This invention relates to a coin and slug separating device. f

It is an object of this invention to provide an improved coin and slug'separating device which is relatively simple and inexpensive in construction and emcient in use.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a new-and improved coin and slug separating devicefor preventing fraudulent coins, tokens, slugs, etc., from entering into or operating a. coin-operated machine or apparatus with which the new coin and slug separating device is associated.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improveddevice for preventing a. magnetically attractable or steel slug from entering into or `operating the machine or apparatus with which the new coin and slug separating device is associated.

An additional object of the invention is to provide anew and improved device for electing a. magnetically attractable or steel slug out of the coin chute( which is embodied in and forms 'a part of the new coin and slug operating device. and into a discharge chute whichis associated with the same. I

A further object of the present invention is-to provide a new and improved devicefor preventing a fraudulent and relatively light slug, such, for example, as a paper or cardboard disc, from operating 'a machine, apparatus or the like with y which the new selecting device is associated.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel device for ejecting a rela-- tively light slug, such for example', as` a paper or cardboard disc, or the like, out of the coin chute, which is embodied in the new device, and

into a discharge outlet which is provided in the same.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel device for detecting and ejecting fraudulent coins, tokens or slugs of a material identical to the standard U. S. five-cent piece butr of a slightly lesser diameter.

Another object of the present invention /is to provide a novel device for detecting and electing fraudulent coins, tokens, slugs or the like, of a material known as Linotype metal", which is comparatively immune to magnetism, yet is relatively softer 'with respect to the standard U. S. five-cent piece. v

Another and important object of the present invention is to provide a novel device for effect ing a selection between' fraudulent slugs or tokens, such as brass, copper, lead, zinc, Linotype (ci. 19d- 101) metal and aluminum slugs or discs, and a coin having the intended and proper metallic compositiomsuch as the standard U. S. nickel, dime, quarter or the like.

A further 4object of the present invention is 5 to provide a novel device for effecting a separation between fraudulent slugs or tokens, such as brass, copper, aluminum, Linotype metal, lead and zinc slugs and the like, and a coin having the intended or proper composition and dimensions, such as a nickel, dime, quarter or the like, whereby the fraudulent slugs will be discharged or diverted from the coin chute of the device onto a discharge outlet provided therefor, in the device, and` the coin having the proper and intended metallic composition will bey discharged from the coin chute into another discharge outlet which is provided in the device for-the reception of the same. y

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.

Fig. 10 is a vertical sectional view taken along line lt-Iii in Fis. 7.

A preferred embodiment of the new coin and token selecting device is shown in the drawings, is therein generally indicated at il, and

comprises a body Il' in which is formed a tortuous coin chute, which is generally indicated at I2. Formed in .the II are two inlets I3 and I4 to the coin chute I2, the inlet I3 opening upwardly or vertically and the inlet I4 opening ,laterally or horizontally so that coins or tokens 6I which is beveled to urge coin tokens, slugs etc. in a direction away from the wall I6. Likewise formed on the wall I6 is a laterally extending rib or deflector 61 the long axis of which runs in a. plane substantially parallel to the runway I5; the forward end of this deilector 61 (left end Figs. 7 and 9) merges with the surface of the wall I6 and the deflecting surface 68 thereof graduates toward the extreme projection at the opposite end (right end Figs. '7 and 9).

Pivotally mounted, as at I 8, (Fig. 3) l upon the body II of the new selecting device is a magnet carrier I9 and mounted on and carried by this member I9 is a magnet 20, one edge 2I of this magnet 2li being adapted to be projected into the slot or opening I1 which is formed in the' wall I6 of the upper portion I5 of the coin chute I2, for a purpose to be described presently.

The pivoted magnet carrier I9 has an offset arm 22 (Figs. 3 and 8) and projecting into an opening formed in the arm 22 of the magnet carrier. I9 is a pin 23 which is carried by an operating lever 24. This operating lever 24 is pivotally mounted at one end thereof, as at 25, upon the body II of the device.

Pivotally mounted on the body II of the new device, as at 3I, (Fig. 2), isl an operating lever 32 and this operating lever 32 carries a pin 33. 'I'his pin or extension 33 of the lever 32 projects between a member 34 and an offset arm 35 of the latter (Fig. 3) and the member 34 forms one movable wall of the upper portion l5 of the coin chute I2 and is pivotally mounted upon the body I I of the'device, as at I8 (Figs. 1 and 3); and engageable with the lower` end portion of an arm 26 of the operating lever 32 is the inner end portion 21 of an actuating memberor plung- -er 28 which is slidably mounted in a. support 29 which fonns one wall of, the cabinet of the coincontrolled machine or apparatus with which the new device is associated, this actuating member or phmger 28 being normally urged into its initial position (as in'full lines, Fig. 2) by means of a resetting coil spring 30 which is arranged thereon.

