I JOHN BRANDENBURG of 39 Ormside Street Old Kent Road Peckham S.E.
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to coin freed apparatus for the sale and delivery of
articles.
The objects of this invention are to provide means for closing the entrance
to the coin shoot after a coin has been inserted to prevent the insertion of a second
coin before the article for the first coin has been delivered, also to prevent defrauding
and tempering with the apparatus.
The apparatus or coin shoot is mainly constructed in two parts; the lower part of
the coinshoot is fixed on the front plate in which the coinslots are cut.
The upper
part of the coinshoot is moveable on an axle with two pivots and when out of
work in a slanding position so that the opening of the coin shoot and coin slots in
the front plate are corresponding. The lower half of the upper part of the coin
shoot has a groove in which an arm is projected fixed on the frout plate and
leading the way to the lower or fixed part of the coin shoot. The upper half of
the moveable coinshoot has a flange for the purpose of closing the coinslot in the
front plate. When a coin is inserted it falls against the projected arm in the
lower half of the moveable upper part of the coin shoot and by sliding along
the arm to the opening of the fixed part of the coin shoot it moves the moveable
coin shoot and brings the flange on the same in front of the coin slot in the front
plate.
The coin in the coin shoot brings the mechanism of the machine in motion
and at the same moment the article is delivered the coin falls into the coin
receptacle and the moveable part of the coiù shoot goes back in its original
position.

Improvement in Coin-freed Apparatus.
1 JOHN BRANDENBURG of 39 Ormside Street Old Kent Road Peckham
London S.E. Engineer 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 improvements in coinfreed apparatus for the sale and
delivery of articles and more particularly to that class of apparatus described and
illustrated in and by the Specification of Letters Patent granted to me No. 3169
dated the 13th day of February 1895.
The objects of this invention are to provide means for closing the entrance to the
coinshoot after a coin has been inserted, to prevent the insertion of a second coin
before the article for the first coin has been delivered, also to prevent defrauding
and tampering with the machines.

page_text: The apparatus or coinshoot is mainly constructed in two parts B and D Fig. 1.
The lower part D Fig. 1, 4 and 5 is fixed on to the front plate A in which the
coinslots F Fig. 2 and 3 are cut. The upper part B (Fig. 1) of the coinshoot is
moveable on an axle E (Fig. 1 to 6) and when out of work in a slanting position
as shewn in Fig. 2 and 4 so that the openings of the coinshoot and coinslot in the
front plate A are corresponding. The lower half of the moveable part B Fig. 1 has
a groove Gin which an arm H Fig. 1, 4, 5, and 6 is projected, fixed on to the
front plate A and leading the way to the lower or fixed part of the coinshoot D
Fig. 1, 4 and 5. The moveable coinshoot B has a flange C (Fig. 1, 4, & 5) for the
purpose of closing the coinslot F in the front plate.
Fig. 1 shows side view of apparatus.
Fig. 2 shows front view with the opening of the moveable coinshoot corresponding
with the coinslot.
Fig. 3. shows front view with the moveable coinshoot corresponding with the
lower or fixed part of the coinshoot and the coinslot shut.
Fig. 4 and 5 shows back views in the same position as Fig. 2 and 3 respectively.
Fig. 6 is a section view through 1, 2. Fig. 5.
When the coin is inserted it falls against the projected arm H in the lower half
of the moveable coinshoot and by sliding along that arm to the opening of the fixed
part of the coin shoot it moves the moveable coin shoot and brings the flange on
the same in the front of the coinslot in the front plate as shewn in Fig. 3 and 5.
The coin in the coinshoot falls against an arm of a lever, sets the mechanism in
motion and at the moment the article in this way paid for is delivered the coin
falls into the coin receptacle and the moveable part of the coin shoot goes back in
its original position as shown in Fig. 2 & 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what way & manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a coinfreed machine or apparatus a moveable coinshoot with flange, groove
and axle, constructed and arranged substantially as & for the purpose hereinbefore
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. In a coinfreed machine or apparatus the combination and arrangements of the
moveable coinshoot with the fixed coinshoot worked and operated with a fixed
projecting arm as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
Dated this 31st day of March 1896.
