Definitions

• This invention relates to certain improvements in money-tills, more particularly to those fitted with cash-registering and other devices for preventing fraud or theft, the object of the invention being to prevent money placed or thrown in the receiving-drawer in the usual way immediately after its receipt from the customer from remaining in said drawer, so that whenever the drawer is opened or drawn out for the reception of more money the drawer will be found to be empty and not, as at present, expose all the money which may have previously been placed in said drawer.
• My invention is so designed that the action of either opening or closing the receivingdrawer,(hereinaftercalled thetilldrawer,) in combination with certain devices, all of which are particularly described farther on, causes any money which may have been put in the said drawer to be either pushed, drawn, dropped, or otherwise cleared into a lock-up drawer or receptacle situated either immediately beneath the till-drawer or at any distance therefrom as may be desired.
• FIG. 5 is a detached plan view of the end of one roller and the clutch device thereon, which -insures the rollers of Figs. 3 and 4 turning only in one and the same direction.
• Fig. 6 is a front elevation of the till, showing the tier ofA shelves for the reception of the changemoney.
• Fig. 7 is a plan of the till-'drawer containing two compartments.
• A denotes the casing of any ordinary cash-register

• C a spring employed to thrust the drawer out, which it does on the releasing of a catch or stop D, connected with allof the levers E, which are depressed by hand when it is desired to open the drawer to place money therein.
• the bottom of the till-drawer B is composed of a sheet of limp material a-say, for example, of leather or canvasone end b of which is secured to the bottoni of the front panel e of the drawer and the other end is secured to a roller d, mounted across underneath the drawer, which roller may be either influenced by a spring tending constantly to wind up the material a on the roller d in a similar manner to a roller-blind, or instead thereof a toothed pinion, such as d', is mounted fast on the roller and a toothed rack d2 fastened to the side of the drawer, the said rack and pinion being arranged so as to be always in engagement one with the other, so that opening and closing the drawer causes the rack to revolve the pinion and so roll up or unroll the limp drawer-bottom a accordingly.
• a toothed pinion such as d'
• fand g are sloping sills or boards for the money to fall on, serving as guides to direct the latter into the locked receptacle e beneath.
• Figs. 3 and 4 a modification wherein the single-sheet roll-up bottom a of Fig. 1 is replaced by a continuous sheet or IOO during the last closing movement of the till-I drawer.
• One suitable device for effecting this object is as shown in these figures and detached in Fig. 5.
• wheel h fast on the spindle of the rear roller, and one half i of a toothed clutch is fixed or formed on the outer side of said ratchet.
• the other half j ofk the clutch is fixed or formed on one side of a spur-pinion 7c, and these two latter are mounted loosely (slidably) upon the spindle of the roller d.
• the two parts of the said clutch are held normally in contact by a small compression-spring Z, (see Fig.
• Fig. 6 is a front elevation of the till and shows more particularly the tier of shelves for holding the change-money.
• halfcrowns might be placed on one shelf at the commencement, and for these may be substituted during the day any other coins the sum of which is equivalent to a half-crown; but should the sum substituted be more than half a crown it would indicate that the difference should have been put in the till and not on the shelf and would suggest that the attendant intended taking it at a favorable opportunity, While if the sum be less it would suggest that the attendant had already stolen the dierence.
• Fig. 7 is a plan of the till-drawer, showing that itmay consist of more than one compartment, if desirable.
• the locker @beneath the till-drawer may also consist of more than l one compartment, if desirable.
