Improvements in Coin-freed Machines for the Automatic Delivery of
Liquids, Goods and Articles.
I, JOHN HENRY BIRCH, of the Firm of George Salter and Company, of West
Bromwich, in the County of Stafford, Manufacturer, and HARRY ROSCOE COTTRELL
of 24 Nichol Street, West Bromwich aforesaid, Foreman of Works, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an automatic coin-freed machine or machines, or combined
machines, for the delivery of both eatables and drinkables and articles, such for
example as for delivering hot coffee, a cup or vessel for holding the coffee and a
biscuit, cake or like article of food.
A combined machine or apparatus constructed according to my invention for
delivering hot coffee or like liquid, a biscuit or like eatable and a drinking vessel in
exchange for coins deposited consists primarily of three parts, viz., a liquid delivery
part, a combined drinking vessel and food delivery part, and mechanism for controlling
and cutting off gas and for closing the coin slots when either all the supply of coffee or
all the cups and biscuits or both are exhausted. The coffee delivery part and the
cup and biscuit delivery part have each a separate coin slot and are capable of being
operated entirely independent of one another, whilst the whole of the parts of the
combined apparatus are enclosed within a suitable casing.
The mechanism for delivering a drinking vessel and an article of food, say for
instance, a biscuit, consists as follows:-
Situated against the inside front of the casing and secured thereto by suitable
brackets, is a vertical open ended shoot or box, rectangular in cross section, and of
sufficient height to contain a number of folded paper cups or drinking vessels
having biscuits enclosed within or secured to them, the inner side of the said cup
shoot being left partly open throughout its whole length to facilitate the placing of
the said cups and biscuits pilewise therein. Upon the top of this pile of cups is
placed a heavy weight which facilitates the fall of the said pile within the shoot after
the bottom cup has been removed, whilst its middle is provided with supplementary
means for cutting off the supply of gas and closing the coin slots when the last cup of
the pile is withdrawn as hereinafter described.
Coming underneath the bottom end of the shoot is a sliding drawer, into which the
lowest packet of the pile falls and which can be released and drawn out with the
packet within it on a penny or other coin being inserted within the coin slot.
The mechanism for releasing the drawer on the coin being introduced into the slot
may be of any suitable kind. For instance, the underside of the drawer may carry a
fraine, within bearings in the front of which is an axis or shaft, to one end of which
a pawl or catch is fixed whilst its other end is connected with a spring whose tendancy
is to keep the said pawl in engagement with a fixed rack carried on a suitable part
of the general framing of the mechanism. The middle part of the said axis has an
upstanding projection or short arm whose purpose will be hereafter described, whilst
the outer face of the pawl is provided with a stud or projection, which, on the axis

page_text: and pawl fast with it being turned, engages with the teeth of a second rack cut along
the top edge of one end of a long arm or beam jointed at its other end to the
framing, and prevents the pawl engaging with the fixed rack, on the framing-
Thus, when the penny is dropped through the slot, it passes down short fixed
guides and comes against stops formed at the front part of the frame carried by the
drawer and is there held, immediately in the path of the upstanding projection or
short lever on the middle of the axis. Now on the drawer being pulled, the frame
and parts carried by it are moved forward and the projection comes at the back of
the penny, which being held fast, causes the arm to rock and take the pawl clear of
the teeth of its rack. The continued forward pull of the drawer moves the stops away
from the penny which falls into a suitable receptacle and lifts the stud on the side
of the pawl into engagement with the swinging rack, (whose teeth rake in the
reverse direction to those of the fixed rack on the frame) which holds the nose end of
the pawl out of engagement with the fixed rack until the drawer has been drawn
fully out, when the projection slips over the end of its rack and allows the pawl to
fall into engagement with the said fixed rack. The cup and biscuit packet are
removed from the drawer which is then closed, the pawl wiping over the fixed rack
and the pawl stud passing along the underside of the swinging rack during the
backward movement and when the drawer is fully shut, a gap in the side of the
swinging rack beam allows the same to fall into its normal position ready to hold
the pawl out of gear with the fixed rack on the next coin being introduced.
The apparatus for automatically delivering a quantity of hot coffee in exchange
for a coin consists principally of a hot water supply tank, chambers for measuring
out the water, a coffee essence reservoir, a valve for regulating the flow of hot
water, and essence into and out of chambers contained within the said valve, and
coin operated mechanism for intermittently rotating the said valve.
