WILLIAM DANNENBERG Cabinet Maker of 26 Gloucester Street Gray's Inn
Road FREDRICK CRICHTON Licensed Victualler of 45 Mount Pleasant E.C.
Clerkenwell do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
We claim an improvement in machines for changing gold.
The sovereign or half sovereign to be changed is put in a slot and passes
through a metal shoot on to a balance if correct weight the drawer is released
and change can be withdrawn in metal box by one action of machine.
Any current coins can be placed in the boxes for change.
In the event of the coin not being standard weight no change can be obtained.
Dated this 31st day of July 1895.

We WILLIAM DANNENBERG of 26 Gloucester Street, Gray's Inn Road,
Cabinet Maker and FREDRICK CRICHTON of 45 Mount Pleasant Clerkenwell
Licensed Victualler do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This improvement in change-giving apparatus is for obtaining change for gold
coins, viz. sovereigns, and half sovereigns, and all silver current coins can be used
in preparing change to be given.
Fig. 1 (Sheet 1) shews the interior of the machine when opened.
Fig. 2 (Sheet 2) shows the position of the drawer F, when released, and also
the position of cup G containing the change required, the drawer I containing
the gold changed also being shewn open.
Fig. 3 (Sheet 2) shows a section of the machine with the bent shoot Bas
described.
Fig. 4 (Sheet 3) shows plan of mechanism.
Fig. 5 (Sheet 4) shows front elevation of mechanism.
Fig. 6 (Sheet 5) shews the drawer F. or F' closed and the position of the coin
before the drawer is released, and the cup withdrawn.
Fig. 7 shews the drawer in the position of being released and the coin falling
into the drawer I, so allowing the cup to be withdrawn.
A is the slot for the sovereign, B the shoot which it drops down, C the metal
grooved run, D the stop against which the coin rests E the balance for checking
weight, F the drawer from which change cups are withdrawn, G the metal cup
containing the change required, H. the cupboard for placing the cup containing
change, I the drawer containing gold changed.

page_text: A the slot for the half sovereign, B' the shoot which it drops down, C¹ the
metal grooved run, D¹ the stop against which the coin rests, El the balance for
checking weight, F the drawer from which change cups are withdrawn.
We will now proceed to describe the means by which change can be obtained.
If change for a sovereign is required the coin is dropped into slot marked A, if
correct size it runs down metal shoot B, and along metal grooved run C and stops on
reaching stop D, if correct weight the balance marked E will be actuated and
drawer marked F can then be withdrawn and change obtained from metal.cup
marked G as shewn on Fig. 2 (Sheet 2).
If change for half sovereign is required the coin is dropped in slot marked A¹, if
correct size it runs down metal shoot marked B', and along metal grooved run C,
and stops on reaching stop D', if correct weight the balance marked E' will be
actuated and drawer marked FI can then be withdrawn and change obtained from
metal cup similar to those marked G on Fig. 2 (Sheet 2) the action of the
machine for obtaining the change for the sovereign or half sovereign being
identical.
If the coin placed in slots marked A and A¹ respectively on reaching the stops
marked D and D' respectively is of inferior weight i.e. a base sovereign or base
half sovereign, the balances marked E and E' respectively will not be actuated and
no change can be obtained.
Referring to Fig. 3 it shews the formation of shoots of which B and B are
similar, and are bent to prevent actuation by means of wire or other substances
being inserted therein.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
1. An improvement in change giving apparatus.
2. The means by which change can be withdrawn in metal cups by one action.
3. The use of any current coin to fill cups for change.
4. An opening to contain cups when empty.
5. The machine as described.
