Title: Improvements in and relating to Coin Freeing and Change Giving Mechanism.
Inventor: HARRIS HENRY KINGSFORD
Filed: 1912-01-18
Granted: 1913-01-20
Abstract: 12,130. Harris, H. K. Jan. 18. [Cognate Application, 5565/12.] Sale apparatus; changegiving apparatus. - The apparatus is of the type adapted to deliver the necessary change when a coin of higher value is inserted, to be operated by the insertion of one large coin or of two smaller coins of equivalent value, and to be set to vend articles of different values, and is shown for use with a vending-machine of the type described in Specification 16,526/11. Delivery mechanism.-The rotation of a spindle 10 and arm 38 after prepayment impart's a corresponding rotation to an arm 9, Fig. 1, or disk 75, Fig. 6, in connexion with the machine described in the above-mentioned Specification to effect the delivery of an article. If, say, a penny has been inserted to obtain a halfpenny article, a bottomless slide 45, actuated from an arm 42 carried by a boss 39 through a link 43 and lever 44, Fig. 1, or through a link 40, Fig. 6, delivers the lowest halfpenny from a column 47. In an alternate arrangement, the penny operates the bottomless slide directly. Coin action, multiple-coin and mechanicalconnexion.-The apparatus, Figs. 1 and 6, is shown in position for vending halfpenny articles on the insertion of a halfpenny or a penny and to return a halfpenny change when a penny is inserted. The halfpenny or penny is supported by an adjustable member 58 and a lateral arm (not shown) between blocks 54, 55 on the arm 9, Fig. 1, or between segmental flanges 76, 77 on the disk 75, Fig. 6, in which position it forms an abutment for the arm 38. A penny, however, projects up into a slot 61 in the arm 42 of the change-delivery mechanism. When the cost of an article is a penny, the member 58 is moved to a lower position determined by a screw 59 and slot 60, Fig. 1, and by a lever 82 working between stops 83 and engaging an extension 80 of the member, Fig. 6. In this position of the member a penny fails to engage the arm 42, while a halfpenny is not supported by the lateral arm above mentioned. To enable two halfpennies to be inserted for a penny article, a counterweighted lever 63, Fig. 3, is employed. The first halfpenny passes through a slot 64 in the member 58 on to a supporting- block 65 and rocks the lever 63 so as to bring its upper arm into the slot 64 into position to support a second halfpenny between the blocks 54, 55. When the member 58 is in the upper position, a pin 67 holds the lever 63 in the vertical position. Coin-slit closing devices.-When the supply of halfpennies in the column 47 is exhausted, a following weight 48, Fig. 1, rotates a bevelled projection 51 thereby operating a lever 53 to close the coin slot partly and prevent the insertion of a penny. The lever 53 may be adapted to close the slot completely when the supply of goods is exhausted.
