' lrl nmrahino will give the ."han 'c most lre Q. quc-ntly required [or one dollar, with the action of one or two levers, and to give any 'pensivc, whiie having the new feature fitted. to receive.

' form adapted to receive a inner ,change requires the use of only one, two or three lovers out of a total of only ten levers.

This makesthe, machine simple and inexs of 3 showing the coin delivered at each e15 and also the total amount of coin delivered from each tube.

The machine is especially adapted for railways and public places, through its coin de livery receptacle, which instantly-drops all;

coins within it into the hand operatingit.

The framework of the machine consists of uprights A at each side of the machine, andv o horizontals C B J, and the top indicating hoX T between the uprights, all made of wood or metal and suitably fastened. together. The plate J has six holes lcfitted to receive the coin tubes L, and provided with flanges to hold the tubes perfectly upright, andwith set screws (1 to keep them in position. 4 coin tubes are arranged to hold. centpi'eces'in the right hand'tube, five=oent pieces in the next tube, ten cent pieces in the tweedjoih ing tubes, twenty-five cent pieces in then'eiit tube, andfifty cent pieces in the left hand tube. The tubes are'cut away in front-above the supporting flanges, so that their c'ofi'itents may be visible, and so that they may be 'fill'ed by tipping the coins slightly. Each tube has a collar upon it to prevent its slipping. Under each tube is a slide E, Whose central part is the thickness of the ooin'the tube is by which the slides are held. in place upon the.

table B. Each slide has a hole y in it adapt- The edges of the slides are thicker and are slotted to fit the guides b l),

a new coin will clro ireely'into the hole 1 and the edgeof this ole y in the slide should he beveled, so that only the central ,art of the edge of the ooin'slide E will stri-ie the coin, as shown in l6. Thei'ront edge of the slide E may project above the slide in-a the hand by which the slide may li'ae'witnd aw ito amp its coin, and a v -in'g S is seen; d .othe slide and to the tableto return. the sl de. i have shown the edge of the slide E rejecting fore ward in two ears I) b, which ave between them a friction roller a; and the lever H whose upper end is provided with a finger pull h..

the levers H and to pieces h projecting,

above the plated to return the levers after they have been withdrawn by the finger. The lever H is not necessary, but is advisable when the coin tubes D are long.

It is evident that the hole "2/ in the table B may be placed behind the tube D, and the coins dropped by pushing the lever back and ad'usting the spring to ush it forward By pulling the lever attac ed to the slide con-- taining five cent pieces, one will be dropped through the table. By pulling the lever attached to the next slide containing ten cent pieces, one will be dropped. To obtain fifteen cents I provide a lever H between those directl in front of the coin slides and near the top extend'the lever in both directions by cross pieces e e, one of which fits against the piece 6 on the slide E under the five cent tube, and the other fits against the piece e onthe slide under the tube holding ten cent pieces. It is evident that when the lever H .with the pieces e e is drawn forward that the slides under the tubes holdin five and ten cent pieces will move forwar and drop fifteen cents.- .In the same way the" lever between the two-tubes holding ten cent pieces will drop twenty cents, that between the tubes holding ten cent pieces and twenty-five 1 cent )ieces will dro arm K entering the tube, and thus dropping thirty-five cents, and that etween the tu es holding twenty-five cent pieces and fifty cent pieces will drop seventy-five cents. The upper ends of the levers H are-formed into finger pulls it upon which I stamp the value of. the coin delivered by the lover. I prefer to place the finger pulls for the levers actuating two slides higher than those upon levers moving only one slide. At the right of the tube for live cent pieces, lgplace one or more tubes for cent pieces. wenerally in simple machines I prefer to use one tube, and obtain more than one cent by repeating the movements of the lever. It is evident that the principle of my machine may be applied to a greater number ofcoin tubes so as to produce any desired change from one dollar, by the action of one lever only. i

To prevent motion'of the slides E when the tubes 1) are empty, I out a hole d through thei lower end of the tube D, adapted to permit the roller 0 attached to the pivoted the outer end of the arm K so thatit catches u on the projecting edge e" of the slide E.

