mprovements in Registers for Coin Freed Apparatuses to Prevent the
Fraudulent use of Wire, Paper or other Foreign Matter.
I, CHARLES LAWRENCE, of 85, Dogfield Street, Cathays, Cardiff, in the County
f Glamorganshire, Inventor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in registers for coin freed apparatuses
to prevent the fraudulent use of wire, paper or other foreign matter.
In carrying my invention into practice, I construct in cast metal a suitable
back plate with vertical bars these said bars run parallel to each other and are
rebated to receive a plate; two slots are cut in the plate in order to admit the
top or bottom flaps to enter to cut off the passage. Between the vertical bars
the back plate and the plate the passage is formed. On the aforesaid back plate
I fix by screws a plate, the said plate being provided with a shutter or flap at
the top and the bottom. Above the plate I mount on four pillars a small plate
the object of this plate is to support the spindles for the spür wheels and other
mechanism.
In the apparatus I mount a spring or barrel arbor with a spur wheel and
cog wheel controlled by a click wheel with a pawi and spring.
small
The spring in the barrel is wound up by a key passing over the square spindle.
On the spindle is a lever the end of which is operated by the coin, on this
same spindle is the rocking bar with pins to engage with the spur wheel. On
the spur wheel spindle is mounted a cog wheel which engages with a spur wheel.
On the centre spindle is mounted a small cog wheel which engages with the spur
wheel.
The apparatus is supplied with a cover with a slot at the top, the said cover is
fixed to the back by screws.
The centre spindle drives a cog or ratchet with one or more teeth, when one
tooth comes in contact with another cog wheel at the same time driving or moving
a third wheel, and when the third wheel has gone round once it sends the next
round and so on, in order to register the amount of coin passed through the
apparatus.
Each roller is figured with numerals on its periphery, and revolves with a
pin or projection on off side to ratchet or cog which works in the next roller and
turns it in its turn. The rollers are put on the slant so that the pin or pro-
jection only touches once in going round.
There are discs for the shillings and pence; the pence disc is caught by a
5 pin on the shilling disc in the same manner that the pence drives the shillings,
the shillings each time round drives the pounds rolllers.
The registering is caused by the coin in its decent striking the lever attached to
the spindle operates the pair of pins on the rocking bar. Each time a coin passes
through, it registers one, and by a succession of discs or rollers or both, the pence

from the spring in the barrel, which drives a train of wheels.

Improvements in Registers for Coin Freed Apparatuses to Prevent the
Fraudulent use of Wire, Paper or other Foreign Matter.
I, CHARLES LAWRENCE, of 85, Dogfield Street, Cathays, Cardiff, in the County
of Glamorganshire, Inventor, 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in registers for coin freed apparatuses
to prevent the fraudulent use of wire, paper or other foreign matter.'
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a plan of the top of the register.
Fig. 2, is a view of the interior where the coin passes through, covered with a
thin plate with slots.
Fig. 3, is a front elevation of the register with parts of the cover broken off
in order to show the interior mechanism. The plate his indicated by dotted
lines.
Fig. 4, is a side elevation of the register with the cover removed. The top and
bottom flaps are shown in dotted lines.
Fig. 5, is a section on line A, B, with plate h.
Fig. 6, is a front view of the cover and screwed to the back plate a.
Fig. 7, is a vertical section drawn to an enlarged scale of the top flap e plates c
and h, and bottom flap e'. This figure is broken off for convenience."
In carrying my invention into practice, I construct in cast metal a suitable back
plate a with vertical bars 6 these said bars run parallel to each other and are
rebated to receive a plate c; two slots d are cut in the plate in order to admit
the ends of the top Hape and bottom flap el to enter to cut off the passage f.
Between the vertical bars b the plate e and the plate h the passage is formed,
in which the coin travels from the top flap to the bottom flap and exit at the
base. The top flap e is pivoted to two side plates f' with a counterbalance weight g¹
which holds the said flap e in its normal position as in Fig. 7. .The coin when
dropped in the slot c¹ falls down (as indicated by an arrow) on to the end h¹ of
the Hape and by its weight forces the end of the flap e outwards travelling
down the passage f onto the end of the bottom flap el and exit. The bottom
flap e is pivoted to two side plates and is provided with a returned end ki at
the top and a curved plate which acts as a weight at the bottom to keep the
flap in its normal position. The object of the flaps e and el is to prevent the
fraudulent use of wire, paper or other foreign matter.
On the aforesaid back plate a I fix by screws g a plate h with slots, the said
plate being provided with a shutter or flap at the top and the bottom as above
described. Above the plate I mount on four pillars a small plate; the object
of this plate is to support the spindles for the spur wheels and other mechanism.
In the apparatus I mount a spring or barrel arbor with a spur wheel / and
a small cog wheel m controlled by a click wheel n with a pawl o and spring P.

and are covered with glass plate beneath which numerals appear to indicate
the amount of dollars and cents.
Mounted on the spindle is a disc numbered from 0 to 100 and on its peri-
phery is a single pin which works the next wheel or wheels in order to register
the amount of coin passed through the apparatus. Each roller or wheel is figured
with numerals on its periphery, and revolves with a pin or projection on side
of ratchet which works in the next rollers and turns it in its turn, this portion of
the apparatus I do not claim as my invention.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
