Application filed March 16, 1912. Serial No. 684,183.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE E. PERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in thecounty of Cook and State of I111- .nois, have Finvented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin-Receptacles, of which the following-is a specification.
One of the objects of my invention is to providea coin receptacle that is of light weight and small dimensions that may be conveniently carried in the vest side pocket.
Another object of my invention is tov provide, ina receptacle of this character,'openings through which the coins may be seen so v that the possessor of the device may at all times be advised at a glance of the number of coins contained in thereceptacle, and may, by inspection through said openings observe the general character of the coins.
Another object of my invention is to provide, in a device of this character, means for automatically locking certain of the coins so that they cannot be extracted after theyhave once been placed in the receptacle beyond the locking -means, and to provide other places in the receptacle for'coinsthat may easily be taken therefrom when urgently needed as in cases of emergency. The latter spaces, allotted to the coins, being located between the coin entrance opening and the coin locking means that retains the coins that have passed the locking point.

" Another object of my invention is to gene the structure of devices of this character.
Other and further objects of my invention will readily appear to persons skilled in the art from a consideration of the'following description taken in conjunction with the drawings, wherein;
Figure 1 is an elevation of one side of my receptacle, the opposite side being substarr tia'lly a duplicate of theside presented 1n this figure;'Fig. 2 is a longitudinal central section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Flg, 3 is a crosssection taken on lines 33 of F 1g.
'1 and Fig. is a fragmentary detail.
In all of the views the same reference characters indicatesimilar parts.
The device is made, relatively lon fiat and-narrow, so that it may find rea y accommodation in the users vest pocket. It is composed of two side members, or pieces, 5 and 6, that are substantial duplicates, and each side member is, provided with a p111 rality of perforations 7, that are somewhat smaller than the coin, which the receptacle is to' contain. Each of the side members is downturned, as at "8, and outturned at its edges as at9. The lower side member however, is diiferent frorn the upper one in that it is turned up at its extreme edge, as at 10, over the edge of the companion side member. And then it is-folded down again, as at 11, to provide a joint to hold the two members together. Ihave found this feature of my structure convenient and cheap ofconstruction butyariatioris of this feature are within contemplation of myinvention. j I inturned longitudinal rib, 12, is provided in each of the side members leavin' a space larger than the diameter of a coin e- ;tween the end of the rib and the respective 'endsof'the side members and between this rib and'respective outer edge and entirely around the rib is provided a coin channel or raceway, 13. The raceway is of width sufficient to admit'the coin, as shown in Fig. 1, wherein a ten cent coin, or dime 15, isshown in place and the relative size of the opening, with relation to the coin, is shownin dotted lines, 16. y Contained between the side members 5 and "6 are two parallel partitions of spring metal, which may be of steel, of bronze, or the like, and which afford the floors of the raceways on the respective sides of the device.
tongue is also bent outwardly and 1 s intended as a means for frictionally retaining the coin that has been preliminarlly inserted through the opening and before it passes the locking tongues, but the coin can be returned through the coin-inserting-opening without interference of the tongue and until after the 'coin has passed the tongue.
An opening 26 is made in each of the side members through which to insert an obstruction such as washers to be held by a rivet in the coin path to prevent the coins from passing out through slot 25 until after the rivet has been substantially destroyed and removed.
The perforation, or opening, 27, is made through the sheets 17 and 18, for insertion ofthe shank of the rivet 28, which may be made of lead, or other similar material. Washers, 29, preferably about the size of the coin, are placed, one on each side, and the rivet is passed through them-and it is then compressed to form a head 30 on each side thereby providing aseal for the receptacle.
The inturnedrib, 12, has its innersurfaces parallel with the partition wall and rivets 31 and 32 may be employed for assisting in holding the side members 5 and 6 together.
The use and operation of the coin holding levice is as follows: A coin may be inserted in the slot 24 and is thereby-placed immediately over the tongue 23, as ,when it has been fully inserted, the tongue serves as a .means for frictionally retaining the dime, or
other coin, in place, but the coin, in cases ofemergency, can be removed from thls'posltion, out throughthe'entrance openmg 24.
It is therefore not permanently retained in the receptacle until after it has been pushed beyond the tongues 19 and 20, or the tongues 21 and 22, respectively, as the case may be, and when the coin is in this initial position I will call it an emergency coin, because if an emergency arises itmay be quickly eX-- tracted and used, as it is not beyond the control of the user until after it passes beyond this position and has been pushed beyond .the locking tongues to which I have just referred'. In the exemplification shown, the device will contain twenty coins. As it is made for coins of ten'cent denomination it will therefore hold two dollars in locked in coins and two emergency coins and each and every one of the coins may be inspected,
while it is within the device, through the respective apertures 7. After-the coin has passed beyond the emergency posit-ion and it; is desired to pass; it into "the retainer, be-
yond thelockingj to'ngues, it may be moved throughthe raceirayby. pressure of the finger appliedon the exposed surface of the coin throughthe apertures 7, and thus it may be'moved'alon'g theraceway from oneaperture to another.
, The receptacle is designedto' be used connection withsavings banks and'for-tlns,
reason it is advantageous that after the coin has been once inserted in the receptacle it cannot be removed untilthe seal 28 has been taken away. After'the user has'filled the receptacle with coins itis then taken to the a bank, which is provided with a special tool then be emptiedfrom the receptacle effected. by
while a ten cent piece is theconvenient coin for thepurpose of saving, the device may be made suitablefor coins of other denominations.
- While I'have herein. described a single embodiment ofmy invention, for the pur pose of complete disclosure, it is evident that many changes maybe made within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spiritof the invention.
What I claim is 1. A coin. receptacle comprising aside member having its edges down turned and a central longitudinally extending inturned rib to provide, between said rib and sides, coin-raceways; a bottom underlying said side member between which and said side member coin receiving openings are pro: vided. for insertion and removal of coins at the respective ends thereof, a removable ob} struction in the coin path to said removal opening, and yielding obstructions in the 'coinpath from the insertion opening whereby a coin may be freely inserted but not removed from the receptacle. 2. A' coin receptacle comprising two substantially duplicate side members having their edges down turned and ,joined, and' each member providedwith a. central longitudinally extending rib to provide between said "rib and respective sides coin racew'ays, one on each side of 'eachjrib, a partitionbetween said side members dividing said raceways each, into two separated racewaysand between sa1d partition and the end portions of said side members slots for insertion and removal of coins, are provided, means near the insertion slot preventing return of the coin and means near the removal slot to prevent extractionof the coin.
3. A-coin receptacle comprising two subistantiallyduplicate side members, each provided' wish a plurality of inspection perforations smaller thanthe coin to be contained therein, and each member having its edges I down turned and joined and each member 'havln'g anhinturned longitudinally extending rib,- thereby providing coin raceways, in each member; extending entirely around the respectlve rlbs, a separating partition infor said coins, a spring actuated catch near the ent'ranceslot to prevent return of the coin and an obstruction near the exit slot to retain the coin in the receptacle which said obstruction requiresitsdestruction to permit its removal.
In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
