Improvements in and relating to Machinery for Receiving,
Delivering, Sorting, and Registering Coins.
I, EDWARD MORIARTY of 180 North End Road Fulham in the County of
Middlesex, Beer Retailer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to machinery for receiving coins, sorting and forwarding
the same to various receivers, delivering for the coins received in some instances
an equivalent value of other coins of lower denominations usually termed giving
change, and registering the values of the coins received or certain of them.
The present invention consists in improvements in the construction and principle
of such machines and more particularly of the machines or mechanism described in
the Specifications filed in respect of Letters Patent No. 15988 of 8th October 1890
-No. 18981 of 22nd October 1892, and No. 14156 of 21st July 1893.
For better comprehension of the improvements it may be stated that the
machines to which these improvements are more especially intended to be applied,
have a divided till for receiving the actual cash amount of the purchase, the
divisions being for gold, silver, and copper respectively; and a series of key levers
and indicators to operate the machine and at the same time show the value of the
purchase, together with a register or counter to register or add together and show
the totals of such purchases. In addition to these parts there is a second till or
tills for receiving coins for which change is to be given and means for causing any
of the key levers when depressed to deliver from the storage receptacles the exact
value in change for the coin (if any) inserted in the coin till without deduction for
the purchase, together with means for replenishing the storage receptacles with
coins from the "purchase" and from the "change" tills and sorting said coins so
that they pass to their respective receptacles.
The improvements are as follows:-In the "purchase" till mechanism; I provide
a dash pot in connection with one or more of the movable coin sorting grids for
preventing a too quick movement on, for instance, a sharp stroke being given to
one of the key levers. This is preferably applied to the lower movable grid that
separates three penny silver pieces.
The storage receptacles or coin chutes are made in the form of half tubes
preferably connected in one or more castings, and they are covered in and com-
pleted by similar half tubes also connected together in one or more groups and
hinged on lifting pintles or otherwise to open after the fashion of doors for access
to the chutes.
In the "change" till, in place of making the fingers which control the position
of the knock out bar so that said fingers move in separate slots at the places along
the separator of this till where coins of different width are expected to remain,
there is now used one finger only for silver and copper coins for which change is to
be given; consequently in place of allowing the coins for which change is to be
given to at once run along the separating chamber into the positions apportioned to
them according to their width, each coin whatever its width is caused first to stop
in one and the same place so that when any key lever is pressed down the aforesaid
finger which moves down in conjunction with said key lever arrives upon the edge
of the coin which according to its greater or less width will arrest the finger sooner

