Application filed a rnli,
My invention relates to improvements in pay telephone stationbanks in the forinof a toy bank that is made up so as to be suggestive in appearance and'also in the results attained by fthemechanism provided of'a commercial pay telephone station, said results comprising the ringing of a a bell responsive to the insertion of-a coin and also by the turning of a crank, and the object of my improvement is to produce-a'p'ay telephone station toy bank that will be of relatively simple form and economical to manw facture, and will be convenient, eflicient, and attractive. Y
In the accompanying drawing I Figure l'is a front elevation of my improved pay telephone station bank.
' Figure 2 is a side elevation'of the same. Figure 3 is a plan view of the same. Figure 4 isa rear elevation'of the front casing member and the bell support mounted thereon. 1 j
Figure 5 is a front elevation of the bell support. v
Figure 6 is a. sectional view on an enlarged scale on the line "6-6 of Fig. 5, through the bell holding rivet and the bell hammer. v
Fi ure 7 is an edge view of the cap member (if the crank-shaft housing.
' Figure 8 is an end elevation of the crankshaft and the crank. My improvedpay telephone station bank comprises a casing 10 that has a plate-like upper portion 11 and a lower portion 12 that is in the form of a box-like structure. 'The upper portion 11 supports a forwardlyprojecting horn-like member 1.3 that is made up in the semblance of a telephone transmitter of the particular form that is used in telephone pay stations. The front end portion 14: of the member 13 is in the form of a cupshaped mouth-pieceq At the side of the box-like body structure 12, shown at the left side 15 in Fig. 1, isa pair of laterally directed spaced hornsor hooks 16 on which is removably hung a shaped tubular structural? that is made up insemblance of the receiver of a telephone such as is in generaluse and which is adapted to be supported by means ,of an outwardly flaringrib-18at the small end 19. A cord 20 connects the receiver member 17 with the plate-like upper casing portion 11. .-The upper casing. portion 11 is part of a plate-like back 21 thatextends along the 1926. Serial No. 102,095.
having nuts 24L, and has parts that close the front and'the top of "the b0); structure 12 compr sing the front vva'll 25 and the top wall 26, and a piece 27-ofv sheet metal, suit ably bent, serves as the closure for the "bottom 28' and the sides 29; p p
The top wall 26 for th'e'major part is flat and inclined from the front 'rearwardly.
There is, however a departure from the relatively plain and flat structure adjacent the front and immediately at the rear'of a set ofcoin receiving slots 30 whe-reth'ere is an upwardly directed flat face 31 that is marked in figures to denote coin denomina-' tions. As shown, there are three co'inslots 30 and the markings in back of these in order-from left to right are respectively 5, 10, and 25. The marking-s32 mentioned are cast integral with the flat face 31 and the latter is part of a shell-like. protuberance 33 in they top wall 26 that is suggestive of adormer window construction in a house. i
Projecting'laterallyfrom the rightside 3i of the box structurel.2isthe crank that is-part of a rotatively mounted moving member 36. f I
At the rear face of the-front wall 25 and at'the upper part thereofis a set of laterally spaced vertically, directed ribs 37 the free edgesot which serve as travel faces or guides for the coins in their travels from the slots 30 to the bell 38 and to the general interior space. The ribs 37 serve to provide the proper spacing from the front wall 25 for 1 the coins and constitute virtuallya skeleton front wall of the space that serves as the coin chute down which thecoins drop and which coin chute is'open to and is common to all, each of and all of the three coin receiving slots 30. Thusanyand all lcoins dropped in either of the coin slots 30, whether corresponding to the markings as given above or not, will be received .into thissingle and only coinchute or coin receiving space.
- Means for operatively closing said coin chute or coin receiving spaceatthe rear and at the sides are'provided.
llO
Thus at the reaigopposed toothe ribs 37 and in spaced relation thereto the closure s in the form of a removable plate 40 that is held in place by means of a pair of rivets 41. Bottom'in'clined directing guides for the coins are provided by means of suitable flangescomprising the flange 42 under the marking and the flange 43 under the marking.
