i'rE STATES DANIEL J. CABLE, 0F PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO FRANK J. KLEBER, OF ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA.
COIN-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 610,959, dated September 20, 1898.
Application filed October 28, 1897- Serial No. 656,686. @No model.)
To all whom, itmay concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL J. CABLE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented or discovered a new and useful Improvement in Coin-Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accom panying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a package of coins inclosed in myimproved holder. Fig. 2 is a similar view from the opposite side. Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section. Fig. {l is a plan View of the blank. Fig. 5 is a similar view illustrating a modified construction.
Myinvention consists of a device for holding coins, and is designed to furnish a strong durable article for the purpose capable of withstanding the destructive effects of handling, packing, &c., and of continued use and provided with means whereby the denomination and amount of the contained coins may be indicated or counted, as shall be hereinafter described.
Referring now to the drawings, 2 represents the blank, which is preferably stamped from thin sheet metal and is designed to be Wrapped around the coins and held together by the tang 3 at one end, which is passed through the slot 4. at the opposite end and folded over, as shown in Fig. 1. It is obvious that two or more of these fangs and slots may be used with holders intended to contain large amounts of coins or those of large denomination,where a single tang would be insufficient.
Along each side edge of the holder it is scalloped or formed into projecting extensions 5, between which extensions the metal is preferably cut out, as at 6, and these extensions are folded up at right angles, as in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, and serve to retain the coins within the holder. By cutting out the metal at 6 I avoid any roughness or projecting corners, so that the edges of the holder present a clean smooth surface, free from any corners or tendency to catch the hands, clothing, &c. When so turned up at each end, the holder is bent around to conform to an approximately cylindrical form, when it is ready to receive the I coins, and it will be understood that the holders are to be made in proper sizes to receive and contain a desired number of coins of each denomination.
Midway across the holder I prefer to weaken it by making perforations '7, the object being to allow the holder to be opened up without distorting the curvature, and by this means I am enabled to open it by bending the back along the line of said perforations, the sides retaining approximately a semicylindrical form, so that when again closed the original form will be resumed. The number of these perforations 7 should be'made to correspond to the number of dollars in coin which the holder is designed to contain. Instead, however, of employing the perforations to indicate the amount of money which the package is adapted to contain other means may be used, such as figures or other symbols cut through the plate in the manner of a stencil, and a wide variety of forms may be employed having such significance as is preferred by the user of the holdersas, for instance, a business or trade mark or the name of a firm or corporation. Likewise the denomination of the coins may be indicated, as shown at 8, and while I have described and shown such indicating means as stenciled out it is obvious that minute perforations may be employed with equally good results, or the characters may be stamped in raised letters. The blanks should be made of a length slightly less than the circumference of the coins designed to be contained therein,so that when placed around the same the ends shall not meet, but shall leave narrow spaces 9 at the sides of the tang 3, through which the coins may be seen and counted, and in order to provide for the interruption caused by the tang I have made a slot 10, adjacent to the tang and slightly longer, overlapping the ends of the spaces 9, so that the coins may be readily distinguished and counted continuously from one end to the other. This is a valuable feature of my inventionand obviates the necessity of a single continuous slot or a plurality of slots or perforations, which would weaken the holder. At any other convenient point across the holder I desire to cut a slot 11, the purpose of which is to expose a name written or printed upon a slip of paper and inserted with the coins in such a manner as to appear through the slot. By this means the counter of the coins or the firm from which they were taken (as, for instance, abank) may be easily identified in case for any reason it is desired.
It will be seen that when made to hold a certain number of any coin my holder constitutes an automatic counter, as by reason of the rigidity of the ends, due to the metallic construction, no visible variation can occur in its length, as with the ordinary paper holders,in which the ends are simply crimped over.
My invention possesses many advantages over such forms of coin-holders as are in common use and will commend itself to the users of such articles. By reason of its great strength a package of coins may be thrown on a counter or dropped on the floor without danger of disarrangement, and this and the other features of advantage already set forth combine to enhance its value and to demonstrate its great advantages and superiority for the purpose.
By silvering, gilding, or coloring in any convenient manner the plate may-be so made as to signify the denomination of the contained coins, and this feature of construction may be amplified and varied within wide limits to the advantage of the article.
While I have shown the scalloped edges as cut out in the form of semicircles, it is obvious that any suitable form' may be used to good advantage, the object being to provide a series of narrow extensions which when bent inwardly will conform to the face of the end coins without wrinkling or crimping of the metal and in a smooth, even, and symmetrical manner.
Changes may be made in the shape, design, and proportions of my device without departing therefrom, and all such variations and modifications as will suggest themselves to the skilled mechanic I desire to include within the scope of my invention.
What I claim, and desire to secure byl etters Patent, is I 1. A coin-holder consisting of a rectangular metallic plate adapted to be bent around the coins into cylindrical form, and provided on the sides forming the ends of the holder with extensions or scallops adapted to be bent in- Wardly against the end coins, the plate being cut away so as to form at the bottoms and between said extensions or scallops recesses inside the bending-line for the purpose of pre venting buckling of the metal at the bendingline of the scallops.
2. A coin-holder consisting of a metallic plate adapted to be bent around a package of coins into cylindrical form, provided with individual separated extensions at each end contained therein, having a projecting tang at one side, a receiving-slot for the tang in the other side, and an auxiliary slot immediately adjacent to the tang and overlapping the same at each side thereof so as to form in effect a continuation of the space between the sides of the holder interrupted by the tang when the holder is placed around the coins, whereby the coins may be counted without disturbing the package.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 25th day of October, 1897.
DANIEL J. CABLE.