page_text: or later that is to say at a higher or a lower level. This single finger controls the
higher or lower position of the cross bar which is moved from back to front-over
the sliding knock outs and as the various knock outs have each a projecting dog of
a different height the said cross bar will thus be brought into a position to engage
with one or more of said dogs and thus operate one or more of said knock outs and
so knock out from the respective coin chutes coins to the value of the coin which
was inserted in the "change" till.
The silver and copper coins are placed in the same slot with the exception of
halfpennies and farthings for which as a rule change is not required and this slot
leads to a chute running to the chamber where the coin is to rest while the finger
descends upon its edge. This chamber is separated from the remainder of the
chute by a removable detent plate upon the withdrawal of which the coin tempo-
rarily held in the chamber thereby is suffered to pass along the chute which is
provided with a movable bottom and from time to time is lowered in height as has
been previously done to arrest the coins according to their width over the mouths
of the coin storage chutes to which they appertain.
To automatically deflect copper pennies from this chute, they being placed in
the same slot, there may be an orifice in the chute between the slot and the finger
chamber, and means adjusted according to weight and size of the coins whereby
the penny is deflected into another chute through the said orifice, this second chute
lying parallel to the first and leading to another finger chamber alongside the
first mentioned chamber and traversed by the same finger. The penny is arrested
therein and stands at a suitable height to co-operate with the finger in the same
manner as a silver coin, and it may be afterwards carried to one of the penny
storage tubes.
Silver coins smaller that a penny will run under the "penny" deflector, but
larger silver coins require to move the deflector out of their path and for this
purpose the bottom of the chute at or near this place is made loose and is upheld
by a balance weight. This movable floor has a slight amount of downward move-
ment under the weight of a larger silver coin, and this is sufficient to bring a
detent from behind the deflector suffering the latter to fall back about a hinge or
otherwise. To prevent a penny jumping in the chute sufficiently to depress this
balanced floor a movable ceiling is made to the chute under which the penny will
just pass thus causing it to roll evenly down the inclined chute. This ceiling is
lightly balanced to give easily for passage of a larger coin.
The gold "change" till is so placed in relation to the silver and copper change
till that the same finger or a branch thereof can move in a slot in the finger
chamber of the gold change till, which finger chamber is on the same principle to
enable the coin (if any) therein to arrest the finger at the proper level to cause
sufficient change to be given for the coin.
To prevent insertion of other than the ordinary gold coins in the finger chamber
of this till namely farthings, sixpences, and threepenny or fourpenny pieces, the
chute lending from the coin slot to the entrance to said finger chamber is balanced
and usually has its delivery end raised into line. with a false entrance above the
true entrance to said chamber, this false entrance leading to a chute for carrying
farthings sixpences and smaller silver coins direct to the "change" bowl, these
coins being of insufficient weight to depress the chute. Halfsovereigns and
sovereigns. will depress the chute and enter the finger chamber, but the older
larger farthings which are sufficiently heavy to depress the chute are deflected by
means similar to that for deflecting the pennies from the "silver" chute.
To permit a continuing movement of the key lever after the finger has come into
contact with the edge of the coin (if any) in the chamber of the "change" till, the
finger is thrown out of gear with the key lever and is locked in place. For this
purpose the finger may be pivoted and be operated by an arm on the same pivotal
centre actuated by rack and pinion from a frame or cross bar moved by any of the
keys. The finger has a bar carrying a pin engaging said arm until the finger is
slightly rocked by contact with the coin when the pin slides off the arm which

page_text: then continues its movement without further movement of the finger. The same
disengaging movement throws out a locking nose or pawl into engagement with the
teeth of a fixed ratchet bar or rack bar and holds the finger locked until the arm
returns from the limit of its movement and carries back the parts into their
previous position.
The movable plates or stops which hold the coins in the finger chambers are
operated by connections from the knock out cross bar, and have detents to hold
them open until the parts have fully returned to place.
The registering or counting wheels in place of registering when the lever is
depressed, perform the same action when the lever rises. The action of the lever
causes a stop to move within the wheel and project between the pins or teeth
thereof at a greater or less distance from its position of arrest according to the
greater or less numerical addition to be made to the register. This stop, when the
wheel moves, determines the amount of its revolution and consequently governs
the amount added to the register while it also serves to prevent the wheel racing
or moving further than it is intended to do, which is effected by the limit opposed
to the movement of the stop bringing the same and with it the wheel to an abrupt
and exact standstill.

Improvements in and relating to Machinery for Receiving,
Delivering, Sorting, and Registering Coins.
I, EDWARD MORIARTY of 180 North End Road Fulham in the County of
Middlesex, Beer Retailer, 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 machinery for receiving coins, sorting and forwarding
the same to various receivers, delivering for the coins received in some instances
an equivalent value of other coins of lower denominations usually termed giving
change and registering the values of the coins received or certain of them.
The present invention consists in improvements in the construction and
principle of such machines and more particularly of the machines or mechanism
described in the Specifications filed in respect of Letters Patent No. 15988 of
8th October 1890-No. 18981 of 22nd October 1892, and No. 14156 of 21st July
1893.
For better comprehension of the improvements it may be stated that the
machines to which these improvements are more especially intended to be applied,
have a divided till for receiving the actual cash amount of the purchase, the
divisions being for gold, silver, and copper respectively; and a series of key levers
and indicators to operate the machine and at the same time show the value of the
purchase, together with a register or counter to register or add together and show
the totals of such purchases. In addition to these parts there is a second till or
tills for receiving coins for which change is to be given and means for causing
any of the key levers when depressed to deliver from the storage receptacles the
exact value in change for the coin (if any) inserted in the coin till without
deduction for the purchase, together with means for replenishing the storage
"tills and
receptacles with coins from the "purchase" and from the "change"
sorting said coins so that they pass to their respective receptacles.
The improvements are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the remainder
of the machine to which they are applied being preferably as shown in the
drawings annexed to the Specification of Letters Patent 18981 of 1892.

