Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed December 18, 1911. Serial No; 666,524. g
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, CHARLEs-S. BATDORF, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, Kings county, State of New- York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin-Separators, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to improvements 1n coin sorting devices or devices for separating fractional currency'into its several denominations.
The object of the invention is to produce a compact, efficient and economical device for this purpose which may be easlly operated by hand, and in which the separat ng devices are so arranged as to absolutely m-' sure the distribution of the several denominations of coins into their respective compartments.
A further object of. the invention 1s to provide a device of this character in which the coins of the several denominations will be deposited in separate receptacles or boxes which may be .readily removed, and from which the coin may be conveniently wrapped or otherwise disposed of.
With these and other objects in view as will appear fromthe following. detailed descriptionfthe invention consists in a con struction andarrangement of parts, the preferred embodiment of which is illustrated in v the accompanying drawings, in which,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the coin separating device ready for use; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line 2-2, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a fragmentary plan view of one of the separating trays or coin receptacles. Figs. 4 and 5 show details of construction.
In the embodiment of my invention herein selected for illustration, 1 indicates a case, the top 2 of which has an aperture 3 through which the coin may be deposited in the separator. The device may be of any conven;
ient dimensions, but I have found that a with a perforated bottom, the perforations being of a diameter small enough to retain in the receptacle the particular denominat1on of coin for which that tray is intended.
Referring to Fig. 1, it Will be noticed that the trays are graded in size or depth accordmg to the size of coin to be retained therein. For example, the top tray 4 is intended for half dollars; the next below 5 for quarters; the next 6 for five-cent pieces; the next 7 for one-cent pieces, and the bottomtray 8 for dimes. Referring to Fig. 3, showing a plan view of one of these trays, the bottom 9 thereof is provided throughout its area with closely arranged perforations 10. Assuming that this is the tray to receive and retain half dollars, the perforations 10 in the bottom thereof are slightly less in diameter than the diameter of a half dollar and slighty greater than the diameter of a twenty-five-cent piece. Consequently .all coins of less denomination than a half dollar will pass through these perforations. The perforationsin the tray or drawer next below the half dollar drawer bear a similar relation in size to quarters and five-cent pieces; the perforations in the drawer 6 the same relation to five-cent pieces and onecent pieces, etc., while the bottom of the bottom tray 8 is, of course, without perforations inasmuch as this drawer is to retain the coin of least diameter; namely, the tencent pieces.
It will be noticed that the division walls between the perforations are of the least possible area or width consistent with strong construction. It will be noticed also that the perforations are arranged in straight.
lines both from front to rear and from side to side of the tray, and are not staggered Patented Aug. 10, 1915.
relatively to each other so that along all sides of the tray where the coin would naturally lodge, the perforations afford a ready passage for the smaller coin to the tray or trays below. Y
Before describing the construction of the bottom of the tray more in detail, it is advisable to indicate the operation of the device. When the trays are assembled in the casing, as shown in Fig. 1, the mass of mixed coin is deposited through the opening 3 in the top upon the topmost tray. All coins of less diameter than the half dollar, for which this tray is intended, which have reached the bottom of this tray will 20 ers to pass through the perforations in the pass through the perforations therein to the denomination than the perforations in said tray will pass will prevent the passage of coins of smaller denomination, I provide means for tilting and otherwise dislodging the coins one from the other so that all must inevitably be sufficiently freed from the othbottom of the tray, if of the/proper size to do so. To this end I provide a plurality of projections on the perforated bottom between the perforations so that as the device is agitated these projections will break up the mass and dislodge coins which have become stacked one upon the other. In the particular form of my invention here illustrated, these projections are in the form of small cones-l1 located in the spaces 12 between four adjacent perforations. These cones are preferably spaced apart a distance slightly less than the diameter of the coin which the particular tray is intended to retain so that the coins may not lie flat upon the bottom of the tray and thus obstruct the passage of the coins of less diameter. These a little greater than the thickness of the thickest coin and may be as high as a plurality of superposed coins. Furthermore, as the device is agitated, these projections serve to tilt the coins and thus facilitate their passage through the perforations. In order projections may be of a height equal to or the case while the device is being agitated, each of said trays may be provided with a spring 13 in guide roove' 14 which bears against the guide strip 15 on the inner wall of the casing when the tray is in place.
While I have herein described a particular to retain the trays or drawers firmly within embodiment of my invention, it should be perforations in each tray being of less diameter than those of the tray immediately above, and projections'on the bottom of each tray adjacent some of said perforations of a height greater than the thickness of the thickest coin to prevent stacking of the coins in said tray.
2; A coin separating device comprising a plurality of superposed coin receptacles each having a uniformly perforated bottom, the perforations in each tray being of less diameter than those of the tray immediately above, and a conical projection at the junction of the walls of said perforations in each tray to prevent stacking of the coin in said tray.
. 3. A coin separating device comprising a plurality of superposed coin receptacles each having a uniformly perforated bottom, the perforations in each tray being of less diameter than those of the tray immediately above, and conical projections of greater height than the thickness of a plurality of superimposed coins at the junction of the walls of said perforations in each tray to prevent stacking of the coin in said tray.
