or other Coins.
I, WILLIAM HALLIWELL, of Vavasour Hotel, Vavasour Street, off Milnrow Road,
Rochdale, in the County of Lancaster, Licensed Victualler, 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:-
My invention relates to a means or apparatus for storing and readily handling
large quantities of copper or other money coin principally copper which is taken or
handled in banks counting houses hotels sports theatres or other public places.
The principal features of my invention is to provide a means for storage or
packing of coins or money for the purposes of easy transport or transmission from
the places where money is received to the bank obviating the necessity of packing
the said coins in paper packages for transmission to the bank as is now the case.
In order to clearly comprehend my invention I hereto annex a sheet of drawings
illustrating my invention Figures 1 and 2 represent my invention being a metal or
other tube part section with cover.
The tube a Figure 1 is made from metal wood cardboard paper machie celluloi
or any other suitable material which tube is provided with a bottom or closed end b,
the upper part at its outer side is provided with a screw thread upon which part is
fitted a cap or cover, c, which is shown detached from the tube provided with a
corresponding screw thread or the cover may have a slot d, to fit on to a stud <,
when suitably turned and placed on the tube Fig. 2 as shown in dotted lines. The
tubes may be made of various diameters for the purpose of receiving gold silver or
coins of various denominations e.g., half crown pieces, two shilling pieces,
shilling, sixpenny, threepenny, penny, or halfpenny pieces. The tube will be
principally used for coins of the lower denoninations which are most frequently
used as mediums of exchange or for payment in such places as above mentioned.
The said tubes I may provide with a slot or opening lengthwise thereof which is
used for the purpose of enabling the person examning the cases or tubes when
filled with coins to see the amount or denominations of coins or if desired the one
end of the tube case may be provided with a fac-simile of the coin which it is
adapted to contain or such may be notified by printed or other matter thereon.
The said tubes will be of any convenient lengths e.g., in the case of the copper coins
tubes or cases may hold the same to the value of five shillings all of which may
be suitable lengths convenient for handling purposes thus the lengths of the said
tubes may become standards of measure for the respective coins which they contain i.e.,
measured on the edge of the columns coins.