Situated at the top of the casing is a water tank, having a main water supply
pipe leading downwards into the valve casing within which water at all times freely
circulates, whilst leading from the said valve casing are two pipes running,
respectively to water measuring chambers which determine the quantity of liquid
that shall be delivered in exchange for each coin deposited. Both the measuring
chambers (which are provided with air vent pipes), the water tank and their pipes
are enclosed within a hot-water jacket kept hot by suitably arranged gas jets.
Located above the top of the valve casing is an essence reservoir which, when the
machine is in operation, is in uninterrupted communication with an
chamber formed within a part of the valve seating. The face of the valve, which is
intermittently rotated by mechanism hereinafter described, is formed with four (or
other number) of chambers, three of which are always open to a greater or less
extent to the essence chamber in the valve face, whilst the fourth is always open to
one or other of the measuring chambers and to the coffee delivery outlet of the
machine. The valve seating and the body of the valve are provided with ports and
passages arranged to effect this object and also to ensure that when water is flowing
from the valve chamber through the valve body and seating and into one of the
measuring chambers in one direction, water shall also and at the same time be
flowing in the reverse direction from the other measuring chamber, through the
valve seating into one of two diverting chambers formed in the valve face and from
thence by suitable passages into one of the essence chambers, which is swilled
out by the hot water and the coffee thus made passes away by the delivery
pipe to the consumer, mixing as it goes.
Thus, one of the measuring chambers fills with water when the main water supply
tank of the machine is filled and the casing of the valve is also always full of water.
Now when a penny is deposited, the valve is given a quarter turn and water runs
through passages or ports in valve face and seating that have been brought coincident
by such part rotation and from thence into the empty measuring chamber, and fills
the same. Whilst this is going on water runs from the first named measuring
chamber, through the valve seating and into one of the diverting chambers in the

page_text: valve face and from thence to the mixing chamber, where it becomes incorporated
with the coffee essence and flows away through the delivery pipe.
On a further penny being placed in the machine, the valve makes a further
quarter turn, when another pair of holes in valve seating and body are brought
coincident and water runs therethrough to the measuring chamber which was
emptied on the first penny being deposited, the water in the other measuring
chamber meanwhile running away through coincident ports, intercepting chamber
and passages to an essence chamber and the delivery outlet.
"The coin operated mechanism for intermittently rotating the valve of the liquid
delivery part of the apparatus consists of an axis mounted in a frame and having
made fast upon it, a toothed wheel, an escape wheel and a double armed cam. A
verge shaft with a verge thereon comes below the said axis and carries a wiper arm
and a slightly counterpoised coin lever, hooked at one end to engage a suitable
stop, whilst the other end carries an inclined platform upon which the coin placed
within the coin slot, falls after passing down coin races directing the same to the
coin lever. The verge shaft is half gapped at a part opposite the escape wheel,
thereby forming a semi-circular pallet, whilst the toothed wheel on the first named
shaft engages with another toothed wheel made fast upon a counter-axis carrying a
pinion engaging with the teeth of a large toothed wheel carried at one end of a.
drum, loosely mounted on a druin shaft and winder axis carrying a ratchet wheel
with which a pawl on the face of the combined wheel and drum engages, whilst a
cord or chain having a heavy weight suspended from it, is wound around the said
drum. The counter axis on which the toothed wheel and pinion are mounted
directly drives the valve of the liquid delivery mechanism. The end of the coin
lever upon which the coin falls works within a hopper-shaped top of a further coin-
shoot leading to a cash receptacle.
The mechanism for controlling and shutting off the supply of gas to the jets
heating the water jackets, and for simultaneously closing the entrances to the coin
slots or displaying announcements that the machine is empty on the last packet
being delivered, or the last portion of coffee essence being consumed, is arranged as
follows:-
The weight which rests upon the pile of packets in the shoot has a hole through
its middle, fitted with a like shaped open-ended box or socket, capable of sliding
within the said hole and provided with stops for preventing the same falling through
or out of the hole. Within this socket or box is a supplementary sliding weight,
which is also prevented from falling completely out of its place by suitable stops.
