Specification of Letters Patent.
IPatented April 20, 1909.
Application filed April 27, 1905. Serial No. 257,686.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PAUL FUNKE, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Leipzig, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Coin-Freed Caretakers; and do hereby declarethe following to 'be a full, clear, and'exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which appertains to make and use the same.
My'invention relates to im )rovements in coin-controlled receptacles an the same has for its object more particularly to provide a simple, efficient and reliable apparatus designed for useas a so-called care-taker intended to receive garments, hats, umbrellas and other property temporarily left in public places, institutions, the cabins of ships and other structures, or places.
Further, said invention has for its object to provide a receptacle or closet having a c( incontrolled locking mechanism actuated essentially by meansof a key which cannot be withdrawn from the lock when the door or cover of the receptacle is open, and the'lock 'tion connection and arrangement of parts hereinafter more .fully described and then pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is a pers ective view showing a wardrobe or porta le closet rovided with one .form-of coin-controlled coking mechanism constructed according to and embodying my said invention; Fig. 2 is an enlarged detailed sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailed rear view showing a portion of the door of the wardrobe and the locking mechanism arranged thereon, said locking mechanism being shown in the unlocked or open position; Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the bolt of the locking mechanism projected and the member controlling said bolt about to assume its position to lock the projected. bolt. In said drawings 10 designates a wardrobe, which is made of usual general form and provided with a hinged door or front 11. the middle of said door is secured a plate 1? having a horizontal slit'13 therein and from the rear of said plate extends a downwardlyinclined chute 14.
, 15 denotes a receptacle secured upon the inner or rear side of the door 11 and provided with a horizontal partition 16 and a hinged door 17'. Upon. the rear side of the door 11 Near adjacent to its free edge and within there- .ine" u wardl from the sto) 22 having its u P y l outer face curved and its inner vertical face straight.
24 denotesa spring having its upper end secured to-the casing 19 and its lower end in e'ngagement'with the rear end of the bolt 21 which serves to hold said bolt to either of its adjusted positions. The under side of said bolt 21 is provided with a V shaped recess adapted to receive the bit of a key 26 whereby to shift said bolt 21within its casing.
27 denotes a segmental stop secured within the casing which serves to limit the movement of the key in either direction. Owing to the construction and arrangement of the stop 27 the key '26 when rotated will be caused to engage with either the horizontal or vertical edge of said segmental stop 27, and thus permit of said key being rotated only three-qu arters of a revolution.
28 denotes a bracket secured to the inner edge of the lockl casing 19 provided at its free at its top and bottom and provided at its bottom with an overbalanccd pivoted mem ber 34 having its shorter end beveled and adapted to support a coin 35 within said a biases receptacle portion afterthe same has been received from the chute 14. j
36 denotes a trip secured within the receptacle 15 adjacent to the over-balanced end of the pivoted member,,34, and adapted to en-" gage therewith when the inner. end of said oscillating lever 31 is caused to descend owing to the weight of a coin carried within the receptacle 33 thereon and release said coin when the receptacle 33 is in position over the delivery chute 37 secured in the horizontal partition 16 for guiding the coin into the compartment 38 of the receptacle 15.
The operation of the apparatus is as fol lows: In the construction shown and described herein, it will be understood, of course, that the door or cover 11 of the receptacle 10 istoremain normally open and ready to receive garments or other goods from a depositor. As soon as the articles have been placed in position within the receptacle 10 the door is closed and the key rotated in the direction of the arrow a, Fig. 3, thereby causing the bit of said key 26 to enter the \i-shaped recess on the end side of the bolt 21 and project said bolt and cause the same to engage in a suitable recess in the side wall of the receptacle 1().- As soon as the bolt has been fully projected and the key caused to assume the position indicated in dotted lines at Fig. 4, the same will then be in alinement with the keyhole in the door or cover whereupon said key may be withdrawn from the lock. As soon as the-bolt has been fully projected, the segmental projection 23' carried by the stop 22 on the side of said bolt 2 will be caused to engage the segmental projection 32 at the outer end of the oscillating lever 31 and cause the same to ride over the projection 23 and drop to the rear of said projection 32, thus bringing; the vertical edges of said segmental projections 23 and 32 into contact and permit the key being turned to retract the bolt 21.
In order to open the receptacle and obtain access to its contents the key 26 must first be inserted into the lock and the projection 32 at the outer end of the oscillating lever 31 freed of its engagement with the segmental projection 23 carried by the bolt 21. In order to effect this result a coin must first be introduced into the horizontal recess or slot 13- in the door which will thereupon pass down through the chute 14c and drop into the open upper end of the flat receptacle 33 secured to the inner end of the oscillating lever 31 and be retained therein while said end of the lever 31 is descending until the overbalanced end of the pivoted member 34 engages the trip 36 whereupon the coin .35 will be re leased and drop into the delixiery chute 37 and then pass into the receptacle portion 38 ot the receptacle 15. As the inner end of the lever 31 descends the outer end carrying the segmental projection 32 will be raised and I the vertical end of projection 32 freed of its engagement with the vertical portion of the segmental projection 23 and thus permit of the bolt 21 being. retracted as the key 26 is turned within the casing, whereupon the door 11 may be swung open upon its hinges.
When the articles which have been depos ited within the receptacle 10. have been removed therefrom, the door is left unlocked for the next depositor.
It will, of course, be understood that the lock may be actuated to project the bolt 21 without depositing a coin, and that a coin is only required when it is desired to unlock the receptacle to obtain a cess to the articles therein. 7
Having thus described my invention wha t cut, is:
1. A coin-controlled locking mechanism comprising a casing, a recess therein, a bolt slidably arranged in. said casing, a stop on said bolt extending through said recess, a projection on said stop, a lever pivotally supported adjacent to said casing, a projection at one end of said lever adapted to en-- gage with the projection carried by said bolt, a receptacle secured. to the other end of said lever adapted to receive a coin to over-balance said lever and free the projection at its forward end of its engagement with the projection carried by said. bolt and a key adapt ed to engage said bolt to shift the same after said projections have been released of their engagement, and means for limiting the rotary movement of said key, substantially as specified.
-2.' A coincontrolle .l locking mechanism comprising a casing, a recess therein, a bolt slidably arranged in said casing, a stop on said bolt extending through said recess, a
' projection on said step, a bracket secured to said casing, alever ')ivotally supported intermediate its ends upon said bracket, a projection at one end of said lever adapted to engage with the projection carried by said bolt, a receptacle secured to the other end of said lever adapted to receive a coin to over-balance said lever and free the projection at its forward end of its engagement with the projection carried by said bolt, means for releasing said 'coin from said receptacle, a key adapted to engage said bolt to shift the same after said projections have been released of their engagement and a stop for limiting the rotary movement of said key in both directions, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I allix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
