JOSEF ROGGY, OF SAAB LOUIS, PRUSSIA, GERMANY.

COIN-ASSORTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 401,593, dated April 16, 1889. Application filed June 28, 1888. Serial No. 278,421. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOSEF ROGGY, a subject of the King of Prussia, German Emperor, residing at the city of Saar Louis, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Money-Tills, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved apparatus for receiving and assorting coins of various denominations.

The object of the present invention is to provide a safety cash box or receptacle provided with a receiving-table by which the money is passed into the interior of the device, where it is sorted and coins of the same size and denomination passed into separate compartments or receptacles, so that all coins of the same denomination will be kept separate and distinct.

With these ends in view my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, more fully de-` scribed hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-section in the plane of x Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a top' plan.

In the drawings, the reference-letter 'B indicates a revolving receivingtable upon which the coins or money to be paid in are placed, and which consists of a circular disk carried by a vertical shaft or spindle, b, journaled at its lower end in a bearing, b3, carried by a suitable bracket secured to the frame of the receptacle. The shaft passes looselyr through a plate, b2, located beneath the revolving disk or money-receiving table B, and supported by the frame of the receptacle. A iiange or ring, c, is secured to the plate b2, and surrounds and extends above the surface of the receiving-table B, to form an edge around the same and prevent the coins from falling off. A iiXed guide-piece, B', is secured just above the upper face of the receiving-table B, and said guide tapers to a point from the center toward vthe periphery of the revolving table, and is secured to the flange or ring c at V its point and forms the bearing for the upper end of the spindle of the receiving-table. The ange c is provided with openings upon each side of the point of guide B and at the upper end of an inclined raceway or channel, d, which extends downwardly and opens into a receptacle, l, having an inclined bottom formed by an endless conveyer or belt, g, operating' over two rollers, h h', one of which, h', is preferably adjustable to allow the belt-to be tightened or loosened, as desired, and the other roller, 7L, is mounted upon a drivingshaft, f, for the purpose hereinafter set forth.

The conveyer g is supported between the rollers by a fiat piece, g', to prevent the belt sagging under the weight of the money carried by the same.

A shaft, j', is journaled in the frame, and is provided upon its front end with a handcrank, f', and near its opposite end with a pulley, e, connected by a cord or other means with a pulley, b4, on the spindle b, and, as before mentioned, the roller h, for operating the conveyer, is also mounted on said drivingshaft. Thus it will be seen that when the handle f is turned the spindle b, and with it the table B, is rotated, and the money lying 4upon the said table slides along the inclined side of the guide and passes through the slot in the flange c, down the inclined channel cl, upon the lower end of the conveyer g, which is simultaneously operated by the roller h. The money is carried upward by the conveyer and delivered into a hopper, t', through which it falls in an upright position upon an inclined and angularly-placed sorting-bar of frame 7o, provided with slots It', corresponding to the different diameters of the various coins. The coins roll down the sorting-bar lo in an inclined position until they reach a slot, 71:', corresponding to their particular diameter, when they fall through the slot into a receiver, m, provided with a separate compartment located below each slot in the sorting-bar. Said sorting-bar is provided with as many slots as there are different sizes of coin in use, which depends upon the particular money system in vogue. In this way the money paid in at the table B will be automatically sorted and distributed into the correct compartments.

The sorting-bar 7c and the receiver mI are IOO fitted in a case Which is provided with a door capable of being locked.

From the drawings and the foregoing description the great utility and usefulness of the device herein set forth will be evident to all persons; hence it is not necessary to herein fully enumerate the same. It is also evident that various slight changes and modifications might be made in the form and arrangement of the parts described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; hence I do not Wish to limit myself to the precise construction herein set forth, but consider myself entitled to all such changes and modications.

Vhat I claim is# I. A coin-assorting apparatus comprising a horizontal rotatory coin-receiving table, an

inclined channel extending from the periphery of said table, an arm to guide the coin on the table into said channel, and an inclined and angularly-placed sorting-bar upon the upper end of Which the coin from said channel is discharged, said bar being provided with a series of different-sized apertures and separate compartments beneath the apertures.

2. In a cash-receptacle, the combination, with a receiver, of a rotatory receiving-table provided With a stationary annular flange around its outer edge extending above its upper face and having a discharge-opening and channel, and a guide-piece on the upper face of said table tapering toward said dischargeopening in the annular iiange.

3. In a cash-receptacle, the combination of a rotatoryreceiving-table mounted upon a vertical spindle, an annular flange provided With a discharge-opening and forming an edge around and extending above the upper face of the table, a driving-shaft, and gearing connecting the shaft and spindle, whereby the table can be rotated.

4. A coin-assorter comprising a horizontal rotatory coin-receiving table mounted upon a vertical spindle, a discharge-channel to receive the coin from the table, and a stationary arm extending over the table and adapted to guide the coin toward the periphery of the table into said channel, substantially as described.

5. A coin-assorter comprising a rotatory coinreceiving table, a conveyer upon which the coin from the table is discharged, a sortingbar upon which the conveyer discharges the coin, and a receiver located beneath the sorting-bar, substantially as described.

6. In a coin-assorter, a rotatory receivingtable mounted upon a vertical spindle and provided With a guide, a belt conveyer upon Which the money from the table is discharged, in combination with a horizontal shaft provided With a handle, a pulley mounted on the shaft on which the conveyer is mounted, and gearing connecting the shaft and vertical spindle, whereby the conveyer and table are simultaneously operated, substantially as described.

7. In a cash-receptacle, the combination, With the rotatory receiving-table and the belt conveyer upon which the money from the table is discharged, of the driving-shaft connected with and simultaneously operating the conveyer and table.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

JGSEF ROGGY.
