T0 all whom t may concern.' Be it known that I, DANniL L.. CHANDL, a citizen of the United States, residing. at Boston, in thecounty of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Coin-Operated Vending Machines, of which the following is a speciiication. i This invention relates to a coin operated vending machine. The object ofthe invention is to provide a coin operated vending machinewh'ich, under certain conditions, Will operate as fol"- lows: Y A y (l) Vhen the correct coin is deposited in the machine and anarticle is iii-position ready for delivery, the machine will operate to deposit the coin in thev machine, prefer ably ina suitablereceptacle therefor, and Y will deliver the article to the` operator of the machine.

(2) When no coin is deposited in the machine and there is Aan Varticle in positionv ready for delivery, the machine maybe op-v erated from the outside by the operator but no articlel will be delivered.

(3) When the correct coin, that is, a coin of predetermined dimensions is deposited in the machine, and thereis no article positioned ready for delivery, then the coin' will be returned to the operator.'

(il) When a coin, or slug, of dimensions machine and there is noqarticle positioned ready Yfor delivery, then said coin will be returnedto the operator.'

It hasl been found when machines of this character are placed upon. the market, that material other thanV co1n"ssu'ch .as paper,

paraimchewing gum, tooth picks, matches.

etc., have been put into the coin slot andforcedv down intothe machinethus rendering the machine either inoperativeor else ci.usingA the machine to be so tampered with that the articles caribe fed one by oneout of the machineavithout. anyfcoin being in'- troduced into themachine. It is one of the objectsof this invention, in the..event of any material other .than the correct coin, Whether it-.be a slug. or acoin which is not intended to be used in the ma'- chine, forinstance, a ten. cent piece, where the machine is designedto be operated by a penny, to positively eject said. material from the coin slot of the operatingmechanism so that the mechanism' shall not be rendered inoperativeand sothat-the machine cannot be ,operated .to deliver the articles without theproper recompense therefor.v i .i

. Theinventioii consists in theimproved mechanism whereby. the .objects hereinbefore set forth are accomplished and particularly in the combination of elementsset! fortlrin the claims, one of the :novel features. of the invention being` embodied inl a rotary' coin holder whichrotates in one directi'on'to de# posit the coin inthe machinev when the article is ready for. delivery andlwhen the coin' is of a predetermined size, andfwhich rotates in the opposite direction andejects the'coin .Y from the machine in the event that the 'coin' is not of a.predeterminedsize, or linrtlieevent` that anarticle is notready' fordelivery, and" furthermore, the coin holder will be rotated and moved in said opposite direction to eject' any foreignA material therefrom .andsuch foreign material will bepositivel'y'f ejected from the coin holder. v

side of the top 19. `A spring 25 rotates `The shaft 23 Vis provided with a pawl and ratchet mechanism which insures the forward movement of theprimary slide being lcontinued to itsy end after it has once been Y started, and also insures the rearward movement of the slide being carried to its Vend when it has once been started. This pawl and ratchet mechanism consists, see Figs. V4 and 5, offa ratchet 26 fast to the shaft 23 and adapted to be engaged by a pawl 27 pivotally mounted on a stud 28 which is fastto a bracket 29 depending from the top 19 of the machine. S

Y A spring 30is connected at one end to; fthe pawl 27-and-at the other end to apin Y 31 fast to the top of the machine.y ratchet 26`is provide-d with two oppositely disposed notches32 and 33`aiid Vwith a tooth segment 34, and. when the operator starts the machine by pulling the handle 22 to- Y Y y wards the `front thereof` the teeth Vof the ysegment*` 34 will rotate in the direction of Vthe* arrow a and be engaged by the swinging-pawl 27 whichwi'lli prevent the ratchet 26S/from being moved in the opposite direc-` tion until the pawl enters the notch 32. then *when the direction of rotation of the ratchet Y j fof vthe arrow a until 26 vis reversed,the pawl 27 will be tipped in vthe opposite direction and will engage :the

teeth ofl-the segment 34 .to'prevent the ratchet from being rotated` in the direction the vpawl Vagain enters the notchif33. v-

