Description

J. J. STEFFES TOKEN HOLDER June 29 1926.
Filed March 9, 1925 INVENTOR:
Patented June 29, 1926.
UNITED STATES JOSEPH J'. STEFFES, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
TOKEN HOLDER.
Application filed March 9, 1925. Serial No. 14,015.
My invention relates to chips or tokens and a device for holding the same in an easily removable manner. The operation and the various uses of the tokens will be further explained in the following description.
In the accompanying drawing:
F l is an end elevation of the holder and tokens on it, as looking from left to right in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal, substantially diametrical section of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a face view of one of the smaller size tokens used.
All the tokens bear the name or initials or other marks, as for instance N. N. & Co. in Figs. 1 and 3 to indicate the party issuing the tokens Thus in the present drawing the large tokens B are marked 5 cents and the smaller tokens A are marked 1 cent. The tokens thus marked are very convenient for use by milk dealers and their customers, each family buying any desired number of the large and small tokens at a time, and then use one or more of them at a time according to the quantity of cream or milk wanted. The tokens may also be used for other retail business.
The tokens are preferably made in the form of a washer having each a central hole permitting them to be slipped upon a tube G as a keeper or holder.
Said tube is provided with a lateral hole D about half an inch in from each end; and projecting out of said holes are studs E having each a slanting top and its inner end fixed in one of the ends or arms F of a bow shaped fiat spring G, which is mounted in the tube and has its ends projected beyond the ends of the tube so as to form finger holds In the operation, in placing the tokens on the tube they may simply be pushed against the slanting top of one of the studs E so that the latter disappears downwardly and the token slips over it. When tokens are to be removed from either end of the tube the operator grasps the tube and tokens in one hand and with the thumb or other linger moves the desired number of tokens outwardly over the catch E while the latter is withdrawn inwardly by pressure 01 the thumb T upon catch H. As soon as this has been done the pressure at H is released and the tokens held as B are allowed to drop from the end of the tube.
Besides having tokens of two sizes they may also be of two colors, as aluminum and iron or brass, and when made in two colors they may also be identified in that way as to their value without making them in various sizes. Either size or color will help to avoid mistakes as to value when there is not much time or good light for reading their value. The tokens are of course not limited to the values of 1 cent and five cents since in different trades higher values may be used.
It is also obvious that the holder may be used for chips of any description "for game counters and for keepingcount of goods of various kinds being received or shipped.
The tube may in some cases be a solid bar with suitable grooves for the spring arms F.
What I claim is:
1. A holding device for flat tokens having a hole for the holding device, said device consisting of a bar having swingably inserted in one end a spring arm extending beyond the end of the bar to act as a pressbutton, said arm having on its outward side a tooth some distance in from the end of the bar for retaining the tokens on the bar, said tooth or catch projecting normally outward beyond the race of the bar except when pressed by the press-button.
2. A holder for fiat perforated tokens, the same comprising a tubular body having near each end an aperture in one side, a bow-shaped spring in the tube to form two spring arms projecting one beyond each end oi the tube to serve as press buttons for pressing each arm toward the center of the tube, each ofsaid arms having a tooth projecting normally out of one of the apertures so as to retain the tokens on the bar and also prevent sliding movement of the spring bar.
In testimony whereof I aliiX my signature.
JOSEPH J. STEFFES.
