Improvements in Cash-boards.
1, CARL FABER, of Nuremburg, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, in the German
Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in cash-boards, and has for its object to
automatically transport the coins placed upon the cash-board into the hand of the
person that is to receive the money.
For this purpose the cash-board proper being in horizontal plane is divided into
two parts, which may be lifted so as to form an angle, the point of which is
directed downwards, thus allowing the coins placed on the cash-board before to
slide downwards on the point of the angle. A small space is left between the two
halves of the cash-board when lifted, and the coins gliding downwards fall through
that space into a flat funnel arranged directly under the line of division of the
cash-board. To the end of the funnel is attached a short tube of so large a
diameter as to let pass a quantity of the largest coins; another short tube of some
what larger diameter may be moved upward and downward upon the first mentioned
tube, and is suspended from the cash-board by means of rods in such a manner, that
it extends downwards over the rim of the tube attached to the funnel. By pressing
the moveable tube upward by the hand the two halves of the cash-board are lifted
and inclined, and the coins sliding down from the inclined planes pass the funnel and
both the tubes thus arriving at the hand which pressed the moveable tube upwards.
By lowering the hand with the moveable tube and the money, the two parts of the
cash-board get their normal position back, and the movable tube remains hanging
at the connecting-rods, thus leaving the cash in the hand of the respective
person.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanying drawings,
in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the several views and in
which:
Fig. 1 is a section of the apparatus.
Fig. 2 is an upper view of the same, showing the two parts of the cash-board
proper lifted and inclined.
Fig. 3 is a front-view also showing the two parts of the cash-board proper lifted
and inclined.
Fig. 4 is a side-view, showing the apparatus in the same position as before.
The base of the apparatus is provided with two standards, which support a
flat ring 9. Two upwardly extending projections are firmly attached to the
ring gg at opposite sides of the latter, cach projection provided with two holes e' e',
in which the parts e e may be moved. The cash-board proper is divided into two
halves a a, each of the halves firmly secured to two opposite parts e e in such
a manner, that both the halves are close side by side when resting on the
ring 9.9.
A flat funnel b is attached to the under side of the ring og directly under the
line of division of the board a a, and terminates in a tube . Another tube & may
be moved up and down over the tube band is connected with the two halves of
the cash-board proper by means of two rods c c. As easily to be seen from the
drawings, the parts a 7 of the cash-board will be lifted and inclined by the rods c
and the tube d, when pressing the latter upward. Such pressure is to be effected
by that hand of the respective person, in which the coins put on the board a a
before are to be transported. By putting the hand under the orifice of tube d and
pressing the same upward, the coins will slide down from the halves a a entering

page_text: then the funnel b, and passing finally the tubes &¹ and d, thus arriving at the hand
pressing.
"
When lowering that hand now the parts of the board and the tube d will get
their normal position by their own weight, and will be ready for further use.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cash-boards.
I, Cart Faber, of Nuremburg, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, German Empire,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, aml in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in cash-boards, and has for its object to
automatically transport the coins placed upon the cash-board into the hand of the
person that is to receive the money.
For this purpose the cash-board proper being in horizontal plane is divided into
two parts, which may be lifted so as to form an angle, the point of which is directed
downwards, thus allowing the coins placed on the cash-board before to slide down-
wards to the point of the angle. A small space is left between the two halves of
the cash-board when lifted, and the coins gliding downwards fall through that space
into a flat funnel arranged directly under the line of division of the cash-board.
To the end of the funnel is attached a short tube of so large a diameter as to let
pass a quantity of the largest coins: another short tube of somewhat larger
diameter may be moved upward and downward upon the first mentioned tube, and
is suspended from the cash-board by means of rods in such a manner, that it
extends downwards over the rim of the tube attached to the funnel. By pressing
the inovable tube upward by the hand the two halves of the cash-board are lifted
and inclined, and the coins sliding down from the inclined planes pass the funnel
and both the tubes thus arriving at the hand, which pressed the movable tube
upwards. By lowering the hand with the movable tube and the money, the two
parts of the cash-board get their normal position back, and the movable tube
remains hanging at the connecting-rods, thus leaving the cash in the hand of the
respective person.
In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the drawings sent in
with Provisional Specification, and in which similar letters denote similar parts
throughout the different views.
Fig. 1 is a section of the apparatus.
Fig. 2 is an upper view of the same, showing the two parts of the cash-board
proper lifted and inclined.
Fig. 3 is a front-view also showing the two parts of the cash board proper
lifted and inclined.
Fig. 4 is a side-view, showing the apparatus in the same position as before.
The base of the apparatus is provided with two standards, which support a
flat ring gg. Two upwardly extending projections are firmly attached to the
ring gat opposite sides of the latter, each projection provided with two holes el el,
in which the pivots of the parts ee may be moved. The cash-board proper is
divided into two halves a a, each of the halves firmly secured to two opposite
parts ee in such a manner, that both the halves are close side by side when resting
on the ring y y
A flat fiumel b is attached to the underside of the ring g g directly under the line
of division of the board a a, and terminates in a tube . Another tube d may be
moved up and down over the tube band is connected with the two halves of the

page_text: cash-board proper by means of two rods cc. As easily to be seen from the drawings,
the parts a a of the cash-board will be lifted and inclined by the rods ec and the
tube d, when pressing the latter upward. Such pressure is to be effected by that
hand of the respective person, in which the coins put on the board a a before are to
be transported. By putting the hand under the orifice of tube d and pressing the
same upward, the coins will slide down from the halves a a entering then the
funnel, and passing finally the tubes b' and d, thus arriving at the pressing
hand.
When lowering that hand now the parts a a of the board and the tube d will get
their normal position by their own weight, and will be ready for further use.
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 :-
1. In a cash-board: The divided board (a a), in combination with a funnel (b)
and with a tube (d) connected with the board (aa), for the purpose as described.
2. In a cash-board: The divided board (a a), in combination with a funnel (b)
terminating in a tube (61), and with a tube (d) connected with the board (a a), for
the purpose as described.
3. In a cash-board: The divided board (a a), in combination with a funnel (6)
terminating in a tube (b), and with a tube (d) connected with the board (a a) by
rods (cc), the tube (¹) adapted to lift and incline the parts (a a), for the purpose
as described.
