Application filed February 26, 1921. Serial No. 448,1 93-.

To all whome't-may concern:

Be it: known that 1, DAVI G.. STORY, a citizen. ofthe United States, residing at Larchmont, in the county of l/Vestchester and State of New York, have made a certain'new and useful Improvement in Coin Cabinets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of the same.

My invention relates to cabinets for storing coins in rolls in such manner as to permit selection and extraction thereof by bank tellers and others whose business it is to handle large amounts of specie.

Another object of my invention is to build these cabinets in such manner so that when in use they will stand upright on a counter with the ends of the coin rolls in plain view of the teller.

Another object of my invention is to construct these cabinets in units so that several units may be built together, either along side or on top or both, of other units.

Another object of my invention is to arrange rolls of coins in rows, said rows being disposed one above another and slightly tilting the said rolls toward the back of the cabinet in which the same are contained and having one end of each of said rolls always in plain View.

Other features of convenience will be apparent upon reading this specification and the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cabinet containing five chambers arranged for coins of different denominations.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the upper portion of the cabinet.

Fig. 3 is a sectional View of one form of my cabinet, and

Fig. 4 is a cross-section taken along the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.

Referring now in detail to the drawings 1 represents the outside walls of my cabinet; 2, 2 2 2 and 2 represent different coinpartments of the same; 3 is a compensating space between two compartments, and the numeral at refers to compartments in Figs. 2, 3 and 4 of the drawings. At the rear of the compartments I have shown a wall having projections 5. At the top of the cabinet I provide an angular wall 6. The

cabinet maybe provided witha handle 7 as. shown. The numeral 9 represents a pro ectlon which is shown so; asflto extend; around the opening of the cabinet, but

which maybe placed only atthe bottom of the cabinet instead of extending around the front opening of the same. The purpose ofthis isto. give the cabinet a slight tilt when placed in upright position as it will be seen that the bottom of the closed end of the cabinet has no projection and the incline of the floor of the cabinet will therefore correspond to a line drawn from the top of the projection 9 to the closed end at the bottom of the cabinet.

In use, the cabinet may be stood in aconvenient place on a counter in the position shown in the drawings so that the ends of the coin rolls face the teller. The position of the cabinet when in use is as indicated in Figs. 1, 3 and A of the drawing with the inner or closed end resting upon the counter and the front end slightly raised by reason of the projection 9 giving the cabinet a slightly tilted position. The purpose of this is to hold the cabinet against accidental tipping forward upon the teller extracting rolls of coins from the same.

The different compartments shown in Fig. 1 are arranged for different denominations of coins, for instance, 2 represents pennies, 2 nickels, 2 dimes, 2 quarters, and 2 half dollars. The various compartments are constructed so as to hold a definite number of coins to the rows and a teller can calculate very readily upon counting the rows the amount of cash he has before him.

In Fig. 3, consisting of a sectional View of my cabinet, 8 represents rolls of coins stacked therein. If we assume that the box is filled with rolls of coins it will be seen that the top row can be readily taken out by reason of the inward slant of the angular wall 6 permitting the fingers of the teller to take hold of the rolls in this row and withdraw them from the cabinet. When the teller wishes to withdraw rolls from the lower rows he may insert his fingers between the projections 5 and behind the rolls and very readily slide or lift the rolls therefrom.

Of course, it is obvious that a cover of any suitable shape maybe used to close the cabinet and be locked thereon. The cabinets also make snug packages for storage in the vaults of the bank or other place where they are used. It is also obvious that many modifications may be made in the style, shape and number of compartments, and size thereof of the cabinet without departing from the spirit of my invention. 1 do not therefore wish to be confined in patent protection to the disclosure made but what I wish to cover by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.

Claims:

1. In a coin cabinet, a box having Separate chambers therein to accommodate rolls of coins of difierent denominations, and adapted to hold said rolls at an angle to the back of" the box, said chambers being provided with the respective tops bent so as to form surfaces partially inwardly inclined and partially in planes substantially parallel with the respective bottoms of said chambers.

2. In a coin cabinet, a box to accommodate rolls of coins, adapted to hold said rolls at an angle to the back of the box, said box also being provided with a top bent so as to form asurface partially inwardly inclined and partially in a plane substantially parallel with the bottom of said box.

3. In a coin cabinet, a box having separate chambers therein to accommodate rolls of coins of difierent denominations and adapted to hold said rolls at an angle to the back of the box, said back being provided with projections, against which projections the end of the rolls are adapted to rest, leaving spaces between said rolls and the projections immediately above them.
