COMBINED BOX OR CHUTE AND MEANS FOR lNTERlVllTTl-NILY DISCHARGING COlNS THEREFROIVI.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,886, :rated May 10, 1887.
Application filed September 2, i886. Serial No. 212,486.
T0 all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that l, EDWARD W. FURRELL, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and now residing in the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, mechanical engineer, have invented a certain new and useful Combined Box or Ohute and Means for Discharging Intermitteutly therefrom Coins or other Articles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invent-ion has for its object, preferably, as an application to the handle of an umbrella, sunshade, or walking-stick, to hold and discharge,when required,the small coins or moneys used by passengers for defraying streetcar fares, the cost of newspapers, and other trifling items of expenditure, so as to avoid the trouble and annoyance of seeking access to the pockets of the dress, as at present; but I do not limit my invention to this particular object, as the principal feature thereof maybe applied to other purposes where circular, spherical, or othersuitablyshaped articles are required to be discharged intermittently and consecutively.
On the accompanying drapings, Figure lis a front elevation of my invention as applied to the handle of an umbrella, sunshade, or walking-stick; Fig. 2,a side elevation thereof; Fig. 3, a section online l l in Fig. l; Fig. 4, a detached part sectional View of Fig. l; and Figs. 5 and G, detached views of modifications of parts of Figs. 1 and 2, like letters of reference denoting like parts in all the figures.
My invention consists ol' an elongated box or chute, a, formed in the present ease of a rectangular section and at an inclination longitudinally through the haudleb of an umbrella, sunshade, or walking-stick. One end or receiving-opening, c, ot' this box or chute a may be placed at the end of the handle b,as shown, or otherwise, as found most suitable, the other end or dischargingopening,d, of the box or chute c being at one side of the handle b, near the junction of the latter with the stick e. The box or chute c is of such a size in cross-section as to allow of the easy passage through it of one, two, or more ve (or ten) cent coins,1 2 3 4.
Into and along the narrow sides ol' the box or chute c are recessed flat steel springs f,(one on each side,) the ends of which nearest the end of the handle b are fixed to the narrow (No model) sides of the box or chute u, while the lower ends are free and slightly curved or set inward toward each other, so as to normally form a stop to the passage of the coins through the end or discharging opening d.
From the flat springs f, at a point immediately opposite to the point of meeting between the eircumferences of coins l and 2, stndsg project through the sides of the handle I); or,in
lieu of studs y, holes h may be formed through the sides of the handle b, as shown in the detached view, Fig. 5, so as 'to expose those portions of the springsf opposite to the point of contact between coins l and 2; or finger-springs i, for pressing against sp1-ings f, may be used, as shown in Fig. (i. l
The operation of the apparatus is as follows: The umbrella or sunshade being held end downward., 01 with the end of its handle b horizontal, or thereabout, the five-cent piece l is dropped through the receivingopening c into the box or chute c, and slips down through the latter until stopped by the free ends of the springsf. Coins 2 3 4 are then dropped through opening c, and, slipping down through the chute c, are stopped, respectively,by the edges of coinsl 2 3. \Vhen desired to abstract coin 1 from the box or chute a, the springs f are pressed inward by the thumb and finger aeting on the studs g (or on the springs j" direct through holes h, or on the springs i) against the edges of coins l and 2, and are thereby caused to assume a curved form at that part, as shown in Fig. 4, so that the convex portions of the springs f enter the spaces formed between coins l and 2, (owing to the convexity of their edges,) and in so doing press upward on and hold coin 2, and at the same time press down upon and discharge coin 1 past the free ends of springs f,(whieh have meanwhile been receded or drawn toward the narrow sides of the chute orbox (0,) and through dischargingopening d into the hand. ing then released, assume their normal position, so that coin 2 drops into the position before occupied by coin l against the free ends of the springs f, the operation being repeated until all the coins are consecutively discharged through opening d.
l. In apparatus for intermittingl y discharging coins or other articles, the box or chute c,
The springs f, bc-

formed with receiving and discharging openings, and of an oblong section, in combination vWith the springs f, arranged longitudinally along the narrow sides of said box, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A box or chute for holding coins,in combination With springs arranged longitudinally in said box or chute, and with their free ends curved or set inward toward each other, so as normally to close the discharge-opening, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. A box or chute, a, in combination with springs f, arrangedlongitudinally therein,and studs g, arranged in the sides of said box or chute, so as to engage with the springsf, sub- 15 EDVARD V. F'URRELL.
