Application filed November 14, 1911. Serial No. 660,233.
.State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Money- .Changing Mechanism, of which'the followingis a specification.
The. present-invention relates in general tp'money changing devices, and more par ticularly to that type' of money' changersx 'which operate automatically to deliver a c oin'or series of coishaying an aggregate value equivalent to .the diiference between theamountpurchased and the amount Atendered in payment for the purchase.
v j Among the objects of the invention isto provide a moneyA changing' device which vis comparatively simple in its construction, which can be easily7 and quickly manipulated, which is not liable to get out of re pair, and which will operate `in a positive "and reliable manner to deliver the proper amount of change without danger of error.
A further object of theinvention is to provide a change making device which is strong and compact in its construction, and which is adapted to be employed inv connection with-some conventional form of cash register so as to automatically deliver the proper amount of change at the same time that the amount of the purchase is rung up on the cash register.
`ill/ith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel. combinations and arrangements of the parts as wi-ll` more fully appear as the description proceeds,`the novel features thereof being point-fl ed out in the appended claims.
For a full understanding of the invention,- reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which l Figure l is a top plan View of the frame upon which the various coin bars are slid ably mounted, the coin holding tubes andl finger levers or keys being also shown. Fig. 2 is a detail view of one of tliecoin bars` and actuating levers, the finger lever being'- shown by full lines iniits normal position, and by dotted lines in the position assumed after being depressed. Fig. 3 is'a similar view, the actuating lever being shown by full lines in the' 'position assumed whenl forced, upwardly,to.revtnat,e reciprocate ing coin bar, and 4by dotted lines in a depressed position. F ig. 4 is a plan view of a selected few of the differential levers and operating levers. Fig. ,5 is a sectional view through the shaft upon which the differential levers are mounted, and Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view showing the two ejecting slides employed in connection with the tube which holds the ten cent pieces.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the. drawings by the same reference characters.
Referring more particularly to Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawing, the numeral 1 desig nates a transverse shaft upon which a se ries of rearwardly extending levers' 2A are pivotally mounted, the said levers being normally held yieldingly in a raised position by means of springs 3 which are connected to a rod 4. A finger lever 5 is provided for each of the main levers 2, the saidfinger levers beingalso mounted upon the shaft l and projecting forwardly therefrom in a reverse direction from the levers 2. Each ot' the finger levers 5 is provided vwith an upf wardly projecting arm 6 having a finger piece 7 at the ltop thereof, alternate linger pieces being deflected outwardly slightly farther than the remaining fingerv pieces so that the various finger pieces will form a two row keyboard, as shown more clearly -in Fig. l. The present'machine is merely in-v4 tended to illustrate certain principles of the invention and has' been simplified as much as possible in orderto avoid all unnecessary complications. It' has been assumed that the purchaser will tender a dollar and that'thme amount Aof' his purchase will be eithertive cents or some multiple thereof. The various linger pieces 7 are accordingly numbered by'fives from,A 5 tov flvinclusive. Each of the' main levers 2 is provided ad-` jacent the pivot end thereof with a nose 8 adapted to be engaged by a pawl 9 upon the corresponding finger lever 5. These pawls 9 are pivotally mounted between their-ends, 'as'i'ndicated at 110, upon earsl 1l 'projectingv ,'from' the finger levers, the noses of the pawlsnormally bearing vloosely upon the top 'of the projections 8, while the rear the pawls are connected to tension springs '-12 lwhich normally exert an Vupward pull thereon.. It Awill thus be apparent that when thueringen-filmer"5de'- [1P-rimessiv by rushing ends of screw 12a.
.piece 7, the nose of the pawl will be brought into engagement with the projection or shoulder 8 of the main lever 2, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2. A cam shaft 13 extends transversely under the various finger levers 5, and is provided with a cam finger 14 for each of the levers.
After the key or lever 5 which corresponds tothe amount'of the vpurchase has been depressed so as to bring the pawl 9 thereof into engagement with the shoulder 8 of the lever 2, the cani shaft 13 is rotated sov as to swing all of the cams 14 upwardly. Those keys or levers 5 which have. not been depressed and locked in a lowered position by means of the pawls 9 are not influenced by the cams 14, although any of the keys or levers 5 which have been previously depressed will be engaged and forced upwardly by the corresponding cams 14. As the previously depressed lever or key 5 is thus forced upwardly, the corresponding lever 2is moved downwardly, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3. On the same movement the locked pawl 9 is automatically disengaged from the nose or shoulder 8 by coming into contact with a' stationary stop, such as the Each of the levers 2 is connected by a transversely disposed differential lever 13a to its complemental lever, the sum of the coin values of the two levers being equal to 100 'or one dollar. These various diferenshaftlt11 which is arranged parallel to the levers 2 and at right angles to the shaft 1.
It will also be observed that the differential levers 13 are all pivoted at an intermediate point in their length, the ends of the said levers being provided with upwardly projecting pivoted arms 15 which'are notched or forked at their upper ends as indicated at 16 so as to enffage the lower edge of the lelevers.
vers 2. It will thus be apparent that when one of the levers 2 is forced downwardly by the 1action of the cori-@spendingl cam 14, the differential lever 13*1 connecting the said lever 2 to the complemental lever 2 will be tilted so as to for-ce the said oomplemental lever 2 upwardly into the position shown by full lines on Fig. 3. A. transverse shaft 17 extends over the free ends of the levers 2 and has a series of bell crank levers 18 mounted thereon, one of the said bell crank levers being provided for each of the main The lowerend of each of the heil crank levers is provided with a tianged roller 19 whichv engages the corresponding lever '2,.whi-le the upper end of each of the bell crank levers has an operative connection, as by means 'of a pin and slot arrangeu ment 20, with a reciprocating coin lbar 21.
