CASH AND PARCELCARRIER.
SPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,414, dated September 23, 1884.
Application filed July `7, 1884; (No model.)
1'0 @ZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. BALDRIGE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a newand useful Cash and Parcel Carrier, of which the following is a specification. I
My invention consists of a contrivance by which cash, parcels, and other articles of like nature may be conveyed from one place to another by means of a small car or carrier placed on a track somewhat inclined and provided with switches and elevators to convey the car to the point desired, said car being provided with a trip so arranged that by means of arched switch-stands the car or carriage may be directed to the point desired. The object of my improvement is to aiford facilities for-carrying cash, parcels, 8:0., by carriage and switches which work automatically, which would otherwise be carried by messengers or porters, and is especially adapted for storesand warehouses. I attain this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an isometric View of the trackswitch and elevator. Fig. 2 is an isometric View of the carriage. Fig. 3 is an end View of the carriage and switch-stand. Fig. 4 is a top View of switch, showing switch thrown for branch. Fig. 5 is a side View of switch and carriage, showing the action of releasing the switch. Fig. 6 is an isometric View of the under side of the elevator-car, showing bolt.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in all the Views.

the hook R, which it is intended shall go to 4 the counter at the end of the switch A'. The car is placed on an elevator-track and raised to proper heightthat is, the-height of main track A. The track is so inclined that the car is impelled toward the switch A'. The trip P has been set in the are O to strike the lever b', connected by the connecting-rod b and the bell-crank E with the switch A'; consequently the trip P passes all switch-stands until it reaches the stand B', when it strikes the lever 1/, and-the bell-crank E forces the switch B outward until the notch A is in the hole B where it is held by the catch H of the camlever H. The car then passes onto the switch A', while the pin m presses up the cam-lever a wheels N N are fitted on the elevator-track C.
The elevator is raised by means 'of the rope F and the pulley J to the level of the upper or rcturn track, A After the car passes onto this track the elevator-track is lowered by the rope movable trip P, and the pivot O', with theholes O all substantially as set forth.