page_text: Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the improved "change" till and coin distributor,
Fig. 2 is a similar view with parts removed.
Fig. 3 is a rear view of the parts shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a side elevation illustrating the change giving finger and parts
connected therewith. Fig. 5 illustrates the same parts in a different position.
Fig. 6 is a plan view of the upper part of Fig. 4.
Fig. 7 is a side elevation and Fig. 8 a front elevation of part of the register.
Fig. 9 is a broken view of the casting forming the front of the series of coin
tubes.
Fig. 10 illustrates the dash pot connected to one of the coin sorting grids of the
"purchase" till.
The improvements are as follows:-
In the "purchase" till mechanism I provide a dash pot a in connection with
one or more of the movable coin sorting grids for preventing a too quick movement
on for instance, a sharp stroke being given to one of the key levers. This is
preferably applied to the lower movable grid R that separates three-penny silver
pieces.
This is shown in Fig. 10, the piston a¹ of the dash pot is connected to the
grid R by a jointed rod a². The rod R is guided in a collar a³ and carries a
roller a which runs on the inclined plane a attached to the grid R. When any
key lever is depressed the rod R³ rises and its roller presses back the grid R,
but when the key lever rises the rod R¹³ falls and the spring a is free to draw
back the grid R while the dash pot a controls its speed which is thus independent
on its return movement of the speed of the rod R”.
The storage receptacles or coin chutes are made in the form of half tubes
preferably connected in one or more castings and they are covered in and
completed by similar half tubes 6* also connected together in one or more castings
or groups as partly shown broken in Fig. 9 and hinged by lugs 62 on lifting
pintles 6 fixed in the sockets 6' or otherwise to open after the fashion of doors for
access to the chutes.
To secure the cover upon the chutes a pin 63 projects upwards from the
plate C beneath the chutes and engages in a hole 30 made for it in the cover b.
To open the cover it is first necessary to slide it upwards the lugs 62 rising ou the
pins until its lower edge is clear of the end of the pin after which it may be
swung back about the pintle b.
bis a
projecting lug to serve as a handle to the cover b.
In the "change" till, in place of making the fingers which control the position
of the knock out bar so that said fingers move in separate slots at the places
along the separator of this till where coins of different width are expected to
remain, there is now used one finger only for silver and copper coins for which
change is to be given. Consequently in place of allowing the coins for which
change is to be given to at once run along the separating chute into the positions
apportioned to them according to their width, each coin whatever its width is
caused first to stop in one and the same place so that when any key lever is
pressed down the aforesaid finger which moves down in conjunction with said
key lever arrives upon the edge of the coin which according to its greater or less
width will arrest the finger sooner or later, that is to say at a higher or a lower
level.
This single finger controls the higher or lower position of the cross bar
which is moved from back to front over the sliding knock outs, and as the various
knock outs have each a projecting dog of a different height the said cross bar will
thus be brought into a position to engage with one or more of said dogs and thus
operate one or more of said knock outs and so knock out from the respective coin
chutes, coins to the value of the coin which was inserted in the "change" till.
d is the coin receiving chute into which coins for which change is given are to be
inserted. Its floor is inclined in order that the coins may run down of their own

page_text: weight and its inner walls are ribbed to prevent greasy or wet coins from adhering
to them.
From the back wall of the chute & there projects backwards a plate d¹.
Over the slot which is the entrance to the chute d is a sliding plate d¹ which
may be moved forward in the guides d to cover the slot. This plate d' projects
over plate d¹ beyond the back of the chute and carries a downwardly projecting
pin d (Fig. 3) passing through a slot in plate
connected to a rod d pivoted on the post d.