`One of these reciprocating coin bars 2 1 is provided for each of the keys 5 and levers 2,`the.said bars being arranged parallel to series of coin tubes are mounted, the 5 cent -ing slide 27 is mounted at the bottom of the slide 28 is mounted at the base of the 25 cent .rectly to the ejectingl slide 30 of the 1G t the levers and being slidably mounted upon a frame 22. The rea'r of the machine is provided with a ledge or suitable supports upon which a tube being designated by the numeral 23, 4 the 10 cent tube being designated lby the numeral 24, the 25 cent tube being designated by the numeral 25, while the 50 cent tube is designated by the numeral 26. -An eject- 5 cent tube 23 so as to operate in the usual manner to eject a nickel when it is reciprocated. In a similar manner, an ejecting tube 25 and an ejecting tube 29 at the base of the 50 cent tube 26. The 10 cent tube 24 is provided with a pair of ejecting slides 30 make a ninety-five cent purchase S0 that the I v95 cent key 5 would be' depressed by the operator, the differential lever 13a would cause the 5 cent lever'2 'to be forced u wardly so as to reciprocate the 5 cent sli e 21 and eject annickel when the vcam shaft 13 is rotated. The correct amount of change would thus b e automatically delivered. The
10 cent slide- 21 is connected to the ejecting 100 slide 31 of the 10 cent tube 2t`so that a dime will be ejected when this slide is manipulated. Owing to the action ofthe diiferential lever and the mechanism previously described, it will be understood that'this slide 105'y will be automatically operated so as to de liver a ten cent piece when the 90 cent key 5 is depressed previous to operating `the cam f shaft 13. The 15 cent reciprocating bar 21 is provided with a lateral arm 32 which eX- 11'0 tends over the 5'cent and 10 cent bars and is adapted to engage an abutment 33 on the 5 cent bar and a corresponding abutment 34 on the 10 cent bar. It will thus bel obvious that when the 15 cent bar is reciprocated, the 115 arm 32 will cause both the 5 cent bar and 10 cent bar to be simultaneously reciprocated,
thereby ejecting both a dime and a nickel.
The 20 cent bar 21 is provided with an arm 35 adapted to engage the abutment 34 33 of the 10 cent bar, and is also connected ditube 2e. When this 20 cent slideis re... cated both of the ejecting sl'ides'30 and of the 10 cent tube will accordingly he si- 135 multaneously operated so as' to eject two dimes or'twenty cents. The 25 cents reciproeating bar-21 is connected directlyr to the ejecting slide 28 of the 25 cent tube 25 so as to eject a 25 cent piece when operated; The les i se' l abutment 38 on the 25 cent bar so as to oper- ,late both of the said bars and eject 30 cents when-ity is reciprocated. In. a similar manner, the cent bar 21 is provided with an arm 39 adapted to engage an abutment `40 onthe 10 cent bar ,and an abutment 41 on the i 25 cent bar; the 4() cent bar 21 with an arm 42 adapted to engage an abutment 43 on the 15 centbar and 'an abutment 44 on the 25 cent'bar; the 45 cent bar with an arm 42a engaging abutments 58 and 70 respectively on 25 cent andV 20 cent'bars; While the 50 cent. bar is connected directly to theejecting slide 29 ofthe 50 cent tube 26. The 55 cent bar 21 is provided with 'an arm 45 which is arranged under the various bars and en gages a shoulder or `abutment 46 on the bottom of the 5 cent bar and an abutment 47 on the bottom of the cent bar. The 60 cent bar 21 is provided with an arm 48 also extending under the bars and adapted -to engagev an abutment 49 on the 10 cent bar and an abutment50 on the 50 cent bar. The 65 cent `bar is` provided With an arm 51 adapted yto'engage an abutment 52 on the 15 *centV bar and an abutment 53 on the-50 cent bar. The 70 cent bar is provided with an -arm 54 adapted. to engage an abutment 55 on the 20 cent bar and an abutment 56 on the 50 cent bar. The 75 cent bar is provided with an arm 57 adapted to engage an abut- -ment 58 on the 25 cent bar and an abutment 2 59 upon the150 cent bar. The 80 cent bar is provided with an arm 60 adapted to engage an abutment 61 on the 30 cent bar, and an abutment 62 onthe 50 cent bar. The 85 cent bar is 'provided with an arm 63 adapted to engage an abutment 64 on the 35 cent barv and an abutment 65 on the 50 cent bar. The 90' cent bar is provided with an arm 66 adapted to engage an abutment 67 on the 40 cent bary andl an abutment 68 on the 50 cent4 bar. The 95 cent bar is provided with an arm 69' adapted to engage an abutment 70 on the 20 cent bar, the abutment 58 on the 25 cent bar, and the abutment 59 on the 50 cent bar.
From the foregoing description, it will be obvious that when any one of the reciprocating coin barsl21 is operated, a coin or num- 'ber of coins lwlll be ejected from the com holding tubes, the aggregate value of the coins ejected jbeing equivalent to the value of the bari21.` It otwill also be obvious that owing totheaction of thediii'erential levers,
the 85 cent bar 21 and eject 85 cents in coin upon the operation of the cam shaft 13, thereby automatically delivering the correct change,it being assumed that one dollary is tendered by the purchaser. In a similar manner, should the 75 cent key or lever 5 be depressed, the differential lever would` cause the 25 cent lever 2 to be raised so as to eject 25 cents upon the operation-of the cam Shaft 13.
lt is thought that the opera-tion of the device which has been described will beten tirely clearfrom theforegoing description. lt. will beunderstood, however, that this machine merely illustrates fundamental principles and that many changes and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention.
