Fig. the same into the same slot and working a 55 9 is another view of the mechanism shown single lever after the insertion of each coin,

the lever being operated the same distance for each coin indiscriminately. The mechanism is not only adapted to register coins as set fort-h, but to lock the bank and prevent any opening of the door thereof until a predetermined amount of money has been Placed in the bank.

In order that the invention may be more clearly understood an embodiment of the same is shown in the accompanying drawings in which 1 indicates a housing or bank of any desiredstructure as may be desired. Housing 1 is rovided with a door 2 mounted upon suitable hinges 3. The door 2 has positioned on the interior thereof a sliding bolt or hinge member 4' positioned in slide wa s 5. The bolt of member 4 is preferably bi urcated or arranged with the arms or bifurcations thereof spaced a considerable distance apartso as to lock the door at a plurality of oints. Sliding member or bolt 4 is provide with lugs ,or turned-up member-s6 for receiving an arm 7 formed integral with or rigidly se cured to a disk shaped member 8 which is pivotally mounted upon door 2. A bolt or connecting member 9 is rigidlysecured to disk 8 and extends through door 2 and is rigidly secured to or formed integral with a disk shaped member 10 and knob 11. Knob 11 is provided for unlocking the door when the same is not held in a locked position by the registering mechanism.

1 Rigildly connected with disk 8 is an arm 12 w 'ch extends beyond door 2, and engages part'of housing 1 whenever the door is closed. When the door 2 is closed, knob 11 may be turned which will cause disk 8 to be moved and lever 7 to act against one of the lugs6 for forcin out bolt 4 for engaging the housin 1. fiy the arrangement of lever. 12 and t. e bifurcation of'bolt 4 the door is locked against opening at three points,- and cannot be opened even if hinges 3 are entirely removed. vThe outer end of lever 12 is arranged to be positioned in bifurcation 13 of a pivotallymoun'ted connecting member 14. Pivotally mounted connecting member 14 is arra ed to be pivoted at 15 to the side or edge d f late 24, and to extend from the front of the housing or bank 1 to the rear, so as to connect the locking mechanism with the registering mechanism. Lever 14 is formed Wlth an extension 16 which is arranged to enga e end 17 of a register locking lever 18. T e register locking lever. 18 is provided with lugs or teeth 1!) and 20 for engaging the registering mechanism as will be hereinafter more fully described, whereby the lever may be moved for conveying motion to lever 14 for un. locking the dooror locking the door, as may be desired.

Associated with. the locking mechanism M setforth is a registering mechanism that acts as a registering mechanism and also means for operating the locking mechanismv The registering mechanism has a casing 21 having a front plate 22 and a base plate 23',' together with

edge plates

24 and 25. Journaled in front plate 22 and base plate 23 are a plurality of

shafts

26, 27 and 28. Shaft 26 carries a disk 2 upon which numerals are placed to indicate dollars, disk 29 being known as the dollar disk. Associated with the dollar disk 29 is'a one-cent disk 30 arranged substantlally on the same plane and secured to shaft 28. Positioned intermediate disks '2!) and 30 is a ten-centdisk 31 that is the disk with numerals placed thereon for indicating whenever a ten-cent piece has been registered. The ten-cent uisk is ri idly secured to shaft. 27 and is movable thereby. tigidly secured to shaft 28 which carries the one-cent disk is a lantern wheel 32 which is operated when a one-cent piece has been placed in the machine for registering the same, and also is operated for re istering a -1ivecent piece or five cents out o a quarter when a quarter has been placed in the register. When it is desired to register a one-cent piece the same is inserted into a slot 33 (Fig.