The .j

The inner end of the shaft 23 has a crank arm 35 fast thereto which is provided with a `i crank Vpin 36 entering a` verticalslot 37 yfin the front end of the primary slidef2t), so that when the shaft 23 isrocked bythe handle 22V and by the spring 25 alternately in opposite directions, the primary slide20 will be moved forwardly or rearwardly sliding. in ways 38 provided therefor in the top 19. ,Y f 1 .Vhenin itsl normal position the rear end of the slide 20 abuts against a stop plate 39 fast to the underside `of the top 19,'as'inf Figs. 2, 5 and 6. a f i The present embodiment of my invention is illustrated as particularly'adapted tof contain and feed spherical articles'siich as balls of chewing gum, andthemagazine 16 is'.v

provided with a base40 which forms a part of the top 19 and in this'ba'se is 'a recessedy portion 41 with inclined faces 42 operating to guide the balls of 4gum-,into a tubular receptacle `43 projecting downwardly from the underside ofthe primary `slide 20 and forming a part thereof." Vertical pins-44 are fastened to the primary slide 20l and project upwardly yintothe @magazine A16 and Y Y intothe recess-ed portion 4];of the base of said magazine, soA that as the primary slide 20 is movedforwardlyand backwai'dly the pins 44 will agitate the articles in the magazine l5 and facilitate the feeding of Vthe y same into the receptacle 43. ,I

The top 19 is provided with Aanbrificfe 45 preferably having inclined sides 4.64,' which opens into a slot 47 provided in therprimary slide 20, and in this slot is rotatably mounted a coin holder 48 which 'is fastfto` a rock" shaft 49, Figs.'2, 3 and 5,r rotatably mounted I upon the slide 20. `The shaft 49,has fastg' ened at one end thereof la bevel lgear 5()V which meshes into 4another bevel gear .'51 rotatably mounted upon a stud 51"]tast to the primary slide .20.'A The rotary coin vholder 48 has a recess 52 adapted toreceive a coin 53- and another-recess V54 provided toy enablethe coin"holder l48 to clear the sta-V tionary ejector63 when,`after'thefcoinholder has been partially rotatedy in thefdire'ction vof the arrow c, Fig. 3, 4it is vmoved forwardly and the stationary ejector 65A enters the coin recess52,and to enable lthe coin holder 48 to' clear the ejector 65Vwhen, after the coin-V holder?v has been partially rotated in thedirection ofthe arrow b, Fig. 3, itis moved forwardly and the ejector 63 enters the coin recess V52.` The rotarycoinf holder 48 is rocked in one direction or another,"that-is,r

referring to Fig.l 3, it is .rocked toward the left to ,deposit the coiny 53 in' the coin? re'` Vceptac'leA 17 when: thecoin iis ofthefrightsize, that -isof Lpredetermined dimensions,

andsaid coin member is rocked toward the if right Fig. 3 vto deposit a slug .orf anythingl which is nota coin Aof predetermined diinen' sions, upon a chute 55 hvhich is inclined downwardly and leads through all opening 56 into the receptacle 18. The gear 51 is rocked in one direction or the other for the purposes hereinbefore set forth, by a bell crank lever 57 which is fastened thereto and has two arms 58 and 59. The arm 58 has an upwardly projecting lug 60 thereon and the arm 59 has an upwardy projecting lug 61 thereon. I

