Definitions

  • This invention relates particularly to a fraud-preventing device for use in connection with coin-controlled machines.
  • the primary object is toprovide a simple device which will prevent the fraudulent obtaining of checks, or coupons, from a coincontrolled machine.
  • the invention is usefully employed, for example, in connection with a coin-controlled machine of the eneral construction illustrated in the pen ing application of Fred L. Mills, Serial No. 738,831, namelyd Sep- -tember 20, 1924.
  • the Present-improvement is illustrated in its pre erred embodiment in the accompanyin drawings, in Whichi 1 represents a broken vertical sectiona view of 'a coin-controlled machine of 'i thecharacter mentioned, equip with the i improved device; Fig. 2, a bro en plan sectional view taken approximately as indi? cated at line 2 of Fig. I; and Fig. 3, a simi- 'lar section taken approximately as indi-v cated at line 3 lof Fig. 1.

  • Fig. 2 a bro en plan sectional view taken approximately as indi? cated at line 2 of Fig. I
  • an auxiliar slide is interposed between the stack -of slides referred to and the passage the discharge chute.
  • This auxi lary slide is normally with the discharge passage which extends through the bottom ⁇ on w ich the 'stack of slides is mounted. It is secon# leading to i trolled that if an effort is made to cheat the machine by jarring or jiggling the machine, the" auxiliary slide will operate as a shutter to close the discharge passage. Such jiggling of the machine may occur, forexample, when an eort is being made to employ fa bogus coin', or.- to employ a penny,

  • the bottom D is provided with a discharge passage 1 --whic communicates with the u'p r end of'a discharge chute 2 which exten s beneath the ejecting device C to a tray 3 which is open at thefrontof the machine.
  • the chute 2 is equipped with a shutter 2 which opens at the lproper time to permit the contents of the chute-2 to pass to the tray 3.
  • the shutter 2 constitutes no part of the present invention.
  • the pay-out slides D are provided with vertical perforations 4 which normally register with the lovverA end of the coupon magazine 5.
  • the lowermost one of the Aslides D is equipped'with an u turned arm actuated" in a well-known manner inthe operation of the machine.
  • the pay-out slides have connected 'therewith'a series of coil sprin s 10 which tend to move the slides rearwar ly so as to bring the passages, orA perforatlons, m the sllde into registration with the discharge passage 1.
  • the pay-out slides are latched in their forward position by locking levers 11 which are mounted on a vertical pivot 12.
  • the latching levers 11 normally are held in the latching position by springs 11.
  • These locking levers, or certain of them, may be thrown away from the latchin position by means of throw-out levers 13 w ich are controlled in a known manner.
  • the pay-out slides are actuated from the bottom Slide upward by means of the springs 10, when the corresponding locking levers 11 are released from engagement with the slides.
  • auxiliary slide 14 interposed between the lowermost pay-out slide and the bottom D is an auxiliary slide 14 which is provided with a perforation 14 which registers normally with the perforation 1.
  • a spring 14 (Fig. 3) tends to draw the auxiliary slide 14 rearwardly.
  • the spring' 15" is a delicate one; and, in the event that the machine should be jarred, or jiggled, in an effort to introduce a penny, :tor example, past the guard devices with which the coin-chute of the machine is equipped, where the ma' chine requires a coin of lar er denomination, the spring 15b will permit the latch 15 to move as a result of the jarring action and release the auxiliary slide 14. The spring 14:b will then draw the slide 11i rearwardly and bring a solid portion of the slide into position to obstruct the upper end of the passage 1.
  • a supplemental latching device 16 for the pay-out slides this device being mounted on a lever 16B.
  • This device operates in a well understood manner, and constitutes no portion of the present invention.
  • Other portions of the coin-controlled mechanism are shown fragmentarily. They are well known, and need not be explained for the purposes of the present invention.
  • one or more of the pay-out slides may be released and drawn .rearwardly and will serve to transferuchecks, or coupons to the upper end of the discharge passage 1.
  • the slide 14 is in such position that the passage 14 registers with the passage 1. If the machine he jarred, or violently tilted, in an effort to cause an improper ⁇ coin to pass the guard devices (not arcanes shown) with which the machine ordinarily is equlpped, the result will be to cause the delicate spring 15b to permit the auxiliary latching lever 15 to release the auxiliary slide 14, whereupon the latter will be drawn rearwardly and will then serve as a shutter which closes the passage 1. Consequently, coupons will not be dischar ed into the chute 2 when the pay-out sli es are actuated.
