SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 611,544, dated September 27,

Application led November 23, 1897. Serial No. 659,587- (No model.)

To Ct/Z whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES J. VOLF, of Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and Improved Coin-Counter, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention is an apparatus for receiving money and for automatically making change upon the striking by the operator of a key denoting .the amount of the purchase.

This specication is the disclosure of one form of my invention, while the claims define the actual scope of the conception.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Fig. 18

is a fragmentary View, partly in section,

showing the two-dollar-note receptacle and the means operated by said note-receptacle for adjusting the ejector-plates. Fig. 19 is a detail view of the sectional shafting for adjusting the ejector-plates, and Fig. 20` is a section on the line 20 2O in Fig. 19.

. The machine is mounted on a central baseplate 2l and on two side base-

plates

22 and 23. The main or central base-plate 21 supports a casing 24, wherein is contained the mechanism for receiving and ejecting coin. The end plate 22 carries the five-dollar and ten-dollar note receptacles, and the end plate 23 carries the one-dollar and two-dollar note receptacles.

I will first describe the means for receiving the coin and for ejecting fromjthe casing 24 the requisite change. Formed in the plates of the casing 24 are five glass-faced

coinstacks

25, 26, 27, 2S, and 29, respectively designed to receive dimes, nickels, quarters, halves, and dollars in coin. The coin are introduced into the coin-stacks through openings in the tops thereof. At the base of the .coin-stack 25 two ejeetor-p1ates 30 are arranged. The plates are mounted to slide horizontally on a bed-plate 31 and are superposed one upon the other, each ejector-plate having an opening capable of receiving a dime, so that as the ejector-plates aremoved outward one dime will be discharged for each plate. A shelf 32 is held rigidly at the front of the machine to receive the coin thus ejected. At the base of the stack 2G two ejector-plates 33, similar to the plates 30, are arranged. At the base of the stack 27 one ejector-plate 34, similar to the previouslydescribed ej coter-plates, is arranged. At the base of the stack 28 one ejector-plate 35 is arranged, and at the base of the stack 29 four ejector-plates 36 are arranged. These ejector-plates are shown collectively in Figs. 1 and 2.

Each ejector-plate is provided with a box 37. In coin-stacks where there are more than one ejector-plate the boxes 37 are offset laterally, so that the ejectorplates will be ar ranged in a pile one above the other and so that the boxes will all slide on the bed-`plate 31 in the same horizontal plane. This arrangement is illustrated best in Fig. 2. The coin-stack 2G for nickels is provided with two IOO ejector-plates, and consequently with two boxes 37. Fig. 7 shows one of the boxes 37 in detail. In this box is a vertically-movable locking-pin 38, that is normally entered in a vertical passage 39, formed in the bed-plate 31, whereby the particular box 37 and the attached slide 30 are locked to the bed-plate. A sliding pin 40 is held loosely in the passage 39, so as to be capable of engaging the pin 38 and pressing the same upward to release the ejector-plate 33 that is concerned with the pin 38. The pin 40 is raised by a lever 41, fulcrumed beneath the bed-plate, and actuated in turn by a rod 42, that is vertically slidable in the bed-plate and provided with a rounded head engaged by a cam 43 on the bottom of a sliding plate 44. The plate 44 is mounted in the top of the coin-stack25,which is for dimes, and when a coin is pushed into the stack the plate 44 is moved rearward, the rod 42 is depressed, and the lever 41 is rocked to release the pin 38. There are two ejectorplates 33 for the coin-stack 26, but only one is controlled by the plate 44 of the coin-stack 25. The other ejector-plate 33 acts with mechanism to be hereinafter described. Now, when a dime is inserted into the stack 25 it may sometimes be desired to obtain one nickel for change. Consequently the abovedescribed mechanism is provided, and this mechanism upon the insertion of the dime releases the said one of the ejector-plates 33 and permits one nickel to be obtained from the machine by certain key mechanism that4 will receive description hereinafter.