hen the coins fill the tube above the level of the roller'cfthey hold the arm K above ssaaco the locking arm ld against the screws. This chute has a central opening in'its lower surface, and is so 'formed'as to drop all the coins falling into the chute from this one opening, so that they may be readily caught by a hand placed belowit. I preter to use, however, a receptacle designed to receive the coins as they drop from the chute F, and to hold them until they are dropped into the hand placed below the bowl and acting on the discharging mechanism.-- The chute F may have its discharge opening for the coins in the center} both ways, as shown, or it'may be placed at either side and in the center'from front to back, or the chute may be extended forward so as to deliver the coins at any desired distance in front of the coin holding tubes, and instead of the chute dro ping the coins into a coin receptacle closed by the'sliding gate, this gate may be fitted directly to the end of the chute F, and operated by the motion of the tube L without departing from the spirit of my invention. This coin holding device may consist of a simple hollow tray or dish, capable of being tilted and of sliding the coins within it into a hand placed below it,

but I prefer to use a bowl and a discharging mechanism, consisting of ahollow tube whose lower end is ada ted to fit the palm of the hand snugly, an which is capab.

that the coins fal from it into the tube.

e of .motion and of opening the bowl above,so

I have shown the tube L in the form'of a hollow tunnel having flanges L at" each side, secured between the parts N 'N, which I form a yoke supporting the tube .IJ .by means of the screws n. The'inner screw .n'has atcollar m uponit to prevent too great re'ssure. upon the glass flan es. '1 have s own a doe that the coins'witliin it may be visible, and I prefer to make the tube L of glass. The bowl Gis held by straps M and M encircling its upper edge andgrooved to fit the thickened edge of the bowl, and secured together by the screws 91/. The strap M has its ends bored to fit upon the bolts '1 n which are screwed into the base V. The bolts n n have about them tubes 0 0.: The lower portions of the tubes being larger than the upper, serve as supports for the yoke N, which has its ends bored to slide freely upon the upper parts of the tubes O 0. tubes 0 0 support the straps M and M and when the bolts n n are secured tight, a rigid frame is rodueed. The lower part of the bowl G made of g ass so The back of t e bowl G is cut away, and the its edge with metal. The upper part of the I "wheel C5.

tubes.

- shallow trey P, which the weight extendin the strap M downward to sup-- orttheimwer port of the bowl G and ire-tine shutter? is carried out and rests over the bo-cl; of the yoke N, so that when the hand lifts the tube L the yoke N lifts the slide Y and allows the coins in the bowl G to fall into the tuhc ii. To insure oil the coins being held by the hand applied at the lower end of the tube ii, may place upon the lower edge of the tube a soft rubber collar L with e yielding edge sdcptcd to conform closely to the hand. U on the yoke Ncnd about the tubes 0 O i pllice spiral springs m to insure quick return oi the tube, and under the yoke are washers Z ofrubbcr or leather to soften the. fall. To insure the slide Y closing the opening after it has been lifted by the yoke, e. bolt Z is passed through the to of the slide Y into the yoke N, and a. spiral spring K placed noon the bolt Z.

ihe details of this coin delivery bowl in-re unimportant, as they may beerrangcd in various ways, so to empty the upper bowl G through motion of the tube L below it, or of suitable carts connected thereto, and I belicve the principle involved is en tirely new.

To register the number of coins delivered, c meter it is sttscl'icd to the table under each tube, with suitable means for registering upon it the passage of coins from the tube above. 1? desired, one ureter may he so cdjustcd as to register all the coins fromnll the The meter it is supported between two plates 1}" F which are secured to the under side of the table l3, and which support the spindle o. This spindleextends outside the plates F under the slide E and has upon it a weighted lever carrying at its outer end 3. I keepsin a horizontal position under the teblll B, until a coin falls into it, when it rotates with. the weight of the coin until the balanced finger W has lifted up one tooth of the sjuoclrct By means of the screw 61' the motion oi the lover may be stopped so us; to secure the motion oi exuctl; one tooth of the SliQGliGt and the tray P is formed as to drop the coin when one tooth or" the sprocket has been revolved.

