Specification of Letters Patent, Patented June 41, 11918 Application filed August 25, 1917. Serial No. 188,213.

, To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THERON W. Dr Mo'1'r, a citizen of the United States, resldmg at Oxford, in the county of Marquette and State 61 Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vending- Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a coin controlled vending machine, and is particularly designed for the delivery of package articles. The primary object of the apparatus is to provide a machine so constructed as to 'prevent "defrauding the same by the insertion through the coin slot of tokens, washers, coins'of less than proper value and other articles, such articles being ejected from the coin slot before reaching the operating devices, or if through some mischance an article should pass to the operating devices, means are there provided to lock said devices and prevent movement thereof, and thus withhold the issuance of a package.

Another object of the invention is to provide manually operable-means for ejecting the packaged article, the operation of said means being controlled by the coin-operated means which looks the package. operating means against movement until the movement of the coin operating means has been,

completed, whereupon the former means may be operated to eject a single package and thenbe locked against other movement until the insertion in the machine of another coin of proper value.

A further object of the invention is to provide means for preventing the insertion within the machine of awire or other article to engage a package and cause the same to be withdrawn from the machine, all openings through the casing of the machine by which an object of any sort may be inserted being protected by covers, guards or shields soas to render it impossible to reach packages for the purpose of removing the same.

With the above as the principal objects in view and other objects to be set forth in detratedthe accompanying drawings, in.

Fig. 15 is a sectional view through the coin chute on the line 1515 of Fig. 4.

In the drawing 20 indicates the base of the machine which may be of wood or metal and to which is'secured vertical posts 21 extending upwardly from the top of the base-to support a horizontal platform 22 spaced a short. distance from the base as shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4. Covering the base and the platform 22 is a casing 23 comprising a back ings . vertical partition edges of the base and platform 22- Fin gers 3O riveted to the inner side of the front 27 at the bottom edge thereof engage openin the base 20 to prevent forcible separation between the base and the casing. A

31 is secured to the platform 22 and extends to the top of the casing and from the front to the rear thereof, di-

viding said easing into two substantially equal chambers 32 and 33. Fixed to the partition 31 at the top thereof and adjacent the front 'is a lock 34, by means of which the casing is secured moval and which will permit authorized persons to open the machine when necessary to renew the packages and remove the coins.

Screwed or otherwise fastened to the side of the partition 31 within the chamber 32- is a horizontal guide-way 35 that extends from the front substantially to the rear of the partition and within which is mounted the two members 36 and 37 of the coin slide. These two members are in horizontal alinement' and their adjacent ends contact when the slide is moved to operate the machine.

The contacting ends of the slides 36 and 37 are each provided with semi-circular concave depression 38 which, together form an opening of the exact size of the coin by which the machine is operated. Projecting laterally from the front end of slide member 36 is a pin 39, said pin extending through a slot 40 in the guide 35. By means of this pin the slide member 36- is manually operated and through the intervention of the coin the slide member 36 is caused to move along the guide 35 and deliver the coin into a'chute 41 to be conveyed to a suitable receptacle. At the side of the guide-35 is a horizontal push rod 42 mounted in brackets 43 projecting from said guide 35. This -push rod passes through the is fitted with a button or other finger piece 44 on the end which on being pressed inwardly by the finger moves the rod transversely of the machine, said rod being returned to normal position by springs45 and 46 hereinafter referred to. Depending from the under side of the pus rod 42 is a lug 47 having a perforation therethrough for the pin 39 so that as the push rod is moved longitudinally, the slide member 36 is also moved to operate the machine angle at its upper end against refront of the casing and 1 means of after a coin of proper value has been de- Fastened to the side of the partition 31v above the guide 35 is a coin chute 51, said chute extending downwardly first at an and then in a curved direction to the the guide 35 through which is formed for the passage of the coin. The coin chute is in the form of a flat tube, the opening therein beingof the exact dimensions of the diameter andthickness of the coin of the proper value for operating the machine, the lowerend of the coin. chute opening through the guide 3'5 immediately above the forward end of the: coin slide memtop of an opening her 37 so that when a coin is placed in the chute it drops into the guide 35 and comes to rest in front of the depression 38 in the slide member 37 and in rear, of the slide member 36. Through the front of the casing 26 opposite the entrance to the coin chute 51 is formed anopening that ispreferably covered by a plate 52 having a coin opening therethrough of the exact dimensions of the coin so that coins, tokens and other articles greater'diameter or thickness cannot be introduced into the coin chute. Articles of the. same or less diameter and of less thickness when inserted in the coin chute will fall through a slot 53 at the bottom of the chute, or if of iron or steel such as washers, these will be deflected and withdrawn from the chute by a magnet 54 secured to the partition ad acent the coin chute. The delivery chute 41'. extends downwardly and rear.- wardly through the partition 31 in rear of the outlet end ofthe coin chute 51, and when the coin slide is moved rearwardly with a coin of proper value therein, this coin will be delivered, as more fully described hereinaft'er to the coin delivery chute 41 at the end of. the coin slide movement, but if a coin or other article of smaller diameter and thickness,'escap ng the opening 53 and mag net 54, enters between the slide members, the

