`(IOlN-FlillED DELIVERY APPARATUS FOR PAPER` SHETS Oli PACKAGS;

v SPEClFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 730,382, dated June 9, 1903.

Application filed July 11, 1900. Serial No. 23,271. (No model.)

To all whom it r11/tty concern:

Be it known that I, ERNST MARTINI, manu- Jfacturer, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at v23Illartinstrassa in the city of Vienna, in the Empire of Austria-Hungary, have invented a certain new and useful Coin-Freed Delivery Apparatus for Paper Sheets o r Packages, of which .the following is a specitcation.

This invention has reference to automatic coin -freed delivery devices or apparatus which on the insertion of a coin of a certain denomination will deliver a package or paper sheetssuch as circulars, programs, reports of quotations or races, toilet-paper, and the like-the turning of a crank bythe purchaser causing the articleY to leave the apparatus, while the coin of corresponding value drops into a special receptacle.

My invention is represented in the accompanying drawings in a preferred form ot' construction. i

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in elevation of the apparatus with part of the casing removed. Fig. 2 shows the cover of the casing for the apparatus. Fig. 3 illustrates the operation of the various parts. Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the line C D of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a transverse section on the line A B of Fig. 1.

In the drawings the apparatus is shown as applied to the delivery of paper sheets which are pinned to a pointed knife 1, fastened to the metal plate 3, which at its upper edge is pivoted in the wallsof the casing 2. Springs 4 serve to push the plate r,'with the stack 5 of paper sheets or packages, against the walls of the casing and provided the casing is closed also against the rubber rollers and 12, mounted upon the door 6 of the casing. Fig. 4 of the drawings shows small bundles of toilet-paper with their free edges 8 pinned to the knife 1.. VThe rubber 'rollers 7 and 12 are mounted upon the shaft 9, journaled at 10 and llin the Walls of the casing. Next to the rubber roller 12 the shaft 9 is enlarged at 13. A longitudinal groove 14 is provided in the en larged portion of the shaft,to which is further connected a gear-wheel15 with sleeve 16, so as to be' displaced along the groove 14. Another shaft 17 is journaled in the cover 6 of the casing upon a level with the shaft A gearof the bent lever, with its projection 22,

reaches below the end of the coin-chute 23. A second bent lever 24, also pivoted tothe walls of the casing, with its projection 25, is so arranged that the coin can place itself between the projections 22 and 25, thereby ed'ectinga connection of the twobent levers 2l and 24.

, The coin is introduced in the slot 26 and is guided through the tube or chute 23 upon the projections 22 and 25. The purchaser then turns the crank 19, and thereby eects a rotation of the gear-wheel 18 in the direction indicated by the arrow; A pin 27, suitably secured to the VVsaidrgea'rfwheelTon .the

rotation of the same presses against the lower extremity of the bent lever 24, which movement, through the medium of the coin insorted between Athe two projections above mentioned, is transmitted to the other bent lever 21, which on. turning aboutits fulcrum throws the gear-wheel l5 into engagement with the gear-wheel 1S. This will cause the rotation of the shaft 9 and of the rubber rollers 7 and 12, which by their rotating movement will pull the package, bundle, or sheet of paper next to them ed the knife or pin 1, the package or the like being then delivered to the purchaser through the slot 2S, provided in the casing 2. As soon as the pin` 27 has passed beyond the extremity of the bent lever 24 the latter hy its momentum is brought hack into its former position, while the other bent lever 21 is retained in its position by the spring actuating pin or projec- Y former position Iand o'lit of engagement with the gearwheel 18.

v In order to obviate the necessity of turning the crank back each time, I provide a spring 32, one end of which is fastened to the shaft 17 and whose other extremity is attached to the cover of the casing and which is Wound up by tlie rotation of the crank 19. Upon the cra'nk being released after it has passed the right-hand stop 20 the spring 32 is-unwound, and thereby rotates the crank, so as toreturn it into its normal position.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent 'of the United States, is-

1. Coin-freed delivery apparatus comprising delivery-rollers, gearing upon the shaft of said rollers, a crank-shaft and gearing upon said crank-shaft, a piu or stop connected to the gearing of the crank-shaft, a bent lever in the path of said pin or stop and actuated upon the rotation of the latter, a second bent lever at such distance from the othei` bent lever as to allow of the retention of the coin between the respective extremities of the bent levers, a coupling on the shaft of the delivery-rollers and in' engagement with the sec'; ond bent lever and a tumbler connected to the crank-shaft to disengage the gearing and a spring to return the crank-shaft into its original position, substantially as described.

2. In a coin-freed delivery apparatus, in combination a crank-shaft, gearing in 'con'- nection with said crank-shaft, arotating pin operated by said crank-shaft, two bent le,- Vers for retaining the coin, one ot the said bent levers resting against the rotating pin, a displaceable sleeve in connection with said gearing, the forkedeshaped end of the other bent lever straddling said sleeve, whereby the said gearing may be thrown into enga-gement, means to disengage the gearing and a spring to return the crank to its original position, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my naine in the presence of two witnesses.

ERNST MARTINI.