To indicate the dro 'rping of the coins by such action oi the lovers, i provide or box i extending across the top of the machine. its-case msy bc oil wood or n'icicl. At the trout and back or". this case T are openings p, which may be covered with glass. Within the box. a sliding shutter v is placed at one sice, and just behind it another r, and upon'thcin the some "figures are placed. The shutters r r arc connected by a bar 1", end the her carries a vertical spring 15" having a hook. r at its upper end adopted to catch upon the bar 'The bar f is adapted to Y a scuare drurn i is a spiral or helical spring i slide in suitable guides, and is held in position in them above 10 book 1 by springs f bearing on the case '1, and the edge of the rod The bar f has two slots cut in it adapted to receive the wedge-slumped ends oi the push rods U U. Those ends also bear in slots cut in the bottom of the use T, and not in line with those in. the barf, so that when the push rods U U are lifted up, the bcrfwill be moved, and release tho hook r, and drop the shutter. When the rods U U are dropped, the springs f return the bar to its position over the hooks r- The shutters r r" are lifted by means of cords a, which run over the pulleys g and i and ere attached to 6 es e iro'ectim from the levers H. When the shutters r r are held up by the bar f, the figures upon the shutters are visible through the o cnings ut the front and the back of the box '1, and thus both cashier and buyer see the figures which tell the coins which have been dropped throu h the chute F. into the coin bowl G. This oowl being of glass and its contents visible, the directions printed upon the base V to obtain the coins by )lncing the hand be low the holder, and pushing it upward, are readily understood and carried out.

The push rods U U are secured to tho mow able yoke N which holds the delivery tube 9 and moving upward with it thoyreleu-sc the shutters so that the some motion which delivers the coins causes all the shutters to disappear from sight. When one tube is used to deliver one cent pieces, it is necessary to show the figures l, 2, 3, or 4-, according to the motion of the slide which drops one, two, three or four cents. For this purpose a. sin: tter 12, with a s ")ring catch t secured to it is used, and lifted up to show the drum behind it by a pin .9", which projects fron'i'tho drum zfi and. pushes the shutter up as the drum rcvolvcs. The drum 6 has tl1efigurcsl,2, 3, 4,

upon its surface, which may be in the form of prism to receive the figures. Vrithin t secured to the rigid arbor of the drum, and its inner surlcce, and tending to revolve the drum upon its arbor. This drum 2* has iittcd upon its outer surface a hollow cylinder i uduptcd to revolve upon the drum i, and con tcining a spring secured to its inner surface and the outer surface of the drum 2%, and udu pted to revolve the outer druin upon the inner one in the some direction that the inner one is revolved by its spring. The drum 6 has at one end the ratchet s, in which the pew] engages, and rcvents revolution ox ocpt in one direction. 'l lic outer drum i lHLS wound upon its outer surface acord or? attached to the lover operating the slide under the tube containing the cent coins. l/ Jhm this lcvol' is drawn. out, tllc'cord turns the drum 1'. and by means of a spring pawl if. attached to the drum 3 cndworking into the ratchet s it turns the drum 6 and lifts the shutter n" and displays the figure 1. The next motion shows the figure 2, the next the figure 3 and the next the. figure 4. When. the figure 4 is shown,

5 the pins comes. against the stop s", and prevents further motion. When the coins are dro ped into the hand, the motion of the pus rods U U moves the barf which strikes upon the pawl 25 and lifts it from the ratchet s, and drops the shutter 11/ and allows the drum t to return to its original position. The push rods U U may be straight rods extendingup through holes in the chute F and table B, or they may be bent as in the figures, in which case the one shown in Figs. 14 and 15 is shorter than the other, and the barf is extended downward to meet it by the'piece f. The coin receptacle under the chute F may be used in all places where change is required without the delivery machine shown above it, to the great advantage of the public, as much time is now lost in picking up change, coin by coin, when gloves are worn, and 1 believe the device shown is a new article of manufacture to be claimed broadly.
