UNITED i STA form n. OFLYNN., 0r VANCOUVER, A13r1fr1-sn COLUMBIA, cANanA- NEWSPAPEE VENDER.
Application filed July 17, 1925, Serial No. 44,276, and in'Ganavda May 9,1925.
This invention relates to a newspaper' vending machine which is designed to deA liver a paper to the applicant on Vthe presentation of the desired coin, the presence of the coin enabling the purchaser to operate the machine to deliver a paper.
The invention is particularly .described in the following specilication, reference beingmade to the drawings by which vit lis accompanied, in which: y
Fig. 1 is a vertical section on thevline 1-1 in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 is a plan with the cover removed.
Fig. 3 is a detail of the means by which the 'coinA forms the connection between the external and the internal operating mechanism. j
Fig. l is 'a detail ofl the ratchet paw-l which prevents backward movement of the operating shaft. I
Fig. 5 'is a detail of the means whereby the Coin slit is Closed when the magazine supply of papers is exhausted, andV Fig. 6 is a detail in perspective 'of the paper cleats.
In these drawings 2 represents a boxlilre receptacle, preferably of sheet metal, havv they are one by one ing a cover 3 over that portion of it within which the papers are stacked, which cover is hinged at a and may be secured by a suitable lock.
ln the bottom of chains 5 are spaced this box 2 two endless apart and pass around driving sprockets 6 secured on an axle 7 across the front of the box and around grooved sheaves '8 rotatably mounted on an axle 9 across the back.
Extending across between the upper stretches of these chains 5 is a series of right angled strips 10, the front and bach edges of the horizontal components of which strips, see Fig. 6, are connected tothe links of the chains 5 with the upright components projecting from the forward edges,
A plate 12, secured to the chains 5 ex@ tending across between them, is slidably supported on a guide rod 13, one outside each chain 5, and parallel therewith. This plate 12 supports the papers in an upright position and moves forward with them as delivered from the magazine to purchasers.
At the front of the machine the bottoml of the box drops down as at 14, into which drop the papers individually fall from .the
as they passaround the front sprockets 6.
From a .slit 19, adapted to .receive the coin for which 'the machine is designed, a coin chute 18, 17 extends downward and forward to deliver radially into one of 4the slots of a wheel 16, see Fig. 3, secured on the sprocket shaft 7. The lower length 17 of this coin chu-te is pivotally mounted to turn on the shaft 7 and at its connection to' the upper length 18 is checked in alignment with fit by a bevel or overlap' 23 against which it is normally 'held by a spring 22.
` lEy means of av handled' rod 21 project"- ing through the front of the casing 2 this lower length'fl' ofthe coin chute is lmovable as a lever to rotate the sprocketshaft '7 through an annular distance approximately equal to the pitch of the paper carrying strips '10 on the chains 5, but onlyy whenY a'coin of the proper size has been deposited in the slit 19, as when this coin moves wheel 16, it constitutes a driving connection'between the lower length 17 of the chute and the sprocket shaft 7.
To prevent 4a coin being deposited in .the slit 19 when the supply of papers in ther magazine is exhausted, a shutter 25 is slidable beneath the coin slit 19, the end of which shutter is downwardly turned in the path of the upper end 26 of a lever pivoted at 27 to a bracket secured to the top of the casing 2. This lever extends below its pivot, as at 28, and its end is upturned to be engaged by the laterally turned end of a small bell-crank lever 29 pivoted at 30.
The other end of `this bell-crank lever projects inthe path of a member 31 secured to the slide of the paper support 12; so that when the last paper has been delivered, the member 81 engages the upwardly pro jecting member of the bell-crank 29 and moves it to withdraw the other end from its engagement with the turned end of the lever 28, allowing that lever to be vdrawn bach under the impulse of the spring 32 and its upper end'26 to engage the downwardly down the chute into a slot ofthe y turned end of the shutter and move that shutter to close the aperture 19.
The end of the shaft 7 is squared as at 11 and an aperture 35, closable with a shutJ ter on the inner side of the casing, permits a handle to be applied to the squared end whereby, when the magazine hasto be recharged, the spring` ratchet 34 may be lifted and the shaft 7 rotated backward for recharging with papers. n
In use, the cover 3 being opened and the cash, from the previous charge of papers,
removed, the aperture 35 is opened from within and a handle applied tothe squared end 11 of the sprocket shaft 7. The check spring` 34 may then be lifted from engagement with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 33 and the shaft 7 rotated backward to carry the supporting plate 12 to the back of the machine, and the paper holding strip 10 disposed on the upper stretches of the chain 5.
The handle is then removed from the shaft and the aperture closed, and a charge of papers is arranged one on each strip 1() to rest on the horizontal portion thereof. The lower end of the lever 26, 28 isv then connected to the bell-crank 29 and the shutter 25 is drawn baci; to open the coin slit 19. rlhe cover 3 is then closed and locked.
Then a part-y desires a paper they drop a coin 24 in the slit 19 and it passes down` the chute 18, 17 and lodges in the slot of the coin wheel 16, in which position, half in the wheeland half in the chute, it forms a l driving engagement between the lower section 17 of the chute and the sprocket shaft 7. The handle 21, when drawn out, will thus rotate the wheel 1G through a suflicient arc to drop the front end paper off its chain strip 10 and into the depression 14 from which it may be readily removed through the slit below the front Vof the casing.
On release of the handle rod 21 the mech-V moves the shutter 25 to close the slit 19,so
that a coin cannot be received unlessr there is a paper to deliver. f Y
Having now particularly described my invention, :l hereby 'declare' that' what l claim as new and desire to be protected in by Letters Patent, is:
.fr device for vending newspapers comprising a casing having a shallow depressed pocket across the front of Vthe bottom into which the lower edges of the papers are delivered. said. pocket being open at the front to expose said lower edges of the paper only, pair of spaced endless chains passing over idler pulleys and fever sprockets, a
driving' shaft on which said sproclets'are mounted and by which said chains may be moved, a series of E shaped angled strips, the horizontal component of each of which is provided with anchoring hooks for con necting;` the same to the respective chains,
said strips adapted to receive thel papersV in n vertical file, a follower plate secured to and between the chains and movable with the same.. guide rods paralieling` the chains on which said follower plate is slidably mounted, all. being` arranged substantially as shown and described. lntestimony whereof Iaiiix my'signa'- ture.
