Specification of Lettere Patent.

Patented Nov. 10, 1908` Application illc'd October 29, 1907. Serial No. 399,879.

It consists in the combination of parts, and

. in details `of construction, which will be mental' as well as more fully explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, iii which- Figure l is a front elevation of my machine. Fi 2 is a vertical section of the'top of the' mac ine. Fig. 3 is a vertical section at right angles to Fig. 2.

Fig. 7 is Aa section' on line X-X of Fig. 6. Fig. 8 ,is a view similar to Fig. 6. Fi 9 is a section on line V-V of Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is a vertical section of the lower art of the machine. Fig. 11 is a section on line Z--Z of Fig. 6. Fig. 12 is a side elevation of the upper art of the m-tank valve-operating mec anism. Fig. 13 is an end view of the coin operating mechanism shown in Fig. 1Q. Fig. 14 is a section on line U-U of Fig 2.

Ir. carrying out my invention, I provide a series of receptacles, each of which contains a differently colored liqueur, these receptacles being' carried in the upper part of a suitable frame-work or housing of ornamental structure; and beneath -the rece tacles is a space for the glass in which the rinkisto be prearec'l. Valve controlled pipes or passages ead from each receptacle, and the mechanism is so contrived that one valve after another may be opened to deliver a stated amount of the contents of the particular receptacle into the glass, each remaining in its separate layer, and all` being superposed from the bottom upward, to make an ornaalatable drink. y

A coin control ed mechanism starts the apparatus, when desired, an indicator shows how many glasses have been drawn, andthe whole may be driven by a motor or other suitable power installed for the purpose, the

movements of the apparatus being com-4 menced when the coin is inserted, and ceasingrwhen the glass has been filled.

he main structure A is here shown' as a rectangular device having an ornamental, hollow, metallic base, within which the coin controlled and part of the operating mech? anism is contained. The structure A has glass sides, and a hinged door upon one sirle through which, when opened, the lass may' be introduced and laced central y within. the case. Around the sides of this case A are supports B for bottles C, which are made ornamental, and each contains one of the colored liqueurs which are to be employed, and from these bottles theworking receptacles can be filled from time to time. These bottles are closed b stoppers D,- which Stoppers are 'suspende from the ends of levers 2 fulcrumed in the frame, the outer ends projecting so that the metal caps of the Stoppers may be pivoted thereto, and the inner ends extending inwardly over the top of the case to such a point that they may be engaged by slidable cams 3 which are carried upon a yoke or frame 4, and this yoke or frame is suitably guided and slidahle upon the u per part. of the c ase, as shown.

'IVhen the rame is moved into Va certain p0- sition, the elevated ortions of the cams 3 pass beneath the en s of the levers 2, and thus hold the Stoppers within the bottles, so that the latter cannot be removed while this condition continues.

The sliding frame has a latch 4 which normally. holds it in the lockingl position, and this latch is so controlled that until it is released, the parts remain in the locked position previously described. In the pres. ent case, I have shown the latch located upon the. side contiguous to the door, and when the door is closed the latch will be pro-- tected. When thedoor has been opened. the latching mechanism may be released to allow the yoke to slide so that the incline or cam surfaces will be disengaged from the levers 2, and will then allow the stoppers to be re, moved and the bottles to be taken out., as above described.

Springs 5 serve to impel the yoke in one direction, and it may be moved in the other direction by hand or other means. A

The receptacles 6 for the different ingredients to be used may be cylindrical or any 4 other suitable shape. In the present case andthe lower end of t have shown an outer containing case 7 in vthe resemblance of a cask. Eac of the re-V ceptacles 6 has its independent 8 leading toward a common center an own into a conical or funnel-shaped discharge device below the casing 7, and within it these pi `are here shown with their mouths bent out-I wardly.

The mouth of each pipe is closable by a valve, as at 9. These valves are carried upon levers 10, which levers are fulcrumed, as Shown at 11. The upper ends of these levers extend 'into a casing, as 12, and are normally closed by the 'pressure of springs 13 actin on the upper4 ends ofthese levers with suicient ressure to normally close the valves 9 at tlie lower ends.

