AUTOMATIC SUPPLY-'MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 653,091, dated July 3, 1900. Application filed March 12, 1900. Serial No. 8,355- (No model.)

' To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, WILLY JAEGER, mechanician, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, an d a resident of Tempelhofer Ufer 23, Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia and Empire of Germany, have invented an Improvement in Automatic Supply-Machines, of which the following is a specification." I

The object of the present invention is an improvement in automatic supply-machines in which by the insertion of a coin a clockwork is started which causes the supply of some article.

The improvement consists therein that all the levers of the starting mechanism are connected together rigidly and that one of the levers is provided with the cup into which the coin is inserted.

In the annexed drawings this improvement the mechanism for supplying the articles, however, being omittec Figure 1 is a front view of the clockwork with the new improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of Fig. 2 along the line A l5. Fig. at is a front view of part of the operating device, while Fig. 5 shows the operating device in the position in which the inserted coin is released.

The clockwork consists of a frame formed by supports and two frame- plates 1 and 2, in which the main wheel 3, which is driven bya weight or spring device, has bearing. This main wheel drives a train of wheels 4:, 5, and 6, the latter of which sets the flying pinion 7 in motion. On the axle of the flying pinion is a graduated disk 8, which is stopped and released by the operating device. The motion of the wheels is indicated in Fig. 3 by means of arrows. On the foremost end of the axle 9 of the wheel 4 is a graduated disk 10, which forms part of the operating device.

On the left of the frame a revolving shaft 11 has bearing. To facilitate its working, it runs on the points of two screws 12 and 13, the latter of which is inserted in a block 14, fixed to the foremost frame-plate. The shaft 11 is provided with a rod 15 and two hooks 1G and 17. V The hook 16 acts upon the graduated disk'8 of the fly 7, while the hook 17 is under the influence of the graduated disk 10.

is represented from various points of view,

The rod 15, which may be adjustable upon the shaft, is provided on the right with an adjustable balance-Weight 18, While the left end of same is provided with a horizontal plate 19 and the cup 20, into which the coin is to be The cup 20 is attached to the plate 19 by means of the hinge 21 in such a manner that the said cup has a permanent tendency to tilt over to the left, while the hinge supports it solely at its right bottom corner. To further increase this tendency, the cup may be weighted on the left side. In the left side of the cup is an open slit 22. The upper edge of this slit is formed by a cross-piece 23. The slit 22 is made so long that when the coin 24 is introduced into the cup it is held back by the cross-piece 23, as indicated by the dotted outline of the coin in Fig. 3.

The front plate 2 of the frame is further provided with an arm 25, slanting to the left, while on the front of the cup 20 there is a pin 26. The balance-weight 18 on the rod 15 is adjusted in such a manner that it destroys the equilibrium, and the rod, with the cup 20 and the hook, assumes the resting position represented in Fig. 1. It then the coin 2a is illtroduced into the cup 20 through a tube provided in the apparatus, the said coin will cause the rod 15 to oscillate tothe left, while the left end of the rod is overbalanced by the coin. The oscillating movement of the rod to the left only continues until the arm 25 comes into contact with the pin 26. This movement is, however, sufficient to release the graduated disk 8 of the flying pinion by means of the hook 16. The clockwork starts, and very soon the graduated disk 10 acts upon the hook 17, and causes thereby the shaft 11 to revolve farther to the left--that is, the rod 15 is forced to oscillate farther to the left. As, however, the pin 26 abuts against the arm 25, the slot 20 is prevented from following the plate 19 unimpeded, and therefore swings so far to the right that the coin 24., as shown in Fig. 5, is released by the cross-piece 23 and rolls out into a receptacle provided underneath. Then the right end of the rod 15 overbalances again, and after the graduated disk 10 has revolved one hundred and eighty degrees the hook 17 engagesa step in the disk 10. This latter movement is fol- -the left and assumes the position shown in Fig. 1. In order to prevent the cup from swinging too far to the right, the arm 25 may be provided with a pin 27, against which the pin 26 of the cup would abut. Of course the graduated disk need not necessarily be of the shape represented in Fig; 1. The curve may be of any shape, and it is suflicient that the disk acts upon the rod 15.

Having thus described my'invention, the

following is what Iclaim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

The improvement in automatic supply-ma chines consisting of the hook 16 which holds the flying pinion 7 of the clockwork, of a hook 17 which israised by a graduated disk 10 in the clockwork and of a lever with a balance-weight 18, these three parts being connected together rigidly and further of a plate 19 arranged on the said lever 15 upon which the cup 20 intended for the coin 24 is arranged,. and of this cup which is providedv with a pin 26 which abuts against an arm fixed to the frame.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
