Improvements in or relating to Check Tills.
I, GEORGE JAMES COURCELLE of 210 Jamaica Road, Bermondsey, in the County of
Surrey, Public house Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is a check till for public houses and other places.
The invention comprises an apparatus which will deliver change for the various coins
required and will also register independently the amounts paid into the till. Taking
first the mechanism for delivering the change this may be constructed as follows:
:
1-
A change rack consisting of a chamber divided into a number of compartments
vertically one above the other and having a rack upon it by which through the
intervention of a pawl it is kept at a proper height. Each compartment is arranged
upon a slant and the whole chamber is placed within a suitable casing. A channel
or shoot is provided beside the change rack down which the coin to be changed is
dropped; the coin so dropped falls upon a projection on a weighted lever and in doing
so passes the jointed portion of a short arm which upon being pressed by the hand
forces down the coin pushing back the projecting lever and causing the pawl which
engages with the change rack to drop down the distance of one tooth the coin then
slips down the shoot and is held by another projection on the lever until the next act
has taken place when it falls into the till. The paw! having fallen into the next
tooth of the rack raises it to its former level bringing the first of the compartments
in the rack opposite an opening in the case through which the change contained in
the compartment immediately falls on to a suitable open receptacle. The movement
of the pawl may be effected either by a suitable spring or weight or by the hand of
the operator. Upon another coin being dropped down the shoot the same operation
can be repeated and the change contained in the second compartment obtained and
so on until all the compartiments have been emptied when the change rack can be
taken out to be refilled and another one already filled substituted. To prevent the
change falling out during the changing of the racks I prefer to employ a wire which
passes through holes in the divisions and when in place prevents the change from
falling out; this wire can be withdrawn when the change rack is in place. I find it
preferable to employ a separate change rack and mechanism for each of the different
coins for which change is likely to be required, thus, the change for a shilling,
consisting preferably of two sixpences would be contained in one rack so that when a
shilling was placed in this part of the apparatus each movement of the change rack
would deliver two sixpences. Another portion of the apparatus would contain change
for a two-shilling piece, another for two and six, another for sixpence, another for a
penny and so on according to the change likely to be required. These change racks
I prefer to arrange side by side in the upper portion of the casing, the lower portion
being devoted to the till and registering departments. Suitable glazed sight holes
are provided where-ever, required so that any particular coin may be inspected. The
takings" department of this apparatus may be described as follows :-
"
I prefer to divide it into sections, each section adapted for the reception of a coin
of a particular value as 6d., 1/-, 2/- and so on. The proper coin having been obtained
either by means of the previously described change mechanism or otherwise, is placed
in its proper slot which is so arranged that the coin cannot pass down into the till
drawer until a lever which operates the indicating mechanism has been moved. This
may be accomplished in various ways but I prefer to do it in much the same manner
as already described with reference to the change mechanism, that is to say, by´
providing a projection which partially closes the slot or shoot; the coin is then forced
down either directly by the hand of the operator or preferably by an arm or push the

page_text: arrangement being such that the presence of the coin is essential to the working of
the mechanism. The indicating mechanism is so arranged that on being moved it
cannot return to its normal position until a complete stroke or movement has taken
place and as already explained that movement cannot be effected without the presence
of the coin. Any convenient means may be adopted to prevent the extraction of the
coin after it has been placed in the slot. In connection with the lever which operates
the indicating mechanism I connect a disc or other suitable device having upon it the
amount of the coin placed in the slot; various ways may be employed to operate this
device but I find a satisfactory one to be an air cylinder in which moves a weighted
piston, the movement of the lever lifting this piston which remains up for a sufficient
time for the amount to be seen on the indicating device which would be in connection
with it and it then slowly returns to its normal position. Should another of the same
coin be placed in the slot before the piston has fallen to its former position the
indicating device would simply be replaced, thus showing that a second coin of the
same amount had been placed in the till. The movement of the piston may be
controlled in various ways as by an air cushion slowly escaping from the cylinder or
by making the piston a sufficiently tight fit in the cylinder; whichever it is, it should
however be controlled and I can obtain very satisfactory results withla piston having an
indiarubber packing the pressure of which against the wall of the cylinder can be
varied by turning the piston rod. For the indicating mechanism for the "takings
1 preferably adopt the well known form commonly used in gas meters the unit in
each case being the coin to which that section of the till is apportioned, thus on the
portion indicated to receive a sixpence the unit would be sixpence or if a shilling
then a shilling, and so on there being a separate set of indicating indices to each
section for the amount and also a separate indicating device to show that the coin
has been placed in the till. One or more bells or alarms can if desired be used in
connection with each section of the apparatus.