When the weight is in its normal position on the top of the pile, the socket and
supplementary weight are closed up or telescope the central hole in the larger
weight. The drawer upon which the packets fall from the pile to be delivered lins
an opening in its bottom, and when the same is pushed back into place after
drawing out the last packet of the pile, the principal weight comes thereon, and the
socket and secondary weight, being unsupported, fall through the opening in the
drawer bottom and the said supplementary weight comes upon one end of a rocking
lever fixed to a turning axis mounted in brackets carried by the machine framing
and having secured to it, a toothed wheel engaging with a pinion made fast to the
plug of a gas cock and adapted to shut off the supply of gas from the jets as
aforesaid on the said lever being rocked. To near the joint of the lever is fitted an
arm, peg or equivalent engaging with a horizontally sliding frame working in suitable
guides and having a forward extension upon the top face of which is printed the word
"Empty." When the lever is rocked by the weight, this slide is traversed forwardly
and the extension covers the coin slot, of the cup and biscuit delivery part of the
apparatus, exhibits the word "Empty" to the public and prevents further coin being
put into the machine.
To prevent the slide being forced back from outside the machine, the periphery
or face of the toothed wheel on the axis end is fitted with a projection or plain part,
and pivoted adjacently thereto is a catch whose nose end normally lies on the
plain part of said projection, but on the said toothed wheel making a slight

page_text: turning movement on the lever rocking, the said nose falls over the end of the
projection, which constitutes a shoulder and renders it impossible for the wheel and
cognate parts to be turned back to their original positions until the catch has-been
thrown out of gear with the shoulder by hand.
To another part of the lever controlling the gas supply and slides is pivoted the
lower end of a long arm extending up the inside of the machine and jointedly
connected at its top end to a vertically sliding plate, adapted, on said lever being
rocked, to cover up the coin slot controlling the liquid delivery part of the apparatus
and to present the word "Empty" before an opening in the casing, simultaneous
with the closing of the coin slot of the cup and biscuit delivery mechanism and the
turning off of the gas.
Should the supply of essence in the reservoir become exhausted whilst there are
still packets in the pile, then gas is cut off and the coin slots closed by the weight
at the end of the cord or chain wound around the drum of the liquid valve controlling
mechanism falling on to a treadle or plate-like arm of a lever turning on an axis
disposed across the bottom of the casing, and to whose other end, a coupling rod
extending upwards to the weight-operated rocking lever aforesaid, is connected.
. The gas and water supply pipes and the essence reservoir are filled with master
taps which are opened by hand on the machine being charged, and provision is made
for gaining ready aocess to the various passages and parts of the machine for
cleansing and other purpose. All drippings and waste liquor are carried away to a
receptacle placed inside the casing, a grid or drainage stand being provided below
the liquid delivery nozzle at the front of the machine on which the cup is placed
whilst being filled with coffee.

Improvements in Coin-freed Machines for the Automatic Delivery of
Liquids, Goods and Articles.
We, JOHN HENRY BIRCH, of the Firm of George Salter and Company, of West
Bromwich, in the County of Stafford, Manufacturer, and HARRY ROSCOE COTTRELL, of
24 Nichol Street, West Bromwich, aforesaid, Foreman of Works, 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 automatic coin-freed machine or machines, or combined
machines, for the delivery of both eatables and drinkables and articles, such for
example as for delivering hot coffee, bovril, a cup or vessel for holding the coffee and
a biscuit, cake or like article of food.
A combined machine or apparatus constructed according to our invention for
delivering hot coffee or like liquid, a biscuit or like eatable and a drinking vessel in
exchange for coins deposited consists primarily of three parts, viz.: a liquid delivery
part, a combined drinking vessel and food delivery part, and mechanism for controlling
and cutting off gas or other heating agent and for closing the coin slots when either
all the supply of coffee or all the cups and biscuits or both are exhausted. The coffee
delivery part and the cup and biscuit delivery part have each.a separate coin slot and
are capable of being operated entirely independent of one another, whilst the whole
of the parts of the combined apparatus are enclosed within a suitable casing.

Figure 12 is an elevation of the same showing the two positions in full and dotted
lines respectively.
Figure 13 is an end elevation of bottom weight showing the groove.
Figure 14 shows the locking gear for the gas extinguishing mechanism.
The apparatus for automatically delivering a quantity of hot coffee in exchange for
a coin consists principally of a hot water supply tank, chambers for mensuring out the
water, one or more reservoirs for coffee essence, milk or other ingredient, a specially
constructed valve for regulating the flow of hot water and essence into and out of
chambers contained within the said valve, and coin operated mechanism for controlling
the intermittent rotation of the said valve.
Situated at the top of the casing is a water tank A having a main water supply
pipe B leading downwards into the valve casing C through which water passes whilst
leading from the said valve casing are two pipes D D running respectively to a water
chamber E divided into two to form two water measuring chambers which determine
the quantity of liquid that shall be delivered in exchange for each coin deposited.
