page_text: We, ERNST AUGUST JAHNCKE, of Canonbury Works, Dorset Street, Essex Road,
Islington, in the County of Middlesex, Manufacturer, and HENRY WILLIAM
HERBST, of N° 16 Norfolk Road, Essex Road Islington, in the County of
Middlesex, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of our Invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN METALLIC MONEY BOXES, OR LIKE RECEPTACLES and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
and
Our Invention consists of a safety opening arrangement which creates a check
upon the abstraction of money from metallic money boxes, or like receptacles, as
hereafter described :-We first make a box or receptacle in the required shape,
with the slit for inserting the money, out of sheet metal in the usual way as
shown in Figs. 1 2 in the accompanying Drawing. We then cut a hole or
opening in the required shape or form in the bottom or other suitable part of the
said box or receptacle, as shown in Fig. 1 A*
We then cut a metal
blank in the required shape or form as shown in Fig. 3 Fig. 4. Such blank is
or
and
or
Fig. 24.
next placed between a matrix and mandrel forming
same as shown in Fig. 3 Ab b¹ and in Fig. 3 B and
and
or
or
a "set off" or rebate on the
3C and Fig. 4 A° °1 and in
Fig. 4 B and 4 C. This now forming a cover or closing piece for the said hole or
opening in the said box or receptacle. Such cover is then placed on the said hole
or opening as shown in Fig. 1 Bl Fig. 2 A. This now receiving a quarter of
and
or
and
or
and
or
a turn in either direction will slide the parts b and 6' of Fig. 1B c and c¹ of
Fig. 2 A under the sides of the hole or opening and the said cover so closes the
opening and is secured thereto as shown in Fig. 1 Ca, Fig. 2 Bd. Then
a label bearing the signature or like sign of the controller of such box or
receptacle is made to adhere by means of any suitable substance over the cover or
closing piece of the hole and on to the box. Now, before any of the contents of
the box can be abstracted, it will require to destroy the label to enable the cover
to be removed.
The Fios 1 and 3 relate to one shape of arrangement.

Fig. 4 B, is a front elevation of the same.
Fig. 4 C, is a side elevation of the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-
The closing arrangement as heretofore described and illustrated by accompanying
Drawing.
