Complete Accepted, 4th Oct., 1887.
I FREDERICK CHARLES LYNDE of 48 King Street Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows: :-
This invention relates to improvements upon the invention for which I applied (with
a Complete Specification) for Letters Patent No. 11,167 dated September 2nd 1886,
the object of the present invention being to simplify and improve the construction
and working of the magnetic portion of the "coin-slide" described in the said
Specification.
I make the coin-slide with a recess or chamber in the upper portion, in which I
place a magnet of the common U-shaped form, the bent part of the magnet being
outwards, and the two poles towards the slit in which the coin is to be placed.
This magnet is so fitted that it cannot move any further forward than the said slit
into which position it is forced by means of a spring bearing against the bent part,
but so as to be capable of being pushed back as hereinafter described. To one limb of
the magnet is connected a bar which is bent at right angles and projects from the
forward part of the coin slide.
If at any time an attempt is made to work the delivery apparatus by the insertion
into the slit of the "coin-slide" of a disc or washer of steel, iron, or other attractable
metal, the magnet holds the same and prevents it from dropping downwards so as to
form a key for working the apparatus.
As the "coin-slide" is pushed in it carries the disc or washer forwards without
working the delivery apparatus, and just before the "coin-slide" arrives at the end of

page_text: its traverse the projecting portion of the bent rod before mentioned comes against a
stop provided for that purpose (or against a portion of the casing) and prevents the
magnet from advancing any further with the slide and the result is that the disc or
washer being still carried forward by the slit in the "coin-slide" becomes detached
from the magnet and falls into the coin receptacle which is placed beneath.
In coin slides intended for the reception of two coins at a time I employ two
magnets and instead of the bent rod I have a rod with a T-head working between the
two magnets and connected to the inner limb of each.
Dated this 30th day of November 1886.

Improvements in Apparatus for the Automatic Delivery of
Prepaid Goods.
I FREDERICK CHARLES LYNDE of 48, King Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster Civil Engineer 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 invention relates to improvements upon the invention for which I applied (with
a Complete Specification) for Letters Patent No. 11,167, dated September 2nd 1886,
the object of the present invention being to simplify and improve the construction
and working of the magnetic portion of the "coin-slide" described in the said
Specification.
The nature of my said invention and the manner in which the same is to be
performed or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference
to the two sheets of drawings hereunto annexed and the following explanation
thereof.
Fig. 1 (Sheet 1) of the drawings is a vertical section of a "coin-slide" and part of
an automatic delivery apparatus showing the application of my present improvement
to a machine worked by only one coin; and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same with the
cover a, a removed.
::
In Fig. 1 the coin-slide a, a is represented as only partially pushed into the
apparatus and the iron or other attractable metal disc b, b is shown as supported by
the magnet c, c the poles of which are flush with the side of the slit or opening d, d
made for the introduction of the coin; and in Fig. the coin-slide" a, a is shown
as fully pushed in and the metal disc b, released from the magnet as hereinafter
described. Figs. 3 and 4 are similar views of the "coin-slide" when applied to a machine
arranged to be worked by two coins.
Referring to Figs. I and 2 I make the "coin-slide" a, a with a recess or
chamber e, e in the upper portion in which I place a magnet c, c of the common
U-shaped form, the bent part of the magnet being outwards, and the two poles towards
the slit d, d in which the coin is to be placed. This magnet c. c is fitted with an
internal stop, so that it cannot move any further forward than the said slit d, d
into which position it is forced by means of a spring g, which may bear against the
bent part of the magnet or against the bar h, h but so as to be capable of being pushed
back as hereafter described. To one limb of the magnet c, c is connected a bar h, h
which projects from the forward part of the coin slide a, a. If at any time an attempt
is made to work the delivery apparatus by the insertion into the slit, d, d of the "coin-
slidea, a of the disc or washer 6, 6 of steel, iron, or other attractable metal, the
magnet c, c holds the same up as shown at Fig. 1 and prevents it from dropping
downwards so as to form a key for working the apparatus.

page_text: As the "coin-slide" a, a is pushed in it carries the disc or washer b, b forwards
without working the delivery apparatus and just before the "coin-slide"
a, a arrives
at the end of its traverse the projecting portion of the bar h, h before mentioned
comes against a stop provided for that purpose (or against a portion of the casing)
and prevents the magnet c, c from advancing any further with the slide a, a and the
result is that the disc or washer being still carried forward by the slit d, d in the
"coin slide" becomes detached from the magnet c, c and falls into the coin receptacle
which is placed beneath.
In coin slides intended for the reception of two coins at a time see Figs. 3 and 4 I
employ two magnets c, and c¹ and the bar h, h works between the two magnets and is
connected to the inner limb of each.
And in order to prevent the delivery slide i, i from being worked by one coin only
I mount therein a revolving tube k, k having a cruci-form piece 1, 1 at the top, and if
the slide a, a is pushed in with only one coin it comes against one of the arms of the
piece 7, which then turns round and allows the coin to drop into the receptacle with-
out moving the delivery slide, but upon two coins being pushed forward with the slide
they come against the opposite arms of the piece 1, land move it and the delivery slide
in the same direction in which the "coin-slide" is travelling.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
:-
In the "coin-slide" of apparatus for the automatic delivery of prepaid goods the
combination substantially as herein before described of a magnet or magnets with a
longitudinal sliding bar carried by the "coin-slide" and provided with a spring which
has a tendency to hold the poles of the magnet or magnets always flush with the side
of the coin slit so as to arrest and hold up any disc or washer of iron or other attractable
metal which may be inserted in the said slit and prevent it from working the
machine the sliding bar being so arranged that as the "coin-slide" is pushed in, the
end or other part of the bar (or the magnet) comes against a stop which prevents
the magnet or magnets from moving any further, and the continued movement of
the coin-slide
::
removes the metal disc therefrom and allows it to fall down into the
receptacle provided for that purpose.