This rod d' carries three pins

The plated when drawn forward over the slot is held from returning by a
pawl (not shown) on the end of the rocking shaft 13 which pawl projects through
a slot in the plate d" and engages with a dog on the under side of plate d'. The
other end of the shaft d¹³ carries an arm d¹ for rocking the shaft and releasing the
plate whereupon the plate d' will be drawn back into its first position by a
spring connected to it and to the pin on the plate d".
The spring d operates on shaft d¹³ to keep the pawl in engaging position.
The floor of the chute d is inclined at d (Fig. 2) to the gold balance. This
consists of a plate e carried by a rod el pivoted ate and carrying an adjustable
balance weight e. The pin d is so located with reference to the balance plate e
that coins arrested thereby will remain in close proximity to said balance plate
and ready to pass on to the same when next allowed to run. The pin d' is so
located that it will arrest all coins larger than a sovereign. The pin de will
prevent possibility of a coin jumping over the pin d. Through the slot 10
immediately beside the pin d' there projects into the chute a plate e with inclined
edge.
This plate is attached to the bar e³ (Figs. 2 and 3) and hinged at eª and projecting
downwards in front of the pins e on a freely pivoted hook e adapted with its
lower hooked end to engage under a pin projecting from the rod e¹ of the gold
balance. So long as the plate e' projects into the chute the lower end of bar e
holds back the hook e from engagement and the gold balance is free to operate,
but when a larger coin than a sovereign passes it deflects the plate e', pushes back
the upper part of bar e and permits the hook to lock the balance so that a
larger coin than a sovereign will have no effect thereon but will pass on over
the plate e. Sovereigns and coins smaller in size than a sovereign will pass on to
the balance while it remains unlocked and sovereigns and half sovereigns will
depress the plate e and fall into the chute e under it, but sixpenny pieces and
other lighter coins will pass on.
In the floor of the chute d following the gold balance is another movable floor
plate (Fig. 3) supported by a rod f¹ pivoted at f' and counter balanced by a
weight 3. is a pin for spacing the floor f from the lower edge of the side of
the chute.
On the back of the chute is a plate hinged at f* f and its upper end is bent
over into the chute at f' and ends in an inclined edge. The lower end of the
plate abuts against the pin which therefore acts as a detent to hold the
plate so that its upper edge f' cannot be pressed back from the chute until
the floor f has been depressed. On the side of floor f is a pin f8 and pivoted on a
stud in the bracket f' is an arm f10 bent at fll to form a hook to engage with said
pin. To the arm f10 is attached a shorter arm f" carrying at its end a pin f"
(Fig. 2) projecting across the chute d. A penny running down the chute will
pass under this pin and consequently will not in any case depress the floor f since
the latter will remain locked by arm f10 and pin 78, consequently plate f³ also
remains locked by abutment of its lower end against pin and the penny will
be deflected by the inclined edge out of the chute d into the chamber g³ (Fig. 4)

