ADJUSTABLE CURVE FOR CASH-CARRIERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 404,896, dated June 11, 1889.

Application filed January 25, 1889. Serial No. 297,500. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK S. OH URGH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ovid, county of Clinton, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Adjustable Ourves for Cash-Carrier Apparatus;- and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will ,enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My invention has for its object the provision of an adjustable curve for cash-carrier apparatuses; and it consists of a combination of devices hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved curve. Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the manner of supporting the wire. Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the track and one of the supporting-arms. Fig. 4 is a detail, partly in section, of one of the supporting-arms.

In carrying out my invention, A represents a curved track-section, around which the wire B is stretched, and on which the car rides in turning the curve.

O C are arms extending from the hanger D,which may either descend from the ceiling or rise from the counter or be attached to any suitable fixture.

E are turn-buckles adapted to lengthen or shorten the supporting-arms O, and thus permit the curved track-section to be set at a greater or less angle, as desired.

Of course I do not limit myself to the specific means shown for varying the length of thearms 0, since any mechanism for accomplishing the same result would obviously be contemplated by my invention. At its ends the curved track-section A may be beveled, as at a, and thus permit the car to readily ride on or off the curved track-section. Although, ordinarily, the wire would be stretched around the curved track-section, yet I do not limit myself to this construction, since, if desired, the wire might terminate at and be fastened to the ends of the curved track-section.

That I claim is 1. In a store-service apparatus, a curved track-section having arms for supporting the same, one or more of said arms being adjustable and adapted to vary the curvature of said section, substantially as described.

2. In a store-service apparatus, a curved traclescction having arms for supporting the same, one or more of said arms being provided with a turn-buckle for lengthening or shortening the arms, substantially as described.

3. A curve for the track of a cash-carrier apparatus, consisting of a curved track-section supported midway between its ends by a fixed arm and adjustable arms located on