13) which guides the coin into a receiving sliding member 34. Lever 35 is depressed 'and mechanism hereinafter fully described will be operated for engaging lantern wheel- 32 for turning the same one-tenth of a revolution. T his will cause disk 30 to turn onetenth of a revolution and register the oneeent piece. If a ten-cent piece is inserted in slot 33 lever 35isoperated and a different set of mechanism will be operated for rotating one-tenth of a revolution shaft 27 and disk 31. When a twenty-five cent pieceis inserted through slot 33 and lever 35 is depressed lantern wheel 32 will be rotated a one-half revolution for registering five cents of the quarter, and then mechanism hereinafter fully described will be operated for causing shaft 27 to rotate two-tenths of a revolution, whereby twenty cents is registered. Thus it will be seen that when a quarter is inserted the one \cent piece mechanism is operated for registering five one-cent pieces, and the ten-cent mechanism is oper-- ated for registering two ten-cent pieces, so that the total registration upon the'insertion of a quarter is twenty-five cents. The tencent disk 31 is connected with dollar disk 29, as hereinafter fully described, so that when the same has made one revolution the dollar disk 29 will be moved forward or partially rotated sufiicientlv for indicating the next' succeeding higher number for indicating that a dollar has passed through the register. In" order that the'operation, as well as the construction of each part of the registering mechanism," may be more fully understood, the various parts will be described a operated in connection with the respective "ins inserted. First, assume'that a one-cent piece has been passed. through slot 33. The same will engage up-turned portions 36 of sliding member 34 and will be held in proponengagement therewith by base plate 23 and a coin guiding plate 37. After the C0111 has taken. this position lever 35 is depressed, .which upon bein depressed will engage a pivotally mounted connecting lever 38. The pivotally mounted connecting lever 38 is pi'votally mounted at 39 to the base plate 23, and extends from lever 35 which merely slides up and down one side of the housing 2] in: suitable guides to the opposite side of the housing for engaging a coin ejecting member 40. Coin ejectlng member 40 is pivotally mounted at all to slide 34 so that any sliding movement of member 40 will cause slide 34 to he moved accordingly. In order to' permit a sliding movement of slide 34 base plate 23 is slotted at 42, Fig. 12, for per-- mitting proper movement of the ejecting member 40. As soon as lever 35 is depressed and connecting lever 38 begins to act on ejecting member 40 the same will be caused to move slightly upon pivot- 41 and cause and 43 to press againstthe one-cent piece just inserted through slot 33. This pressure against the coin will continue until the coin has been raised abovcthe guiding plate 37 as shown in Fig. '16, whereupon the continued pressure on ejecting member 40 will cause point +3 to force the coin out of the register into the housing 1. After slide 34 has moved upward a short distance the coin will]. engage a sliding coin operated bar-4:4. and upon the continued upward movement oi' the slide 04 and coin will be raised a cor-.

responding distance. As will be evident at onc-ccnt p ece will raise the coin sliding bar .44 a certain distance, a ten-cent piece a different distance, and a twei'ity-five-cent piece a still ditl'erent distance. After the onecent piece has been {inserted through slot 33 and lever 35 depressed the mechanism just set forth will be operated and sliding bar it moved upward a short distance. Dar all is formed with a depending arm 45 which has sccurci'l thereto :1 lug 46 which acts as a cam or engaging a cam 47 upon pivotally mounted plate 48. Arm 45 is provided with pins it). il and 51 respectively which project through base plate 23 and operate various mechanisms as hereinafter fully described, for registering a ten-cent piece or a a twenty-five-cent piece. Arm 4,5 is also provided with a pin which is permitted a certain amount of loose motion in a recess 53 formed in apivotally mounted lever'54 which will be hereinafter termed the twentyfive-cent lever, as the lever is operated when. .is being the twenty-five-cent mechanism operated. As the one-cent piece pushes sliding bin 44 upward, together with its arm 45, cam 46 will press against cam 47 and move plate-48 upon its pivotal securing member 55. ,llat-e will be moved upon its pivotal securing member 55' from the position shown in Figs. 4 and 8 until the same takes the position shown in Fig. 9. This movement will not affect the twenty-fivecent lever 54; which is not moved until a five or tWenty-l'ive-centpiece is being regis- .tered. The movement of plate 48 to this extent will cause hook 56-to engage one of the teeth or pins of lantern wheel 32 and turn the lantern wheel a one-tenth of a revolution as hook 56 is pivotally mounted at 57 to a pivotally mounted arm 48, which in turn is pivotally secured at 48 to base plate 23. Pivotally mounted arm 48 is provided with a projection 49 which is formed with an opening 49" for accommodating pin 50 secured to plate 48. Hook 56 is formed with alug 58 which engages the lantern wheel 32 for assisting in preventing any movement thereof until positively movedl Plate 18 also is formed with a lug 59 which has one tern wheel for preventing any movement of the lantern wheel until plate {18 has been moved upon its pivotal member 55. After the oue-cent-piecehas moved sliding bar 44 as far upward as possible, the one-cent-piece will be ejected by ejector 40 and sliding bar 44 will he pern'iitted to assume its original position, shown in Fig. 4, .under the action of spring (30 which is secured to a lug 61 that passes through base plate 23 and is either rigidly secured to sliding 'bar etl, or formed integral therewith. Upon the return of sliding bar it cam 4-6 will also return to its original position and permit pivotally mounted plate 48 to assume its original position, as shown in Fig. 4E, and lug 59 to engage lantern wheel 32. Upon moving lantern wheel 32 by hook shaft. 28 will be moved a onetenth of a revolution and also disk 30 as disk 30 is rigidly secured toshai't 2S and shaft 28 is rigidly secured to lantern wheel 232. Disk 30 is known as the cent-disk and has provided on the face thereof numerals from zero to nine. \Vhen a second onearent piece has been inserted through slot 3 and lever 35 operated the same mechanism will be moved and eventually lantern Wheel. 32 will be rotated a one-tenth of a revolution which will rotate disk 30 also a one-tenth of a revolut-ion. which will indicate that'another one-cent piece has becn deposited in the bank. Afternine one-centpieces have been deposited successively into the bank and registered in the manner just set forth, disk lever 30 will have been rotated nine-tenths of a revolution which will bring projection 62 inproximity to a star wheel 63 which is rigidly secured to shaft 27 so that when star wheel 63 is moved disk 31 will be moved. I

