Y ln the drawings 20 designates the vertical coin holding tubes varying in diameter in accordance with the denominations of the coins to be placed in them, asA usual, 21 the coin-tube base-plate to which the lower ends of the tubes are connected, 22 the top or cover plate extending over and engaging the upper ends of said tubes, 23 a bottom plate spaced below said base plate 21 and Supporting on its upper ace the coin-.de livery rings, 241 vertical end plates and 25 a hinged'bacl; or door.

The base-plate 21 is separately shown in Fig. 12 and is in one integral piece of sheet metal and formed with openings 26 for the lower ends of the tubes'20 and around said openings with upwardly pressed annular Vflanges 27 having at their upper edges inwardly turned flanges 2S containing equally spaced apart edge recesses 29.

The base-plate 21 is formed at its ends with up-turnetl'tianges 30 havingat their rear edges vertical sleeves 31 and with downwardly and inwardly turned hoolr-lile flanges 32 which Vextend below and aid in supporting and positioning` the bottom plate 23 (Fig. 7). The plate 21 is also formed witha front downwardly extending flange 33 which h as inturned flanges 34e extending below and aiding in the support of the bottom plate 23 (Figs. 7 and 111). The plate 21 has slit therefrom and turned upwardly the vertical corresponding standards Se' whose formation leaves holes 35 in the plate, and from these holes narrow recesses 36 extend forwardly; a similar narrow recess 253.6 is also provided outside o't the holes 35 (Figs. 10, 12). At its rear edge the plate 21 is formed with the incut recesses 37. In its rear portion and about in line with the standards 34e, the plate 21 is formed with tour properly spaced-apart holes 38, whose purpose will be explained hereinafter. The flanges and standards 34 of the plate 21 Ventend along a curved line corresponding with the general curved shape of the rear edge of the plate and tace one another in series, and the upper ends of these flanges and standards arel formed with holes 39 which receive a pivot rod t() whose ends are within the holes in the flanges 30 and do not require to be riveted therein since the rod is held against endwise movement by other features of the structure, as will be explained hereinafter.

rlhe tubes or cylinders 2() are formed from initially flat blanks or' sheet metal and are each in one piece of material bent into tubular form, the material being cut out at opposite edges to leave sightopenings or slots Ll-l in the front of the tubes (Figs. 14, 1S). The lower ends oit the tubes 2() interlock, after the manner of bayonet joints, with the flanges 28 of the plate 21, and to this end each tube 20 is near its lower end formed with two annular parallel rows of spacedapart outwardly pressed lugs 4t2, a3, respectively, the lugs 42 being otsct from the vertical planes oit' and smaller than the lugs 4P and adapted to be inserted downwardly through the recesses 29 in the flange 28 and until the lugs 43 become arrested on the top of said flange, whereupon by giving the tube a partial turn the lugs Ll2 are farried from the line of the said recesses 29 and below solid portions ot the flange 28, the tube thereby becoming locked in position and supported by the lugs il?) and tlange 2S over an opening 2G in the plate 21; a reverse operation will permit the withdrawal ot the tube from the plate 2l. lVhcn the tubes 2O are secured to the tlaiiges 25% ot the plate 21 the lugs 13, being longer than the lugs 42, cover over and conceal the recesses 29 in said tianges.

The upper ends ot the tubes 2O are held stationary by the top plate 22 which is formed with upwardly recessed caps tt titting upon the upper ends ot the tubes and provided with openings through which coins are introduced into said tubes. '.lho top plate is formed along its front edge with a hollow beading ttl which orcrhangs and protects the upper ends ot the tubes 20 and also receives outwardly pressed lugs 1-7 formed on the upper trout portions ot said tubes, the lower flange ol said heading closely engaging the lower edges ot .said lugs 17 and cooperating therewith iu holding the front portion ot the plate 22 down on the tubes.

The bottom plate matches thc general outline of the tube base-plate 2l and is spaced suliiciently below the same to provide a shallow chamber for the oscillatory coin deliveryrings 48 which are mounted on said plate 23. The plate 23 is separately shown in Fig. 13, and said plate is tornicd with coin-discharge openings 49 and also with a series of upwardly pressed bushings 50 which when the parts are assembled cugage the lower surface of the base-plate 21 and accurately space the plates 2l, 23 apart to form said chamber for the rings 4S. The bottom-plate 23 is formed with a series of four holes 51 in vertical alignment with the four holes 38 in the base-plate 21, and also with tour slots 52 which are in vertical alignment with the four slots or recesses 36 in said base-plate 21. The holes 51 hzwe llt) ll l) CTI at their edges downwardly pressed flanges or bushings 53 (Figs. 7 and 16) which afford substantial bearings for the lower ends of the stems 54 of the one-tooth pinions 55, and the slots 52 have the metal of the plate at their opposite edges pressed downwardly to form side flanges 56, (Figs. 7, 11 and 15) for the lower ends of the legs 57 of the manually operative liey-frames 58, which legs 57 extend downwardly7 through said slots or recesses 36 in the plate 21 and through'said slots 52 in the `plate 23 and in operation have an oscillatory movement therein and are guided thereby, the forward ends of the slots or recesses 36 forming stops to limit the movement of said legs 57 and consequently the hey-frames 58 and their parts in a forward direction.