The coin chute plate carries a shell-like and approximately semi-spherical integral housing 44- that is adapted to receive and support by means of a central rivet 45 the bell 38, the latter being in the path of coins that may be dropped into any of the coin slots. I
Means are provided for striking the bell 38 a'hammer blow in the form of the hammer 46 that ishung by means of the spring 47 from the lug 48from the coin chute plate 40. The hammer 46 has a rounded bottom end face; is normally separated by a small space from the rim 49 of the bell 38, being at the rearof said rim 49;. is located in the path of the wings 50 of aistar member 51 on the rotatively mounted member 36, and; is thrown upwardly away from the bell 38 responsive to rotation of said wings 50. As
2 the Wings 50 slide off from the head of the hammer, 46 the spring thrusts the hammer into momentary contactwith the bell 38.
As mentioned and as shown particularly in Fig.6 the bell spring 47 is'hung from the lug48 on the coin chute plate 40. spring 47 intermediate-said lug 48 and the hammer 46 is closely adjacent said plate 40 and the star member 51 is on. the opposite side ofthe said spring 47 and the hammer that is supported thereby. Thus as the wings 50 strike-the hammer46 the material of said plate 40 serves as sustaining means in backing the spring 47 responsive to rotation of said wings 50;
The supporting means for the bell hammer mechanism comprises a pair of laterally spaced half bearings 53 integral with the coin chute plate 40 for cooperating with the shaftportion 54 of the .rotatively mounted member 36 and a cap structure 55 that has the mating half bearings 56. The cap structure 55 is held in place by means of the samerivet 45 that holds the bell 38 through the medium of an integral apron or lug 57.
As described, the same bell 38is sounded by the different coins that aredropped in any of the plurality of coin slots and is also positively sounded by means of hammer blow responsiveto thev rotation of the crank.
The inclined guide flanges42 and 43 are deeper than the guide ribs or'ridges 37 and serve to space the body of the plate 40 from the front wall 25'proper and from the said ridges 37 so that there is sufficient free space between said ridges '37 Y, and said body of the plate 40 for the passage of the coins.
I claim as my invention 1. In a pay telephone stationtoy bank, a V
casing having a box-like portion that is pro-' vided with a plurality of coin slots and a common interior open space for receiving" and a lower portion that'serves as the rear 'wall of a box-like structure,a part secured" to saidback and comprising the front wall and the top of said structure, and a] sheet metal piece serving as a closure for the sides and the bottom of said structure, and said to being provided for coins. a a I 3. In a pay telephone stationtoy bank as described in claim 2,-a portion of said top being in the form of a shell-like protuberance that projects upwardly relatively to the adjacent top structure and; is integral therewith, that is laterally elongated, that has a fiat face, and said flat face having coin denomination markings adjacent the respective coin slots.
with aplurality of slots plate-like back having an upper portionthat ,7 supports a semblance of a telephone device Jim 4. In a pay telephone station toy'bank as described in claim 2, said top havinga fiat face portion that extends along the rear of said slots, and a set of integral coin markingsbeing supported by said fiat face portion. a
5. In a pay telephone station toy bank as described in claim 2, an inner plate secured'to the inner face of'said front wall, and a bell and ringing means therefor supported by said inner plate.
6; In a pay telephone station'toy bank,,a
boX-like-structure having coin slots, any incrank-operated ringing means operatively supported for engaging with .said hammer. 8. In a pay telephone station toy bank as described in claim 7, said spring being of conditions a portion of said plate will serveto sustain the spring.
9. In a pay telephone station toy bank, a
coin receiving box-like portion, an interior plate supported from one of the Walls of 10 said portion, a bell and ringing means there for having a shaft, a half-bearing part for said shaft integral With said plate, a mating half-bearing part for said shaft, and asingle rivet serving to secure said mating half- 1 bearing part and said bell to said plate.