Disk'31 is known as the dime or ten-centa disk? When the tenth one-cent-piece has been inserted through slot 33 and'the lever 35 depressed the one-cent registering mechanism will be operated as above set forth for rotating one-cent disk 30 a. one-tenth of a revolution. This will cause pin 62 to engage a projection 64 of an esca ment lever 65 for raising the cam'66 out o engagement with star wheel Star wheel 63 is arranged with ten points or teeth and when.

' cam 66 has been raised out ofengagement with wheel 63 bypin 62 projection 64 will engage oneoathe points or teeth of wheel 63 and-move e same a one-tenth of a revolution. After pin 62 has thus moved escapement lever 65 a spring 67 will again force cam 66- into engagement with wheel 63 for preventing any further movement thereof.

By this mechanism it will be observed that v the tenth one-cent piece willcause the dime or ten-cent disk tomove a one-tenth of 'a revolution, which will indicate that adime or ten cents has been deposited in the bank, I

and at the same time the zero mark will appear opposite opening 68 in place of the nu meral 9 which had indicated before. that nine -one-cent pieces had been deposited. Upon the insertion of a ten cent piece through slot 33 and the depression of lever 35 slide 34 will raise the ten-cent-piece and ejector 40 will press upon the under side the'reof until the ten-cent-piece has been finally ejected as shown in Fig. 16,'a retaining member or overhanging lip 68 preventing the removal of the coin'until. properly ejected. This upward movement of the tencent-piece will move sliding bar 44 upward in a similar manner to the way a one-centpiece moves sliding bar 44 upward, but for a shorter distance. Arm 45 will be moved upward by'the ten-cent-piece in a similar manner to the way it is raised by the onecent piece, except for a shorter distance, and plate 48 will be moved similarly but for a shorter distance than when a one-.eent-piece is inserted. Upon the movement of plate 48 a pivotally mounted arm 70 will be moved longitudinally. Arm 70 is provided with a pin 71 which projects through aperture 72 in plate 48 and also through a cut out portion of base plate through a guiding disk 74 and is arranged'to move in

slots

75,76 and 77. Upon the longitudinal movement of arm 70 pin 71 moves past one of the teeth of ratchet wheel 78 and takes a position in slot 77. Upon the "ten-cent-piece being ejected and plate 48 78 is rigidly secured tos'haft 27 so that when pin 71 moves ratchet wheel 78 the dis- Pin 71 also projectstance of one tooth, shaft 27 will be rotated a one-tenth of a revolution. T en-cent disk 31 is rigidly secured to shaft 27 so that when shaft 27 has been turned a onetenth of. a revolution the ten-cent disk 31 will be moved forward one number for indicating that ten cents has been deposited in the bank. In