Then the slide 20 isgmoved forwardly and there is an article in the receptacle 4.3 ready to be delivered and there is also a coin 53 of predetermined size positioned in vthe recess 52 in the rotary coin holder 48, thenthe lug 60 will engage a stop 62 on the frame of the machine when the slide 2O arrives at its forward position and this will rotate the gear 51, thus rotating the gear and its shaft 49 in the direction of the arrow o, Fig. 3, and the coin 53 will then be ejected from the notch 52 and dropped into the receptacle 17. The coin 53 is ejected from the recess l52 when theprimary slide 2O is moved forwardly, by an ejector plate 63 which is fastened to a bracket 64 fast to the frame of the machine and which projects vinto the recess 52 and forces anything that may be therein out of'said recess, for example, if the coin 53 has been placed in the recess and isheld therein so that it would ,not fall out by gravity and enter the receptacle 17, it will be positively forced out'by the stationary ejector 63. A ny other material or article or slug which may be in the notch 52 will be rotated by the coin holder 58 in the direction of the arrow o, Fig. 3, and forced out of the notch 52 by an ejector plate 65 which is also fastened to the bracket 64. Afguide plate 66, Fig. 8, which is fastened to and projects downwardly from the slide 20serves to prevent any articles ejected from the coin holder 48, when the coin holder is rotated in the direction of the` arrow 5,'-from entering the chute L and also serves to prevent anything which is ejected from the recess 52, when the coin holder 48 rota-tes in the direction `of the. arrow c, j from entering the coin recepta-` cle 17. 4

It will be understood that the `coin holder 48 therefore, is rotated in the direction of the arrow b when the article is being delivered to the operator and when the coin is of the right size, and it is rotated in the direction of the arro'w c when any other combination of circumstances, as set 'forth in paragraphs (2), (4) and (5), occurs` and this opposite yrotation of the coin holder is obtained by the following instrumentalities :-'As previously described, if the coin is correct and the article is ready for deliv# ery, .then the lug engages the lug 62 and rocks thehell-crank lever 57 to rock the coin holder 48 in the direction of the arrow Z) and the coin is deposited in the receptacle 17,

and when the primary slide 20' returns to its normal position, the lug '60 will encounter another stop 67 on theframe cf `the machine and this will return the bell crank lever. the gears 5() and 51 andthe coin holder to their original and-normal positions.

In causing the coin member to rotate tcdimensions is deposited Iin the recess 52 and the article detecter finger tooperate when no article is present. For deliveryinto the receptacle 18 there must be a combination of the two, that is, a correct sized coin and an article ready for delivery. in order to secureV the delivery of the article to the voperator.

The detecter Finger 68 .is pivoted at 70 'to the primary slide 20 and the detecter finger 69 is pivoted at 7'1 to an `arni7 2 fast to 4the primary lslide 20, so that both of the vdetecter fingers are pivoted to the primary slide 2O and always move forwardly and backwardly with it. The detecter finger 68 is provided with an arm 73 which projects' into a slot 74 in the primary slide 20 and V1located in front of the coin slotr 47. A spring 75v operates the detecter finger 68 to move the end of the arm 73 against the 'coin orother article that may be in thecoin slot,'tha.tuis', the spring 75 acts to move the arm in'- wardly with relation to the coin slot. On its forward end the detecter finger 68 is .provided with an upwardly projecting lug 76 which engages the edge of a canrp'late 77,

Fig. 5. When a coin 4of the proper dimensions is located in the coinrecess then the 4lug 76, as the primary slide is moved lforward, will clear the right hand end .of an arm 78, Fig. 5, but if there is no coin `in the coin slot,'then the detecter finger .68 will be moved v.by the spring 75 so as to engage a tooth 79 provided at the'righthandend or the arnr'7 8, Fig; The arm 7 8 is fastened to the secondary slide 80 which is guided to slide in ways on the underside of the .top of the 'machine and said slide 80 has yan ear 81 thereon, s ee Fig. 7, which when the slide 8O is moved forwardly, or inthe direction of the arrow d, Fig. 7, will :engage .an ear 82 projecting laterally from aI movable stop 83 pivotedat 84 to the top 19 and as the slide 80 is vmoved forward by the slide 2O and 4coin detecter fin'ger`68, vv'the movable stop 83 will be rocked rdownwardly from 'the vpositions Aillustrated in Fig. 7 to that .illustrated 'rn Fig. 8 and thus willbring the ear82 into the path of the lug 61 on the 'bell crank Llever 57 and as the pri-mary slide is moved for- 'wardly the lug 61 williengage the movable forward movement of the slide whatever foreign material may be located. in the rre.-

vcess 52 of the coin holder 48 will be positivelv ejected by engaging the ejector plate 65. `Thus itwill be seen that if anything other than a correct coin is deposited ,in the f it to the operator.