page_text: lying immediately in front of and parallel with the chamber g. A flattened
penny may be large enough to lift the pin ƒ but will not be heavy enough to
depress the floor for thus to unlock the plate f' and consequently cannot pass
into chamber g but will pass into chamber g³.
Silver coins less in size than a penny will pass freely under the edge of
plate but silver coins larger than a penny will lift the pin f13, release the floor f
and so release also the plate f* while depressing the floor, thus also running straight
on to the chamber 9.
The chute d as aforesaid runs straight to the chamber 9 where the silver coin
is to rest while the finger g' (Figs. 4 & 5) descends upon its edge.
This chamber is separated from the chute h (Figs. 1, 2 and 3) by a removable
detent plate 92 upon the withdrawal of which the coin temporarily held in the
chamber 9 thereby is suffered to pass along the chute (Fig. 1) which is provided
with separate movable counter weighted bottoms h³ ³ ³ and from time to time
is lowered in height as has been previously done to arrest the coins according to
their width over the mouths of the coin storage chutes to which they appertain.
Copper pennies are as aforesaid deflected from the chute d and pass through an
orificed in the front side of the chute d between the end d¹ of the front wall of
chute d (Fig. 1) and the edge of the front wall of the chamber
and pass
g
into
another chamber g³ in front of the first mentioned chamber g and traversed by the
same finger g¹.
The penny is arrested therein by the detent plate or floor 9' and stands at a
suitable height to co-operate with the finger g' in the same manner as a silver coin
does in the chamber g and it may be afterwards carried along the chute ; to one of
the penny storage tubes 67 (Fig. 1).
The gold coins, falling out of chute d as aforesaid into the chute e, pass to a
similar chamber 9 into which project through holes 90 Fig. 2 two pins or
equivalent detents 9° (Fig. 4) serving the purpose of arresting the coin until the
finger (or an extension 97 thereof) shall have co-operated with it. In the walls
composing the chambers g, g³, 9° are made slots g in order to permit of the entrance
and movement of the finger g¹ or its extension 9', as shown in Fig. 4.
In Figs 4 and 5, k represents a part of a lever which is raised when any one of
the key levers of the machine is depressed. The rack bar is connected to lever k
and meshes with the pinion attached to a sleeve k³ (Fig. 6) revolving loosely on
the shaft. The pinion or its sleeve carries fixed to it a sector shaped cam k
the outer forward end of which is provided with a notch in which a pink loosely
rests. This pin k' is fixed upon a radially sliding plate 8 guided on the pins ", k¹,
against the radial arm which also revolves loosely on shaft k, as shown in
Fig. 6.
The finger g with its extension 97 is attached to the sleeve 10 which revolves
loosely on shaft k*. A lateral lug on the plate 48 is attached to the finger g' by a
rod. On the end of the plate k is a dog k" (Fig. 5) and on the frame of the
machine is fixed a ratchet bar k in the form of an arc of a circle of which
the axis of shaft k the centre. On the sleeve k³ is a cam which when the
plate is protruded will pass behind the heel of said plate ka aud prevent its
return.
The action of these parts is as follows:- -When the lever is raised, the
pinion is revolved by the rack k¹ and the cam k revolves also and carries with
it the pin k' resting in notch which therefore causes the plate 8, the plate k³
and the fingers g', g' to be revolved with the pinion 2. The fingers g', 9' thus
move down in the slots g in the chambers g³, g and g³ respectively, until the edge
of the finger rests on the edge of a coin in the one or other of these chambers.
The finger cannot move further on account of said coin and further movement of
the other parts causes first the rod to push outwards the sliding plate 4³ thus
bringing the dog into engagement with the ratchet bar at some position
higher or lower according to the diameter of the coin which stopped the
finger g¹ or g'. This action throws the pink out of the recess and permits

page_text: the cam to move past the pin ; thus the pinion can continue to revolve
while the sliding plate will be locked in its outermost position of engagement, first
by the exterior edge of cam behind the pin k³, secondly by the cam moving
round behind the heel of the plate k. The lever & therefore may receive full stroke
wherever the finger g' is arrested.
To the plate is attached the rod 17 connected to rocking frame 18 the fulcrum
of which is at 19 and from this frame is suspended the frame 40 which carries the
cross bar extending across the machine. It will be obvious from this.

upon the distance to which the fingers g', g' have been moved before either is.

to extend into its path, thus delivering change for the coin inserted in a manner
analogous to that described in the Specifications of my Patents before referred to.
is a pawl and a suitably shaped toothed bar to ensure that a full stroke is given
to the lever in a manner well known.
Having done this work the coin is released from the chamberg or g³ or g³ as the
case may be. For this purpose the end of the bar will in its movement have
pushed forward the lower weighted arm of lever g³ fulcrumed at 910 and carrying
the pins 9 and the plates 93, thus withdrawing these pins and plates from the
chambers g,g, respectively. The arm all of the lever 9° also in such movement meets
the tail g of lever 9" fulcrumed at g₁ and carrying the plate g* thus withdrawing
the latter from chamber g³.

