Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES D. LAZELIJ, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
COIN-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 583,808, dated June 1, 1897. Application filed May 18, 1896. Serial No. 592,048. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMEs D. LAZELL, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Coin-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
The object of myinvention is to so construct a coin-holder that while the coins will be securely retained therein against accidental to discharge they can be readily delivered therefrom one at a time. This object I attain in the manner hereinafter set forth, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- I 5 Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a coinholder constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the casing on the line 3 3, Fig. 1, one of the coins being shown in elevation; and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of a modified form of coinholder in accordance with my invention.
In Figs. 1, 2, and 3, A represents a tube or casing of oval cross-section, the minor axis of which is less than the diameter of the coin and of sufficient length to receive the desired number of coins, which, owing to the oval cross-section of the casing,must be introduced into the same while tipped or inclined, so that they occupy a diagonal position in the casin g,
as shown in Fig. 1, a suitable diagonal or inclined support a being provided at the rear end of the casing for the support of the innermost coin.
The casing is open at the outer end, and in one side of the casing is formed a longitudinal slot 19, laterally bounded by raised walls d, and in this slot is contained a coiled spring f, which is secured to the casing at its inner end and is connected at the outer end to the stem of a finger B, which has a button 9 on the outside of the casing and is bent down at its forward end so as to bear upon the outermost coin in the tube.
The spring f is not strong enough to draw the finger B rearwardly when the bent end of the said finger is in contact with the foremost coin in the case, but when additional rearward pressure is exerted upon the finger by manipulating the button 9 the bent end of the finger will slip over the upper edge of said coin and come into contact with the next coin, thereby releasing the foremost coin and permitting its discharge from the case, the descent of the finger as the same comes into contact with the next coin serving to facilitate this discharge.
In the holder shown in Fig. 4 the casing A has in one side a slot with serrated edges and the button 9 has on the under side a forked 6o spring 8, which will yield to permit rearward movement of the button 9- and finger B, but will engage with the serrated edges of the slot and prevent any forward movement of said button and finger. 6 In thedevice shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4 the button g has an index-finger thereon and the top of the case is graduated so that the register of the finger on the button with any one of the graduations on the case will serve to show the value of the coins remaining in the case.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A coin-holder consisting of a tube or casing of oblong cross-section having its minor dimension less than the diameter of the coin, whereby the coins are held in a tipped or inclined position therein, a finger adapted to travel in a longitudinal slot in the casing and to slip over the coins in succession, and means whereby said finger is held in contact with the coin at the discharge end of the casing, but is capable of moving so as to free the same.
2. The combination in a coin-holder, of a tube or casing oblong in cross-section and having its minor dimension less than the diameter of the coin, whereby the coins are held in a tipped or inclined position therein, a retaining-finger adapted to slide in a longitudi nal slot in the casing and having an external knob or button, and means whereby said finger is held in contact with the coin at the discharge end of the casing but is capable of 5 moving so as to free the same.
3. The combination in a coin-holder, of a casing oblong in cross-section and having its minor dimension less than the diameter of the coin, whereby the coins are held therein in a tipped or inclined position, a finger movable in a longitudinal slot in the casing and adapted to bear upon the coin at the discharge end of the same, and a spring for retracting said finger in the slot.
4. The combination in a coin-holder, of a casing oblong in cross-section and having its minor dimension less than the diameter of the coin, said casing having at one side a longitudinal slot flanked by raised flan ges, a finger adapted to bear upon the coin at the discharge end of the casing, and a spring acting on said finger and contained in the slot of the casing and between the flanges of the same.
5. The combination in a coin-holder, of a casing of oblong cross-section and having its JAMES D. LAZELL.