"
In the case of coppers I find it preferable to allow a certain quantity say for
example five sbillings worth to collect in a receptacle before being discharged into
the till and I connect with the mechanism for this purpose the indicating mechanism
so that each unit of the indicating mechanism would represent that amount of bronze
coins, say five shillings. The mechanism for collecting and discharging these coins
I prefer to construct as follows:-
Upon a suitable spindle I secure what may be called a wheel having compartments
each of sufficient size to contain the desired amount of coin; the spindle is pivotted
in a link at each end the other ends of the links being pivotted to one end of two
rocking beams whose normal position is such as to cause the wheel to be retained
against a suitable stop so that it cannot turn. The wheel and beams are held in this
position by a balance weight, the weight of which may be positive, upon the beams
secure a mercury tube containing sufficient mercury to make up. the weight of the
amount of the coin agreed upon, in this case five shillings, when that weight is
reached, the total balance weight being overcome the rocking beams turn upon their
centres and the wheel is thus allowed to fall a limited distance. This movement has
the effect of altering the inclination of the mercury tube which in its normal position
causes the mercury to remain at the end opposite to that from which the wheel is
suspended; when however by the lowering of the wheel the rocking beams are
turned the inclination of the mercury tube is reversed so that the weight of the
mercury, instead of acting against the weight of the coins now acts with them and
thus prevents the possibility of the mechanism sticking. The wheel being lowered
and the weight of the coins being not evenly balanced upon the spindle the wheel
tilts and deposits the whole number of coins into the till. Immediately the weight
is discharged the permanent balance weight lifts up the wheel again bringing its
next compartment against the stop and also returning the mercury tube to its
normal position so that the next compartment of the wheel is now set ready for a
fresh charge of coin. A suitable detent is provided to prevent the wheel from
turning in the wrong direction. In order to accurately adjust the mercury tube I
prefer to have a screw so arranged that its position can be finely adjusted. I prefer

page_text: to employ the mercurial tube for the final adjustment as I consider that to be the
most perfect form I can adopt but it will be understood that instead of mercury I
may use some other medium in the tube, for example lead shot.
As an alternative for the mechanism previously described for controlling and
operating the change rack I may employ an equivalent device as for example a screw
the operation and pitch of which are so adjusted that at the passage of the coin the
necessary movement is imparted to the change rack. It will be understood that the
change rack can be moved either up or down according to the mechanism employed,
that first described being arranged for it to work in an upward direction while the
screw can be employed to work it in either directions. An escapement mechanism
consisting of two ratchet wheels arranged with the teeth sloping in opposite directions
and a toothed wheel gearing with an equivalent rack by the side of the tube and a
lever with suitable pawls and detents will also work the change rack either up or
down as may be desired.
It will be readily seen that this mechanism can be subject to modification without
departing from the spirit of this invention.

Improvements in or relating to Check Tills.
I, GEORGE JAMES COURCELLE of 210 Jamaica Road, Bermondsey, in the County
of Surrey, Public House Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to he performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:—
The object of this invention is a check till for public houses and other places. The
invention comprises an apparatus which will deliver change for the various coins
required and will also register independently the amounts paid into the till.
In the accompanying drawings ;-
Figs. 1 and 2 are respectively a front and an end elevation of portion of a till
constructed according to my invention; Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of portion of one
of the change delivering mechanisms of which' Figs. 4 and 5 are vertical sections
taken respectively on the lines a-b and c-d of figure 3; Figs. 6 and 7 are portions
of views respectively corresponding to Figs. and 3 illustrating the manner of
working the said change-delivering mechanism; Figs. 8, 9 and 10 are inverted plans
showing one of the register-operating devices in three different positions as herein-
after described; Figs. 11 and 12 are sections taken on the lines ef and g-h of
figs. 10 and 9 respectively; Fig. 13 is a plan and Fig. 14 a vertical section on
the line ij of figure 13 of the copper or. bronze coin collecting and discharging
device.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
Referring to Figs. 3 to 7 of the drawings A is a chamber divided by a number of
inclined shelves or partitions A¹ into a series of slanting compartments a¹ vertically
one above the other. To one side of this chamber A is secured an escapement
rack A' with which is adapted to engage an escapement lever A3 as shown in Figs. 3
and 7. The chamber A is capable of moving vertically between front and back guide
plates A A the former of which is formed with ribs a² to prevent lateral dis-
placement of the chamber A and is secured to the inner side of the front B of the
case, the back guide plate A' being secured to the front guide A' by screws and
distance pieces A. Through the plate A' and case-front B are forined openings B¹
which together form one continuous inclined delivery opening hereinafter referred
to as the delivery opening B¹.