-The open wall portion normally closed by the gate'ror movable wall section 34 constitutes adischarge opening through which certain coin elements may pass sidewise out vof the chute when .they have been arrested by, and subsequently released from a testing means disposed.

opposite the wall portion 34.

A ilnger portion 63 formed .as a p'art of the operating -lever 32 extends laterally froma point adjacent-the pivoted mounting 3i thereof `and extends between the arms of "afbifurcated portion 64 formed as a part of the-operating lever adjacent its pivotal mounting 25. 85 `is.associated` with the upper ends "(Fig. 2)- of the operating levers 24 and 32 "tourge the same into initial position as shown.

Attached to the body II of the coin chute I2,

at 'one side thereof, (Figs.l 1 and 6) is a wall member 81 having mounted thereon a member 31 and this member 31 co-operates with the wall and 41.

A` springl cardboard slugs and the likeras will be described hereinafter.

Formed in the hinged or movable wall 34 of the upper portion I5 of the runway I2 is an elongated opening 69, the long axis of which is parallel to the runway I5 (Fig. l), this opening 69 being formed opposite the deflector rib 61 formed on the wall I6 so as to cao-operate with the latter in ejecting undersized coins, tokens,"

slugs and the like.

The wall I6 of the uppermost run I5 has formed therein a pair of spaced apertures 12 and 13 adapted to allow a free passage for a U- shaped member 14, one leg` 15 of which is ilxed to the hinged wall 34 as at 16, the opposite leg portion 11 being normally disposed out of the path of coins, tokens, etc., passing along the uppermost runway I5.

The hinged wall 34 vis normally urged into closed position as shown in Fig. 3 by a spring 16 which is slidably mounted upon a pin 19 having an enlarged outer end portion 8| and having a loose mounting upon the body II as at 82; the

pin 19 projects through an opening 83 formed recess or pocket 4I (Fig. 7) which leads from theA coin chute I2 into the discharge chute 38 through a dropout opening 66 formed in the wall 61. The defiector 39 has a top surface 1I) which is relatively narrow with respect to the width of the peripheral edge of coins, tokens, slugs, etc., due to a beveling of the two edges 1I for a purpose to be given presently.

The coin chute I2 includes a portion 90 (Fig. 7) which is inclined in a direction which is opposite to the inclination of the upper portion I5 of the same, vand pivotally mounted in the coin chute I2 at the entrance to the portion 90 thereof. as at 42; is a gate 43 by means of which relatively light slugs such," for example,. as cardboard and paper discs, will be deflected back into thepocket or opening 4I,y and thence into the the upper Aportion I5 of the same and at an angle relative to the portions 90. The coin chute I2 also includes a lower portion 4 5 which extends in an'oppo'site direction relative to the inclination of the portion 44 of the same and at its lower end this portion 45 of the coin chute is enlarged and bifurcated` or divided so as to form two diverging branches or discharge outlets 46 Pivotally mounted as at 48, inthe lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2, between the branches or discharge outlets 46 and 41 of the same is a deilector 49. This deflector has a relatively sharp-pointed upwardly extending projection or nose portion and this deflector 49 is adjustable about its pivot 48 by means of a screwA and slot connection 5I-'52 with the side Wall 53 .of the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2.

Likewise Apivotally mounted in the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2, as at 54, (Fig. '7)

but above the deector 49 is a second deilector vthe oilset arm 22 (the action of 55 and this deilector 55 has a screw and slot connection 55-51 with the side wall 53 of the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2. This deiiector 55 has a pointed projection 52, the purpose of which will be explained hereinafter.

Mounted upon the body' I| of the device at openings 88 formed between the upper and lower ends ,of the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2, is a pair of permanent magnets which are generally indicated at 58. These magnets 58 are preferably of the horseshoe type and include a magnet 59 arranged on one side oi' the lowermost portion 45 oi' the coin chute `|2 and a magnet 58 arranged on the opposite side of the same, in spaced relation with respect. to each other to allow passage of a coin through the runway 45, the space between the poles of these magnts 58 setting up eddy currents across the runway for reay sons to be given presently.

