786,634. Appliances for handling coins. SEEBOHM, D. Sept. 21, 1955 [June 21, 1954]. No. 18194/54. Class 116 Each of several compartments in a money bowl has an inwardly concave wall 16, Fig. 2, formed with a rim 17 so that after a coin is slid upwardly over the wall by the tips of the fingers the coin falls from the wall on to the fingers. In the construction of Figs. 1 and 2 a number of channel shaped bowls 15 are placed side-by-side and separated by a shallow wall 24 from a trough 23 for holding notes. In the construction of Fig. 4 two bowls 36 side-by-side form a unit which, together with a further unit comprising three end-toend bowls 30 and a set of compartments 40 for notes fit within a teller's draw 28. The section of the bowls 36, 30 is illustrated in Fig. 5. The devices illustrated may be moulded from plastic or formed by flat plastic walls between which are bonded curved sheets forming the curved walls. As shown in Fig. 1 a set of plastic bowls may be held in a drawer 10 by screws 14. In a construction similar to that of Fig. 1 the walls 21 are replaced by a removable plastic strip fitting in slots in the rear wall 26 of the trough 23.
