VENDING DEVICE.
N0. 539,121. Patented May 14, 1895'.
WILLIAM DIEBEL, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND SAMUEL I. SMITH, OF SAME PLACE.
VEN DING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 539,121, dated May 14, 1895. Appiicaionieanty 3,1894. serai 110.509,886. (No man.)
Beit known that I, WILLIAM DIEBEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vending Devices and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference .being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part ot' this specification.
My invention consists of certain improvements in vending devices, and consists of an apparatus which will deliver automatically, when acoin of the proper value is inserted therein, goods to full value-of said coin,.or a check, the purchasing value of which is equal to that of the money placed in the apparatus.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of my device, the front having been removed to better illustrate the mechanism contained within the framework or box.` Fig. 2 is a section on the line fr of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a section on the line yy of Fig` l. Fig. 4 is a det-ached plan view, enlarged, of a portion of my apparatus. Fig. 5 is a section on the line z z of Fig. et looking in the direction indicated by arrows, and Fig. 6 is a side elevation of one of the parts here` inafter fully described. .v
A is a box or casing at one side of ywhich is a metal plate B, having a curved slot h for the reception of a coin, by which the machine 'is operated.
C is a lever, one end of which is placed below the coin slot directly in the path 0f the coin. This lever is pivoted at a point c, the other end of the lever having a projecting portion c', which normally rests in a notch d in the cam wheel D. The cam wheel D is pivoted to a bracket E by means of a rod E. At the outer end of the said rod E is placed a circular disk F which has mounted yupon its face circular disk f secured to the disk F by studs f. The large disk rotates freely upon the rod E and each of the smaller disks have a free independent movement .upon their studs f.
lten between the pins.
Gis a hub, iixedly secured to the rod E', having inserted around its periphery thin blades g. Upon each ofthe disks f, I place a rowfof pins f2. ,These pins come in contact with the blades g when rotating, and cause the .latter to curve forward in order that the pins may pass. The disks will continue to rotate unt-il their momentum is finally checked by the resistance offered by the blades. The blades serve as index fingers when the disks are at rest, pointing to a number which is writrlhe several numbers pointed out by the blades are added together and their sum is compared with figures arl ranged upon a chart by which the purchaser v The device, howmay be told his fortune. ever, may be used for various purposes of amusement as well as the use already referred to.
At the rear of the disk F and connected with it, is a ratchet wheel H, and pivoted to the cam wheel D is a pawl d', which is acted vupon at one end by a spring d10 secured to the cam wheel. The pawl is normally prevented from engaging with the ratchet by the lug I, which bears against the pawl, when in the position shown in Fig. 2.
J is a lever which is manually operated by pressing down the curved portion J of said lever. This lever is pivoted at-j and connected to the cam wheel D by the connecting rod, j. To the rear of the lever J, and secured to the hub of said lever isa wire rod jz, whose oce is to prevent the end of the lever C, which enters the notch in the cam wheel from rising too high and discharging the coin into the box K before the operating lever has been manipulated.
L is a bell operated from the cam wheel D by the lever Z and connecting rod Z.
M is a tube which contains the articles to Vbe delivered. The latter. are placed in said tube at the top, one upon the other until the tube is filled. f
N is a delivery slide, which is relatively of the same thickness as each of the articles to 1' "inn STATES PATENT OFFICE..
IOO
' a channeladapted to containthearticles.tol 6o O, it assumes the position shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 4. lVhile the delivery slide is in this position one of the articles to be delivered drops into the path of said slide and is ejected by the forward motion of said de livery slide. The delivery slide has a` slot n to receive the rod o, projecting from the lever O, and motion is imparted to the lever O`and delivery slide N by the linger d2 which is formed on the cam wheel D.
Then the cam wheel D is operated by pressing down the lever J, it turns on its tulcrum, and brings the finger d2 into contact with the inclined surface of the projection o on lever O and a further movement presses the lever outward and dra-ws the delivery slide in, allowing the articles to drop into the path-of said slide. At this point the lever reaches a detent p in thelever P, and as the said lever l? drops by gravity, thelever O is normal position under the influence of the spring Q, in which position it is locked-in the detentp in the lever P, which prevents the delivery from heilig operated untilthe finger d2 on the camwheel D, has beenlagain caused to operate.
The cam wheelD is brought to theposition shown in Fig. 2 by means of5 a spring R, one end ot which is secured to the lower part` off the cam wheel D, while the other issecured` to the bracket S, which supports the levers OandP.
Motion is imparted to the disksf by the flexible finger T, which consists'of a strip of rubber or other flexible material t placedbetween steel springszff'and-tz. l/Vhen thedisk F is rotated, the disksf arebrought into contact with the iiexible nger'T,which imparts to eachof the latter a rotary motionas they are carried around by the disk; F.
I'Iavingnow described my invention, what I claim, and desiretosecu reby Letters Patent, is