All of the boxes 37, with the exception of the one for the ejector-plates 33 and which has been just described, are normally unlocked from the bed-plate 31 in contradistinction to being normally locked to the bedplate, as is the case with the box 37 having the pin 38 therein. Said boxes are provided with means by which they may be locked with the bed-plate to prevent the operation of the ejector-plates to which they are attached. The means consist, as shown in Figs. 13, 14, 15, and 1 7, of a spring-pressed pin 45, vertically movable in each box 37, (with the single exception of the box 37 having the pin 38.) Each pin 45 is capable of moving downward against the spring to engage a recess in the bed-plate 3l. In order to hold the pins 45 in their lowered position, I provide a springpressed dog 46, that engages over the tops of collars arranged one on each pin 45. Consequently when the pins 45 are pushed downward the dogs 46 automatically engage with the said collars to hold the pins 45 downward and in locked position on the bed-plate.

Mounted to slide transversely and arranged horizontally within the casing 24 is a carriage-bar 47, connected with a link 68, in turn connected to a lever 49. The lever 49 is operated by a horizontally-sliding push-bar 50, the front end of which projects through the front side of the casing 24. The carriage-bar 47 is provided with a series of holes respectively adapted to receive the pins 45. The pins 45 are normally engaged with the carriage-bar 47, so that as the carriage-bar is drawn outward by the retractile springs 48 the boxes 37 which have their pins 45 engaged with the carriage-bar 47 will be moved outward with the carriage-bar, and the attached ejector-plates will be pushed outward, as shown with reference to one plate in Fig. 13, whereby a coin is discharged. Fig. 13 shows one of the ejector-plates 36 of the dollar-coin stack 29 pushed outward to deliver one dollar upon the shelf 32, which operation is accomplished by the connection of one of the boxes 37 of the series that are attached to the plates 36 with the carriage-bar 47.

The upper end of each coin-

stack

26, 27, 28, and 29 is provided with a horizontallymovable slide-plate 51, similar to the slideplate 44, excepting that no cams are attached to the plates 51. The slide-

plates

44 and 51 respectively engage forwardly spring-pressed arms 52. A rigid shaft 57 carries four

loose sleeves

53, 54, 55, and 56. The contiguous ends of each sleeve are mortised into each other, so that the sleeve 56 when rocked by the rearward movement of the attached arm 52 will not communicate movement to the sleeve 55, so that the sleeve 55 when moved rearward will communicate its movement to the sleeve 56, but not to the sleeve 55, so that the sleeve 54 when moved rearward will communicate its movement to the sleeve 53, and consequently to the sleeve 56, but not to the sleeve 53, and so that the sleeve 53 when moved rearward will not communicate its movement to the sleeve 54. The arms 52 that are devoted to the coin-stacks 25 and 26 are attached to the sleeve 53, the arm 52 of the coin-stack 27 is attached to the sleeve 54, the arm 52 of the coin-stack 28 is attached to the sleeve 55, and the arm 52 of the coin-stack 29 is attached to the sleeve 56. has three arms 58 rigidly attached thereto and projecting rearwardly therefrom. The sleeve 54 has a single arm 59, similar to the arms 58. The sleeve 55 has a single arm 60, similar to the arms before mentioned, and the sleeve 56 has four arms 61, also similar to the arms before mentioned. There are nine boxes 37, having each a pin 45, and there are nine

arms

58, 59, 60, and 6l, respectively coacting with vertically-movable rods 62, held in a tubular frame-bar 63, which in turn is held rigidly by the casing 24 horizontally above the normal position of the carriage-bar 47. Each rod 62 is held up by a spring contained within the bar 63. The rearward movement of the arms 52 rocks their several sleeves and in turn transmits a downward movement to the

appropriate arms

58, 59, 60, and 61, which in turn move downward certain of the rods 62. These rods 62, as shown best in Fig. 13, pass through the carriage-bar 47 and push the pins 45 downward out of engagement with the carriage-bar and into engagement with the bed-plate 31 of the three arms 58. Two of such The sleeve 53 IOO IIO

arms refer to the ejector-plates 30, while the third arm 5S acts with the second ejectorplate 53 or that plate which is not affected by the slide-plate 44.

