Improved Appliances for Counting Coin and Enclosing the same into
Parcels.
We, NATHAN KOHN, of Franz-Josefsquai 29, Vienna, Austria, Merchant, and
MANASSE PATZOVSKY, of Villa Gloriette, Hietzing, Vienna, Austria, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to effect the rapid and accurate counting
of coin and at the same time, the making up of a certain quantity thereof into
roll-shaped parcels, whereby the present tedious and unreliable mode of counting
coin and making it up into parcels is obviated.
For this purpose we employ apparatus consisting of a tray having one or more
openings, to the underside of which are attached cylindrical tubular feet open.
at both ends and made of such a length as to contain any desired number of
coins piled flat one on top of the other.
Furthermore, tubular cases are fitted over these tubes that are closed at the
lower end, so that on the tubes being filled with coin and then withdrawn from
the cases, these will be filled with a pile of a certain number of coin so that
on then placing two such filled cases end to end with their open ends together,
and pasting a band round the joint, a closed roll of coin will be produced.
The accompanying drawing shews at Fig. 1 the above described coin tray
with tubular feet, in elevation partly in section while Fig. 2 shews one of the
tubular cases, and Fig. 3 two filled cases combined to form a roll of coin.
The tray, which may be of any form has several tubular cylinders b fixed
to it, the upper openings of these being flush with the upper surface of the tray.
These tubes, which are open at both ends, have a slightly larger diameter than
that of the coins to be introduced, so that on shaking the tray the coins will
fall freely into the tubes without any liability to jam. The height of the tubes
corresponds exactly to the number of coins which it is desired to form into one
pile: preferably such height is made equal to one half the length of a roll of
coins of the number which is ordinarily made up into a parcel, such length being
of course different for each different kind of coin.
In order to be able to see whether the coins are all lying closely one upon
the other in the tubes, these may be formed with longitudinal curved or straight
slots, and for the same purpose the lower ends may be formed with notches, as
shewn at a Fig. 1. which will also facilitate the fitting on of the cases d.
The latter may be of any suitable material, which may be transparent and the
one end thereof is closed by a cap e which may advantageously be of woven
fabric, while the other end has notches or slits f cut in it so as to form
lappets which bend outward on pushing the case over the tube b and fit against
the underside of the tray as shewn at Fig. 1. while when the case is filled with
coin these lappets are folded inwards over the top of the pile, and thus retain
the coin when two cases are turned down to be joined together.
The two cases are joined together by a strip of woven fabric g, cemented round

page_text: the joint. The tray is in the first instance turned upside down and the
cases are fitted over the inverted tubes : the tray being then turned up again.
it is filled with coins which fall into the tubes. When these are full the
superfluous coins are removed, the tray is lifted so as to draw the tubes out of
the cases, leaving the piles of coin in the latter: the lappets are turned over
the top coin and two of the filled cases are joined together as described.

Improved Appliances for Counting Coin and Enclosing the same into
Parcels.
We, NATHAN KON, of Franz-Josefsquai 29, Vienna, Austria, Merchant, and
MANASSE PATZOVSKY. of Villa Gloriette, Hietzing, Vienna, Austria, Gentleman,
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 has for its object to effect the rapid and accurate counting
of coin and at the same time the making up of a certain quantity thereof into
roll-shaped parcels, whereby the present tedious and unreliable mode of counting
coin and making it up into parcels is obviated.
$
For this purpose we employ apparatus consisting of a tray having one or more
openings, to the underside of which are attached cylindrical tubular feet open
at both ends and made of such a length as to contain any desired number of
coins piled flat one on top of the other.
Furthermore, tubular cases are fitted over these tubes that are closed at the
lower end, so that on the tubes being filled with coin and then withdrawn from
the cases, these will be filled with a pile of a certain number of coin so that
on then placing two such filled cases end to end with their open ends together.
and pasting a band round the joint. a closed roll of coin will be produced.
The drawing accompanying our Provisional Specification shews at Fig. 1 the
above described coin fray with tubular feet, in elevation partly in section while
Fig. 2 shows one of the tubular cases, and Fig. 3 two filled cases combined to
form a roll of coin.
The tray which may be of any form has several tubular cylinders fixed
to it, the upper openings of these being flush with the upper surface of the tray.
These tubes, which are open at both ends, have a slightly larger diameter than
that of the coins to be introduced, so that on shaking the tray the coins will
fall freely into the tubes without any liability to jam. The height of the tubes
corresponds exactly to the number of coins which it is desired to form into one
pile preferably such height is made equal to one half the length of a roll of
coins of the number which is ordinarily made up into a parcel, such length being
of course different for each different kind of coin.
In order to be able to see whether the coins are all lying closely one upon
the other in the tubes, these may be formed with longitudinal curved or straight
slots, and for the same purpose the lower ends may be formed with notches as
shewn at c Fig. 1. which will also facilitate the fitting on of the cases .
The latter may be of any suitable material, which may be transparent and the
one end thereof is closed by a cape which may advantageously be of woven
fabric, while the other end has notches or slits f cut in it so as to form

page_text: lappets which bend outward on pushing the case over the tube and fit against
the underside of the tray as shewn at Fig. 1, while when the case is filled with
coin these lappets are folded inwards over the top of the pile, and thus retain
the coin when two cases are turned down to be joined together.
The two cases are joined together by a strip of woven fabric g. cemented round
the joint. The tray is in the first instance turned upside down and the
cases d are fitted over the inverted tubes : the tray being then turned up again,
it is filled with coins which fall into the tubes. When these are full the
superfluous coins are removed, the tray is lifted so as to draw the tubes out of
the cases, leaving the piles of coin in the latter: the lappets are turned over
the top coin and two of the filled cases are joined together as described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is-
-
1. Appliance for counting coin and making the same up into parcels, consisting
of a tray for the reception of the coin having projecting from its underside one
or more tubes open at both ends, the length of which tube or tubes is equal to
a multiple of the thickness of the coin, so that the tubes will become charged
with a definite number of coins from the tray, the column of coin thus produced
being then discharged into a tubular case fitted loosely over the outer surface of
the tube, substantially as described.
2. For use with an appliance for counting coin and making the same into
parcels such as is referred to in the first claim, a tubular coin enveloped the
lower end of which is closed by a cape of woven fabric or other suitable material,
while the upper end is made with slits f so as to form lappets which are folded
over the top coin in the envelope, after which two such envelopes filled with
coin are placed together with their open ends opposite each other, and are
secured together by a band g cemented round both such ends, substantially as
described.