Both the measuring chambers (which are provided with air vent pipes F) the water
tank A and their pipes B and D D are enclosed within a hot-water jacket F' kept hot
by suitably arranged gas jets G G¹ or other suitable source of heat."
Located above the top of the valve casing C are arranged two liquid or essence
reservoirs Hand H' the first may be used for milk and the latter for coffee essence by
way of example, which, when the machine is in operation, are in uninterrupted
communication with ports J J respectively formed within a part of the valve
seating K upon which a circular valve L is adapted to rotate. The face of the valve L
which is intermittently rotated by mechanisin M hereinafter described is formed in
this instance with two series of essence or liquid measuring chambers N N1, two of
which of each series are always open to a greater or less extent to the respective
essence ports JJ' in the valve seating, whilst the fourth of each series is always open
by passages hereinafter described to one or other of the ports E' E2 in connection
with the measuring chambers E and to the port O of the liquid delivery outlet 01 of
the machine. The valve seating is also provided with ports P P P the first two being
connected by a common passage at the back of the casing with the third and the body
of the valve is provided with diverting ports or recesses R R and through passages $$
arranged to effect the connection between the measuring chamber E and the port O
referred to above and also to ensure that when water is flowing from the valve chamber
through one of the passages S in the valve body L and through the port E' in the
seating K into one of the measuring chambers E in one direction, water shall also and
at the same time be flowing in the reverse direction from the other measuring
cbainber E through the port E2 in the valve seating K into one of the two diverting
chambers or ports R formed in the valve face and from thence by the passages P P
into one of the pairs of the essence chambers N and N¹ which are swilled or flushed

page_text: out by the hot water and the coffee and milk or other mixture thus made passes away
by the delivery pipe O' to the consumer and is thoroughly mixed in such passage.
Thus one of the measuring chambers E fills with water when the main water supply
tank A of the machine is filled, the casing C of the valve also being filled with water
at the same time. The water. passing from the tank A down the pipe B, through the
passage B1 in the valve seating, and the passage B' in the valve casing C to the back
of the valve L, then through one of the passages S into the port E¹ and pipe D to one
of the measuring chambers E.
Now when a penny is deposited the valve is given a certain rotation, for example
in the case of a four port valve as shewn, a quarter turn and water runs through the
other passage 8 in the valve and port E in the seating that have been brought
coincident by such part rotation and thence into the empty measuring chamber E,
and fills the same. Whilst this is going on water runs from the first named measuring
chamber E through port E in the valve seating K and into one of the diverting
chambers or ports R in the valve face through the port P' to the port P and thence
to one pair of the essence measuring chambers N N¹ in the valve where it becomes
incorporated with the coffee milk or other essence contained therein and flows way
through the delivery pipe 01.
On a further penny being placed in the machine, the valve makes a further quarter
turn, when another series of holes in the valve seating and body are brought
coincident and water runs therethrough to the measuring chamber which was emptied
on the first penny being deposited, the water in the other measuring chamber mean-
while running away through coincident ports, intercepting chamber and passages to
the essence chambers in the valve and the delivery outlet.
If it is desired to have means for washing out the essence reservoir or reservoirs
such as when milk or other readily deterioratable substance is used we arrange an
outlet J in the port J' which is closed with a plug, tap or valve so that the essence
may be reinoved and the chamber and passages washed out without disturbing the
mechanism in any way.
The coin operated mechanism M for intermittently controlling the rotation of the
valve of the liquid delivery part of the apparatus is shown in Figs. 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10^
and consists of an axis a mounted in a frame and having made fast upon it, a toothed
wheel b, an escapement wheel c and a double armed cam d. A verge shaft e comes
below the said axis and carries a wiper arm g and an arm e upon which is pivotted
at e a slightly counterpoised coin lever h hooked at one end to engage a suitable
stop; whilst the other end carries an inclined platform upon which the coin placed
within the coin slot, falls after passing down coin races h, directing the same to the
coin lever h. A wire spring he is wound about the axis e, one end of which bears
against the shaft e² and the other end is hooked to engage over the hooked end of
the coin lever h. The spring is so stressed as to always tend to reduce the amount of
angle between the coin lever and the arm e'. The verge shaft e is half gapped at a
part opposite the escape wheel e thereby forming a semi-circular pallet whilst the
toothed wheel b on the shaft a engages with another toothed wheel k made fast upon
a counter-axis carrying a pinion m engaging with the teeth of a large toothed
wheel n loosely mounted on a shaft p fitted with winding gear. This shaft p also
carries fixedly thereon a drum o and a ratchet wheel g with which a pawl q¹ situated
on the face of the wheel a engages, whilst a cord or chain r having a heavy weight a
suspended from it, is wound around the said drum o. The counter axis on which
the toothed wheel and pinion are mounted directly drives the valve L of the liquid
delivery mechanism.
