PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Receiving and Issuing Coins of Various
Denominations.
I JOSEF ROGGY of Saarlouis in the Kingdom of Prussia and Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:—
The present invention relates to a safety cash box or receptacle in which special
compartments and special receiving and paying tables are arranged for the monies to
be received and to be paid out. The safety cash box or receptacle consists of a table
(on which the monies to be paid in by the public will be laid) in the form of a circular
disc secured upon a vertical shaft which is pivotted in a fixed disc carried by the
frame of the receptacle, and rests at its lower end in a bracket bearing secured to the
fixed disc. A ring, also secured to the fixed disc, surrounds the table. Close above
the ring is situated the paying out table, which covers the larger half of the receiving
table. Above the receiving table is situated a fixed guide pioce, through which piece
passes loosely the disc shaft, which is so arranged that it will not turn with the disc.
Upon the disc shaft is secured a band pulley, which is in connection with a pulley
secured on a shaft provided with a crank handle. When the handle is turned, the
disc shaft, and with it the disc, is caused to rotate.
The money lying upon the circular disc now slides along the guide piece, and
passes through a slot in the ring into an inclined channel.
From the inclined channel the money falls into a receptacle, the bottom of which is
formed by a carrying belt. By turning the handle above referred to, the belt will
be set in motion, and the money falling upon the belt will be carried upwards and
delivered into a hopper, through which it falls, and arrives in an upright position
upon an inclined and angularly placed sorting bar provided with slots corresponding
to the different diameters of the various coins. The coils roll down the sorting bar,
and when they arrive at the slot corresponding to their particular diameter, they fall
through the slot into a receiver placed below. In this way the monies paid in at the
table will be automatically sorted by the sorting bar.

page_text: The money intended to be paid away lies in vertical chambers or compartments
provided with spring plungers, the rods of which are each fitted at their lower end
with a dise held in position by a nut. Overlying these discs is a cross rail, which is
connected with a vertical sleeve provided with a step or foot piece, and pressed
upwards by means of a spiral spring. The compartments are closed at top by means
of a cross bar situated immediately above them, which cross bar is formed on its
under side with recesses or cavities arranged in accordance with the size and thickness
of the various coins. The uppermost coins in the compartments, under the influence
of the spring plungers, are pressed into these recesses or cavities. The cross bar is
also provided with grooves arranged crosswise of the recesses. In these grooves, spring
pushers work so as to push forward the coin lying in the recess onto the table. The
bar is provided with a pair of bolts capable, by the aid of a suitable double action
ock, of being projected outwards at each side when the paying out apparatus is to be
locked or closed, and taking into corresponding recesses.
When the bolts are drawn back, the coins can be thrown out without hindrance,
but when the bolts are pushed out by the key, the coins cannot enter the recesses, and
consequently no money can he ejected by the pushers.

I, JOSEF ROGGY of Saarlouis in the Kingdom of Prussia and Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, 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 present invention relates to a safety cash box or receptacle in which special
compartments, and special receiving and paying tables, are arranged for the monies
to be received and to be paid out. The safety cash box or receptacle is represented
in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 shews the apparatus in sectional
elevation on the line ca of Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 shews the same in sectional elevation
on the line y y of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section on the line of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a
partial plan view of the apparatus. Figs. 5. and 6 are details which will be hereafter
referred to.
The monies to be paid in by the public will be laid upon the receiving table B,
which consists of a circular disc secured upon a vertical shaft . The latter is
pivotted at in a fixed disc 63 carried by the frame of the receptacle, and rests,
by its lower end, in a bracket bearing, which is secured to the fixed disc 62.
A ring e, also secured to the fixed disc 6, surrounds the disc B. Close above the
ringe is situated the paying out table P, which, as shewn at Fig. 4, covers the larger
half of the receiving table or disc B. Above the disc B is situated a fixed guide
piece B¹, tapering to a point in the direction towards the periphery of the disc,
through which piece passes loosely the shaft b, and which piece is secured by its point
to the ring c, so that it will not turn with the disc B. The ring e has, at both sides
of the point of the piece B', openings which terminate in an inclined channel d.
Upon the shaft bis secured a band pulley, which is in connection, by means of a
cord, with the pulley e (Fig. 4). This pulley is secured on the shaft f, which is
provided with a crank handle f¹. When the handle is turned, the shaft b, and
with it the disc B, is caused to rotate.-The money lying upon the circular disc B
now slides along the inclined side of the guide piece B¹, and passes through the slot
in the ring c into the inclined channel d.
C
From the inclined channel d, the money falls into a receptacle 1, the inclined
bottom of which is formed by a carrying belt g, which passes over two rollers and ',
one of which, h, is secured to the shaft carrying the crank handle, whilst the other
roller h¹ is adjustable to permit of the tightening up of the belt g.-To prevent the
carrying belt sagging from the weight of the money lying thereon, it is supported
between the rollers, and ³, by a flat piece g. By turning the handle, the belt g
will be set in motion, and the money falling upon the lower end of the belt 9 will be
carried upwards, and delivered into a hoppor i, through which it falls, and arrives, in
an upright position, upon an inclined and angularly placed sorting bar k, which is

