inner casing is fixed loosely in outer case by means of a groove cut in each side
of outer case which allows inner case to slide up & down. At one side of back
of inner casing is fixed a toothed strip of metal which works in a toothed wheel
fixed on axle & working in bearings fixed to body of machine. On the same
axle is also fixed a fly wheel & a metal drum with stops or notches in it varying

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Coin Freed Automatic Delivery Machine.
I, WILLIAM GEORGE NEWMAN of 3, Galveston Road, Putney, Commercial
Clerk, 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 an improved coin freed automatic delivery machine,
and has for its objects to simplify the construction of such boxes, and at the same
time to ensure the regular delivery of its contents when operated.
The invention consists essentially of an outer casing of any suitable material and
may be of any desired shape, within the said onter casing is a second case free to
move vertically up or down and divided by partitions into a series of horizontal
compartments each of which contains a packet of the goods to be delivered. The
dividing partitions slope downwards toward the front of the case so that as each
compartment is brought to correspond with the main or delivery opening in the
outer case the goods which may be placed in diums or packets of any convenient
Pin1

page_text: lower compartiment is in a position corresponding with the opening in the outer
case as shewn by the drawings when the goods are discharged into the tray.
It will be obvious that by increasing the size of the outer case that the length
of the inner case a may be increased and any number of compartments formed
therein.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. In an automatic delivery box or machine the use of an inner sliding case
divided by partitions into a number of sloping horizontal compartments sub-
stantially as herein set forth and shewn by the accompanying sheet of drawings.
2nd. In an automatic delivery box as above described the combination of a
sliding case with a toothed rack operating a pinion mounted upon a spindle to
which is attached a stop wheel engaging with the end of a pivotted bent lever
ali substantially as described and shewn by the appended drawings.
3rd. In delivering goods by means of automatic boxes the use of drums or
cylindrical receptacles composed of any suitable material for containing the goods
to be delivered as herein described and shewn in the appended drawings.
Dated the 13th day of June 1894.
WILLIAM GEORGE NEWMAN.