The operation is as follows ;-When a coin drops on to the lever & its hooked end is
released from the stop j and the spring & draws the lever & backward and turns the
verge shaft e about its axis and thus allows a tooth of the escapement wheel c to clear
the verge f. This movement of the shaft e has brought the wiper arm g up to the
position shown in Figures 10 and 10' so that one of the arms of the cam d during the
. rotation of the shaft a comes into contact with the wiper arm g moves it back into
the normal position and turns the shaft e so that the verge f is so placed as to prevent

page_text: the passage of the next tooth of the escapement wheel c, at the same time the hooked
end of the lever h engages over the stop, ready to be disengaged by the next coin. A
spring c is mounted on the frame and engages the escapement wheel c to prevent its
backward rotation.
The end of the coin lever h upon which the coin falls works within a hopper-shaped
top of a further coin-shoot leading to a cash receptacle.
The mechanism for delivering a drinking vessel and an article of food may be of
any of the well known forms.
The mechanism for controlling and shutting off the supply of gas to the jets heating
the water jacket F" and the supply tank A and for simultaneously closing the
entrances to the coin slots or displaying announcements that the machine is empty on
the last packet. being delivered or the last portion of coffee or other essence or liquid
being consumed, is shown in Figures 5, 6 and 14 and is arranged as follows:-
The weight y which rests upon the pile of packets in the shoot has a hole through
its middle fitted with a like shaped open-ended box or socket yl, capable of sliding
within the said hole and provided with stops y for preventing the same falling
through or out of the hole. Within this socket or box y is a supplementary sliding
weight y which is also prevented from falling completely out of its place by suitable
stops. When the weight y is in its normal position on the top of the pile as shown
in full lines, Figure 12, the socket yl and supplementary weight y are closed up or
telescope the central hole in the larger weight y. The drawer upon which the
packets fall from the pile to be delivered has an opening in its bottom, and when
the same is pushed back into place after drawing out the last packet of the pile, the
principal weight y comes thereon and the socket and secondary weight being
unsupported, fall through the opening in the drawer bottom and the said supplemen-
tary weight y comes upon one end of a rocking lever z fixed to a turning axis !
mounted in brackets carried by the machine framing and having secured to it, a
toothed wheel 2 engaging with a pinion a made fast to the plug of a gas cock and
adapted to shut off the supply of gas from the jets as aforesaid on the said lever
being rocked. To near the joint of the lever is fitted an arm, peg or equivalent W
engaging with a horizontally sliding frame W₁ working in suitable guides and having
a forward extension, upon the top face of which is printed the word "empty." When
the lever is rocked by the weight, this slide is traversed forwardly and the extension
covers the coin slot W of the cup and biscuit delivery part of the apparatus, exhibits
the word "Empty" to the public and prevents further coin being put in the
machine.
To prevent the slide being forced back from outside the machine, the periphery or
face of the toothed wheel 2 on the axis end is fitted with a projection or plain part
and pivoted adjacently thereto is a catch ' whose nose end normally lies on the plain
part of said projection, but on the said toothed wheel making a slight turning
inovement on the lever rocking, the said nose falls over, the end of the projection,
which constitutes a shoulder and renders it impossible for the wheel and cognate
parts to be turned back to their original positions until the catch a' has been thrown
out of gear with the shoulder by hand.
To another part of the lever controlling the gas supply and slides is pivotted the
lower end of a long arm 2 extending up the inside of the machine and jointedly
connected at its top end to a vertically sliding plate adapted on said lever being
rocked, to cover up the coin slot a controlling the liquid delivery part of the apparatus
and to present the word "Empty" before an opening in the casing, sinultaneous with
the closing of the coin slot of the cup and biscuit delivery mechanism and the
turning off of the gas.
Should the supply of essence in the reservoirs become exhausted whilst there
are still packets in the pile, then gas is cut off and the coin slots closed by the
weight S at the end of the cord or chain wound around the drum o of the liquid
valve controlling mechanism M falling on to a treadle or plate-like arm U of a
lever turning on an axis U disposed across the bottom of the casing and to
whose other ends, a coupling rod Us extending upwards to the weight-operated
lever aforesaid, is connected.
