To all whom it may concern: I
lie it known that I, Anew-J. llor'r, a citizen of the United States, and' a resident of New ()rleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, have invented a new and Improved Coin-Handling Apparatus, of which the following is a full, ciear, and exact description.
My invention relates to coin-handling, more particularly to a device for sort ng and counting coins, and has for anolbject to sort out coinsof various sizes and deposit the 'saine'sized-coins in hoppersre- 'spectively provided therefor, each coin heingr automatically registered before passing into the hopper, so that a complete tally of the individual sized coins is recorded. For
the purpose mentioned, use is made of a series of inclined chutes having hai'iies therein and provided with perforated slides having receiving hoppers at their ends to receive the coins therein, the said hoppers being so arranged as to receive coins of similar size only. and means on the hoppers for registering the number of coins in the hopper, and means for vibrating the chutes, to facilitate the movement of the coins down the mentioned chutes.
Reference is to be had to the accompany ing drawings forming a pa'rt of this specification, in which similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the views, and in which.
Figure 1 is a sectional side view of my 2 is a plan view of one of the chutes, showing the perforated slide the-rein; Fig.3 is a fragmentary sectional side view of one of the slides, disclosing one of the battles to illustrate the use of the same, and Fig. it is a fragmentary sectional side view of one of the hoppers, showingsthe registering means and the manner in which the coins are removed fromthe hopper,
Referring more particularly to the various views, I employ a -frame l, mounted on Wheels 2 and provided with a hinged cccentric 3 for connection with suitable driving means for transmitting a vibrating In0- tion to the frame 1. A series of inclined chutes 4c are mounted on the frame 1,as shosvn in l, and mounted in the'chutcs 4. are perforated slides 5, the perforations (3 in the slides decreasing in size in each top one down. Numerous provided in the chutes 4 and depend therein to Within a short distance of I the slides 5. The chutes 4 are arranged so I that any coins sliding downdhe top chute will drop onto the slide of the next chute and so on down, as will be hereinafter more fully described. The slides 5 project a distance beyond the ends of the chutes and moimted to connect with the ends of the slides are receiving hoppers 8, having ontranc'e tubes 9 and mouths 10. Registering means 11, consisting of cyciometrie mechanisms operated try heels 12, mounted 'in the tubes 9, are provided on the hoppersS to register each coin as it passes into the hopper adapted for its particular size. At the upperen-d of upper chute 4 an opening 13 provided, into which the coins to be sorted and counted, are dropped; The lower ends of the hopper 8 are provided with cases 14. having circular openings 15 therein of a'size equal size of the coin adapted for the particular sized hoppers. Drawers 16 having handles 1? and holes 1'8 therein, are provided to slide on the bases 14. Thus when the hoppers 8 fill up, the'drawers can be pulled outwardly and the coins contained drawers are inns 15. V
For the purpose of conveniently describ ing the operation of my device, it will probably be Wellto denote the various operative parts by small letters. Theframe l is first made to vibrate or oscillate by the driving means connected with the eccentric 3, and a number of coins are then dropped into the opening 13. Ovvin; to the vibrating movement of the frame 1. the coins Will move'down the slide (1. Now the perforations 6 in the slide a being of a large size, all coins smaller than the perforations, Will drop through the same onto thev chute a, and those coins larger than the perforations will drop into the hopper c Now, the coins which drop onto the chute a. move downward on the chute (c and fall onto the slide Z2. As before, the coins larger than the perforations in the slide 2) Will drop into the ho per 5 and the smaller coins will drop. onto the chute 6 down which they will slide and drop onto the next lower slide. This operation continues on all the slides andchutes, and as there are as many sized hoppers provided'as there are different sized coins, all the coins will eventually drop intotheirrespective sized hoppers. .\s the coins enter the tubes 9 of the hoppers R, they dropped through the opento or larger than the.
in the holes in the coins. To obviate this, the battles 7 are proengage a wheel 12 of a register 11, and as each coin engages the Wheel the count is recorded on the register 11, and a tally of the .number of coins in each hopper can-be conl venient-ly shown. Sometimes it happens that when the coins are dropped into the opening 13 or drop from a slide to a chute, 1
two or more of the coins Will become atl' tached tp each other and, therefore, a small coin on alarger coin would be carried into the hopper intended to receive only large 1 vided, and depend Within the slides sutfic'iently to allow for the thickness of a coin on the slides, so that when two or more coins enter the apparatus-and are in any manner 1' attached to eachother, they quickly become detached when they strike the battles 7 as \villbe easily seen by referring to Fig. 3. i From the foregoing description it will be seenthatan efiicient and convenient coinhandling --apparatus is provided, and it-Will be further seen that my device can be so l shown or inclosed in a glass casing that the complete operation of the apparatus can be seen at all times. 7
It Will be distinctly understood that I do not limit myself to the uses to which my device can-be applied nor do I limit myself to the construction shown, the scope ofmy invention being disclosed in the appended 3 the frame one above the other, with the lower end of one chute discharging into the upper end of the next chute, perforated slides on the chutes and extending a distance beyond the lower ends of the chutes, hoppers disposed to receive the discharge of the slides, battle plates on the said chutes and extending transversely the entire width of the chutes, and means for registering the number of coins received by the hoppers.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of. twosubscribing Witnesses.