Operation #If a magnetically attractable disc or token is inserted into `the coin chute- I2, through either of the two inlets I3 and I4 thereto (Fig. '1), it will travel by gravity down the uppermost portion I5 ofthe coin chute I2, along the bottom wall 5| of the same, until it comes opposite to or into alignment with the slot or opening |1 whereupon it will be attracted by the magnet 25 toward the edge part and will be held thereby in the uppermost portion I5 of the coin chute I2 and against traveling farther down the same, and the thus held magnetically attractable or steel disc or slug will be heldin this position (as at A, Fig. 7) until the plunger 28 is operated, as will now be described.

In order to release the thus held -magnetically attractable or steel slug from the uppermost portion I5 of the coin chute` I2, and so as to clear the latter for the passage of the intended or proper coin, the operator of the device pushes in oir the plunger 28 (right to left, Fig. 2). When the plunger 28 is thus pushed in, its inner end portion or head 21 engages the lower end portion 25 of the lever 32 and thereby pivots thel latter, at 3| (clockwise, from full to dotted line position, Fig. 2). When the operating lever 32 is thus pivoted (clockwise, from full to dotted line position, Fig. 2), the lateral extension or pin 33 carried thereby engages the oilset arm 35 of the hinged wall 34 and thereby pivots the latter at I8, (clockwise, from full to dotted line position, Fig. 3). Simultaneously with the movement of the operating lever be pivoted at 25 counter-clockwise so as to pivot the magnet carrier I5 clockwise about its mounting I8 through the medium of thepin 23 and the magnet carrier .I9 being slightly subsequent to action of the hanged wall 34), thereby moving the magnet 28 away from the uppermost portion I5 of the coin chute I2 and away from the slot or opening I1 which is formed in the latter, thereby releasing the magnetically attractable or steel slug from the position in which it is held, at A, Fig. '1, whereupon the thus released magnetically attra ytable or steel slug will fall by gravity oil the bev led bottom wall 5I into the discharge chute 38, and in this manner a magnetically attractable or steel slug is ejected from the coin chute I2 and is prevented from traveling down the latter into the discharge outlet 41 through which the intended and proper coin or token must be discharged in order'to operate the machine or apparatus with which the new device is associated."

32 the operating lever 24 will By actuating the gate 34 and the magnet carrier I8 slowly,` there is a possibility that the detained magnetically attractable slug will continue down the runway I5; however, the U-shaped member 14 will have been moved with the hinged wall 34 into a position wherein the leg 11 thereof will be disposed in the path of the advancing steel slug thereby causing the latter to drop down into the pocket 4|, whence it is directed-through the opening 55 and into the chute 38, thereby assuring that magnetically attractable slugs will be prevented from entering the lowermost runway 45.

When the plunger 28 is released the spring 15 will urge the hinged wall .34 into initial position which, in turn, through the arm 35 and pin 33, wi1l`urge the lever 32 into initial position, the spring co-operating with the spring 18 and urging the lever 24 into initial position which through the pin 23 and arm 22 urges the magnet carrier I5 into its normal position.

If a slugof a diameter slightly smaller than that of the proper standard U. S. coin to which the particular device is adapted, is inserted into either of the slots I3 or I4, that slug, of lesser diameter, will strike the deflector rib 51 and be deiiected by the graduated surface 58 thereof plus the momentum of the slug to cause the upper edge of the slug to be tilted out through the opening 59 formed in the wall 34, as'shown in Fig. 4, and thereby causing the said slugto flop into the chute 38, it being noted that a slug of proper diameter will be guided along the runway I5 despite the deilector 51 due to the upper edge of said slug or coin bearing against the upper edge of the opening 53 (Fig.` 4).

-If a relatively light slug or disc. such as a paper or cardboard disc or the like, is inserted into the coin chute I2 through either of the inlets I3 and I4 thereto, it will roll by gravity down the bottom wall 5| of the luppermost portion I5 of the coin chute I2 and will roll ofi' from the said bottom wall 5| of the portion I5 of the coin chute I2 onto the deilectorl 35 by which it will be deilected, along the dotted line path B, Fig. 7.

against` the pivoted gate`43, from which it will be deiiected or will rebound downwardly into the pocket or opening 4| (Fig. 5) whence it will fall through the drop-out opening 55 into the d ischarge chute 38, and in this manner a relatively light slug or disc, such as a cardboard or paper slug, will be prevented from passing downthe coin chute I2 into the discharge outlet 41 for the intended and proper coin.

If a coin or token of the intended and proper size and metallic composition, for example, as a nickel, is inserted into the coin chute I2, through either of the two inlets I3 and I4 thereto, the said coin will travel by gravity down the uppermost portion I5 of the coin chute I2, and will strike the deilector 35 by which it will be de-vv ilected, along the path of the full line arrows C Fig. '1, against the gatel 43, thereby pivoting the latter at 43, (clockwise, from full to dotted line position, Fig. 7). The intended and proper coin, being heavier than a relatively light disc or slug. such as a cardboard or paper disc, will thus pivot the gate 43 into open position'and will pass by the same, whereupon it will continue down the y portion 44 of the coin chute I2 and into the lowermost portion 45 of the same.