4 are pins slidable radially in the revoluble casing 12 and having their inner ends contactin with the unber ends of the valve cal'lymg' evers 10. These pins are all radial y arranged, as well shown in the section, Fig. 14.- The inside of the casing 12 has at one point the cam or raised portion 1 2", and this portion is so disposed` with relation to the/pins 14, that it successively conch of the pins as they pass, and pin contacted with, inwardl ever arms 10, will force the upper ends inward, thus wlthdrawing thelower ends and the valves 9 successively. Thus, as the device" is revolved each of the valves being raised, a ortion of1 the contents .of -each container wil be allowed to ass throu h its pipeS and thevvalvefand op into Vt 15 e direct funnel The -tips of t e valves -from which the liqueur drops, are drawn to a point, .as shown at 16. s prevents an undue drip, and directs it in a ne droplinto the funnel 15; e funnel terminates 1n. a slmilarllyl1 ointed or slender tip 16, h wlicxt 1successive charg are lilo 45- vere,an ay assingoutt o ya ppzl'?, are delivereril into ug ea Motion is transmitted to'revolve the cam device 12* throu h bevel gears 18 one mounted upon the horizontally journaled shaft 19 "carried upon a3 suitable standard or suport inthe ,upper part of other bevelgears 20 communicate motion to shaft om a vertical shaft 21, -upon which Sm ofisaid latfnenld gearls isixed. a 2 ens ward' the side of the caselli" In the present stryuctisire it 1s shown asv a, .bott1e C, t ence thro h the base into t interior thereof, where lthas fixed to its lowerend, anotched disk 22. A pawl 23 is 5Inoun to turn about the center of the 22, and its point engages with the- .teeth upon theupenhery of the disk. This connected yarodorpitman24 tooth of a toothed wheel lill return movements of thesame.-

the glass located ,the apparatus, an the' .versely to the arm 38.

plassing down centrally through be d with a disk or wheel 25 mounted upon a shaft and turnable in unison with the gear. wheel 26, this gear being driven by a worm or screw 27 upon a shaft 28, to whlch ower is transmitted through a pulley 29, if t e device is to be power driven; or it may be o erated by hand, or other desired 'or suitaEle means.' The motion thus transmitted to the wheel transmits an intermittent the disk 22 throu h the connecting rod 24 on account of t e reciprocating motion which is thus transmitted to the pawl 23, causing it to e a' e successive notches in the rim of-the 1s 22. and thus push the disk forward. A spring catch or 'latch'BO falls into one of these notches at the termination of a stroke of the pawl, and thus prevents the disk being turned backwardly when the pawl is retracted. v

The periphery of the disk 25 has a singletooth or spur 25', and this spur engages one disk 32 journaled, as here shown, intermediately between the disks 22 and 25. A suitable'spring latch 31 engages with the teeth of the wheel or pinion 32 to retain it at any point where it is released from the spur 25. Contiguous to the opposite side of the disk 25 is a toothed wheel or pinion 33, which is also moved forward by the engagement of the spur 25* at each revolution of the disk 25, and this advances the 33 one tooth.. The wheel 33 carries upon its face a pin 33* which at each comp ete revolution engages the teeth of a disk 34, and this will actuate an indicator to register the number of glasses which have been by the operation of the apparatus. Suitable spring latches 36 and 37 engage with the gear wheels 33 and 34 to prevent rotary motion to The apparatus may be set in motion by a coin. controlled mechanism which allows an l be energized for the purpose,4 as follows: 8 is an-elastic arm having one end fixed, and the other end free to rise and fall. This end of the elastic arm has ahole 39 made throigh it, and an arm 40 having a correspon ing'holefis fulcrumedhteo the arm 38, as shown at 41, so as to be turnable trans This arm' 40 is normally retained in line with 38 by a spring, at'. The opening 39- is smaller than the coinciding opening 1n the end o the arm 40, so that t e coin of the properA aluewhich may be introduced thro Y eposited in the opening in he arm 40, butcannot pass through the ope j'ng 39, remai in that posltion until "it is discharged bythe d ression of the free end o'f the two arms. eg ed by means of asp having a suitable push-button upon its upper end, and the lower end of-the pin 44,

or disk 25 rotates it, and this ugh the; slot 43 will i striking upon the coin, will press the arm 38 downwardly. When the coin carrier has been thus depressed, the button and its connected presser rod 44 may be turned a partial revolution.