registering a ten-cent-piece arm 45 will not move upward as far as when registering a one-cent piece so that pin 50 will not engage a shoulder portlon 9 upon guldmg d sk 74. \Vhen 'a one-cent-piece is being registered the arm 45 will move up sufiiciently far for engaging shoulder portion 79 and move the guiding disk 74 to the position shown in Fig. 14. \Vhen disk 74 is in this position pin 71 may return to its original position upon a return mo\ ementof plate 48 without engaging any of the teeth on wheel 78, so that only a one-cent-piece will be registered.

\Vhen it is desired to register a quarter in the bank the same is inserted and lever 35 depressed. There is no separate system of mechanism for registering a quarter but when a quarter has been deposited in the bank and lever 35 depressed two ten-cent pieces will be registered and five one-cent pieces, so that the registration will show twenty-five cents as having been registered. Upon the depression of lever 35 the twentyfive-cent-piece will be raised in a similar manner as the one-cent-piecc or ten-centpiece, but by reason of its size will raise sliding bar 44 a greater distance than either of the other coins heretofore registered. This upward movement of sliding bar 44 will move arm 45 which in turn will cause cam 46 to move plate 48 upon its pivot the same distance as if a one-cent-piece had been inserted into the bank. This pivotal movementof plate 48 will act, upon pivotally mounted bar 48 and

cause hook

5,6 to move lantern wheel 32 a one-tenth of a revolution.

Upon the continued upward movement of arm 45 pin 52 will engage quarter lever 54 and move the same to substantially the po-;

sition shown in Fig. 7. This will cause pivotally mounted plate 80 to move downward and as the same moves downward the hook shaped projections 81 on hookarm 82 will engage the pins of lantern wheel 32 and rotate lantern wheel 32 two-tenthsof a revolution. Upon plate 80 reachingjts extreme downward movement a tooth 8? projecting therefrom engages lantern wheel 32 for preventing any accidental movement thereof. Upon the. ejecting of the twenty-five-cent piece by ejector 40 plate 80 will be permitted to assume its 'original position,.as shown in full lines in Fig. 4, which will cause tooth 83" to be disengaged fronrwheel32*aiid will cause hook S4 to engage wheel 32 and move the same two-tenths of a revolution. Itwill be evident this will register-on the one-cent disk which will consequently show that an amount equal to five one-cent pieces has been inserted. At the same time that plate .will register on the ten-cent disk the factthat an amount equal to two ten-cent pieces has been inserted into the bank: Upon the first movement of plate i8 outward arm 70 is moved bodily in a longitudinal direction and pin 71 is moved for beinginia position to engage wheel 78 if either slot- 75 or 77 is in position for permitting pin 71 to engage the wheel. Upon the upward movement of arm when forced upward by the twentyfive-cent piece. pin will engage shoulder 79 and partially rotate guiding disk 74 to sul'istantially.the position shown in Fig. 14. As arm continues to move upward pin in engages shoulder (59 and continues to move guiding disk T-l until the same has assumed the position shown in Fig. 15. When in this position pin 71 is in position for moving wheel 78 the distance of two teeth, or in other words, tum-tenths of a revolution. Upon the return movement of plate to its original position arm 70 will be moved bodily in a longitudinal direction to its original position which carries therewith pin 71. This will cause pin 71 to engage wheelTS and move the same as the pin moves through slot 75. Guiding disk 74 is held against rotation during the time thatpin T1 is moving through slot 75 by pawl 85. awl S5 is provided with a projection 86 which is struck by plate 4-8 upon itsreturn movement to its original position, and pawl 85 is moved upon its pivot by pressure from said plate. This will disengage pawl 85 "from catches or notches formed in guiding plate 74- which guiding plate will then return to its original sion of spring 87.

