IMPROVEMENTS IN COIN CYLINDERS WITH DEVICE FOR EJECTING THE COINS to be as follows:-
Year: 1885

page_text: I RICHARD GRUMBACH of the town of Pforzheim in the Grand Duchy of Baden,
and German Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN COIN CYLINDERS WITH DEVICE FOR EJECTING THE COINS
to be as follows:-
"
My invention relates to improvements in coin cylinders with device for ejecting
the coins.
According to my said invention each kind or sort of coin is enclosed in a separate
tubular receptacle which said receptacles are arranged side by side on a suitable
base of wood metal or other suitable material-The coins in the said tubular
receptacles are pressed forwards by a spiral or helical spring against a plate arranged
at or near the one end of the said tubular coin receptacle. The said tubular
receptacle is cut through from the lower part to the centre of the tube immediately
to the rear of the aforesaid plate so that the foremost coin will always lay above
this said cut slot or opening which is of like breadth with the thickness of the
coin which will be constantly kept in frictional contact with the aforenamed plate.
A forked or bent pin, peg or ejector is arranged in vertical position immediately
to the rear of the said plate with the one arm above the foremost coin whilst the
other arm is surrounded by a helical spring the one end of which rests against the
interior lower surface of the coin receptacle, the other against a disc or collar fixed
to the foremost leg of the said coin ejector.
If the forked pin, peg or ejector, which is at the upper bent end provided with
a suitable disc, button or knob, is depressed by means of the finger the foremost
coin in the coin receptacle will be forced out of the same and falls either onto an
inclined surface of the base or direct onto the counter or other table.
As soon as the finger is removed from the knob the spiral spring will at once
return the coin ejector.to its original position whereupon the helical spring in the
interior of the coin receptacle will at once push the next coin into the position
formerly occupied by the coin ejected in the foredescribed manner.
The coin ejector can be made in various shapes or forms can be for instance
arranged in the form of a telescope slide with ejector arm or pin attached to the
same, the latter being surrounded by a helical spring having its bearing at the one
end against the closed top of the telescopic slide and at the other on the exterior

page_text: surface of the coin receptacle or a similar ejector to that first described can be
employed and a flat or leaf spring fixed to the outer lower surface of the coin
receptacle for returning the said coin ejector to its original position or the said coin
ejector can be attached direct to a flat or leaf spring rivetted or otherwise attached
to the outer upper surface of the coin receptacle and provided with an appropriate
knob.
The forward end of the coin receptacle can be closed in various manners: by
drawing the coin receptacle from one piece of metal and leaving the forward end
closed, by soldering in a suitable disc or screwing an appropriate cap in or onto
the same.
The rear cap which serves as bearing for the helical pressure screw and for closing
the said rear end of the coin receptacle is fixed to the said rear end of the coin
receptacle by screwing the same into or onto the end of the said receptacle, by
means of a suitable bayonet catch or in other appropriate manner; the coins being
introduced into the said receptacle from this said rear end.
My said improved coin receptacles can be provided with a fine longitudinal slot
running at the top, side or bottom of the said receptacle for a suitable distance so
as to permit the operator to count the number of coins in the same or to ascertain
that coins are still contained in the same.
Instead of employing a series of coin receptacles attached to a base, single
receptacles can be used for carrying in the pocket or elsewhere and the coin ejector
so arranged that unnecessary wear and tear of the pocket is avoided.

closed, by soldering in a suitable disc or screwing an appropriate cap in or onto
the same.
The rear cap f which serves as bearing for the helical pressure screw a and for
closing the said rear end of the coin receptacle A, is fixed to the said rear end of
the coin receptacle A by screwing the same into or onto the end of the said
receptacle A, by means of a suitable bayonet catch or in other appropriate manner,
the coins, b, being introduced into the said receptacle A, from this said rear end.
My said improved coin receptacle A can be provided with a fine longitudinal slot
running at the top, side or bottom of the said receptacle for a suitable distance so
as to permit the operator to count the number of coins in the same or to ascertain
that coins are still contained in the said receptacle.
Instead of employing a series of coin receptacles attached to a base B, single
receptacles can be used for carrying in the pocket or elsewhere and the coin ejector
BO arranged that unnecessary wear and tear of the pocket is avoided.
It will be evident to all persons, that my said improved coin cylinder with
ejecting device as described in the foregoing specification can be modified in various
ways without in any way departing from the tenor of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
In coin cylinders with device for ejecting the coins the application, construction
and employment of my improved apparatus or any mere modification of the same,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth in the foregoing specification and
represented on the accompanying drawings.
