Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented m '21, 1908.
Application filed August 20, 1907. Serial No. 389,361.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that'I, LAWRENCE ZAMBONI,
a citizen of the United States, residing in New York, borough of Manhattan, county and State of New York, have made a new and useful Invention in Coin-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is directed particularly to an improvement in coin carriers for transporting coins by mail, and it has for its objects, First, to provide a cheap, simple and efficient carrier which shall be as light and possess as great strength as possible. Sec 0nd, to provide a coin carrier which shall, on inserting the coin, yieldingly adjust itself in such manner as to safely transport either new or old and worn coins of like denomination with equal facility and security.
My invention willbe fully understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, in which,
Figure 1 is a plan view of a card designed to be inclosed in an envelop and having one of my novel coin carriers secured thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view illustrating the coin carrier complete; and Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken through Fig. 2, showing also in dotted lines a supporting card, the clenching toes being shown in full lines and also in dotted lines after being closed upon the card which supports it. I
Prior to myinvention coin carriers had been devised in which the coin was heldin place in an opening in the body of a piece of card-board which was backed on one side with paper secured thereto by mucilage or other adhesive material an additional piece of paper being similarly provided for the opening on the front side, but attached at one end only to the card and having mucilage at the other end and around its inner edges for securing it directly to the card after the coin has been put in place, the opening in the card being the exact size of the coin to be transported. Such carriers, owing to the frailty of the supporting material, sometimes permit the coin to be released and lost during transportation through the mails, either through rough handling, or by reason of the fact that the mucilage or other adhesive agent becomes moistened to such an extent as to allow the paper retaining parts to fall off the carrying card.
My invention contemplates the use of a metallic support for coins which shall be of such a construction that it may be expanded in the direction of the diameter thereof so as to admit of the insertion of coins of different size, although of the same denomination; as for instance, either new coins or old coins, the latter often becoming so worn in use as to materially diminish in diameter. It contemplates also the provision of means for securing said metallic carrier directly to a carrying card in such a manner that by no possibility can the carrier be released or detached from the card after it has once been inclosed in an envelop for transportation.
Referring now to the drawings in detail and first to Figs. 2 and 3, 1 represents a sheet metal ring made preferably of some light strong metal, such as aluminum, the same being constructed by dies so that it is provided with an inwardly inclined or beveled crimp 2, the lower or bottom internal diameter of which is substantially the same as the diameter of a new coin of any definite denomination; say a 50 ct. coin, the outer internal diameter being relatively sufficiently small to hold any coin of the same denomination, no matter how much it may be worn by age and use. This sheet metal ring, in the process of construction, is formed also with a radial opening 4, for permitting of the expansion and contraction of the carrier during the insertion of the coin therein or the withdrawal therefrom. It is also provided with means in the nature of two or more radially disposed clenching toes 3, 3, for securing it to a card 5 in the manner shown in full lines Fig. 1 and dotted lines Fig. 3.
In the use of this coin carrier, after it has been attached to the supporting card 5, a coin 6 is inserted by simply snapping or pressing it firmly into the carrying chamber made by the beveled crimp 2 in the manner shown in Fig. 3. Owing to the structural nature of the crimp 2 and the opening 4 the coin will snap suddenly into position when sufficient pressure is applied and the crimp will lock or hold it in a manner which will at once be obvious to those skilled in the art.
I do not limit my invention to'the specific structural form hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, as a number of the features thereof might be departed from and still come withm the sco e of 'my claims hereinafter made. To ma e a single illustration, when the carrier is made of thin aluminum it may be in the nature of a card and so located that the opening 4 is at one of the lateral end edges thereof; or, such a card might be constructed of this kind of metal with one such carrier at each end and side; or, a number of such carriers along the sides as will be readily sug gestive to those skilled in the art, and each of such carriers might be adapted to sustain coins of different denominations.
Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1'. As an article of manufacture a disk shaped coin carrier provided with eXpansible holding means on one face thereof, adapted to hold the coin by frictional engagement with one face of the coin near its outer edge only substantially as described.
2. As an article of manufacture a diskshaped coin carrier provided with inwardly inclined holding means on one face thereof, adapted to hold the coin by frictional engagement with one of its faces and near its outer edge only, substantially as described.
3. As an article of manufacture a diskshaped coin carrier provided with holding means on one face thereof having substantially the, conformation or shape of the coin and adapted to hold the same by frictional engagement with one face thereof near its outer edge only, substantially as described.
4. As an article of manufacture a coin careaseo rier embracing a flat metallic disk provided with an inwardly inclined crimp adapted to hold the coin when snapped or pressed into the carrier, substantially as described.
5. As an article of manufacture a coin car rier embracing a relatively thin metal disk provided with a holding crimp, and means for securing said carrier to a card for transportation, substantially as described.
6. As an article of manufacture a coin carrier embracing a metallic disk provided with an inwardly inclined holding crimp, and so constructed as to expand on insertion of a coin, said carrier also having means for securing it to a card, substantially as described.
7. Means for transporting coins, embracing a card and a carrier provided with an inwardly inclined coin holding crimp, and means for securing it to the card; said carrier having a radial opening at one side for permitting it to expand when a coin is placed in position therein, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
LAWRENCE ZAMBONI.