As the coin having the intended and proper metallic composition passes down the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2 it will be retarded or slowed up only slightly by the eddy currents set up in`the lowermost I2, and vhence will drop out of the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2 onto the upright point or projection 50 of the deile'ctor 49, with the center of gravity of the coin slightly to the left of the latter, from which it will travel v(along the path D, indicated by full line arrows, Fig. 7) into the discharg/e outlet 41. It is to be noted at this point that the eddy currents set up in the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2, by the magnet 58, will retard or slow up only slightly a coin which has the intended and proper metallic composition such, for example, as a nickel, as the latter runs down the lowermost portion 45 ofthe coin chute I2, and hence the intended and proper coin will have sufficient momentum, when it leaves the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2, to move past the point 50 of the deilector' 49 and into the discharge outlet 41 of the coin chute I2.

However, if a fraudulent coin or token, which y vis made of a metal or alloy diiferent from that of the intended coin such, for example, as lead, brass, zinc or copper and aluminum-slugs, is inserted into the coin chute I2 it willtravel by gravity down the latter, in the mannerhereinbefore described relative to the intended coin and will, as it passes through the lowermost portion 45 of thecoinchute I2, be slowed up slightly by the eddy currents which are set up therein by the magnet 56 so that when the said vfraudulent coin or token emerges from the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2 it will not'have suilicient momentum to move past the deector 49-50 into the discharge outlet 41 for the intended coin and hence will follow the dotted line pathE, Fig. 7; and as the said fraudulent coin or token follows this path E it will drop down onto the point 58 of the deflector 49, and will engage the projection 50 of the deflector 49 with its center of gravity at one side o f its vertical center and will be deflected thereby into the discharge outlet 46. In this manner a fraudulent coin or token which is composed of a metal or alloy which is different from themetallic composition of the intended and proper coin is prevented from traveling from the coin chute I2 into the discharge outlet 41 of the same and is directed `into the discharge outlet 46.

')In the event that the metal used in the fraudulent slug is less affected by the eddy currents set up by the magnet 58 than is the metal of the intended and proper coin' it will, upon emerging from the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2, have more momentum than the intended and proper coin and hence will strike the point 62 of the deflector by which it will be deflected along the dotted line path F, Fig. '7, into the discharge outlet 46. s

It has been discovered that slugs composed of an alloy known as Linotype metal comprising lead,`antim ony and zinc which, when of proper proportions, has all the qualities necessary to convey that slug tothe outlet (41) provided for,

coins of proper denomination `(standard U. S. five-cent piece) with onel exception. Linotype metal is softer than nickel and upon dropping a slug of this metal upon a relatively pointed surface, its physical quality is such as to receive an indentation from that relatively pointed surface. To this end the surface 10 of the deflector 39 is narrower in width, with respect to the width of coins, tokens, slugs and particularly with respect to the slug of Linotype metal which, upon dropping onto the surface 16, will be slightly dented 2,158,919 l portion 45'of the coin chute thereby reducingv the resiliency of the said slug thus preventing the latter from passing through the gate 43, but causing thesame to drop into the pocket 4I whence it passes through the dropout opening 66 into the chute 38.

It is to be noted, in this connection, that when the metal of the intended coin is such, for example, as silver which is relatively more aifected by the eddy currents of the magnet 58 than is the metal of which the fraudulent slugs are composed; then in that event the foregoing arrangement of the outlets 46 and 41, Fig, 7, yand which arrangement is specifically designed for a nickell coin chute, must be reversed so that the intended coins will 'fall into the discharge outlet 46 and the fraudulent slugs will fall into the outlet 41, since in this event the intended coins will be slowed up more by the eddy currents of the magnet 56 than the metal slugs will be, and hence the intended coins will fall into the discharge outlet 46 and the metal slugs will fall into the discharge It win be noted (Fig. 7) that the oeflectors 55 and 49 may be adjusted, by means of their screw and slot connections 56-51 and 5I-52, respeci position (counterclockwise, Eig. 7) the fraudulent slug will acquire so much momentum as it travels down the lowermost portion 45 of the coin chute I2 that it will engage the deflector 55 -and will be deected therefrom downwardly into the discharge outlet 46.'

While we have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying our invention into etl'ect, this is capable of variation and modification, without departing from the spirit of the invention. We, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail ourselves of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims. u