complete operation of the latter is prevented the depressions 38 in the slide members, the

pawl 55 .under tension of the spring 57 will enter the space between the slide member 37 and the coin as shown in Figs. 12 and 13 and engaging said coin will lock the slide and prevent further rearward movement thereof. Should the coinbe of proper diameter 'but thinner than the slide members, the pawl will not engage the coin which passes freely, but will engage the edge of thedepression 38 in slide member 36 which being thicker than the coinprojects beyond it, and stops furthermovement of said slide before it has completed the operation of unlocking the package delivery mechanism.

To prevent the return of the coin delivery slide after the coin has passed the detector pawl 55 and before it has reached the said chute 51,,means are provided which consist of a pawl 50 pivotally mounted on the partition 31, from, the free end of which pawl a lug 51 projects to bear upon the push rod 42. In the present instance, shown above the push rod, its ing held in contact with the push rod by gravity. At a suitable point in the top of the pushrod 42 is a notch 52 -with which the lug 51* is adapted to engage and prevent return of the push rod after thelatter has been moved inwardly sufficiently far to carr the coin beyond the'detector pawl-55.- A fixed to the side ofthe push rod 42 inwardly.

this pawl is finger '51 be,

. from the notch 52 vis a post 53 that rises above the push rod and has secured on its upper end a sprin finger '54 which curves downwardly and ears upon the push rod just forwardly of the notch 52 and serves,

upon return of the coin delivery slide, to

engage the lug 51 and lift the pawl 50 over the notch and so permit return of the coin slide to normal position.

The package ejecting mechanism is carried upon a rectangular frame 60 supported on the under side of the latform 22. in brackets 61 and loops 62. The frame may be made in any desirable manner and of any material but in the present instance, is shown as formed of two longitudinal'bars'63 and 64 connected together at their ends by transverse rods 65 and 66, said rods preferably, being circular in cross section. The bar 63 is shown supported on the brackets 61 while the rods 65 are slidably mounted in the loops 62 near the side of bar 64. The frame 60 is adapted to be moved in its support from one side of the machine to the other by means of a stem 67 attached to the frame and projecting horizontally through a slot 68 in the front of the casing 26. Each complete movement of the frame to the right or to the left results in'the ejection of a package meassi tive series of teeth and both s brackets 78.

a in

from the machine in a manner tobe described later.

