fio all 'may concern: I Be it known that l, lsnmson NEFLNE, a citizen of the United States of America, 'fresiiiin net Fairview, in the county of Woods enti. Estate of kloiioine, nave invented neny Il and useful mpi'ovexnents in Coin @on trailed Looks, of which the Vfollowing e specification.

A keyhole 24 is formed in the easing, ande key 25 is adapttojoperete the bolt.

y lock may manner: A person desiring to have access to e room 'or compartment ,prcm'dedl with e with-my invention key, like 25, and this key inlock casing will not operate the bolt untilse ooin or check is inseitedfin the coin chute, le, forfthe reason that the flange flof the tumbler ,will move freely in the recess inthe bolt loutl wi1i-not operatetize holt. When-s coin e is inserted in the coin @linie Il, the 2o moving against the Wall L? of the keyhole recess 16 Wiii carry the bolo :onvveid to engage the keeper in the doei* fname 2. When the boltis. in locked position the gravity latch' 18 drops toengage the stop pin ll,v es shown Vin Fig. 2. The coin-supporting element 2l is dropped to Vthe position shown in Fig. 2,"ant the ngei 23 occupies e position between. the

be opeieted in the following wall 10 and the inner wall ofthe tumbler 13. When the key 25 is again inserted in the lock for the purpose of moving the bolt backward into the lock casing, the latch 18 is first raised by the key,'and then the tumbler 13 is moved backward within the casing', drawing with it the bolt and at the s'aine time bringing the coin-supporting element 2l back into horizontal position to cover the bottom of the coin recess 8. In this position the key will not again operate the bolt without the insertion of a coin inthe recess 8.

From the foregoing, it will be obvious that a lock made 1n accordance with my invention is of comparatively sim le construetion, can be manufactured at s ight cost, is composed of very few parts, cannot be op- :erated Without the use of a coin' and is verf)7 desirable and eiicient for its purpose.

1. A coincontrolled lock comprising a casing having a coin chute and a coin receiver, 'a bolt mounted in said casing, said 'bolt provided with a coin recess, a coin-supporting lever pivoted below said recess and said bolt beingy provided with a coin recess,

a pivoted coin support below said recess,

youd its pivotal point, a tumbler for moving said bolt, and a pivoted latch and stop for holding saidbolt in4 projected position.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature in presence of two witnesses. f
