism 20. The mechanism 20 may be an electric clock operated by a battery 21. When substitution coin holder mechanisms are employed the coin slots in the respective change discs are of the size required for the coin to be employed, and the discs are held in position by a retaining ring.