On the under side or face of the bar 64 of the frame 60 are ratchet teeth 69 and 70, the groups of teeth etxending-from the respective cross rods 65 and 66 inwardly toward each other for a distance equal to or slightly greater than the length of movement of the frame 60. Pawls 71 and 72 are forced by springs 73 normally into engagement with said teeth, which, by the way, face in opposite directions, that is to say, one'set of teethsliding freely over the pawl when the frame is moved in one direction, while the other set of teeth is adapted to engage its pawl and prevent movement, unless the pawl is by some meansheld away from the teeth. This is to prevent reverse movement of the frame 60 before it has 'made a complete movement. The pawls 71 and 72 are pivotally mounted on brackets 74 and 75 fastened to the under side of the platform 22 and arein facing relation as shown. Below the series of ratchet teeth 69 and 70 are arranged two flat springs-76' and 77, the former extending longitudinally of the row of teeth 69, While the latter spring 77 is similarly disposed below the teeth 70. These springs are spaced at their inner ends, or ends nearest the center of the bar 64, a short distance below the inner ends of the respec-.

prings are connected to the bar at these inner ends by The opposite or outer ends of the springs curve upwardly toward the'ba'r" 64 and bear with spring pressure thereon, the length of these springs being such that when the frame 60 is moved its full distance of movement to either side of the machine, the spring on the opposite side of the frame will have passed inwardly beyond the operating end of the pawl of the same side 'so that upon reverse movement of theframe 60,. the end of saidspring incontact with the bar 64 will engage and depress the pawl and hold it away from the teeth on thebar64. This is necessary as the teeth face toward the pawl and would engage therewith and preformed two groups of posite sides of the partition 31, while the remaining two notches'i 81 and 82 will be brought to the same positions when the frame 60 is pushed to its limit of movementat the opposite side of the machine. The

object of these notches is to lock the packa go side of the partition as the push rod 42, the

upper end of said arm being broadened and held in contact, by the spring 45, with the inner endof the push rod 42. The lower end of the lever 83 is connected by a link 84 wit-h one arm of a bell-crank lever 85 piv-. otedat 86 to the partition 31. The other arm of the bell-crank lever 85 is pivotally connected to a vertically movable dog- 87 slidable through an opening in the platform 22, its lower end enterin for a suitable distance, one or the other of the notches 79 and 81. When the vending machine is at rest,

. the dog 87 is in elevated position and withdrawn from locking engagement with either cooperating notch in the frame 60 but when the'push rod 42 is forced inwardly, its inner end rocks the lever 83 and through the connections described, the dog will be forced downwardly and engages one or the other of notches 79 or 81. On the opposite side of the partition 31, is a second dog 88 parallel to the dog 87 and also movable vertically through an opening in the platform 22. The upper end of the dog 88 is connected by a vertical link 89 to a horizontal lever90, pivotally mounted intermediate its ends to the partition 31. A second link 91 connects the opposlte end of the link 90 with a horizontal arm 92 fixed on a shaft 93 passing throu h the vertical partition 31 to the opposite si e,

-' where it is provided with a depending arm 94, the lower end of which is broadened and lies in the line of movement of the push rod 42' and is operable by said rod to rock the shaft 93. A spring 95 is connected to the arm 92 and acting through the links and levers described, tends to hold the dog 88 in locking engagement with one or the other of the notches 80 or 82 in the frame 60.

The mechanism described for maintaining the package slide immovable and preventing the same from being actuated-to cause packages to issue from the casing, is looked under normal conditions so that said package slide cannot be moved except when a coin of proper value has been placed in the chute 51. This locking means 1 comprises the dogs 87 and 88, one or'the other of which is in engagement with the'notches 7980 or 8182. Normally, or when the machine is at rest, the dog 88 is forced to its lowermost position by the spring 95, so that its lower end will interlock with thenotch 80 or 82, while the dog 87 will be in elevated position. When, however, the coin of proper value has been placed in the coin chute, and the push rod 42 moved inwardly, the first operation will be to swing the lever 83 on its pivot and through the connections 84, 85, depress the dog87- into the notch 79 or 81. The rod 42 at the end of its movement engages the lever 94 and swinging it toward the back of the casin will through the shaft 93, rock the series 0 levers 92 and 90 and raise the dog 88 from the notch in the package slide. When the dog has been drawn out of engagement with the notch, a bolt 96,