f ly projecting lug 96, FigQ-, is secured on recess 52 ofthe coin holder 48, the saine will be ejected from the machine. If,however, a correct com 1s deposited in the recess 52 and there isno article to be delivered to. the operator, then the machine must operate to eject the coin Vfrom the machine and return To secure this result the secondary slide is moved forwardly, as yhereinbefore described, in order to bring the ear 82 into alignment with the lug 6l on the'bell crank lever 57, when there'is no article 14 in the receptacle 43, by Vthe article detecter finger whichhas an arm which projects into the receptacle 43 through a slot'V 86 and is moved toward the article therein by a spring 87. The Varticle detecter finger (S9-has a lug 88 projecting upwardly therefrom and bearing against the edge of a cam plate V89. If there is no article inthe receptaclef43 then the' arm 85 is carried into the receptacle and thedetecter finger v69 is swung in the direction of the arrow f, Fig. 5, to a sufficient distance so that an upwardly projectingy ear on said detecter finger 69 will-engage `a downwardly projecting lug 91 on the secondary slidef80 as the primary slide 2O is movedforwardly. ,This willcause the slide 8O to be moved Aforwardly and will operate as hereinbefore described to cause the ear 81 on said slide80 to engage the ear 82 andmove-it downwardlyinto the path of the lug 61, lon the bellfcrank lever 57 ,with -the result.y that thegears 51 and 50 will beoperated torotate the coin holder r`48'in the direction-of the arrowc 'and thus cause the coin 53Jto be deposited inlthe chute 55l whence itwill roll down into the receptacle 18, so thatfthe operator `can-obtain his coin back because he has not obtainedjany article. A lateral` thel under vside of the secondary slide 80` at one end thereof, and' when the `prima-ry slide 20 is returned to normal position by the spring 25, the secondary slide 8O is returned to normal position by a lug 72 -sef curedon the under side of the primary slide, which 'engages the lug 96 and movesjthe secondary slide *rearwardlyV When the slide 80A nieves. backwardly togetherfwith the primary slide 20, anv ear 92 thereon will l Y engage the stop 83] and move it back from the position illustrated inFig'.l 8 to that illustrated in Fig.A 7 where it will be out of the path of lever57. Y i j When there is an article14 lin the re-` ceptacle 43 and the slide20 is movedfor `wardly, the arm 85 on the article'detecter finger 69 will be movedv inwardly by the spring 87 untilit engages said article and the detecter finger will be allowed to be so moved by the lug. 88 thereon moving into the recessed portion 93 of the cam plate 89, and the edge ofthis camfplate with which the lug 88 contactsv is so formed as to allow the arm 85 ofthe detecter iinger69 to en y'the lug 61 on thefbell crank gage the articlejl4as the slide 20 is moved Y forwardly, vuntil the j receptacle tube l43 comes into alignment with and above a shelf 94, Fig. 2, whereupon the article detecter finger is moved `by thekcam 89 out of engagement with Vthe article and thefarticle drops downwardly on to the shelf'94. Upon the return movement Yof.V the slide 20 Vthe article is pushed off of the shelf94, dropped `on to the chute 55 and rolls downwardlyl into the receptacle 1,8.` If, however, the aux;` iliary slide 80 yis also Inovedforwardly by.y either. of the detecter-fingers 68 `o'r 69,` as hereinbeforeV described, then a plate 95.0n a downwardly projecting arm96 fast to said secondary slide 80gw111 move forwardly with said slide and asV it projects into and i across the receptacle 43, the articlejl4l will not `be allowedto drOp down on to thershelfl 94, Ybut will return withtheslides 20.-and

l80 tothe position illustratedlin Fig,2fand to the operator of the. machine; n

It will be understood that thestops62 and 67 jconstitutestationary contacts 3l that the lugs 60, 61 andear 82ers movable contacts, andpthat the lug 6lfabuts againsta stationary vlug i' 82 constituting 'ai rstationary cmtact when the slide 20V is returning -to its normal position as illustrated in Fig. 6, whereby the bell crank lever 57 is rotated in that case the article will not be delivered to assume its normal position and thereby 1g l Y thejgears'O and51 and the jcoin holderv 48 are rotated to assume their'normal posit tions. The seconda-ry slide 80 islheld .it maybe moved, -by a spring 97 vfast .to the top 19 and having an arm 98 thereon which bears againstythe underside of the `secondary slide 80.

