Title: Improvements in Coin-delivery Apparatus
Inventor: ALBERT JOSEPH HOLMAN
Filed: 1902-12-16
Granted: 1903-07-30
Abstract: 27,829. Albert, J. H., and Wiggins, F. A. Dec. 16. Money-delivering apparatus.-A rouleau of coins in front of a slide E in a sloping trough B is normally kept at the top of it by a long lever F on a fulcrum e under the pull of a spring G, and a nearly vertical shoot C is filled by a single row of coins which a gate Z<6> prevents from dropping out. The front coin of the rouleau raised by a short slope b is pressed by a finger R pivoted to the end of an arm M, which is normally fixed by a latch Q. On pressing a key-lever L, the long lever F is carried back, the finger R is lifted, and the gate is opened to let the lowest coin fall from the shoot while a pivoted stop Z' is applied to hold up the remainder. The key-lever is connected to the stop z<3> by a link Z<5>, and an intermediate lever J' is linked to the gate and to a lever V under the feeding-finger R. The key-lever operates the intermediate lever and the long lever by pressing a friction pawl J' on the former against a sector arm H<1> on the latter. When the key is released, the long lever pulled by the spring G returns under the control of a centrifugal friction governor at the end of a train of wheels and pinions H, I, J, which includes a one-way friction clutch m, n. In recharging the machine, the latch Q is removed from the arm M to which the feeding-finger is pivoted, and a detent M is applied to the governor so as to hold the long lever off the coins. Other key-levers and stops may be provided to allow different numbers of coins to escape from the shoot. The governor is shown in Figs. 5 and 6. A jointed parallelogram X with closing-springs a<1> on a cross-piece v upon a shaft J, carries a pair of weights y, and allows them to shift centrifugally so that brake blocks z upon them press a hollow fixed cone b<1>.
