COIN-RECEIVING DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. '7, 1916.
Application filed April 6, 1914. Serial No. 829,792.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HOWARD A. DODGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Coin-Receiving Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to coin receiving devices, and more particularly to a coin receiving device adapted for use with a cash register, and the principal object is to provide a receiver having a plurality of chambers within each of which a coin is visible.
It is also an object to provide a coin receiver with a plurality of chambers in which a coin is visible and transferred successively from one to the next succeeding chamber.
It is a further object to provide a coin receiving receptacle which is operated automatically to deliver a coin from the last receptacle to a container manually operated in the operation of a cash register.
In the drawings accompanying this specification and forming therewith the application for Letters Patent: Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the relation of the coin receptacle to a cashiers window. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section showing the lower floor tripped for depositing coms withln the container located below the coin receptacle.
Fig. 4 is a similar section to Fig. 3, showing a coin being transferred from the first to the second chamber.
This invention consists more specifically of an elongated receptacle or box having side walls 5 and 6 having a top 7 which is preferably of glass, and a front wall 8, the upper portion 9 being of glass, and the rear wall 10 of glass, the bottom of the structure being open and adapted to permit the passage of coins from means of pivoted floors.
In the wall 6 close to the top wall 7 an opening is formed which is preferably surrounded by a coin chute 11, which is preferably of the configuration shown, having its lip 12 on a level with a plate 18 mounted in the window of the cash register, so that the coin can be readily slipped into the chamber formed by the walls of the chute 11 and the fixed inclined shelf 14: and the pivoted floor 15.
The shelf 14 and the pivoted floor are preferably formed of sheet metal and exthe two chambers isolated by tend from side to side, the shelf being inserted in a saw-cut in the wooden side walls, the floor being of a general rectangular form and bent upon itself to form a hinge 16 supported on the hinge pin 17 mounted in the end walls. This floor 15 is adapted to engagewith the lower edge of the shelf 14 and is supported in this relation by means of a movable plate 18 which is pivotallv mounted upon a pin 19 by means of a slid lng connection formed by the strap 20 secured to the plate, the strap being connected to a pivoted lever 21 pivoted on the pivot pin 22, which is also secured in the side walls 5 and 6. The connection between the strap 20 andthe lever 21 is by means of a pin 23 whlch is mounted in the yoked end of the lever, which is preferably formed of a channeled piece of metal, the side walls of which form the bearings for the respective pins.
A stop at is secured to the lower face of the floor 15 and limits the movement of the plate 18. The lower end of the lever 21 is pivoted to a lever 25 by means of a pin 26 which is embraced by the side walls of the lever 21, the front face of this lever being cut out at the point 27 so that the lever 25 may be swung freely in the direction indicated by the arrow, but its movement is limited by abutting against the web of the lever. Also mounted on the pin 19 is a second pivoted floor 28 which is held in position by means of a plate 29, which is also provided with a strap 30, which embraces and has a sliding pivotal action in relation to a pin 31 extending across the box and mounted in the walls 5 and 6, this strap also embracing a pin 32 mounted in the yoked end of the lever 33. This lever is pivoted on a pin 34: and formed of channeled metal similar to the lever 21, and intermediate of its lower ends is pivoted a second lever 35, which is preferably curved as shown and is capable of swinging in the direction indicated by the arrow and dotted lines, but forms a stop in the reverse direction.
A web 36 extending from side to side in the box forms a stop to limit the forward movement of the plate 28 and from the lower edge of this stop a chute is formed through which coins are deposited within the chute 37 into the cgmpartment 38 in the cash drawer 39. This cash drawer has a plurality which 40 is secured adjacent to a stop 41, which extends into the line or plane occuof transverse walls, the rear of I.
pied by the pivoted levers 35 and 25. The chute 37 and the drawer 39 are adapted to be contained within a which the drawer 39 is slidably mounted, and in the operation of the device the coin is slipped from the plate 13 through the chutell in on tothe floor 15. Thedrawer is now open, the levers 2-5 and 35 both being tripped so that no change takes place in the coin receptacle. Upon returning the drawer the lever 35 is first engaged by the stop 41 which forces back the lower end of the lever 3i and throws the plate 29 from in contact with the plate 28 and permits the latter to fall to the position shown in Fig. 3, this action being resisted by the spring 42, which engages the two levers 33 and 21 being connected to the lever 33 above its pivot, and to the lever 21 below so that to hold the two movable floors in their ele vated position. As the drawer is pushed farther within the register it engages the lever 25, but not until the action of the spring has returned the lever 33 to its normal position lifting the plate 28 to its receiving position, and the lever 21 is forced to draw down the plate 18 permitting the floor 15 and the coin to drop as shown in Fig. 1. Bythis it will be noted that the first coin will be exposed until after a second transaction has been completed before beingdeposited within the coin pocket 38 which ordinarily allows ample time for any question raised as to the amount deposited,
and as the coin is frequently capsized inthe progress from the first chamber to the next lower it can be readily seen and counterfeits detected.
