ASSIGMOR TO ATJIERICAN CAN Clw- To all whom 'it mail concern Be -it known that I, Wimmer P. @mi LANY, al citizen of the United States9 residing in Maywood, in the county of Cook and State'of Illinois, have invented a new and l useful improvement in Change-Melting ldainvention consists in =ing my improvements, in their useful chines, of which the following is a specification.

The invention has special relation to a change-'carrier separable from the rest of the machine, and adapted, when in place, to deliver' coins to the ejecting mechanism.; also to impiioved means for locking; the coinejecting mechanism when insufficient coins are present in the coin reservoirs; and the the parts and comhinations thereof hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In order to make the invention more clearly understood l have shown in the ac companying drawings means 'for carrying the same into practical effect Without linut-- ap plications, to the practical construction which, for the ,purpose of example, li have illustrated.- ln the said drmvinpgsz-v Figure 1 is a 'perspective vieiv of a coin change-makingmachine embodying; the invention.

showinga in elevation one oi' the devices :for removably holdingV in place the coin carrier,

Referring to the drawings, l is a casino; or shell, preferably of sheet metal, adapted to inclose the greater part of the mechanism, Yil is a frame within the casing, the back- Wa-rdly and downwardly inclined top plate 21 of which formed with apertures 3 of various sizes through which different denominations ot coins are adapted to pass downward into a chute l? which is arranged to deliver the coins to a tiltahle shelf All at the front of the machine. -This sholt' is inclosed ley a ioruf'ardly extending' part (i of 4the c.- r l and is niovahly supported by a spring '4. it may be tilted down hy means ofa handle 3, as shown in Fig. 2, to deliver into the hand of the operator any change`- making' collection of coins. The shelfl il may he held depressed and open against the 'pressure oi the spring 'l' by means ot' a cain 9 pivoted to the casing (i at 61 and havingr an operatin` iandle extending out through a slot 1l.. Y

t l is a hach frame plate arranged at about right angles to the top plate ot the frame 2 and extending upward an'd baisliivard therefrom at a point distance from the front o? the machine. it is attached to said top plate and Vlfraced by plates or brackets lil. The hach part ot the fusing l extends over' and incloses 'the margin of the plate 12 by a -tlange ll. l5 is a removable change-carrier (Fig. 8) adapted to be separated from the rest oi? the machine and put in a place of safety when the machine is not in use. lt comprises a. hack plate 16 adapted to fit against the front oi2 the fixed plate l2, a bottom shelf plate 17 perforated at 'for the passage of coins, and semi-tubular coin reservoirs Cn l0, 25 and 50 of different sizes to fit the different coins used in making change; as shown, the reservoirs.y from left to right in Fig. 8. are shaped respectively I l n n for nickels, dimes, halt-dollars, dunes and` Milli Aranged between the rear with the top of the plate 2, the latter being formed with (Fig. 6) down into which the supports 19 may extend when the carrier l5 is in place. The rear of the plate 1G is provided with tongues 22 adapted to lit inslots 23 formed in the iiXed back plate l2. At each side the carrier plate 1G is provided with thumb rests 24 and finger levers 26, the latter being pivoted tothe carrier l5 at 27, controlled by springs 28 and formedy at their rear ends with catches 29 adapted to Venter slots 30 in the fixed plate l2 and engage a shoulder thereof to hold the carrier removably but lirmly in place.

3l is an ejecting slide, one of which is provided for each coin reservoir. The slide is provided (Fig 3 and 6) with downwardly extending lugs which lit in longitudinal slots formed in the plate 2, whereby the slides are guided in a forward and backward reciprocation. The plate 2 may be recessed so as to thus guide the slide, as shown at. 3st. The slide is cut out at 35 to form an opening tp receive the lowest coin of the stack and p e'rnrit itI to slide forward, from under the other coins, on thetop surfaces of the plate 2 and supjiorts 19. This forward sliding of the coin is caused by the ejecting slide 3l, the rearl part 3G of the opening 35 acting as a pusher. 4 The slide is normally held retractedby a-spring 37.

Each ejecting slide is engaged, in a recess or slot` 3S, by the rear, upper, forwardly propelling end 39 of a lever 40, these levers being pivotally mounted on a` transverse shaft or rod .ll, and thereon spaced apart by a partition 4:2 in which are formed slots for the levers to work in. They are also guided in vertical planes :ai: :hei rear ends by a curved fixed plate i3 slotted at 44 to receive the levers. The lever for the slide ot the coin reservoir 50 iscontinued forward to form a key lever l5 (Fig. 5) provided with a Iinger button 46 by which it may be depressed. The key levers for the other ejecting slides are shown at 47, provided with linger buttons 18, and are separate from the levers 40 which they actuate and operate them by means of a suitable number of independent yokes 49. These yokes are pivoted by their forwardly :extending arms on the rod l1 and are ara rms 51 of the key iev is 47 and the slide propelling levers 110, so that an arm 5l. may ward, and the yoke may push upward one 0r more ot the levers 4() and actuate corresponding ejecting slides to deliver the desired ainount of change. The upper sides of the arms 5l are recessed so as to actuate certain yokes and not actuate others,`and the under sides of the levers are recessed so as not to be actuated by certain yokes and be actuated by others, with a result that the key levers 47 have a selective operation as to depressions or openings 2lcordmg to the vslide-locking the delivery of an push a yoke 49 11p-- pushing forward the coin-ejeeting slides. rllhis part of the machine is construct-ed acconstruction and arrangement set forth in my pending application-Serial made for the details ofform and arrangement ofthe said parts. Each of the buttons 46. 4S, is marked with a number l) showing the total amount of change which the depression of its lever will'cause to be ejected from the coin reservoirs, by the slide or slides 3l operated b v such depression, and to pass down the chute -l/onto the shelf 41.

indicates lock levers (Fig. il), one beueath each slide 31. pivoted at 53 to the under side of the plate 2 so that an upward projection 5l ou its front arm will be encountered and held down by the bottom coin of a stack, the lever being so held in contact with the coin by its rear arm 55 which in such position bears against the under sidel of the plate 21 (Fig. 5). The arm 55 and the plate 21 are slotted at 56, 57, to allow of the oscillation of the lever end 39. 58 indicates projections ontho front arm of the lever 52, which are shorter than the-pro jection 5l and normally have their points just below the top surface of the plate 21 so that the slide cannot ,catch thereon, when the coins, by engaging the projection 54, hold. the front end of the lever down in normal position (Figi). The arrangement is such that if thereis a coinin each reservoir whose slide 31 is 4operatively connected with the key which lmay be touched.I theV said slides will'all come forward and eject the complete amount of change indicated by the key. If however'the coin reservoir of any i such slide has no coin in it the lever 52 of such slide will assume the position shown in Fig. 7, by reason of the superior gravity of .the rear arm 55 and the absence of a coin to hold down the projection 54, whereupon the front end of the slide will be engaged by the projections 58 and the slide will be locked, and so will the connected key lever if it be attempted to be depressed, and no coin will be ejected. This locking prevents incorrect amount of change, and signals that the coin in some reservoir is exhausted. 59 is a slot formed in the slide 3lv to enable the slide to advance past the projection 54. 6() indicates a penny` changing attachment, which is more fully set forth in my said otherapplication.

From the preceding description it will be seen that I have provided a coin change-mak- TT),(SGI.-l, to which reference is hereby i parts and adapted to latches mounted on the coin reservoir and engaging behind parts of, the casing, one latch at each side of the reservoir, said latches being on them; and
