COIN-CONTROLLED APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 432,983, dated July 29, 1890.
Application tiled January 20, 1890. Serial No. 337,473. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: edge of the coin comes in contact with the Be it known that I, THOMAS Il. COSTELLO, track along which the coin rolls. l residing at Chicago, in the ,county of Cook d is a Weighted lever pivoted below the inand State of Illinois, and a citizen of the clined track c. 5 United States, have invented a new and usee is the Weighted end of this lever, and the ful Improvement in Coin-Controlled Appaother end f is arranged so that it is in eiect ratus, of which the following is a speeificaa continuation of the track c when the parts tion, reference being had to the accompanyare in their normal position. The weight e ing drawings, in Whichis to be such that the coin of the proper 6o zo Figure l is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is an Weight to operate the mechanism will cause inside View, the door, which is shown in Fig. the lever to assume the position indicated by l, being removed. Fig. 3 is a section at line dotted lines in Fig. 2,\vl1ile any disk of metal 3 of Fig. l,looking te the left; and Figi is a which is lighter than the coin will rest upon section at line 4.. of Fig. l, looking to the right. the end oit this lever Without causing` the i5 In this ligure I have also shown a portion of same to be tilted.
the case of a coin-controlled apparatus to g is an opening in the plate D ot the case Which my device is attached, which case is A, through Which the operating-coin can pass not shown in the otherigures. to a passage h in the case B of the coincon Mischievous persons frequently place into trolled apparatus, which passage h leads to 7o zo the coin chute or passage of a coin-controlled the apparatus which is to he operated by the apparatus various obstructions as Well as coin. Y pieces of metal of light weight, and if such There is an opening in the door C of the obstructions and pieces of metal pass to the case, which is covered by a piece of glass F, mechanism they interfere with its operation. placed on the inside of the opening and held z 5 The object of my invention is to provide in place hy means of a plate of metal 1', parts improved devices for preventing the passage of which, as shown, are cut away, lea-ving of obstructions and pieces of metal of light bars j.

In the drawings, A represents a case conshown in said Fig. 4. taining my improved apparatus, which case My device is to be attached to the outside 35 is designed to he secured to the outside of of the ease containing the coin-controlled the case B containing the coin-controlled apmechanism and so that the track c will be at paratus. right angles or practically at right angles C is a door which gives access to the intewith the opening or chute h which leads to rior of the case A. Connected with this door the coin-controlled mechanism. A lock of 9o 4o is a projection a, in which there is a slot Z) to any suitable construction is to he provided receive a coin. IVithin the case there is a to hold the door C closed. The position of chamber and passage large enough for coins such lock is indicated by l. which are designed to operate the mcchan- The operationis as follows: Vhen theproper ism of the coin-controlled apparatus. coin is inserted in the slot b, it will pass to 45 D is the rear and main plate of the ease A. and roll down over the track c, from which it E is another plate, the central portion of will pass onto the end fof the lever d, causwhich is mostly cut out, which plate E is seing the lever to tilt, bringing it into the pocured to the plate D by means of screws sition shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and shown in Fig. 2. then the coin Will pass through the opening Ioo 5o c is an inclined track, which receives the g into the passage h, and thence to the mechcoin which may he placed in the slot b. The anism inthe case B. If a disk of light Weight .structions cannot reach such be inserted in the slot l), it will pass over the track c and onto the end f of the lever CZ, Where it will remain in view behind the glass F, not being heavy enough to tilt the lever. If an irregular piece of metal be placed into the slot, it cannot roll down over the track c, but will remain in view on such track. If sticks or bits of pasteboard or paper be stuffed into the slot b, the distance from such slot to the passage h is so great that such obpassage, but will remain in view behind the glass.
The several parts of my apparatus can be made of metal and the exterior can be nickelplated, and when placed upon the outside of a case B it will be ornamental rather than otherwise, and will occupy but very little space.. Y
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows 1. In combination with the case of a coincontrolled apparatus, a secondary case applied to the case of such apparatus and provided with a narrow chamber having an inclined track for the edge of a coin to roll on, a slot b, communicating with such chamber, and an opening for the passage of a coin from such chamber to the coin-controlled apparagusl, substantially as and for the purpose speci- 2. In combination with the case of a coincontrolled apparatus, a secondary case applied to the case of such apparatus and pro` vided with a chamber having an inclined track for a coin to roll on,a sloth, which communicates with such chamber, an opening g for the passage of a coin from the secondary case to the coin-controlled apparatus, and a weighted lever located in such secondary case, one end of which lever when in its normal position forms a continuation of the track for the coin, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
3. In combination with the case of a coincontrolled apparatus, a secondary case applied to the outside of the case of such apparatus and provided with a narrow chamber having an inclined track for the edge of a coin to roll on, a slot b, which communicates with such chamber, and an opening g for the passage of a coin from the case Ato the interior of the case of the coin-controlled apparatus, substantially as and for the purpose specied.
4. In combination with the case of a coincontrolled apparatus, a narrow chamber having an inclined track for the edge of a coin to roll on, which track is located at right angles, or nearly so, to the chute which conveys the coin to the coin-controlled appara-- tus, a slot b, communicating with such narrow chamber, and an opening for the passage of a coin from such chamber to the chute which leads to the coin-controlled apparatus, substantially as and for the purpose specilied.
