  • PATENTEUSEP Han 3,503 325 sum 1 OF 2 INVENTOR MARINUS BEERENS 0 a/MM ATTORNEYS PURSE COMPRISING A SORTING MEMBER
  • This invention relates to a self-sorting purse or moneybag.
  • a prior art purse has employed a magnetic plate for sorting coins attracted by magnetic force (in general, nickel coins) from coins not attracted by magnetic force (silver, bronze, zinc, and aluminum coins, etc.), the sorting being accomplished by shaking the closed purse.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a purse that makes further separation, so that the contents of the purse can be better supervised and so that small coins can be easily taken out ofthe purse.
  • An additional object is to provide a cheaper construction where separation between only two kinds of coins is desired.
  • the invention provides at least one dividing partition having at least one opening to pass coins smaller than a given size to
  • the purse shown in FIG. I has a sorting portion 1, divided into two compartments 2 and 3 by means of a dividing partition 5.
  • This partition has openings 9', through which small coins 12 can pass, but large coins 11 cannot pass through.
  • These openings 9 are not quite at the bottom of the sorting compartment 3, but are arranged slightly above the lower edge, so that they are separated by a strip 10 from the bottom of the compartment 3.
  • the dividing partition 5 is fastened along the lower edge of the openings 9 (above the strip 10) to the wall of the sorting portion 1 on the side of the compartment 2 intended for insertion of the coins to be sorted out.
  • the compartment 2 is therefore less deep than the compartment 3.
  • a single dividing partition preferably divides the sorting portion into two compartments: one, for collecting the coins to be sorted out, extends only as far as the lower edges of the openings through the partition; whereas, the adjacent compartment extends well below the openings, so that all coins that can pass through the openings are readily passed through.
  • a plate of magnetic material is incorporated in the dividing partition above the openings, so that magnetic coins are made directly accessible when the purse is opened, whereas nonmagnetic coins lie down lower in that compartment.
  • the invention when using a' magnetic plate disposes it so that the coins in the compartment intended for sorting are not attracted significantly. This prevents the magnetic coins from being attracted by the magnetic plate before they have been sorted to size.
  • the sorting partition may be formed by a flap that is pivotally connected below with the inner side of the purse or moneybag, but which otherwise has free side and upper edges; preferably this partition is provided with resilient material.
  • this partition is provided with resilient material.
  • FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of an opened purse, embodying the principles of the invention; in this purse coins can be separated into three kinds.
  • FIG. 2 is a view in perspective ofa modified purse embodying the principles of the invention and enabling a separation of coins into five kinds.
  • One of the sidewalls of the sorting portion is indicated only by broken lines, for the sake ofclarity.
  • FIG. 3 is a similar view of a modified form of purse of the invention, having a sorting member which is loose on the side.
  • FIG. 4 shows another modified form of purse or moneybag of the invention, having three sorting members which are loose on the sides.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further modified form of purse having two sorting members loose on their sides with flexible cord attached to them.
  • the partition 5 may furthermore be provided with a magnetic plate 22, preferably sewn inside a lining of the partition 5.
  • An appropriate material is ferroxdur," which is permanently magnetic and can be made in the form of thin plates. This material also has the advantage that it can be made in a form in which only one side is magnetized. It is preferred to arrange a plate 22 of this last-mentioned kind in the dividing partition 5, with the magnetic side facing the compartment 3 and remote from the compartment 2.
  • a plate 22 may be used which has the same magnetic force on either side, but in this case the side facing the compartment 2 is preferably then screened by a layer of nonmagnetic material, for example thick, textile material.
  • a layer of nonmagnetic material for example thick, textile material.
  • the purse shown in FIG. 1 thus enables the sorting of coins into three kinds, i.e., coins Ill too large to pass through the openings 9, coins l2 capable of passing through the openings 9 but not being magnetically attracted by the plate 6, and coins I3 capable of passing through the openings 9 and being attracted by the magnetic plate 22.
  • the compartment 3 In order to provide sufficient space, it is advantageous for the compartment 3 to have several folds on each side, for ex ample, four folds 25, 26, 27, and 28, in contrast to conventional purses, which usually have only one fold on the side of each compartment.
  • This preferred structure ensures that, during sorting, the coins are not hindered by inwardly projecting parts of the folds and prevented from readily reaching the part of the partition 5 provided with the magnetic plate 22.
  • the purse shown in FIG. I is furthermore provided with a conventional snap lock 23, 24, but as a matter of course any desired other lock may be used, for example, a sliding clasp fastener. It is furthermore advantageous to provide the purse with a compartment for banknotes, postage stamps and the like. There may even be provided a key compartment.