C is preferably a casting hereinafter termed a shoot secured to the inner side of
the case-front B and formed with grooves (which conduct the coin for which it is

page_text: desired to get change down to the part of the mechanism where the said "coin is
indirectly caused to effect the delivery of the necessary change. The distance
between these grooves corresponds to the size of the particular coin for which the
particular apparatus is designed to give change for example that in apparatus for
giving change for a florin being greater than that for a shilling. The lower end of
the shoot is cut away to correspond with a preferably glazed opening B2 in the
case-front B through which opening may be seen the coin for which change was
last given.'
The before mentioned escapement lever A³ is pivotted at a and at its upper end
is provided with two teeth or pallets a* as for engaging with the rack A2 and allowing
it to fall only to the extent of one tooth at a time. On the lower end of the lever A³
near the fulcrum a³ is pivotted a grooved roller.a, the groove of which as shown in
figs. 5 and 6 forms as it were a curved continuation of one of the grooves this
roller projecting into the "way, "between the grooves to such an extent that when
a coin to be changed is dropped down the shoot it will not of itself pass but be
supported by the said roller. Besides the roller as the lower end of the lever A³
carries two platforms 02 and C³ the former for arresting the descent of the coins
until the latter is beneath the shoot C which is recessed at O to allow of the free
movement of the platform C³.
D is a plunger normally held up in the position in which it is shown in figs. 3
and 5 by a spring D¹ the upper end of which engages with a fixed hook D² or the
like and the lower end with a hook D³ secured to the plunger. The upper end of
the plunger D is guided in a fixed bracket d in conjunction with which two
collars d d² act to limit the extent of motion of the plunger. The lower end of this
plunger is guided in a bracket d³ and is slotted to receive a bent lever d¹ d³ which
is pivotted in the said plunger D in the manner shown more clearly in figs. 5 and 6.
The ends of this lever d d normally, project into the shoot C but not sufficiently
to interfere with the descent of the coin in the said shoot; but whenever the plunger
is depressed the upper end by being pushed through the bracket d³ is moved out
farther from and the lower end d is consequently moved farther into the shoot C
until the upper end d coincides with the plunger itself as indicated in the lower
position in figure 6, the lower end d then being in the position in which it is caused
to press upon the coin for operating the mechanism. D is a knob mounted on a
rod d secured at its inner end to the plunger D which rod at its forward end projects
through a slot d in the case-frout B and by means of which knob the plunger D may
be depressed.
The operation of the before described apparatus is as follows;
Assuming the said apparatus to be intended for delivering six pennies in change
for a six-penny piece then into each of the compartments a¹ are placed six pennies as
shown in the lower part of figs. 3 and 4 and to retain these upon the inclined
shelves A while the chamber A is being placed in its vertical position in the
apparatus a wire or the like may be placed across the mouths of all of such com-
partments until the said chamber is in its proper position after which the said wire
may be withdrawn. The lower end of the chamber A is introduced into between the
upper end of the guides A* A* and the said chamber is lowered until the rack A³
engages with the escapement lever A³ the position to which it is thus lowered being
one in which the lowest of the compartments a¹ is just above and is therefore not
presented to the delivery opening B₁.
The apparatus being now ready for use a person requiring change drops the coin,
for which change is desired, down the shoot to which the coin is conducted throughí
a suitable money slit in the top of the enclosing case as shown in dotted lines in
figs. 1 and 2. The coin to be changed as shown in dotted lines in fig. 3 and in full
lines in figs. 6 and 7 where such coin is marked is arrested in its fall by the
roller The operator then depresses the plunger D by means of the knob D₁ and
the lower end of the lever dª d³ by being brought over the coin in the manner
before described is caused to bear upon it and thus force the roller a outwards from
the shoot Cand move the lever A³ into the position in which it is shown in dotted
23

page_text: た
lines in fig. 7. The coin then falls further down the shoot C until it is momentarily
stopped by the platform C which on immediately after swinging out from the shoot C
allows the coin to fall on to the platform C³ where it remains exposed to view
through the opening B2 until the next transaction is made. Simultaneous with the
pushing out from the shoot C of the roller as and consequent operation of the lever A³
the upper escapement pallet a* is disengaged from the rack A2 which with the
chamber A is then free to fall until stopped by the lower pallet a³ which then for the
moment is in a position to engage with the rack but which pallet by being forced out
of engagement with the rack by the weight of the chamber A and its contents again
causes the upper pallet a to re-engage with the said rack which by this time has
fallen to the extent of one tooth. One of the compartments a¹ has thus been brought
opposite the opening B' in the manner shown in figure 4 and the coins contained in.
such compartment slide through the said opening and are conducted by a suitable
hood Bs figs. 1 and 2 into preferably a.concave tray B* as shown in dotted lines in
figs. 1 and 2 from which the person desiring the change may then collect them.