The lbotto-m plate 23 is formed at its rear edge with four rearwardly projecting lugs 59 which are wider at their outer than at their inner ends and in the assembled mechanism are directly below the recesses 37 in the base-plate 21. rlhe lugs 59 detachably receive the lower ends of the coiled springs 60 which extend through the said recesses 37 and are detachably caught at their Lipper ends on lugs 61 formed on the aforesaid key-frames 58. rEhe springs 60 are vertically disposed and are under tension and normally act to pull downwardly on the rear ends of the frames 58 and tilt the legs 57 thereof forwardly against the forward ends of the recesses or slots 36 (Figs. 8 and 11) which ends serve as stops, as aforesaid, to arrest the legs 57 and frames 58 in normal position.

The bottom plate 23 is 'formed at its two rear lcorners with holes 62 (Fig. 13) which in the final assembly of the parts of the mechanism are below and in vertical line with the sleeves 91 on the plate 21; bolts pays through the holes 62 and sleeves 31, as hereinafter explained.

Upon the bottom plate 23 are, in the present instance, there being four coin-tubes 20 present, four oscillatory coindelivery ring 48, all being alike except as to proportions and one being provided for each tube 2l). @ne of the rings 48 is shown separately in Fig. 4. Each ring 48 has a lip 64 and shank-arm 65 in whose outer end is a polygonal slot or hole 66 and upon whose upper side is pressed up boss or rib 67. rEhe` rings 48 vary in thickness in accordance with the thickness of the coins they are intended to handle and the bosses or ribs 67 will vary in height from the arms in accordance with the thickness of the rings so that the upper edges of all said bosses or ribs may he on the same horizontal Vplane and freely engage the lower surface of the base-plate 21, thebosses or ribs 67 thus cooperating with the plate 21 to keep the rings 48 flatwise upon the plate 23. Each ring 48 and all its parts is in one integral piece of sheet metal. The polygonal slots or holes 66 in the arms 65 of the rings 48 receive the lower polygonal ench of the stems of the one-tooth pinion 55 (F ig. 16) and the rings 48 receive theii movements from said stems and pinions, said stems and pinions being turned in one direction by the manual action of the opel ator when coins are to be delivered, as here-- inafter explained, and in the reverse direction to restore the rings to normal position, by the springs 60. The stems 54 have polygonal lower ends to snugly lill the polygonal slots 66 in the ring-arms 65, and below said arms said ends of the stems enter and liud a substantial bearing in the flanged holes 51 of the bottom plate 23 (Figs. 7 and 16). Above the ring-arms the stems 54 have round hub-portions 68 (F ig. 16) which lie within the bearing holes 38 in the base-plate 21 and within holes in the washers 69 which rest upon the top of said plate 21 and are below the horizontal pinion members 55 from whose inner ends said stems 54 pro-ject downwardly. The pinion members 55 servo as cranks from which the stems 54 are turned and which cause the stems to impart the proper oscillatory movements tothe coin delivery rings 48.

The pinion members 55 are elongated and each is formed on its upper surface with a rib whose cross-section is that of the tooth o-f a pinion, and hence the member 55 designated by me as; a one-tootl1 pinion. rlhe pinion member 55 receives its oscillatory movement from the hey-frame 58, which is in one piece of sheet metal and of box-like formation and has at its rear edge the springdug 61'and at its forward edge a forwaroly projecting lever arm 7() whose forward end has a finger or thumb-iiiece 7l. At one side edge the metalv of the key-frame is bent downwardly and cut to form a slot 72 and the aforesaid leg 57, and at its other side edge is bent downwardly and cut to form the slot 73 and legs 74 whose lower inner edges straddle and engage the tooth of the pinion 55 (Figs. 3, 9,16, 16) and serve as teeth cooperating tlerewith. The lrey-frames 58 are pivotally mounted upon the rod 40, the slots 72 and 73 of said frames being slipped downwardly upon sait rod and said frames at the upper endsV of said slots being pivots-ily supported by said rod, and said frames are so positioned on the rod 40 that their legs 57 extend downwardly through the slots 36, 52, respectively, of the. base plat-e 2l and bottom plate 23, that their legs 74 straddle the tooth of the pinions 55 and that their lever arms 7 0 extend forwardly at the sides of the tubes 20. After the frames 58 have vl l. t)

