Description
Patented Mar. i6, 1926.
UNITED STATES CHARLESA. HONSINGER, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
PATENT oFFlcs.
BANK FIXTURE.
i Application filed November 1f), 19.24. Serial No. 749,092.
To all whom z't may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES A. Hon- SINGER, a citizen of the United States, residin at Detroit, in the county of lVayne and tate of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bank Fixtures, of which the following isa specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanlying drawings.
In my atent No. 1,460,584, dated July 3, 1923, there is disclosed a bank safety device for window and counter construction, the device being in the form `of a deal plate or structure which will permit of money and valuables being handed back and forth from one side.l of the bank counter to the other without' any danger of money being' unlawfully obtained by a person on the outer side of the counter slipping the hand over the l counter without detection.
This invention involves the use of a deal pla-te, such as mentioned above, in combination with a novel bandit proof wicket 'or counter fixture, the fixture being bullet proof and affording absolute protection to bank officials in the event of robbery, Without detracting from the artistic appearance or finish. of bank fixtures, my 'counter fixtures prevents thebandit or unauthorized person from scaling or climbing over the top of the v counter fixture and while the fixture is bullet proof, yetit does not interfere with-any l. conversation between persons on opposite sides ofthe counter fixture. Provision is made for the passage back and forth ofparcels too large to pass through the deal plate,
and provision is also made whereby a bank ofiic'ial may safely manipulate a fire arm` against intruders 'should it become necessary. My counter fixture will be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and
reference will wherein-4 Figure 1 is a perspective view of the inner side of the counter fixture; I Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view ofthe same, and
Fig. 3 is a similar view, on a larger scale of a-gun loop hole and closure therefor.
lnow be had' to ythe drawing,
partition a wit the partition 3-providing two one-Way passages 5 and yit is by virtue of these passageways that the bank teller may safely pass out money to a customer or the customer pass in money to the teller.
Over this deal plate and on the counter 1 is erected a metallic fixture or partition 6 having va multiplicity of panels 7 ,f 8 and 9. The panels 7, adjacent the tellers position at the counter 1', are preferably made of bullet proof glass and metallic plates, a bullet proof glass being used in such panels `where it is necessary for the teller and c ustomer to observe each other.
The panel 9 is preferably in the form of a hinged door, made of bullet proof glass -or metal and this hinged door is'located above the deal plate so that bulky matter 'may be passed back and forth through the fixture, and in some instances the hinged face of the panel, whereby it cannot be con-` veniently opened from the outer'side of' the panel 8.` The closure 13 is hingedly mount` ed, as at 14, on the plate 15 secured to the inner wall of the panel 8, and on the inner wall of the closure 13 is a concave presser plate 16 against which the muzzle of a gun may be placed to force the closure 13 open, the muzzle` of the gun slipping off of the plate'lG and outwardly whereby the barrel of the gun will be held between the panel 8 and theI closure 13. The manipulator of the gun may observe intruders through the apertured plate or wicket 8 land may use the gun to either injure or capture intruders.
. A s ring 17 may beV used with the plates 15 an 16 to hold the closure 13 normally closed, yet permitting said closure to yield f openly under gun pressure. In the drawing, the reference numeral 1 The fixture or partition 6 has atop rail 18 provided with upstanding sharp guards 19 yand outstanding sharp guards 20, the guards 19 and 20 roviding a fender orentanglement that will prevent intruders from quickly scalingthe fixture or partition, consequently there is another degree of safety for the teller and other employees of the bank. i
The panels 7 made of bullet proof glass or metal, may also support outwardly opening closures 21 for loop holes in the panels, the closures being similar to that used in connection with the apertured panel 8. As a matter of fact any bank protection or fixture may be provided with normally closed loop holes so that a bank oicial may use aY gun when occasion so requires.
What I claim'isz- A bank fixture including a partition having a loophole, an outwardly opening closure for said loophole, a gun engaging means on the inner side wall of said closure adapted under gun pressure to cause said closure to start opening before the gun is within the loophole, and means holding said closure 20 normally in a closed position.
lIn testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
CHARLES A. HONSINGER.
