To all '1n/0m it may aendern.'

lle-it known that I, TriouAs BILYEU, a citizen-- o1 the United States, .residing at Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and vuseful r'Improvements in Coin-Delivering Machines, of which the following is a specification.

A machine for selecting and delivering money'in predetermined amounts in accordance Aherewith comprises primarily a plurality of holders forvcoins of different de-1 nominations, ejector mechanism composed" connected therefrom, and therefore' not necselectors which are adapted to move the' ejector bars bodily inone ydirection into op* erativfe relation to the actuator aforesaid, and means preferably movable in opposite direction and positively operated by the actuator toA render selected ejector bars inoperative again when the coin delivery operation has been ollected.

lntlic drawings, Figure 1 is :1 plan View ol the nmchine,"certain parts being broken uwayj Fig. E! is a partial rear elevation and partly/Qin sert-ion: Fig. 3 is a transverse vcrtiral scrtion substantially on-the liuc of Fig. l: Fi 4 is a fragmentary let-uil and plan view o? certain parts hereinafter dcscribed', Fig. an elevation of the parts indicated in Fig. 4; Fig. t3 is an end vien o'i.' a part of the mechanism of Fig. 4; Fig. 7 is a detail plan view of one of the keys and the parts connected .for operation therefrom; Fig. 8 is a View in elevation of the same partsl shown in Fig. 7, and Fig.. 9 is a diagram showing one form or arrangement of operating bars for all of the coin` tubes,

Throughout the following description and on the several figures ofthe drawings, similar partsare referred to by like reference Characters. f i

As indicated in Fig. l, the machine inchicles a series of tubes open at their tops for the reception of coins of different denom- 'lars-in units, from 1-9; set of key's'c'repres.nt dimes from l-9, vandfset d represent cents fronti-9. 'f

` vThe arrangement ofv coin tubes show-n includes as many groups as there are sets of keys. The first group of tubes are indicated by the lettersA, B and C, said-group pertaining to the set of keys` a. Thefsecond group of' tubes are indicatedY bythe letters D, E and F and pertain to the set of keys l). 'lhc third group` of tubes are indicated by the lett-ers (i, Il. l. J and K and pertain -to keys of set c. T he fourtlr"groupl of tubes, indicatori by the letters L, ,M and N, pen tain to the set of vkeys d. .Tube is to be supplied with twenty-dollar gold pieces or double. eagles, which are to be' .lelivcrcd therefrom either singly or in twos at the will of the o erator. Tube B is to bc supplied with diduble eagles, which are to hc delivered therefrom always by twos. Tulio ("iz# to be supplied with ten-dollar gold pieces or agles, 'which arr` always to br daliiercd t (frefrom singly. Tube l) is to he supplied with five-dollar gold pieces. whirl] :irc to be delivered therefrom singly. Tube ll is to be supplied with silver dollars, which are to be delivered therefrom either singly or by twos. Tube F'is to be supplied with silver dollars, and is intended to deliver the lsame by twos only. vTube G is to be supplied with half dollars which are to be delivered singly. Tube H is -tol'be supplied with quartersmhich are to be; deli'vf ered singly. Tubes I and J are each to be supplied with dimes, which are tof-be delivered therefrom singly ineach case, itbef ing found in practice thatsirce 'dimes be-v come worn so much by usage,Y itis impossible to rely upon the delivery-of either -one or two from the same tube; as is' thecase with larger coins. Tubes Kand L ,areeachA su'pplied v vith'n'ckeIS,A from eaclr'of which the coins are to-be .delivered singly'. Tube M is supplied ,withilpenniea which a-reA to be deliveredtherefrom either singly or-in twos, and tubel N is supplied withpen'nies, to be delivered in twos only.

Upon depression 'of4 key 1. of set a the ejector mechanism ofl tube Cy will be set to deliver' an .eagle-therefrom. Upon depression of key2 of the sameset the ejector mechanism ofytube yA 'will be set to deliver a double .eagle from-tube' A. The depres sion of key 3 will set thevmechanisms of' both of tubes A and-C so as to deliver $30.

. TheI depression of key 4 will set the mecha'- nism of tube B so as to deliver two'double eagles. The depression key 5 will set the ejector mechanisms of both of tubes B and C. The depression of key 6 'will set the ejector mechanism oftube A to deliver one double e'agle'and that of tube B so as to deliver simultaneously $60. The depression Y of key 7 will add the setting ofthe mechanism of tube C to' that just described. The depression of key 8 willv adjust the delivery mechanism of tubes A and B so as to delire'r two double eagles from'each,'and the 'depressionof key 9 will adjust all ofthevejector mechanisms of this group so as"`to:-

- msm of tube F to deliver $2; the depression of key Bwould set the mechanisms of tubes Eand -F'to deliver $3, and the-depression of key 4wo d set the' same mechanism to deliversSf., he depression of -key 5 would settlie mechanism of tube D to deliver a five-dollar gold piece, and soron'throughout this group. From the foregoing it is believed that the Afunction o r purpose of all the groupsin making the various amounts ther detailed suggestion.

Referring now to the specific construction of the present machine, l denotes a suitable casing'or frame and 2 are holders or tubes hereinbefore referred to, and from the bottom portions of which the coins are adapted tobe delivered.