Mounted at the forward portion of the machine are a series of spring-pressed keys 64. Each key 64 engages the leg 65 of a certain tumbler-plate. Each tumbler-plate consists in a leg 65, a horizontal body portion 66, and a certain combination of upwardly-extending projections 67, standing on the body portion 66. The tumbler-plates are held to slide vertically in guides secured to the interior walls of the casing 24. Rocking on a transverse shaft 63a are a series of levers 69. These levers 69 respectively engage the rods 62, so that upon the operation of the levers 69 the rods 62 will also be operated. The combinations of projections 67 on the tumbler-plates is such as causes certain of the series of projections to engage certain of the levers 69. The keys 64 are provided with numbers ranging from 5 to 95 and representing cents,and from l to 5 and representing dollars. Each key moves up a certain tumbler-plate, and the combination of projections 67 on that certain tunibler-plate moves downward such rod 62 as will lock with the bed-plate 31 all of the boxes 37 excepting those boxes which are attached to the ejector-plates that will give from `the machine change from the amount of money that was inserted in the machine. For example, assuming that fifty cents is tendered in payment of a thirty-cent purchase the fifty-cent coin is inserted in the stack 28,which pushes rearward the corresponding plate 5l and throws the sleeve 55 rearward. This also turns the sleeve 56 rearward, which results in locking to the bed-plate the ejector-plates for the coin-

stacks

28 and 29. The ejectorplates of the other coin-stacks areileft free to move. The change to be taken must be derived from the stacks 25, 26, and 27 and, with reference to the above-cited example, never from the

stacks

28 and 29. Now the operator presses down the key 64 having the number 30 thereon. This key lifts a certain tumbler-plate, which tumbler-plate has such a combination of projections 67 thereon that the levers 69 which are related to the coinstacks 26 and 27 are moved to` throw down the corresponding pins 62 and lock the ejectorplates of the stacks 26 and 27. This leaves unlocked the ej ector-plates of the single coinstack25, which contains the dimes. There are two ejector plates for the dime coin stacks. Consequently when the rod 50 is pushed inward the carriage-bar 47 is moved forward, driving with it only the ejectorplates of the stack 25, and consequently discharging two ten-cent pieces, which is twenty cents and which makes the change of fifty cents on a thirty-cent purchase. The machine is so constructed that normally upon pushing inward the bar 56 coin will be ejected from every coin-stack excepting the coinstack to which the pin 38 is related. When a coin is inserted and when change is to be secured, the above-described mechanism operates to lock suoli of the ejector-plates as are unnecessary and to leave unlocked those ejector-plates which will give out the proper coin in change. As the carriage-bar 47 moves outward it has no effect upon the dogs 46; but when the carriage-bar moves inward iingers 70, having a knuckle-joint connection with the bar, engage the several dogs 46 and disconnect the same from the pins 45. Consequently all of the pins 45 are moved upward out of engagement with the bed-plate 3l and again into engagement with the carriage-bar 47. The rod 50 is provided with a stud 7l, that upon the inward movement of the rod operates an alarm-bell 72. A spring 73 presses the rod 50 inward. The rod 50 has a projection 74 extending downward and normally engaging a spring-lifted lock-plate 75. The locking-plate 75 is in connectionwith the keys 64 by means of a downwardly-extending portion 67. (Shown in Figs. l and 2.) As the keys 64 are moved downward the plate 75 is also moved downward, and the rod 50, by the action of the spring 73 and the springs on the arms 52, is drawn rearward, so as to operate the carriage-bar 47. This operation of the carriage-bar 47 is also assisted by the springs 4S. The above description being of the means for handling the coin does not extend to the means for handling the paper notes. I vwill now describe the mechanism for receiving the notes and for giving the change therefrom.

The note-receptacles are designed for onedollar, two-dollar, five-dollar, and ten-dollar notes. The one-dollar and two-dollar receptacles are arranged one aboveV the other and consist each in a stationary shell 77, which are held to end heads 78, attached to a standard 79, secured on the base-plate 23. A shaft SO runs horizontally through each shell 77. These shafts 8O are shown with their outer ends broken away in the drawings, but these outer ends in practice may be made to carry the work or other device by which the shafts may be turned. Each shaft also has a ratchetwheel 81,'pressed by a pawl 82, which prevents retrograde movement of the shafts. Fixed to the shafts are the respective pocketed drums 83, which are exposed by openings 84 in the shells 77, and the detail construction of which will be described hereinafter with reference to the five-dollar and ten-dollar receptacles. The inner ends of the pocketed drums S3 are respectively provided with

