PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Coin Pads.
We, JOSEPH MOSELEY, Manufacturer, and BENJAMIN BLUNDSTONE, Manager, both
of the Chapelfield Works Manchester in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to the construction of coin pads on the surface of which
there are formed a number of soft elastic projections for the purpose of enabling the
coin to be removed therefroin with facility.
According to our present Improvements we form the base of the coin pad from
sheet metal or cardboard or from other rigid or comparatively rigid suitable material
perforated at intervals by the usual means. Through each of the perforations we
pass from the under side a pin or stud of indiarubber or of indiarubber compound
or similar soft elastic material so that the points of the studs or pins project beyond
the perforated surface.
The perforated sheet with the soft elastic pins or studs therein constitutes the most
elementary form of the coin pad constructed according to these Improvements and it
may be used in this form or be secured upon a plain or ornamental base or foundation
or within a suitable box or casing.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Coin Pads.
We, JOSEPH MOSELEY, Manufacturer, and BENJAMIN BLUNDSTONE, Manager, both
of the Chapelfield Works Manchester in the County of Lancaster, 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 the construction of coin pads on the surface of which
there are formed or arranged a number of soft elastic points or projections which
enable any coins placed thereon to be removed with great facility.
According to these Improvements we form the base or foundation of the coin pad
from a suitable rigid or comparatively rigid material such as sheet metal, card board,
vulcanite, celluloid, or papier-mache, which is perforated by known means with a
group or series of comparatively small holes. Through each of the perforations we
pass from the under side, a pin or stud of vulcanised indiarubber, or of indiarubber
compound, or of other similar soft elastic material, in such a manner that the points of
the pins of studs project above the perforated surface.
The perforated base with the soft elastic studs therein constitutes the most
elementary form of a coin pad constructed according to these Improvements and it
may be used in this form simply, or be secured upon or within a plain or ornamented
foundation support box or casing.
We will more particularly describe our said Invention with reference to the
accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 represents a simple form of the coin pad in plan;
Figure 2 a transverse section of Figure 1 ;
Figure 3 a perspective view of a modification of the coin pad;
Figure 4 a transverse section of Figure 3;
Figure 5 a series of the soft elastic pins formed in a ring ready for insertion into
the base;

page_text: Figure 6 elevations of two pins which it is preferred to employ in the same
coin pad.
In each of the Figures in which the parts are represented, A is the comparatively
rigid base of the coin pad; and B B are the soft elastic pins inserted therein.
In Figure 1 the base A consists of a plain sheet perforated with a group of holes
through each of which one of the pins B is inserted from the under side. After all
the pins have been inserted, the heads of the pins may be protected by a suitable piece
of fabric cemented thereon or by a plain rubber or other projection C, or the coin pad
consisting of the sheet A and the pins B alone may be employed without further
addition or treatment. The base may be of any suitable shape or dimensions and the
group of perforations also may occupy any desired area thereon.
In Figures 3 and 4, the perforated portion of the base is represented as being dished
or concave, the remainder of the base consisting of an annular part and a short
frustum of a cone.
We prefer to make the outer pins of the group rather stronger than those within
the group as shewn in the drawings and as separately indicated in Figure 6, for the
purpose of enabling them to resist the rougher usage to which they may be
subjected.
The pins or studs B may be produced and inserted separately but it will generally
found more convenient to mould them in groups or strips, or in circles as shewn in
Figure 5 when the whole group strip or circle is inserted at once and the pins are
mutually supported.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is,-
A coin pad consisting essentially of a comparatively rigid base having soft elastic
pins or projections inserted therein, substantially as bereinbefore described and as
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