The coin then supported on the platform C and consequently presented at the
opening B will fall into a suitable receptacle so soon as the apparatus is next
operated.
When the chamber A is emptied of its contents and falls clear of the escapement
lever A³ it may be removed through a suitable door in the back of the enclosing case
and another filled chamber introduced into the machine.
In my improved check till there may be provided a number of the before described
change delivering machines for example one for giving two half sovereigns or it may
be one half sovereign and some smaller change for a sovereign another for giving
change for half sovereigns, and others. for giving change for shillings, sixpenny-pieces
and any of the other coins in circulation, the machines all being practically the same
as that shown in the drawings but modified as to size to suit requirements.
The "takings" department of the till is preferably divided into a number of sections
each of which is adapted for the reception of a coin of a particular value as 6d, 1/-,
2/- and so on.
As these sections are of similar construction the following description of one will
apply equally well to any of such sections it being explained that the only difference
in any of the sections is the dimensions of the parts which are varied to suit the size
of the coin which each such section is adapted to receive.
Referring to figs. 1 and 2 but more particularly to the inverted plans shown in
figs. 8 to 10, B is a shelf or ledge formed in the machine case and through which are
formed money slits each of which is of a size adapted to the coin which has to be
passed through it. Beneath each of these money slits is presented another money
slit E in a plate E secured against the underside of the ledge B³ in any convenient
manner. On this plate are mounted guide plates E2 the opposing edges of which
preferably form a dove-tail groove for receiving a similarly shaped bar, plate or
equivalent E³ see more particularly figs. 11 and 12. In this bar there is formed a .
money slit E which is capablo of being moved to or from beneath the money slit E¹
so that only when beneath and coinciding with it can coins be dropped through the
slit E. Near its rearward end the under surface of the bar E is formed with a
recess E having a transversely inclined top as shown clearly in fig. 12, and besides
this the bar E is provided with pins, studs or projections E E' and E8 and also a
knob or handle EP which as shown in figs. 1 and 2 projects out beyond the case of the
apparatus and by means of which the bar E³ is operated as hereinafter explained.
E is a detent pivotted at e to the plate E and E" is a spring bearing upon the free
end of the said detent so as constantly to tend to press its free end upwards against
the underside of the bar E³. The free end of the said detent is inclined or slightly
curved at its upper side as at E figs. 11 and 12 and between this inclined face E
and the under surface of the bar E³ is adapted to be insinuated the end E¹³ of a cam
lever E3 E so as to move the free end of the detent clear of the bar and support it
for the time being on the end E³ against the pressure of the spring E". The cam
lever E¹³ E is pivotted at e¹ preferably to one of the guides E and is operated by

page_text: "
the pins E and E7; the former of these pins by bearing against the cam surface e* of
the lever end E in the manner shown in fig. when the bar E³ is drawn forward
moves the end E13 between the bar E3 and detent E as before described and the
latter pin E' by bearing against the cam surface e³ of the lever end E¹³ causes the
said lever end to be withdrawn from the position in which it supports the detent
against the pressure of the spring E. The pin E is preferably bent in the manner
shown so that one end of a spring E1 may be hooked over it the opposite end of the
spring being secured to another bent pin et or the equivalent thereof, but this spring
not being essential to the proper working of the apparatus may be dispensed with and
the return to its normal position of the bar E³ may be effected by the person using
the till. The before-mentioned pin E8 works in a slot e in one arm E of a hell-crank
lever E E7 the other arm E of which is connected by a link e to a registering
device E of any suitable construction and the face or dial of which as shown clearly
in fig. 1 is presented towards the front of the apparatus. The bell-crank lever E" Ei
is pivotted to the plate E preferably by means of a bracket e. 8 is a stop to prevent
the pin E being drawn past the cam e2 by preventing the said cam from moving
too far to the side and e' is a stud to sustain the detent E10 against lateral
displacement.
Beneath the last described apparatus there is arranged a drawer, bag or any other
receptacle in which it is desired to collect the coins passed through the money slits E¹
and E.
