FREDERICK O. LYNDE, OF MANCHESTER, COUNTY OF LANCASTER, ENGLAND.
AUTOMATIC VENDING APPARATUS.
SPECIPICATION'forming part of Letters Patent No. 371,145, dated October 4, 1887.
Application filed September 14, 1886. Serial No. 213,514 (No model.) Patented in England September 2, 1886, No. 11.167 in France September 6,1886,No. 178,353; in Belgium September 7, 1886, No. 74,471; in Italy September 8, 1886, No.20,495, and in Germany September 9. 1886, No. 40,188.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FREDERICK CHARLES LYNDE, asubject of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of Manchester,
county of Lancaster, England, have invented certain Improvements in Apparatus for the Automatic Delivery of Prepaid Goods, (for which I have obtained British patent, No. 11,167, dated September 2, 1886; French patcut, No. 178,353, dated September 6,1886, Belgian patent, No. 74,471, dated September 7, 1886; Italian patent, No. 20,495, dated September 8, 1886, and German patent, No. 40,188, dated September 9, 1886,) of which the follow- 1 ing is a specification.
This invention relates, principally, to such apparatus for the delivery of prepaid goods as were described in my United States Patent No. 366,490, dated July'12, 1887; and the ob- 2c ject of my present invention is to so construct the apparatus as to prevent theeffectual working of the same by means of disks or other pieces of lead, iron, or steel, or other similar material, instead of by the proper coin.
2 5 In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of part of an automatic machine for delivering cards or similar articles on prepayment with myimproved coin-receiving slide applied thereto. Fig. 1* illustrates O a modification hereinafter alluded to. Fig. 1" shows the application of a magnet to another of my coin-receiving slides. Fig. 2 is a plan view drawn to a larger scale. Fig. 3 is atransverse section through A B, Fig. 2; and Fig. 4,
5 an elevation, partly in section,of myimproved slide and its adjuncts detached. Fig. 5 shows in plan and elevation the lever 00, hereinafter referred to. Figs. 6, 6, and 6 are plan views of different modifications, hereinafter referred to. Figs. 7, 7, and 7" are corresponding elevations, partly in section; and Figs. 8 and 8 are transverse sections through about the lines Y Z and W X on Figs. 6 and 6", respectively.
a represents the coin-receiving slide, which 5 is made with a slit, a", (or slits, as shown in Fig. 6,) for receiving the coin (or coins) to obtain the desired article. The slide a works over the surface of a table, b, the coin being in the position shown in full lines and marked 1 on Fig. 3. This table is fixed to or forms part of the casing b, (see Figs. 1 and 4,) and is made with a forked end or side pieces, b",
which, when the slide has been pushed in for a short distance, allow too small a coin or article to drop or fall from the slide a before reach- 5 5 ing the actuating or delivery mechanism of the apparatus; but if the coin or piece is of the right width these side pieces, b retain it partially in the slide a in about the position shown by dotted circle 2 2 in Fig. 3. Upon the slide being pushed farther into the apparatus, the coin or piece, if so retained, is carried to a fixed incline, c, and if of strong or stifi metal or material it will rise upon the incline c and be directed either onto the balanced or weighted lever e, to test its weight, (see Fig. 1,) or directly upon the slide f, (see Fig. 1 or upon other mechanism, which delivers or causes the delivery of the article desired.
When the balanced lever e is used, it is mounted with its point slightly in advance of the piece f, which slides in the casing of the apparatus and causes the delivery of the article in any convenient manner, the latter de-' pending upon the shape and size of the articles to be delivered. Should, however, a piece of lead or similarly soft material have been inserted into the slide or instead of a coin, it I will be bent by being pushed against the fixed incline c, and being then too short to be held by the slide a, when it is directed upon the lever e or the slide f, or other actuating mechanism, it will fall therefrom, and oonsquently will not cause the delivery of any article.
Instead of the balanced lever e, or in addi- U 5 tion thereto, I may hang a smallbalanced lever in the slide a, as shown at x, Figs. 2 and 4, and detached at Fig. 5, so as to retain any underweighted disk or piece within the slot in the said slide and prevent it from working the apparatus.
9 is a magnet mounted upon a lever, h h, and forming one side of the slit a", into which the coin is to beplaced. The magnet g is nor mally held in place up against the side of the 95 slit by a spring, i, part of the slide a being recessed or cut away for the reception of the said spring 2', the lever h h, and magnet g. The lever h h is mounted upon the slide a and moves inward with it. As soon as the slide a has been pushed a short distance into the apparatus, the end h of the lever 71/ h comes against an incline, 70, which is fixed to the casing 1), and which moves the magnet g away into the position shown at Figs. 2 and 3. The magnet y will retract with it (see dotted circle 3 3) any disk or piece of steel or iron if placed in the slit, and cause it to fall over the end of one of the side pieces, 12 12*, and not touch the lever e or other device, thus preventing the effectual working of the apparatus.
When required to work the apparatus with two coins, I employ, by preference, a slide constructed as shown at Figs. 6 and 7, and I use 'magnetsg g, mountedin the slide a upon a sliding rod, h and held to the slits a for receiving the coins by the spring i The coins, if of the proper size, when pushed into the'apparatus, will fall upon the slide f and come against a swiveled cross-piece, f on a vertical pivot and push back the said slide; but if one coin only is put into the slide a it will merely rotate the cross-piece f and not actuate the said slide f. The latter is cut away or open at 1, so that if iron disks are placed in the slide they, being held up by the magnetg will pass over the cross piecef The sliding rod h then comes against the back or any other convenient fixture of the machine and arrests the magnets 9 9 thus releasing the disks, which can then drop through the open partf ofthe slidef. This form of magnets may be applied, evidently, to a coin-receiving slide for the reception ofa single coin, as shown at Figs. 6, 7, and 8, and I would here remark that other efficacious applications of amagnet or magnets to the apparatus may be made. For example, the part at of the slide a may be provided with a fixed magnet, (see Figs. 6", 7", and 8 which, as it forms part of the slit, would retain a disk or piece .of iron or steel and prevent it from effecting the delivery of the article desired; or the magnet g (or magnets) may be applied to coin-re ceiving slides other than that hereinbefore described, but of similar or equivalent construction-such, for instance, as that described in the specification accompanying the application before referred to, as will be readily seen on reference to Fig. 1.
The size of the. coin and the slide may of course be varied to suit the coinage of the country in which the machine is to be used. The drawings illustrate a coin-receiving slide suitable for an English penny and applicable to a machine for which Letters Patent were granted in Great Britain, No. 11,811 of 1885.
Some of the features of my present invention are illustrated in applications for United States patents filed by me November 2, 1886, Serial No. 217,821, and November 15, 1886, Serial No. 218,881. In the former of these two applications I have described and claimed the air-chamber and piston in connection with the coin-receiving slide illustrated in Fig. l of the present case.
I claim as my invention- 1. The combination ofacoin-receiving slide, having a slit for the reception of the coin when the slide is drawn out, with a forked or open table below the slide for allowing undersized coins or disks to drop from the slide as it is pushed in, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, with a coin-receiving slide and a delivery-slide, of a fixed incline forward of said delivery-slide to cause leaden or soft disks or pieces to be bent when pushed into the apparatus.
3. The combination of the coin-receiving slideof an automatic delivery apparatus with a magnet or magnets therein, .for attracting and preventing disks or pieces of steel or attractable material from actuating the apparatus.
In testimony whereofI have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
FRED. C. LYNDE.
