/ COIN COUNTER AND HOLDER Filed Aug. 15. 1929 INVENTOR I Patented Mar. 10, 1931 I TJNETED STATES FREDERTCK HENRY HEAD, OF OAK LAWN, RHODE ISLAND coin oonnrnn Ann HOLDER Application. filed August 15, 1929. SerialNo. 385,989.
This invention relates to adevice which is designed and adapted to hold a-counted numer of coins. I
One of theob ects of the invenion is the U provision of a device of the indicated charcoins in counted numbers, to the end that transactions involving the handling and counting of coinsmaybe expedited.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention resides in'the particular construction of the device and the-functions of the parts thereof hereinafter fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is an end view of the device.
Fig. 2 is a side view.
Fig. 3 is a top view.
Fig. 4 is a section taken on the line 4-4 of Fig.3, showing a coin in dot and dash lines.
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4, but showing the; flexible members thereof held in flexed positions with the coin engaging portions thereof disposed to hold the coins in the holder. 1
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary section taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 7 is a fragmentary section taken on the line 77 of Fig. 5.
The device in the illustrated embodiment of the invention is produced from a single piece of spring metal such as sheet brass or steel, and consists of a holder body 10 having a plurality of coin receiving slots 11 arranged *side by side, flexible members 12 provided with coin engaging portions 13 which cooperate with each other to hold the coins positioned in the slots, when the flexible mem- 1 bers 12 are flexed from their normal position, and means 14 at each end of the body 10 to releasably hold the flexible members 12 flexed for the purpose stated. The holder body 10 consists of a bottom member 15 and side members 16. The flexible members 12 are carried respectively by the side members 16, it being apparent that one of the side members 16 is extended, the material being bent upon itself to present a bight 17 and re-bent in V-shape to present an edgelSwhich is soldered or brazed to an edge 19 on one of the flexible members 12 provided byextending the material from which the other side member 16 is produced. The bight 17 provides one of the coin engaging portions 13, and the edges 18 and 19 present the other of the coin engaging portions 13. It will be apparent that each coin slot 11- occurs in the side members 16 of the body 10 as well as the flexible members 12. In the present instance the slots 11 are suhiciently large to respectively receive coins ofthe'same denomination, when the flexible members 12fare in their normal positions, as shown most clearly in Figs. 1 and 4.
When the flexible members 12 are flexed toward each other from their normal positions, the coin engaging Iportionsls? will be brought toward each other spaced a distance less than the diameter of-a coin, and will to operate with each other when so disposed to hold the coins positioned in the slots against displacement therefrom. The flexible members 12 are held. flexed to maintain the coin engaging portions 13 engaged with the'coins by the means 14 hereinbefore mentioned. The said means 14 is in the form of a spring latch and consists of a flexible member 20 in te'gral with the bottom member 15 and a proiection 21 struck from the member 20. When the flexible members 12 are flexed toward'each other, the projections 21 will engage the unc ture between two of the flexible members 12, to maintain all of said members 12 flexed with the coin engaging portions 13 engaged with the coins to releasably hold them in the slots 11,.as shown most clearly in Figs. 5 and 7. By flexing the members 20 from their normal positions the members 12 will return to their normal" positions, therebyreleasing the coins. i
' From the foregoing it will be obviousthat by providing a certain number of slots in the device, positive assurance will be had of there being a counted number of coins in the holde and. that t e device enables the stacking of coins in counted numbers, to the end that transactions involving the handling and counting of coins may be expedited.
The device may be provided with indicia denoting the number of coins which the device holds, or the amount in dollars and cents,
'or both, and may also contain any suitable 1. A device of the class described compris- 7 ing aholderbody having coinreceiving slots ther in, flexible members on said body provided with coin-engaging portions which cooperate with each other'to hold the coins positioned in said slots when the flexible members are flexed from their normal positions, and means to releasably hold said members flexed. 7 y
2. .A device of the class described comprising a. holder body having coin-receiving slots therein, flexible members on said body provided with coin-engaging portions which cooperate. with each other to hold the coins positioned in said slots when the flexible mem bers are flexed from their normal positions, and means on said body to releasably hold said members flexed.
3. A device of the class described comprising a holder body having coin-receiving slots therein, flexible members on said body provided with coin-engaging portions which cooperate with each other to hold the coins positioned in said slots when the flexible members are flexed from their normal positions, and spring latches on said body to releasably hold said members flexed. 7
4. A device of the class described produced from a single piece of spring metal and consisting of a holder body having coin-receiv ing slots therein arranged side by side, flexible members on said body provided with coinengaging portions which cooperate with each other to hold the coins positioned in said slots, when the flexible members are flexed from their normal positions, and means to releasably hold said members flexed.
5. A coin holder comprising a holder body for the coins, flexible means on said body having provision for engaging the coins to retain. them in the holder, when said means is flexed from a normal position, and means on said body to releasably hold said means flexed, said flexible means in itsnormal position allowing the coins to be placed in and also to be removed from the holder.
6. A coin holder comprising a holder body for the. coins, flexible means on said body having provision for engaging the peripheral edges of the coins to retain them in the holder,
when said means is flexed from a normal position, and means on said body to releasably hold said means flexed, said flexible means in its normal position allowing the coins to be placed in and also to be removed from the holder.