When it is desired to place money in the till the operator draws forward the
knob E and in so doing moves the bar E³ from the position in which it is represented
in fig. 10. After the bar has been moved forward a short distance the detent, which
previously was bearing against the under surface of the said bar is pressed up into the
recess E' so that if the operator now tried to move back the bar to its original position
he would be prevented from doing so by the front end of the recess abutting against
the front side of the detent and if left in this condition the position of the knob E'
would indicate that the till had been tampered with. The operator must now
therefore complete the operation by pulling the bar E³ out to its fullest extent that is
to say until the money slit E coincides with the money slit E in doing which the
pin E in conjunction with the cam e² inserts the lever end E13 between the bar E³
and the detent E0 and so allows the rear end of the recess E³ to be drawn past the
said detent. By this time the registering device E18 has been operated and indicates
that the apparatus has been used and that there should be inserted in the till a coin to
make up with those coins previously inserted the proper number shown on such
device. Thus at a glance it may be seen how many of any particular class of coins
there should be in the till.
When the operator next releases the knob E the spring E15 will immediately draw
back the bar 3 or without the spring the operator may push back the said bar to its
original position and the pin E' by acting against the came³ will cause the lever
end E's to be withdrawn from between the bar E3 and detent E10 which will then be
pressed directly against the under surface of the bar E³ and be ready for the next
transaction.
Que or more bells or alarms can if desired be used in connection with each of the
last described sections of the apparatus, and if found necessary a suitable latch may
be provided to prevent any accidental movement of the bari E³."
In the case of coppers I find it preferable to allow a certain quantity say for
example five shillings worth to accumulate in a receptacle before being discharged
into the till and I connect with the mechanism for this purpose the indicating
mechanism so that each unit of the said indicating mechanism would represent that
amount of bronze coins, say five shillings. The mechanism for collecting and dis-
charging these coins I prefer to construct in the manner shown in figs. 13 and 14
wherein F is a wheel having preferably four compartments f the four plates f¹
dividing these compartments each from the others being tangentially arranged in the
manner shown in figure 14. This wheel Fis mounted on a spindle F¹ the ends of
which are supported by and free to rotate in the lower ends of links F² the upper ends

page_text: of which are pivotted each to one end of one of two rocking beams F³. These
rocking beams are pivotted at f.to the side frames F of the machine which also by
the slots shown in dotted lines in fig. 14 provides for the guidance of the spindle F¹
when moving vertically as hereinafter explained. F is a stop secured in the side
frames F and against which the divisions fabut until the proper quantities of
coins have accumulated and which prevents unnecessary rotation of the wheel after
the coins have been discharged. F is a spring stop which prevents any rotation of
the wheel in the wrong direction. F is a balance weight which is preferably
adjustable as to weight and as to position on the arm f' on which it is hung this arm
being secured to the rod f which extends transversely from one rocking beam to the
other, another rod f similar to being placed between the opposite ends of the
rocking beams 3 to impart rigidity to the said beams. FS is a tube containing
mercury of weight sufficient to make up with the weight of F a total weight which
will be overbalanced by say, five-shillings worth of bronze coins or other quantity
previously decided upon. This tube F is supported in a trough F which by means
of a screwed spindle f" is capable of being longitudinally adjusted upon a bracket F10
which is rigidly secured to one of the rocking beams F³.
then
When in use the last described apparatus is situated. beneath the money slit through
which the bronze coins are passed so that the said coins will fall into the uppermost of
the compartments f. The coins collected in such compartment when they reach the
number previously decided upon will by overbalancing the mercury and the weight F7
cause the wheel F to descend until the upper edge of the particular division
engaged with or bearing against the stop F passes beneath the said stop F* under
which it is immediately moved by the weight of the coins acting as it does on one
side of the axis F' of the wheel F. The coins are thus discharged from the com-
partment and the weight F7 overbalancing the weight of the mercury and empty
wheel immediately raises the wheel so that the next division is brought against the
stop ready for a repetition of the collecting and discharging operations. The coins
discharged from the wheel F may fall into any suitable receptacle. It is to be
observed that the weight of the mercury during the discharging operation is trans-
ferred from one to the other side of the fulcrum f2 so that at one stage it assists in
sustaining the weight of the coins and at another stage by helping to lower the
wheel F it assists in discharging the coins.
The screw spindle f7 enables the disposition of the weight of the mercury to be
finely adjusted.
A ready means of rendering the weight F adjustable is by using a hollow vessel
which may be filled to any desired extent with shot or the equivalent thereof.
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;
