The curvature of each groove is so arrangedthat the stack .will

. incline forwardly when pushed, at such an angle 'means may be used under the other tongues.

as to easily enter the open end of the container B.

In the front bevel side of the board I0 is a cylindrical recess 31 which is larger in diameter than the diameter of the curve of the groove II by an amount which corresponds to the thickness of'the tube which is to packagey the dimes from this groove.V Similar cylindrical recesses are formed in front of the various grooves 38 in front of groove I2, 39 in front of groove I3, 40 in front y lining 43 having a forwardly projecting tongue which extends out over the recess 31, the

tongues

43, 44, 45, 46,41, being sections of the cylinder of the lining of the corresponding groove and having a projecting tongue and may be cut away in the sides in the form of a spoon and preferably formed with material that has some resiliency so that the end of the tongue is slightly adaptable when inserted in the end of a. coin tube. Under the front edge of each tongue and counter-sunk in the

recesses

31, 38, 39, 40, and 4'I are cut-away depressions 48 which permit the facile insertion of the front edgel of a tube under the corresponding edge of the tongues 43, etc.

' As soon as the tube is passed to the rear of the recess, it straightens out and lies in parallel with -the corresponding groove, the aperture in the tube facing the groove to receive the inclined stack of coins as shown in Fig. 3. At the rear of each groove, a small counter-sink may be'formed in the-top of the

recesses

31, 38, 39, 40, and 4I and 'ya small 'spring 50 pinned thereto by pin 5I may be positioned so that as the tube is pushed back against the wall 42, as shown in Fig. 4, the spring 50 resiliently presses on the outside wall of the tube to press the inner wall of. the tube up against the under wall of the tongue 43. Similar resilient A modified tongue 52 is shown in Fig. 5.

VI-Iaving shown and described a preferred embodiment of my invention and realizing that, in

l "view of my disclosure, many changes will readily 'occurin details of construction, in materials and inl'size and relationship of parts, and that the board I0 may be separated into'one or a plurality of grooves, I do not limit myself except asin the appended claims.

I claim:

1'. A device for packaging coins, comprising a -block having a straight grooveto receive a stack of. coins, said groove being of such curvature in cross-section as to contact with the coins at points below their center, the front end of the groove Aterminating in the -side of theblock, a tongue which is a continuation of the groove and mount- 'ed on and extending forward of the front edge f ,of the groove and a support under the tongue on which the end of a. tube can rest, said support having a cylindrical curvature the radius of which is greater than'that of a cylindrical tube to receivethe coins, but open at the top for its full width.

2. A device i'or packaging coins comprising in combination a block having a groove to receive a stack of coins, said groove being of such curvature in cross-section as to contact with the coins only at points'below their center, a support below the irontedge of said groove, said support having a curvature concentric with the groove andl having a radius greater than the radius of curvature of the outer wall of a package adapted to receive a stack of coins from said groove, said support being open at, the top, a 'tongue which is a continuation of the groove, projecting from the front edge of-said groove over the support, and a recess counter-sunk in the top of said support under and near the end of the tongue.

3. A device for packaging coins, comprising in combination a block having a groove to receive a stack of coins, said groove being of such curvature in cross-section as to contact with the coins .only at points below their center, a tongue which is a continuation of the groove and mounted on the front edge of and extending forward of said groove, a support in the block in front of said groove, said support having a top wall curved concentrically withthe groove and to conform with the outside wall of a package to be filled but open at the top for its full width, a recess counter-sunk in the top wall of said support under and near the end of said tongue, and a resilient member -mounted on the block so it yieldably engages the cylindrical curvature below said tongue for supporting the edge of a package but open at the top for its full width, said tongue being formed of resilient material.

5. A device for packaging coins comprising in combination, a block having a straight groove to receive a stack oi. coins, said groove being of such curvature in crossesection as to contact with the coins only at points below their centers, a thin forwardly projecting tongue, which is a continua-- tion of the groove, on the lower front edge of the groove, and a support in the block in front of the groove and below the tongue and extending under the groove, the lower wall of the groove at the front having a radius ofcurvature no greater than the radius of the curvature of the inside oi a tubular package to be lled, and said support extending up on each side of the groove so that the top of the support is less than half a cylinder and having a radius larger than that of the cylindrical outer wall of the package to be lled.
