Description
fggleiotrh grates against @ffira IMPROVED LOUK AND ALARM ATTACHMENT FOR MONEY-DRAWERS.
dip fitlgeimlc return it in than flutes gliitnit nut making out at the nine;
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I Be it known that I, J. H. WEAVER, of Columbus, in the county of Franklin, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Lock and Alarm Attachmentfor Money-Drawers and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others sltilledin the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a vertical longitudinal section of my invention.
Figure 2 is a bottom view of the same partly in section. 7 Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. i The object of this invention is to so arrange the lock of a money-drawer that the said drawer can be easily opened by all persons who are acquainted with its mechanism, while, when burglars, or others, not being acquainted with the 1node-of operating the same, try to open it, it will not only effectually resist all attempts; at opening, but an alarm willalso be sounded while suclran attempt is made. A- represents the covering plate of an ordinary table or counter, to which the guides'a a, for the drawer B to slide in, are secured. The drawer is made of wood, or other suitable material, in the usual manner, and is provided with a spring, Z), which is either attached to the side of the drawer or to abloek, 0, secured in the drawer. This spring presses against the plate A, and to the said plate is pivoted a lever, d, one end of which is connected by means of a string, 2, with the'bell G,-or any other alarm, which may be secured in any desired place. This lever is arranged on the plate A, so as to be in front of the spring 6 when the drawer is closed, the spring being so arranged that while the drawer is being closed it will pass without difliculty over the lever, but when an attempt is made to open the drawer while the spring is up the said-spring will come in contact Iwith the lever, and will press against it, whereby the alarmbell is rung; but the lever cannot be pushed aside sons to open the drawer. To enable the opening of the drawer without di'fiiculty, and without sounding the alarm, a string,f, is secured to the front end of the spring I), and passes down through the'bottoni of the drawer, then over a pulley, g, towards the front of the drawer,'where it is connected with a wire, K, which isguided by eyes or staples h arranged in the bottom of the drawer, all as shown in the drawings. T0 the front end of the wire K is secured a. handle, 2', as shown. By pulling the handle 1' forward the spring 6 is pulled down, and the drawer can then be opened with ease. The spring 6 not coming in contact with the lever d as seen as the handle 1.' is
released, thespring will again be raised, and will get'to the rear of thc'levcr das soon as the drawer is closed,
the arrangement being thus self-locking. The handle i and wire K are protected ina small box arranged at the bottom of the drawer, as shown. This box is closed by a swinging lid, l, which is pivoted to the casing at one of its rear corners, as shown in fig. 2. The front of the lid is provided with a handle, m, as shown. To the front edge of the lid Zis secured a spring or other catch, at, which, while the lid is closed, will engage over a projection or spring-catch, a, whichis secured to the inner side of the front board of the enclosing boiqas shown in fig. 1. It will therefore be necessary torelease the catches n and 0 from each other, which may be done in different manners, according to the construction of the catches, in order to be-abl'e to ,swing the lid I open; then the handlez'can be operated as set forth, and the drawer opened. It will be seen that the mechanism of the lock is very simple, and that it cannot very easily get out of order, for, to every one who understands and knows its construction, it will be very easy to open the drawer, while burglars, or others not knowing the mode of operating it, wouldbe unable to open the drawer, and would, in their efforts to do so, sound the alarm and betray themselves. V
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The lock, consisting of the spring 6, lever 01, string f and K, and handle 2 all made and, operating substantially as herein shown and described. i
2. The combination of the look, when made as herein shown apd described, with the bell C or other alarm, substantially asset forth.
. 3. The swinging lid 1, and catches n and 0, in eombinatipn with the aforesaid lock, and made and operating substantially as herein shown and described.