(see Fig. 10), mounted on the platform 22 is forced by a spring-96 into engagement with a notch -88 in the dog 88 to hold the same in elevated position until the package has been delivered. \The bolt 96 is pivoted on one end of a rocking lever 97 fulcrumed at its other end at 98 to the platform. From this. lever links extend in opposite directions, one of which links 99 is connected loosely to one end of a lever 100, that is centrally pivoted to the platform, it opposite end extendin a short distance beyond its pivot and being engaged by the hooked end of a shortwire 101 that extends back toward the lever 97 and engages a trigger 102 adapted to be operated by the transverse rods 65, 66

in the opposite direction by the reverse movement of the package slide, it will not rock the lever 100, and so, disturb the bolt 96, but will press upon a spring 103 which will return the parts to position when the package slide has moved out of range there of. On the other side of the lever 97 is a link 104 that through several connections shown, is engaged with a lever 105 similar to the lever 100, and similarly operated so that whenever the package slide is moved to one end orthe other of the casing, this system of levers will be operated and the bolt 96 withdrawn from engagement with the dog 88.

In the operation of this machine, when a coin is placed in the coin chute 51-, it passes down said chute if of proper value and enters the space 38 between the slides 36 and 37. If the coin is too small in any way or made of iron, it will either drop out of the bottom of the coin chute through slot 53 or be attracted by the magnet 54, or if it passes said slot and the magnet, enters between the slides. 36 and. 37, the machine will fail to completely operate, while if said coin is moved alon the guide 35 by the rod 42 distance, thedog 55 at the mouth age slide will remain locked. If the coin be of proper value and size, the two slides W111 move easily in an endwise direction, the

rod 42 first swinging the lever 83, which lies against its end and holding it inclined, pushes the dog 87 into one of the notches in the top of the package slide and holds it thus engaged. Further movement ofthe rod will bring its end into engagement with the secured in any suitable manner to the'verticalpartition 31.v Upon releasing the rod 42,'the springs and 46 acting indirectly thereon will return the rodto normal position. -'The lever 83 during the movement of the rod 42 has been held by said rod in position to force the dog 87 7 into one of the notches 7 9 or 81 in the package slide to pre ,vent movement thereof during the disengagement of the dog 88, but as soon as the rod returns tonormal position, the lever 83 is released and through the spring 45 is drawntoverticalposition, the connections of said lever raising'the dog 87'from en-' gagement with the notch in the package slide. Both dogs 87, 88 being now elevated,

the package shde' is released and may be -moved to one side-or the other of the casing grasping the handle. 67 and giving it as lght push in the direction required. Each movement of the ackage slide will withdraw a package 0 the-article to be dispensed from alternatesides of the casing, these packages being stored in vertical boxes 1'07 that extend from the top of the casing to the bottom, there being aft-opening on 'the facing sides of said boxes for the packages to pass through.

The package slide, 60 has two upi-ightfin gers 108 in line with the inner sides of the boxes 107" and two spring hinged fingers 109 immediately below the outer sides of the box. Between these "fingers, the packages fall when the slide passes under the box and when the slide is away from the box the package will rest upon the top of the platform 22, the spring finger turning down to pass under the package and get behind the same ,as the slide 60 is moved toward that end or side of the machine. The movement of the package slide grips the said package between the fingers 108 and 109 of the respective sides and carrying the same toward the center of the, machine finally permits it to drop therebetween onto an inclined, trough 110 down which it slides to the front of the machine .below the handle 67, within easy reach of the purchaser. The movement of the package carrier to deliver the purchased package requires the movement of said carrier to'the .opposite end of the machine.

This movement will bring one or the other of the, transverse rods 65, 66 at the end of the carrier into engagement with one or the other of the triggers 102 and rocking said triggerywill pull the rod 101 and through connection'with the lever 97 cause the latter to move in a direction that will withdraw the bolt 96 fromthe notclr in the dog 88, permitting the latter to drop and when the notch or 82 is in line with said dog, the latter enters and-prevents further movement of the package delivery slide until another coin has been deposited.
