Definitions

  • the machine (omprlses a series of keys a series of bell crank levers each operated by the depression of a key, a series of selective strlps one or more of which is positioned by the move-- ment-of a bell crank lever on the depression of a. key the positioning of the selective strips causing one or more of a series of pins to be moved along a rock shaft.
  • These pins are so mounted 011 the rock shaft that while they can be moved along it they must rotate with it rotation being imparted to the rock shaft on the depression of each key.
  • a series of ejector rods are so disposed that they an each be engaged and operated by one of the pins on the rock shaft when this pin has been moved along the rock shaft by the positioning ofthe selective strips.
  • each e ector rod can enter into one of a series of coin troughs and eject one -or more coins therefrom the coins conveniently falling thence into a chute or suitable receptacle.
  • each ejector rod :1 device whereby the end of the rod is caused to drop after a coin has been ejected so that the end of the rod is relieved from the weight of the pile of coins during its return movement this return movement being effected cithcr positively by the operation of the rock shaft. or by spring action.
  • the coin troughs arc conveniently all so mounted thatthcy can rcmovc together from the machine thus enabling the contents to be easily transferred either from one machine to anothcr or to a. safe this arrangcmcnt also facilitating refilling the coin troughs.

  • the apparatus described hereund is closed in by a casing which prevents unan thorized access being bad to the contents of the coin troughs and excludes dust but in the present description and illustrations this casing is omitted for the sake of elearness.
  • This casing may obviously vary in its construction and arrangementaccording to requirements.
  • the machine has a main frame comprising end plates A connected by a lonitndinal member A which carries the seliietive strips and by a second longitudinal member A which is of channel Section and.

  • Each selective st rip is conveniently formed of a flat piece of metal so that all the strips will lie side by side in the i'nanncr clearly illustrated in Iiigs. 1- and 5 and thus occupy a very small space laterally. Certain of hese strips are shorter than others.
  • the ends 01' the onger strips project through openings in each end plate A of the machine being carried at an intei mediate point by a bracket A on the longitudinal member A.
