FARE-BOX CLAMP.
Application filed October 20, 1926. semi No. 142,844.
The invention is aclamp for readily attaching a change dispenser to a fare box, such as is ordinarily used on street railway systems. i a l The object of the invention is to provide a simple and eif'licient means for holding a change dispenser to a fare box.
Another object of the invention is to pro vide a clamp that may readily be attached to, or made integral with a change dispenser and which will readily hold the change dis-i penser to a fare box. V p i A further object of the invention is to provide a clamp on a change dispenser which will readily operate togrip the members of a fare box and hold the dispenser in place as it is placed thereon.
And a still further object of the invention is to provide a change dispenser clamp by which the dispenser may readily be held to or removed from a fare box.
With these ends in view the invention embodies a clamp comprising two parallel bars, that may be placed at the rear of a change dispenser; movable jaws pivotaily attached to the said bars and a vertically disposed hook for operating the said jaws and holding the device to the top of the fare boii.
Other features and advantages of the in vention will be seen from the following de* scription, taken in connection with the draw ings, wherein: M
Figure 1 is a viewshowing the device as it would appear while holding the change dispenser in place. p
Figure 2 is a rear view showing the rear of the clamp. 1
Figure 3 is a vertical. section clamp.
Figure lis a plan view with the vertical hook broken away.-
i igure Pi is a plan view bar. Y
in the drawings the device shown as it would be made, wherein numeral 1 indicates through the showing the lower a horizontal bar which. has extensions 2 at the ends that are held to the ends of the change dispenser by bolts 3 as shown in Figure 4. At
the center of the bar 1 is a downwardly ex which pins 16 of the clamps 8 extend. The
It will be understood that changes may be made in the construction without departing from the spirit of the inventiomone of which changesmay be in the exact-design or shape of either of the members, another may be in the use of other means for attaching the clamp to the change dispenser and still another may be in the use, of other means for operating the clamp members The construction will be readily understood from the foregoing description. I To use the device it may be made as shownand attached to the plate at the ends of a change dispenser by the bolts 3 and it will be observed that as it placed upon the tarebox the rods 7 of the fare box will pass between the projections 6. and the hooks 22 and when the dispenser is moved downward with the hook 17 on the upper edge of the fare box the hooks 22 will be drawninward to grip the device around the e rods 7. It will also be observed that when it is desired to remove the device the dispenser may be moved upward and as the hook 17 is pushed downward it will move the hooks 2-2 out *ard and release the dispenser from the fare box. This device may readily be attached to a change dispenser having any suit able number 0' coin tubes as the bar 1 may be made longer or shorter as may be desired.
These clamps are freely Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is t p I 1. In a deviceo'f the class described, two parallel bars with aconnection between them, means for rigidly attaching the ends of one of the bars to an object, clamp members with hooks at their outer ends pivotally attached to one of the said bars andslidably held to the 2. -In a clampforchange boxes or the like,
ahoriwntal bar ZlClilPL-ilblQ ifl be :rt-tachedto the upper-end of thesaid change box, another horizontal bar-attaci-ied to the 'iormer bar by a vertical member and adaptable to bear against' the rear of the said change box, said latter bar having PIOJGCiZlOES' extending outward a short distance from each end clamp members with hoohsat their outer ends pivotally attached to the latter oi the said horif zontalbars and slidably held to the former bar a vertlcalbarwith a hook at theuaner end-and projections at the side slidably held to the vertical member between. the two bars,
said vprojectir'ms of the said vertical'n'iember having inclined slots attheir outer end and pins on the said clamp members extending through thesaid slot, said members being arranged to move the'hooks at the ends of the clamps outward as the vertical rod is moved unward and inward as the said rod is moved downward.
3, in a clamp 01"". the class described, a pair or lateraliy movable l1OOlS ati he ends of angular shaped menibers,afraine having two horizontal members connected by 'a vertical member at the center upon which the'said angular shaped members are 'pivotally and slidably mounted, a vertical member having horizontal projections alsoslidably mounted upon the said frame and means for connecting the horizontal projections of the vertical member to the angi'i'lar shaped members to cause the hooks to move outwardor inward as the vertical member'is-moved upu ard or downward.