immediately beneath it.
The copper coins run along chute ; (Fig. 1). The gold coins fall into a
chute leading to the base of the machine where the cash drawer is, or if desired
the half sovereigns may be led to one of the change tubes 68. The silver coins run
into chute h. Threepenny pieces run out at the end into the cash drawer; sixpenny
pieces are arrested by the depression (Fig. 2) in the roof over the balance floor ³
which is weighted to allow them to fall through. Shillings are similarly arrested
and fall through floor ; florins fall at 3, halt-crowns at 2 and larger silver coins.
fall at (see Fig. 1) where the fall is hinged on the front of the chute to throw
these coins rearward into the cash drawer.
To ensure the falling out of the coins. The floors - may be opened by a
movement of the plated and its rod d. The latter rocks the lever which rocks
the arm of the frame h hinged in the frame plate 10. This frame carries
arms which when the frame is rocked press back lags 1 on the floors h³-*
and open the floors -h while the arm " unlocks the floor by rocking the
lever, the lower end of which carries a hook engaging with the floor '
(see Fig. 3).
The registering or counting wheels in place of registering when the key lever is
depressed perform the same action when the lever rises.
The action of the key lever depresses lever m Figs. 7 & 8 carrying the sector m
engaging with pinion m³ carrying the arm m³, to which is pivoted a spring actuated
stop m. m is a unit register wheel. When the lever m is depressed stop m
moves within the wheel m' and projects between the pins or teeth me thereof at a
greater or less distance from its position of arrest according to the greater or less
numerical addition to be made to the register. This stop m* when the wheel m*
moves determines the amount of its revolution and consequently governs the
amount added to the register while it also serves to prevent the wheel "racing" or
moving further than it is intended to do, which is effected by the limit m' opposed

page_text: to the movement of the stop m bringing the same and with it the wheel to an
abrupt and exact standstill.
When the lever m is depressed the ratchet wheel m¹ integral with the pinion m³
revolves but the wheel m³ does not revolve since the teeth of the ratchet wheel m17
move idly under the pawl m³. But when the lever m again rises under influence of
spring m³, the ratchet wheel m" is revolved in the opposite direction and carries
with it the pawl m³ and consequently the wheel m³ until the arm m³ or its butt-
hinged end m strikes the block m' on the back of the sector m¹. Back movement
of the wheel m' is prevented by the pawl m¹º.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In a machine for receiving, delivering, sorting, and registering coins:-
1. The combination with a coin sorting grid, such as the grid R of means for
removing such grid in one direction, a spring or equivalent device for moving the
grid in the other direction, and a dash pot for controlling the latter movement,
substantially as described.
2. The combination of the coin chutes or chambers of half tubes in one or more
connected parts with similar half tube covers hinged on lifting pintles and adapted
to be secured in the manner described.
3. The construction whereby the silver and copper coins are each arrested at such
place in the change till as to co-operate with one finger only for the purpose and in
the manner described.
4. The construction for deflecting copper coins from the chute between the
entrance slot and the finger chamber and for carrying the copper coins into a chamber
parallel with the said finger chamber to there co-operate with the same finger.
5. The construction of movable or balanced floors in the chutes to be operated
by the weight of certain coins for unlocking or setting in motion or removing
deflectors whereby the coins are permitted or caused to pass in the direction
appropriate to their denomination in the manner described.
6. The arrangement of the gold change till in relation to the silver and copper
change till, that a branch of the same finger may co-operate with gold coins for the
purpose described.
7. The construction of the finger and its operating parts, whereby the finger is
thrown out of gear by the obstruction offered by the coin in its path and is locked
in such position during the operation of knocking out the change equivalent to the
coin aforesaid.
8. The construction of the register wheels and parts in such a manner that
the depression of the key moves a stop within the wheel and causes it to project
between teeth or pins on the wheel at a greater or less distance from it's position
before movement to prevent "racing" of the wheel in the manner described.
9. The improved construction of the machinery for receiving, delivering, sorting,
and registering coins as illustrated and described herein.