  • the sorting portion 111 has four compartments 12, l3, l4, and 15.
  • the partitions are formed by walls l6, l7. and 18. The lower edges of each of the partitions are fixed invariably to the same wall 29, but at different heights.
  • the partition I6 is at the highest level and forms with the sidewall the compartment 12 intended for receiving the coins and for retaining the largest coins.
  • the partitions l6, l7, and 18 have holes I9, 20, 2I, respectively, of gradually smaller size in that order. It is thus ensured that in sorting, each further compartment 13, I4, and I5 receives coins of decreasing diameters.
  • the compartment 12 retains the largest coins.
  • the compartment I5 collects the smalilest coins.
  • the compartments l3 and I4 collect two intermediate sizes.
  • the partitions can be spaced apart by a greater distance.
  • a separation between magnetic and nonmagnetic coins can be achieved by providing a magnetic plate 22 in the partition 18, similar to the magnetic plate in the partition of FIG. I.
  • the smallest coins received in the compartment can thus be divided into magnetic coins and nonmagnetic coins.
  • the purse or moneybag shown in FIG. 2 thus sorts coins into five different kinds. Obviously, the number of sorting possibilities may thus be extended further.
  • the purse shown in FIG. 2 is also provided with a snap lock, but obviously any other appropriate lock may be used.
  • a compartment for banknotes and a compartment for stamps, keys, and the like, may also be provided in this embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment similar to that of FIG. 1.
  • the partition 5 is, however, not fastened at the edges to the foldable sidewalls of the compartment, but it is provided with loose sides 4 and 6 and a top edge 7.
  • the partition 5, which is preferably made of resilient material, is capable of yielding to the quantity of coins contained therein, both prior to and after sorting.
  • the purse shown in FIG. 3 is employed as follows: the money to be sorted is inserted into the compartment 2, after which the purse is closed and shaken. After shaking, the coins are sorted to size and to magnetic attractability of the coins as is shown schematically in FIG. 3. It is then advantageous for the flap 5 to be loose on the sides so that it can yield during the sorting operation. Prior to sorting more coins are located in the compartment 2 than after sorting, so that prior to sorting more space may be needed on that side of the partition 5, so that the flap 5 will yield more to the left than after sorting. During sorting, the flap 5 can therefore move to the right to match the required space.
  • the loose flap 5 is advantageously provided with a plate of flexible material, which retains its initial form, for example a plate of mica or a comparatively rigid synthetic resin. The flapis thus readily adaptable.
  • the magnetic plate 22 may be quite thin and able to flex.
  • flaps l6, l7, and 18 may be provided, which are fastened at different heights to one end wall of the purse,'as in FIG. 2.
  • the upper flap 16 again has the largest openings 19 for retaining the largest coins
  • the next flap 17 has smaller openings 20 for retaining smaller coins
  • the flap 18 has still smaller openings 21 for retaining still smaller coins.
  • the remaining smallest coins can be sorted in accordance with their magnetic properties by providing a magnetic plate 22 in the last flap 18. It will be obvious that this system is particularly advantageous in moneybags, in which a satisfactory survey of the contents is desirable.
  • FIG. 5 A further embodiment is shown in FIG. 5, which comprises two sorting flaps 31 and 32, which are loose at the sides, like the preceding flaps.
  • the flap 32 is pivoted herein to the flap 31 at a given distance above the pivotal line of the latter.
  • the compartment 36 between the sorting flaps 31 and 32 serves as the initial sorting compartment, where the flap 32 can retain the largest coins, and having the larger openings 33 on its lower edge, whereas the other flap 31 has smaller openings 34 for retaining medium sized coins in the compartment 37, whereas the smallest coins are passed through the openings 34 into the compartment 38 for the smallest coins.
  • a layer 22 of magnetic material may be provided in one (or in both) flaps for obtaining a subdivision into magnetically attractable or nonattractable coins. Also this system is particularly appropriate in moneybags for sorting larger quantities of coins.
  • the sides thereof may be fastened as by means of a flexible cord 35, to one of the parts of the purse so that the flaps can attain only a defined extreme position.
  • the flap may also be provided with openings of different sizes so that the money to be sorted can be directly guided to different compartments.
  • a coin-sorting purse or moneybag comprising at least one flat sheetlike dividing partition free from folds separating the purse interior into first and second compartments. at least one opening being made in said sheetlike dividing partition for passing smaller coins originally placed in the first said compartment to the second said compartment, while retaining the larger coins also placed in the first said compartment.
