VENDING- MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 441,259, dated November 25, 1890. Application filed January 2'7, 1890. Serial No- 3381Z66. (N0 model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, PHILIP L. SYLvEsTER, of the city of Auburn, New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vending-Machines, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
This invention is in the nature of an improvement upon the vending-machine set forth in an application filed by me in the United States Patent Office December 30, 1889, which is numbered 335,377; and it consists in certain new constructions and arrangements of mechanism tending to simplify the machine referred to, and in the adaptation of a magnet to that machine or to others possessing analogous coin -ducts, whereby the machine is protected from being operated by pieces of iron or other magnet-izable metals, as well as by disks of cardboard or other light material, by means hereinafter described.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an external side view; Fig. 2, aside view with side of casing removed; Fig. 3, a front view of the machine open, and Fig. 4 the swinging coin-duct removed from the machine.
A is an inclosing-case, within which is a box B of the articles to be sold, secured in position by a stop a.
O is the casing of the machine; D, a door \Vithin the casing a shaft 1) is supported at its extremities in bearings, which for ease of construction are shown as slotted in the casing-walls at c. A button d, Fig. 3, covers the end of this slot. A spring 6 tends to hold this shaft with its attachments in their forward position against a stop f. -A pendent frame 9 g, rigidly secured to the shaft 1), serves to support a coin-duct h h, whose upper extremity registers with a coinslot K. The coin-duct is a simple trough, wide and deep enough to convey the predetermined coin, which rolls down it by gravity. At the lower end of this coin-duct h h a short Vertical extension thereof, provided with flanges 72 77. retains and guides the coin to In this position of an actuating-arm m, which extends toa position in front of said lodgment-recess from a shaft n, to which it is rigidly attached, and which is revolved in its terminal bearings by means of a handle 13 and crank-arm 0. The actuating-arm m is provided with a transverse pin 'r long enough to overlap the edges of the slot 5, while it is short enough to pass through the circular aperture at Z.
A permanent magnet 15 25 is secured a short distance from the upper end of the coin-duct h h, and an opening 00 in the bottom of the duct just beyond or below it is made large enough to permit an object the size of the predetermined coin to drop through. About over the middle of this spring 00 is pivoted a light metal pendent deflector w, and a cover y, secured by a screw and nut y, completes the side wall of the coin-duct.
A reciprocating carrier T is hooked or otherwise secured to the lower part of the frame g, and from its shape and size is adapted to be inserted into a package of the articles to be sold, and by its withdrawal to extract one or more specimens, as has been predetermined, therefrom by means of the recess G therein (the form shown is adapted to withdraw a cigar from its box B) and drop it in the trough M, down which it slides to emerge from the machine through the aperture P. The package B has its lower end removed,
opening of proper width for insertion and withdrawal of the carrier T and its charge.
The operation is as follows: A. coin is dropped through K, and, as this will be of copper, nickel, or silver, it will not be attracted by the magnet 15 t, and the proper predetermined coin will have weight enough to displace the pendant w and leap the opening 00 to the lower part of the coin-duct h, while an iron washer or disk will be attracted by the magnet 25 t and its momentum so far destroyed that it will drop down through the opening m. At the same time a pasteboard disk or one of any other light material will have insufficient inertia to push past the pendant w, and will by its means be dropped through w. The proper coin,having reached it, passes down it, and its edges pass behind If now the k 7L2, lodging it in the recess Z.
and an adjustable gate R is set to leave an handle p be depressed, the shaft n is revolved, and the end of the armmpresses against the face of the lodged coin, pushing it, together with the frame g g, backward in its swinging course from the axis of its shaft 12 and pushing the carrier T into the package B. Soon, however, in this rearward swinging movement of m and g g the end of the arm 'm slides off upwardlyfrom the lodged coin,which drops into the lower part of' the case 0, and the cross-pin r presses upon the sides of the slots 8 and continues the movement.
It is apparent that Without the coin to receive the impulse from 19 until the parts have swung far enough to cause 1' to engage as aforesaid the machine will not be operated, as the pendent arm on will pass freely through the slot .9.
erture 0c, opposed to said deflector and adja- 0 cent to said magnet.