page_text: provided with slots k¹, corresponding to the different diameters of the various coins.
The coins roll in an angular position down the sorting bar k, and when they arrive at
the slot k¹ corresponding to their particular diameter, they fall through the slot into a
receiver m placed below. The sorting bar has just so many slots as there are
different sizes of coins in use (according to the particular money system in vogue),
and under each slot is situated a special receiver m.-In this way, the monies paid in
at the table B will be automatically sorted by the sorting bar.
The sorting bark and the receiver m are fitted in a case which is provided with a
door capable of being locked.
The money intended to be paid away lies in vertical chambers or compartments u,
which are provided with spring plungers C. The rods of the plungers are each fitted
at their lower ends with a disc n, held in position by a nut, and overlying these discs
is a cross rail o. According to the number of the coins in the compartments
the
lower ends of plunger rods will project to a greater or less distance beneath the rail o.
The rail is connected with a vertical sleeve E¹, provided with a step or foot
piece E. The sleeve E¹ slides upon a vertical rod E2, and is pressed upwards by
means of a spiral spring. It will be seen that when the attendant presses down
the step E, the whole of the plungers C will be moved downwards. The com-
partments a are closed at top by means of a cross bar G situated immediately
above them, which cross bar is provided at its lower side (that is, the side turned
towards the vertical compartments) with recesses or cavities G (Figs. 5 and 6), which
are so arranged, in accordance with the size and thickness of the various coins, that
the uppermost coins in the compartments a, under the influence of the spring
plungers C, are pressed into these recesses or cavities. The bar G is also provided
with grooves G, which are arranged crosswise of the recesses. Into these grooves G²,
the spring pushers can be thrust, and they are mounted so as to be capable of
sliding in bar, situated in front of the bar G. When a pusher is forced forward
into a groove G, the coin lying in the recess G¹ will be caught by the pusher, and
thrown from under the bar G onto the table P. The bar G is held fast at each end
by a screw p, (the ends of the bar passing under the projecting piece or lug H), and
it is provided with a pair of bolts 7 and 7, passing through the whole length of the
bar, the said bolt being capable, by the aid of a suitable double-action lock, of being
projected outwards at each side when the paying out apparatus is to be locked or
closed. The two bolts, and g', then take into corresponding recesses H provided in
the projecting piece H, as indicated at Fig. 5.
q
The bolts are provided on their under side with recesses ; which correspond
with the recesses G₁ on the under side of the bar G, when the bolts 7 q' are shot
back, that is, when they do not take into the recesses H' of the projecting piece H.
In this case, the coins can be thrown out without hindrance by aid of the pushers i³.
When, however, the bolts ', by the aid of the key inserted into the lock of the
bar G, are pushed out, then the recesses q will not correspond with the recesses G¹,
but the parts of the bolts q' between the recesses ², pass through the recesses G¹.-
The coins cannot then enter the recesses G¹, and consequently no money can be
ejected by the pushers The paying out apparatus is then securely locked.
To permit of the insertion of coins into the vertical compartments a, the bar G must
be removed, and to permit of the locking of the bar G, the plungers C must first, by
the aid of the step E, be drawn down in order to allow the uppermost coin in cach
compartment a, to fall out of its recess G¹ in the bar G. The bolts y q¹ can then be
pushed home by the action of the lock.
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. The improved apparatus for receiving and issuing coins of various denominations,
as herein shewn and described.
2. The mechanism for receiving coins of various denominations as herein shown
and described, and. consisting of a circular receiving table Barranged to turn inside
