1. JOSEPH SAMUEL WILDAY of 2, Saint Thomas' Villas, The Butts, Coventry
in the County of Warwick, Watch. Case Maker, do hereby declare, the nature of
this invention to be as follows:
My improvements have for their object to provide means. so that the contents of
sovereign, ticket, or like purses may be got out in a more convenient manner
than hitherto.
I provide the cover or lid of the purses with two slits, one slit is for the coin or
ticket to pass out' through, and the other slit is fitted with a catch; this catch; on
the one side of the cover or lid engages the edge of the coin. or ticket and on the
other side, the outside, it has a small projection so that the catch can be moved in
its slit to and fro with the fingers.
:
When a coin or ticket is wanted, it will be seen, that all that is necessary is to
move the catch forward. in its. slit when the coin or ticket will also be moved
forward and will be delivered or discharged. into the hand from the second slit
without any further trouble.

:
I, JOSEPH SAMUEL WILDAY of 2, Saint Thomas' Villas, The Butts, Coventry,
in the County of Warwick, Watch Case Maker, 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 sovereign purses and has for its object
a means whereby the contents thereof may be got at in a more convenient aud
effective manner than hitherto.
My invention consists of a movable carrier platform provided and controlled
by a spring and working within a well or container fitted and arranged with a
crown plate, having an open mouth for the egress of the coin, as hereinafter
described, and which said well or container is centrally. fitted within the body of
a watch-like case, provided with a hinged lid, having a coin slot cut therein,
and also a catch or pusher for the purpose of delivering a coin when required.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying sheet of drawings represents a top side elevation of
n sovereign, ticket, or like purse, arranged and fitted according to my said invention.
This view illustrates the coin slot through which the coin is delivered, and also the
catch or pusher pin and its slot for the delivery of the said coin.

page_text: Fig. 2 is a transverse, vertical section on the dotted line, Fig. 1, showing five
coins, or their equivalents, in the container, resting between the carrier platform
and the under side face of the crown plate, also the coin delivery slot, and the
means for such delivery.
Fig. 3 is a like section as- Fig. 2, but with the parts in the positions they assume
on a coin being delivered.
Fig. 4 is a top side elevation of Fig. 3 which illustrates the coin presented.
Fig. 5 is a top side view of my improved sovereign purse with the lid open and
shown in section. This view illustrates the crown plate of the well or container
provided with a clearance to allow of the free working of the pusher pin or catch,
whilst Fig. 6 is an edge view of Fig. 5, and clearly shows the open mouth of the
crown plate of the well or container, and the coin slot in the hinged lid through
which the coin is presented.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures
of the sheet of drawings.
a is a circular well or container; provided with a crown plate a?, having a clearance
slota therein, and also an open mouth a' through which the coin is slid when being
delivered.
...This said well or container.atis fitted within the interior of the body part b² of a
watch caseib, close at its top part 6, and having a rabated edge 6 for the reception
of a flange ofundidsc, jointed to the part batc, and provided with a long slot c
within which a pusher pint or catched traverses, and also a coin slot. through
which the coin is presented to be taken from the purse.:
Fitted-and-working within the container or wall a is a circular carrier platform e,
having a spring e confined between the lower part of the casing and the
underside of the carrier platforme, and which said spring e.is arranged to feed
up or lift the coins f carried by the said platform as the same are delivered one by
one to the recipient.
The coins, carried by the carrier platform e, through the pressure exerted by
the spring are pressed upwards, the top coin f¹ coming against the underside of
the crown plate a, and which said coin, though in a position for delivery, is held
fast by the friction created between its top surface and the under surface of the
crown plate as aforesaid.
Thus it will be understood that through the medium of the carrier platform and
its spring, so long as any coins remain in the container, one will always be presented
in a position ready to be delivered, but will be rigidly held until pushed forward by
the catch or pusher pind, which is slid forward by the.recipient into the positions
illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4.
When this presented coin is taken by the recipient the pusher dis taken back to
ité position, as shown in Fig. 2, when, through the medium of the carrier platform
And its spring, another coin is raised into a position to be delivered and is held by
frictional contact, as before described, until the pusher d is again operated.
The purse can be refilled by opening the lid and introducing the coins through
the open part a', and between the platform and the crown plate one by one.
Having now particularly described. and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is
11. In sovereign, ticket, and like purses, the employment of a sliding pusher,
projection, or catch for the purpose described and set forth..
2. In sovereign, ticket, and like purses, the combination with a sliding pusher,
projection or catch (d), working in a slot (d), of a coin slot (c), substantially, as
described and for the purpose as set forth..
3. In sovereign, ticket, and like purses, the combination with a circular well or
container (a), having a crown plate (a) with, an open, mouth (a), and a carrier
platform (e) operated by a spring (*), of a sliding pusher, projection, or catch (d)
t

page_text: working in a slot (04), and a coin slot (0%), the whole arranged substantially as
described and set forth.
4. The arrangement, fitting, and combination of the parts as set forth.