\Vhen a nickel or fivc'cent piece is inserted through slot 33 into. the registering mechanism and lever 35 is depressed the sliding bar 44 will be raised a greater distance than when a ten-cent piece or when a one-cent piece has been inserted, but not as far as when a tweut \-'-five cent piece has been inserted. 'l'hc'tive-ccnt piece, however, will raise sliding bar H. sufiiciently to raise. bar 4.: a sutlicient distance for causing pin- 52 to move twenty-fivcatent lever 54 from its normal position at the end of slot 87 to the opposite end of said slot and in position for position under the ten- I moving downward through slot 88.

From this tlge s cam 46 to move plate 48 upon its pivot 55 pin .50 will engageshoulder Kiln-and move guiding plate 74 until slot 76 i osite the same. Upon the continued u ward movementof arm 45 and in 50,-tlie pin slides along a flattened portion 89 and holds slot 76 in the position shown in Fig. 14. Pin 49 however will not quite reach shoulder 69 so that nofurther movement of the guiding disk 7'-t will be made and pin 71 upon its return stroke when disk 48 has been permitted to move to its original position will travel around ratchet wheel 78 bacloto its In operating the register by lever 35 connecting lever .38 is depressed against the action of spring 90. Lever- 238 communicates motion to e ector 40 and from thence through various means-heretofore described to plate 48 and connecting mechanism for registering the various coins as the same are inserted. Lever 38 is provided'with an arm 91 in which a pin 92 is provided whichprojects throu h opening 93 in base plate 23.- Pin .92- is designed to engage the edge of plate 48 for moving the same back to its normal position after it has been released, pin 92 receiving its power fromspring 90 through lever 38. Connecting also provided with a..substantially circular head 94 upon whiclrteeth or notches 95 are formed for engagin provided with a. weig ted end 97 and an ex tension 98 for engaging in 99 positioned upon arm 45. Pin 91 is esi through slot LQOfo'rmed in p ate 23. When lever 35 is depressed and connecting-lever 38 moved upon its pivotal mounting '39 the same will be permitted to freely move and raise ejector 40 .until the coin has ejected. Upon'the raising of the coin by slide 34 the coin will be caused to. engage sliding bar 44 which .will raise the same, and also raise arm 45, which in turn will raise pin 99.. Pin 99 will. be raised to difierent \eights according to the size of com placed in the registering mechanism, but immedi-' ately 'u'ponthe same being ralse'd a short distance pawl 96 will engage notches or teeth 95 and slip over the same u on the continued movement of lever 38. awl 96 is pivotally mounted upon base plate 23 and will prevent any return movement ot lever 38 until arm 45 has'moved'downward and pin 99 engaged lug 98 for raising awl 96 y this d to extend lever 38 is v various ovable parts back to their original positions it is pointed out that a spring 102 'is provided for holdin thetwenty-five-cent lever 54 in its norma elevated position as shown in Figs. .4 and 0. -I-Iooks.84 and 85 are connected bya spring 103 for causing. the

same to positively engage the spokes or pins In the movement uided not only by ofthe lantern wheel 32. ofplate 48 the same is pivotal securing them or 55 but also by a short guiding Way101 which is preferably merely apiece of base plate 23 pressed up.

In regard to the locking mechanism more particularly shown in Fig. 3 a locking lever 18 is provided which is pivotally secured to the front-plate 22-. Looking lever 18 is formed withlu s or

teeth

19 and 20. Lug or] tooth 20 is esigned to fit into a notch 105 formed g-in' a locki1 wheel 100 which is rigidly secured to sha t 27 that carries the dime disk 31'. At the same time that toot-h?- -2 0 enters notch 105 tooth 19 will enter a notch 107 formed. in the dollar disk 29.

Notch 105 in lockin wheel 106 is designed 'to come opposite tooth 20 when the ten-cent "disk' is disclosing zero in opening 68.- In

regard to the dollar disk 29, if the same is designed to indicate Five Dollars the notch' 107 willcome opposite tooth 19 when Five Dollars is shown at opening 68. By this arrangement, notches 105 and 107 will come oppos'itetheir respective teeth with looking lever 18 at the same time when the bank has received the limit of the amount that may be registered. When notches'105 and 10'] have come opposite their respective teeth on looking lever 18 door 2 ma be-opened by simply turning knob "11 w ieh will cause against operation.