heads

85 and 87, that turn with the note-receptacles and with the shafts 80. The heads S5 and 87 are provided with pins S6, projecting toward the casing 24.' The pins S6 on the head 85 are designed to engage an arm SS, fixed on the sleeve 56,'which is projected through one wall of the casing 24 to permit such an arrangement. Consequently as the head 85 is turned in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig.. 16 the arm 8S will be rocked, as the dotted lines in said figure show, andthe sleeve 56 will be IOO IIO

thrown rearward to lock the ejector-plates of the stack 29, for if one dollar is tendered to make a payment no change over one dollar will ever need be given. The pins 86 of the head 87 are designed to engage With an arm 89, fixed on a short shaft mounted in one side of the casing 24 and carrying Within the casing 24 an arm 90, which in turn carries a bar 91, that engages under three of the levers 69 of the four levers 69 that are related to the stack 29, so that as a two-dollar bill is inserted within the two-dollar receptacle the arm 89 will be operated, which will throw upward the arm 90 and the bar 91 and cause three of the ejector-plates in the stack 29 to be locked, leaving unlocked a single ejector-plate in the stack 29, which enables change of any amount lower than tWo dollars to be taken from the machine. When a note is inserted in either of the one-dollar or two-dollar pocketed drums 83, such drums are turned one pocket by turning the shafts 80, which also turns the pins 86 and consequently causes the above-described operation to take place With reference to the coin-ejector plates.

The five-dollar and ten-dollar note receptacles have no connection with the coin-stacks. These receptacles have such connection with each other so that upon placing a ten-dollar note within its receptacle a five-dollar note may be withdrawn. The five-dollar and tendollar note receptacles have shafts 92, fixed in a standard 93 on the base-plate 22 and in the casing 24. Rigid exterior shells 94 inclose the shafts 92 and have heads 95, connected with the standard 93, so that the shells and heads are held rigid. Mounted to turn loosely on each shaft 92 is a sleeve 96. The sleeves 96 are provided With radial partitions 97, forming pockets in which the notes are placed. The note-receptacles for one dollars and two dollars are the same as those for five dollars and ten dollars. The shells 94 are provided with openings 98, through Which the notes may be passed. Each sleeve 96 is provided With a crank arm 99, by which the sleeves may be turned, While the upper sleeve,

. or that in the ten-dollar-note receptacle, is

provided with a ratchet-disk 100 and pawl101 to prevent back movement of the parts. Vhen a ten-dollar note is inserted Within the appropriate receptacle, the crank 99 of the ten-dollar receptacle is turned to advance the sleeve 96 sufficiently to turn one partition 97 past the opening 98. This also turns the gear 102, which gear is fixed to the sleeve 96 of the ten-dollar-note receptacle. This transmits movement to the gear 103, Which is loose on the shaft 96 of the iive-dollar-note receptacle. The gear 103 has an internal ratchet 104, engaged by a pawl105, which is loosely carried on an arm 106, fixed to the shaft 96 of the five dollar note receptacle. Through the means of this pawl 105 and arm 106 the turning of the gear 103 turns the partitions 97 of the five-dollar-note receptacle one point, so that as ten dollars is inserted and the notereceptacle revolved to secure the ten-dollar a live-dollar note is uncovered and may be taken from the machine for change. When a five-dollar note is inserted, the pawl 105 permits the partitions 97 of the five-dollarnote receptacle to be turned to secure the fivedollar note; but this turning of the five-dollar-note receptacle does not infiuence the tendollar note receptacle. When five dollars and ten dollars are inserted in the machine, if it be necessary to take change smaller than the five dollars this may be done by operating the one-dollar and two-dollar note receptacles, which will also open for operation the coin-receptacles.

A series of levers 107 are mounted in the upper portion of the casing 24 and are provided with plates 108, on which numbers are produced indicating the amount of the purchase. These levers 107 are operated by rods 109 in connection with the levers 69, and the arrangement is such that when a certain lever 69 is operated the proper amount Will be shown, by means of the plates 83, through an opening 110 formed in the front of the casing 24. The rods 109 are also in connection with a suitable recorder 111, that keeps a record of the transactions of the machine.