- Mounted inthe 'rear portion of' the machine and lengthwise thereof an actuator comprising a rock shaft 3 and a plurality of movement therewith. At theirl upper ends the -arlnsf4 are adaptedto coperate with plurality -0 groups of devices arranged to coperate vwith the' various: corresponding groupsof coin holders 2, veach ejector device including a rack 6, constituting an actuat- -ing member, andhavin'g.teeth at its rear -end in mesh with teeth at the upper end of an adjacent arm 4. i The front' end of the 'rack 6 carries a pivoted gravity catch 7 an' opening 7 in the ejector bar 9.

The bar 9 is pivotally connected at its front end, as shown at 10 to anejector slide 11 and said barl 9 is movable in a horizontal plane, or the samevjplane as its ejecting movement so as to begadjusted in a position in which it is in substantial alinement with the parts 6 and 11, whereupon it is operacoin'or coins from the tube or holder 2 therefor. Normally, however, the` various ejector bars 9 are so arranged that their rear ends are not in the paths of movement provided Afor .operating one or morekof the tion in alinementwith corresponding racks thcoins .12 may bedelivered' when the actuator'is operated. The 'selector mechanism ,comprisesa plu-' :'bars" arranged longitudinally of the machine, ijn,v sets .that correspond with the groupsof ejectors and formed with projections 21 extending upwardly therefrom so as ,to engage the ejector bars 9 when the selectors are-operated. lTheselectors are supported in guides 22 and are f operable. by manipulative meansv consisting of sets of 'harsrl and 16 pivotally mounted'at oppor site ends on longitudinal pivot rods 17 and 18 respectively.

which has been'before described, are secured atvtheirlower ends tolateral exten- .sions ori the free ends of the bars 15and 16 and each key has a suitable'fnger piece at its-upper extremity.` Each bar of the 4variof change will be understood without fur-I supported at 8'and 'adapted to engage with of thev racks 6,"suitable selector means beingv ejector bars 9jto movegthe same into a posi,

6 so that when 'thus operatively disposed, y

ous 'sets 15 and A16 cofiperates with onedor' arms or rockers 4 mounted thereon for the `,ejector vmechanism which comprises a' c tive by the actuator-to effect delivery of a",

rality of selectors 20 consisting of sets of u Keys' 11H9: which form lthe rows Va, L, c andd, the loperatiqn of isb shaft 3,. the racks 6 to which the catches 7 'by thedenominations'of'coins which a pre-lf 8, which extends Apara ll el to the rock shaft-'2r more of the selectors '20, being adapted to engagev with a camV 23 on an adjacent end of :rktoeperating selector, whereby on, depres- Sion of the keyl and the bar with which it is connected, 4thelatter will engage 'the cam 23 of one or more Selectors impart to the. latter longitudinal. nnlo'jeinent, cooperation selectors fwit'h' the ejector Ioars 9 tothus move thelatter into alin'ee nient with the racks `6 ready 'for' operation by the actuator. The number of .projec tions or lugs 21 carried by each'selector 20 will depend upon the number of ejector bars `which it is designed that said' selector, shalloperate, and this matterv is governeddeterminedselector will selectin, l

The preferable arrangement -of parts contemplates that there shall be as'many -selectonbars as there are keys 19. and a set ofselector bars will comprise thc-se adjacent to one another and operable by a single row of, the keys of the entirebaukV provided.

yl`heloperation of the device briefly `is as ollovrs: When itis desired to make any particular amount of change, such for example as $417.53, the operator standing in front'of the machine as indicated in F ig. 1, will depress key 4 of set a, indicating the number of 'eagles or tens ofldollars desired, key 7 of set indicating the number of unitsof dollars desired,.key 5 of set c.v indicating the number ofwdimes, and key 3 o'fnset d, indicating the number of cents, lVhen said keys are depressed the 'ejector mechanisms Will be brought into operative positionvlwith reference to tubes B, D, F, G, M and N, all of the other movable members .9 n of the ejector iechanislns remaining in their normal inoperal-ive position, The operator will the` draw upon the lever 29 connected to the rock shaft 3, causing the racks 6, with whiclr the aforesaid. ejector mechanisms have been brought into alineinent, tov move toward the tubes and thereby deliver the desiredcoins from the tubes indicated, all of which would be performed simultaneously by a single sweep or operation of the lever 29. In order to restore .the ejectors to their normal position, the gravity catches 7 are' so arranged as to engage in holes 7a on the free ends of the links 9 at the time the ejectors are operated to discharge or deliver the coins. Lach of the catches will therefore remain in engagement fwith the respective ejector bar f) ,while he coinsl are being delivered, and upon the reverse movement of the lever 29 and rock are pivotcd will drag or .draw the, members 5) nud l1 reamvardlvuntil the rear .end of each of the catches is brought into engagement. with thelower-surtacc of a release rod and substantially throughoutthe lengtlrct the machine. Such engagement of the pawls with the rod 8a necessitates the points or noses thereof to be withdrawn from the links 9.' Slightly further movement or rotation of the rock shaft will' cause a finger 2T extending upwardly therefrom to engage the rear end of a lever 2l pivoted on -a vertical pivot 25, `and-by virtue of a conncctionbetween 'through-a pin and slot connection 26. .The

bai' 28 has lugs upon its uder side for engagementwith the respective ejector bars 9, to .render the latter inoperative. l

From the foregoing, it vvil'lbe understood that the selectors when operated by the inanipulative'j'means comprising the keys 19,` will effect movement of the ejector bars bodily in the plane Vof their ejecting movement, and in one directiomwvhile the bar 28 is operable by movement in the opposite di reetion to restore all'previously selected ejectors 9 to their original position.
