facturer, 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 :-
The object of this invention is a new or improved apparatus for the automatic
supply of prepaid perfumes or other liquids in the shape of spray.
Referring to the accompanying drawing,
Figs. 1 and 2 are vertical sections and
Fig. 3 is a cross section, along line y Fig. 1, of the improved apparatus.
Figs. 4 and 5 show the characteristic constituents thereof on an enlarged
scale, and
Fig. 6 is a horizontal section along line V W Fig. 4.
The improved apparatus consists of three essential parts, viz.
1) The frame A, containing the passage E with slot for introducing the coin,
the passage E for the ejection of two small coins which do not actuate the
apparatus, the pressing rod d and the bow g.
2) The crosspiece B screwed adjustably to the frame and connected with the
cylinder u.
The cylinder movable in the latter is provided at the top with a plate rigidly
secured by means of rods with the pressing plate p and carrying a groove
shaped coin rest b. The spiral springs s serve to hold the movable cylinder with
the coin rest in a normal position.
3) The crosspiece C situated below B and carrying an indiarubber bag c with a
tube c¹ connected with a spray diffuser I placed on the liquid receptacle R and having
a spout. This part of the apparatus may however also be replaced by any other
suitable spray diffusing device.
The whole of the apparatus in enclosed in a casing G having corresponding
openings for the coin passages E and E unless the latter passage be dispensed
with and coins inferior in size to the prescribed one intended to be forfeited
for trifling with the apparatus.
The flat pressing rod d movable in the frame A is passed through the casing G, its
upper end being round and having a knob K screwed onto it. The spiral spring f
serves to ensure the normal position of the pressing rod and both are surrounded
with two small cylinders guided telescopically in one another. The pressing rod is
bevelled at its lower extremity for the purpose of causing the coin, after the apparatus
has been in action, to fall through a corresponding aperture, provided at ee in the
frame A, into the coin receptacle.
The improved apparatus works as follows:
The coin m when dropped in is detained by the bow g and lies free on the rest b
and below the pressing rod d. On pressing down the knob K, the rod d presses the
coin m and cylinder r down. Thereby the indiarubber bag c is compressed through
the plate p thus actuating the spray diffuser I. The coin when passing with its upper
edge the rim ee of the frame is pressed aside, owing to the shape of the lower end of
the pressing rod d, and the action of the apparatus is discontinued, the various parts
being returned into their normal position by the action of the springs ss and f.
Smaller coins than those required are not detained by the bowy and either fall
immediately into the coin receptacle or are refused through the passage E' as the
case may be.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
In automatic apparatus for the sale of liquids in the shape of spray.
1) The application of the coin m for the transmission of pressure from the pressing
rod d to the indiarubber bag c substantially as set forth.
2) The application of a pressing rod d bevelled at the bottom in combination with
spiral spring/substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3) The application of a movable cylinder in combination with coin rest b
pressing plate p and spiral springs ss substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