been positioned on the rod the coiled springs .60 are applied to the lugs 59 of the bottom plate. 23 and the lugs 61 of said frames 58, and these springs being then under tension act to press the legs 57 of the frames 58 against their stops at the forward ends of the recesses or stops 36 in the plate 21. rit this time should a thumb-piece 71 of a frame 58 be pressed downwardly, the frame will tilt forwardly in opposition to the stress of the spring 69 and the legs 57, 74 will lbe swung rearwardly, the leg 57 leaving its stop at the end of the slot 36, as shown in Fig. 9, and the legs 74 acting against the pinion to turn its stem and therethrough cause the coin-ring 48 connected therewith to swing forwardly from below a coin-tube 20 and carry a coin to an opening 49 in the bottom plate 23, said coin falling through said opening into the hand of theoperator. As soon as pressure is released from the thumb-piece 71, the spring .will restore the key-frame 58 and its connected parts, including the coin-ring, to initial position. I utilize the legs 57 as means for preventing undue forward tilting of the key-frames 58 by causing said legs to engage the rear edge of the openings 35 in Vthe base-plate 21 (Fig. 9). The legs 57 perform no duty other than to limit the movements of the tiltable frames 58. All of the frames 58 are alike and all operate similar mechanisms for the respective tubes 20.

The side plates 24 have at their rear edges, vertical sleeves 75, 7 6, 77 (Fig. 17), at their lower edges inwardly curled flanges or beadings 78 and at their front edges inwardly .curled beadings or flanges 79, 8O which finish and strengthen said front edges. The sleeves 75, 7G, 78 are in line with the sleeves 31 of the base-plate 21 and receive the bolts or rods 63 whose upper ends are headed and engage the top or cover plate 22 and whose lower ends extend through the holes 62 of the bottom plate 23 and receive nuts, as shown in Fig. 7. The bolts or rods 63 thus serve to secure the plates 21, 22, 23 and sides 24 in assembled relation. The flanges 78 on the lower edges of the sides 24 hook under the bottom plate 23 and serve as legs for the device and also as supporting means for the bottom plate 23 and its connected p parts. The flanges 8O of thel sides 24 extend around the front edges of the vertical flanges 30 on the base-plate 21, as shown in Fig. 10, and thereby the forward edges of said sides 24 are retained in position. The sides 24 lie against the outer faces of the flanges 30 and in this position serve to prevent endwise movement of the pivot rod 40.

The back plate or door 25 is a metal plate having a sleeve 81 at one edge through which the bolt 63 at that portion of the tlvice passes and thereby hinges said plate 25 to the device. The sleeve 81 tits between the facing ends of the sleeves 75, 7 (i of the adjacent side plate 24, as shown at the right hand side of Fig. 2. At the edge of the back plate or door 25 opposite to the sleeve 81 is a spring snap loop 82 (Figs. G and 14) to engage one of the rods 63 and latch the door or plate in closed position.

The back plate or door 25 has at its upper edge a forwardly curled beading 83 which when the plate or door is in closed position extends over the rear edge of the cover-plate 22 (Figs. 1 and 14), and said plate or door 25 has at its lower edge a forwardly curled beading 84 which extends under the rear edge of the bottom plate 23 (Figs. 7 and 14) and serves as a support therefor and also as a leg for the device when the device is placed on a table or other surface. The beading 84 and side flanges 78 cooperate as supporting legs.

The back plate or door 25 is strengthened by being longitudinally corrugated, as at 85.

I equip the device with. suitable hooks 8f t'o be caught upon a belt or the like, and these hooks are shown as swiveled on the sleeves of the side plates 24.

It is believed that the construction and operation of the mechanism constituting my coin-holding and delivering device will be fully understood from the foregoing detailed description. I desire, however, to call attention to several advantages which are accomplished by the structural features of the device. In the first place I call attention to the fact that all the parts of the mechanism are, in the main, produced by dies and hence are accurate and capable of ready assembly, and further it is to be noted that the parts of the device are assembled without the use of solder, rivets or the like., the two bolts or rods 63 serving to secure the parts together after their assembly. The hinged back plate or door 25 when closed conceals the entire back of the device and when opened exposes the mechanism for such attention as it may require. For illustration, if the, delivery mechanism for any one tube 20 should re quire repair or renewal, the spring 60 there-A for may be unhoolred from the studs 59, (il and removed, and then the key-frame 58 may be lifted from the rod 40, leaving the pinion 55, with its stem 54, free to be lifted. from the base-plate 21 and the ring 4.8 free to be slid rearwardly out from between the plates 21, 23. Any of the parts thus detached may be repaired or a new part may be substituted for a broken part, and thel mechanism may by a reverse order of procedure be restored to operative position. The mechanism has been constructed with the view of enabling the device to withstand rough us age but in the event of impairment of any loo lllf) lll) llli