The presser rod 44 has a pin 46 projecting from one side, and this pin is movable in a slot in the sleeve 47, so that as long as the Bresser rod is held in its elevated position -lts spring, this pin 46 lies in a vertical s ot in t e s ceve 47, and the presser rod is thus prevented from' being turned. When described, until the pin 46 is below the bottom of the sleeve 47, the rod 44 may be turned. The pin 46 being turned with the rod or stem,44 will contact with a sprin arm 48 fixed to one side of the base, as s own. This arm has connected with it a 4rod 49, the inner end of Vwhich connects with a spring-pressed lever 50. This lever carries a lug 51' which normally engages with a notch in the disk 52, which disk is carried upon the same shaft with the toothed disk 32, previously described. As lon as the lug 51 remains engaged with the notc in 52, the

device is prevented from revolving.

53 are terminal posts having connections with a source of electrical energy.

these posts to an arm 55, which arm is located contiguous to the lug 51, but out of contact therewith, while the device is in the locked condition. lVhen by the turning of the rod or stem 44 the arm 50 has been moved and the lug 51 withdrawn from the notch in the disk 52, this withdrawal will also withdraw a 1u or spur 56'which pro'ects from the end of t e arm 50, and normal ly engages with a pin 57 upon the shaft of t e worm 27, and thus revents the mechanism from being turned). The withdrawal of this arm disengages the Alu from the pin, and at the same time com etes an electrical circuit and ground throu the oint 55, previously described; and t is wil set the motor in motion throughsuitable or well known connections. As soon as the notch inthe disk 52 has moved a short distance, the lug 51 will remain resting upon the rim of the disk 52, as. shown in Fig. 8, and the circuit throu h the lug and the art will remain close until the full revo ution of the disk and the filling of the glass have been completed. f

58 is another arin`extending transversely lfrom the lever arm 50 and havin a head 59,

and this is at the saine time li ed from a notch in the drum or barrel 60, which is mounted upon the same shaft with the disk 25, and this serves to retain the lever '50' and the locking parts carried thereby, out of operation until the full revolution has been completed; then the lug 51 will be supported upon the disk 52 and willso remain until this disk has completed one revolution, and

the rod has been de ressed, as previously 54 is a conductor extending from one ofthe drum 60 has made fourteen revolutions. The lug 51 then dro s into the notch in the disk 52, and 59 at t e same time falls into the notch in the drum 60, thus breaking the electrical circuit and causing the apparatus to stop.

The operation of filling a glass consists iu the first placing of a red gum solution in the bottom of the glass, then superposing upon it the various colored liquids to produce the desired result. I have here shown Iseven receptacles for these liquids, with means for discharging each one, as previously described. The gum solution 1s contained in an independent receptacle 61 at the top of the casing, and this has a valve 62 controlled by a spring-pressed rod or carrier 63 having a push-button 64 at the outer end. The discharge opening from the tank 61 is contiguous to the discharge opening from the containers 6, and this being first opened delivers a portion of the gum into the glass. This opening may be eiected, as here shown, by means of a fulcrumed lever 65, one end of which engages the valve actuating rod 63, andthe other is connected with 'a rod 466 which extends downwardly parallel with the gear shaft 21. At the lower end, this rod connects with the end of a lever 67, the opposite end of which is fixed to a turnable shaft 68 fulcrumed within the base of the ap aratus. Connected with this shaft is a rod 69,the outer end of which connects with the outer movable end of the depression ElatehBS, so that when this plate is depressed t e scyribed, it will first act to pull down upon the rod 66, and through the' reviously described mechanism will move t e valve 62 to discharge a portion ofthe gum from the reser` voir 61 into the glass. U on the release and return of the arts to their normal position, this valve is c osed, and the apparatus having beeny then set in motion by the completion of the electrical circuit, the remaining portions of liquid from the dilerent containers will be successively placed in the lass until the lillin is completed, when, the

isk 52 having ma e a complete revolution, the stop lug 51 will fall into its notch in the disk 52, and the head -59 correspondingly presser rod 44, as' previously de- Y dropping'into its notch, the bar 50 will be so as to lock the appamoved b its s rin y P fcir'cuit being opened at A ent isf- 1.
