MOSES C. SWVEZEY, OF NEIV HAVEN, CONNECTICUT.
CASH-CARRIER APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 422,460, dated March 4, 1890.
Application filed March 26, 1889. Serial No. 304,898. (No model.)
T0 a/ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MOSES C. SWEZEY, a citizen'of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the. county of New Haven, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cash-Carrier Apparatus, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side view of one of the parts to which the wire is attached, of a conical spring arranged on the wire, of a portion of the wire or way, of a grooved pulley, and of a cord and handle for operating the spring. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of one of the parts to which the wire is attached and of a pulley, a vertical andlongitudinalsection of the upper part of the carrier and of the conical spring, and shows a part of the wire or Way, the lower part of the carrier, and the cord and handle for operating the spring.
This invention relates to that class of cashcarrier apparatus in which the track is a wire on which a carrier runs; and it consists, essentially, of a conical springarranged and adapted to throw and catch the carrier, as the invention is hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.
The obj ectof the invention is to reduce the number of parts of which the apparatus is composed and to render the apparatus noiseless in its operation.
In thedrawings the parts indicated by the letter A may be parts of the building in which the apparatus is placed, or they may be parts conveniently arranged and attached to the Between these parts the wire or way B extends and is fastened to the parts, portions only of the wire or way being shown. On these end portions of the wire and near the parts A the conical springs C are arranged, the wire or way passing through the springs. The springs are made of wire, and their coils or turns are close together or in contact. The small ends of the springs are fastened to the wire, and preferably by solder, in such a way that the ends of the springs make no shoulders with the wire. To the large end of each spring a cord D is fastened, passes through the stop as, part A, over the pulley E, and is fastened in the handle F. By means of the cord the large end of the spring is drawn toward the part A and against the movable stop ac, which regulates the tension of the spring. The stops 0c are fastened to the way by set-screws, but may be adjustably fastened to the parts A. The grooved pulleys are attached to the parts A, and are so arranged that the cords running over them will be nearly in line with the wire or way.
The carrier M is a box with a lid longer than the other part, the lid being hinged to the lower part in the manner shown, and the two parts being held together by the spiral spring m. To the. lid are fastened two perforated wood blocks, the perforationsbein g large enough to allow the blocks to run on the springs to their large ends. The perforations have their outward parts or ends enlarged or made tapering, and the wood surface in the perforations is coated with a mixture of black-lead and oil, the mixture penetrating into the wood. Thus made the carrier moves over the way with little friction, requires no oil, and makes no noise, which gives the carrier a decided preference over a carrier on wheels.
The arrangement of the parts remaining the same, the construction of the parts maybe varied. The large ends of the springs may be fastened to the parts A, the springs may be made so that the turns do not touch each other, and the small ends may be free to move, the cords being attached near the small ends. The springs may be made with one or two enlargements or swells instead of being conical. A single wood block may be used; but I prefer the constructions hereinbefore described.
The parts of the apparatus being thus arranged and constructed, the operation is as follows: When the carrier is on the spring in the position shown in Fig. 2 and the spring is drawn back, the carrier moves with it, and when the spring is suddenly released its large end flies toward its fast small end with great velocity, imparts its velocity to the carrier, (the'spring operating in' a novel way in that its tapering part acts directly against the carrier to throw it,) and as soon asthe coils or turns of the spring come together its motion stops, and the carrier, by its momentum, leaves the spring, moves over the way and onto the opposite spring, engages its large end,
ICO
stretches the spring in the direction of its length, compresses one or more of its turns, and by these means is gradually stopped and is in a position to be thrown back by the spring on which its rests.
I am aware that solid and tapering enlargements have been made on ways, near their ends, to catch the carriers, and that springs, acting in their usual and well-known way, have been used to throw carriers; but,
Having described my apparatus and its operation, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a store-service apparatus, the co1nbination of a track or way and a carrier thereon with a loosely-coiled conical spring adapted to gradually stop and to propel the In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