. The general operation' of lthe mechanismV in; general described isI asf follows :i-Thef` lfrictional resistance `in any position to which user :of the machine places va coin ofthe proper dimensions,;that is, a nny ,for

or a dime for a dime machine, inthe orifice 45 whence it descends throughV thefslot :e i penny machine, a vrnickel for niclel machine,

in the slide .2() into the recess 52 in the coin holder 48.

- Assuming now that an article 14 is in the receptacle 43 in the position illustrated in Fig. 2 and the coin in the posit-ion illustrated in Fig. 3, the operator of the machine pulls the handle 22 orwardly thus rotating the shaft 23 through the pawl and ratchet mechanism, and the slide 20 is brought forward while the lslide 8O remains stationary until the coin holder is rotated in the direction of the arrow b by the lug '60 .abuttingagainst the stop 462 and the coin is pushed ourl oir' the recess 52 by the ejector plate v63. At the saine time that this is :occurring the slide 20 moves the receptacle 43 forwardly carrying the article 14 off ofthe plate 95 and dropping it on to the plate 94, then upon releasing the handle 22 the spring 25 will return the. slide 20 to its normal position. together with the slide 8O and during' this backward movement the receptacle will push the article off of the vshelf 94, whereupon it will be dropped into the chute 55 and roll down on to the recep acle 18. This is the sequence of operations performed by the machine when a coin of predetermined dimensions is deposited therein and when the package is ready for delivery.

Assuming that the combinationfof circumstances set forth in paragraph (2) occurs, where there is no coin deposited in the machine, but there is an article 14 ready :for delivery. in this case. when the machine is operated by the handle 22, the coin detecter finger 68 will be moved into the coin slot and the lug 76 will engage the tooth 79 on the arm 78 and the slide 8O will be carried for- Y wardly along with the slide 20. The ear 83 on the movable stop 82 will be drawnr downwardly into the path of the lug 6l on the bell crank lever'and this will .rotate the bell crank lever so as to move the Lgears to roclr the coin holder in the. direction of the arrow c, and at the same time the plate 95 will be carried along with thereceptacle 43 and back again with it, so that `there will be norarticle delivered from the machine.

When the combination of circumstances is as set forth in paragraph (3) wherein a correct coin is deposited but there is no package, then. Vthe coin detecter finger is held out, but the article detecter finger 69 moves in the direct-ion of the arrow If, Fig. 5,so that the ear 90 thereon .engages the lug 9i on the slide 80 and said slide is thenmoved with the slide 20, and by the mechanism hereinbefore described vthe coin holder -48 is rotated in the direction of the arrow c and the coin is delivered to the operator of the machine. It the combination Aof circumstances se forth in paragraph (4) occurs .thenithe coin' set forth-in paragraph (5) loccur andthere., is a .slug which is thinner thanthe pen-Iiypositi-.oned in the recess52, then the coin detecter Enger '68 will `be moved s0 that the lug 76 will engage the tooth `79 andl moving,

the slide 2O willactuate the instrumentalities hereinbeiore described, to rotate the .coi-Ii holderV 48 inthe direction of the .arrow ',c, returning the slug tothe `operator of the machine. Ii? -theslug isexactly of the same dimensions as the penny, then, the coin holder will rotate inthe direction of the arrow b and the slug will be deposited in the coin receptacle inthe .casi-iig. VThe slot 47 is of such dimensions that a coin or ,slug which is of .greater thickness ythan a penny could not be introduced into it.
