Abstract
Abstract A device for the hand packaging of coins into paper covered cylinders, consisting of a sliding base surface on which the paper coin wrapper is placed, with transverse rods spaced to hold the proper quantity of coins, on edge, on the coin wrapper, and end stops to limit the proper quantity of coins. Sliding of the base rotates the coins and the coin wrapper about the coins, forming a neat cylindrical package. The end stops of the device are latched out of place to permit folding and tucking of the wrapper ends, and the removal of the coin package.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
239 words
A device for the hand packaging of coins into a paper covered cylinder of a uniform quantity of coins, said device including a horizontal base on which a sliding member rests loosely, at least one pair of transverse rods fastened parallel to each other and at right angles to the direction of motion of the sliding member, said transverse rods being spaced from each other such that a wrapped package of coins lies on the sliding member and is tangent to each of the transverse rods, together with an end stop fastened to a vertical wall fastened to the base, and another end stop fastened to a movable rail such that a cylinder of coins of the proper quantity and denomination rest in between said end stops when the movable rail is located at the wrapping position, permitting a paper coin wrapper to be placed on said sliding member, and the proper quantity of coins to be placed edgewise on said paper coin wrapper between the end stops and between the pair of transverse rods, so that sliding motion of the slider resulting in rotating the coins and winding the paper wrapper cylindrically about said coins, together with means to release the movable rail from the wrapping position so that it may be moved away from the coins, together with the end stop fastened to said movable rail, allowing the wrapped package to be freely lifted from the device.
Claim 2
Independent Claim

A device for the hand packaging of coins into a paper covered cylinder of a uniform quantity of coins, said device including a horizontal base on which a sliding member rests loosely, at least one pair of transverse rods fastened parallel to each other and at right angles to the direction of motion of the sliding member, said transverse rods being spaced from each other such that a wrapped package of coins lies on the sliding member and is tangent to each of the transverse rods, together with an end stop fastened to a vertical wall fastened to the base, and another end stop fastened to a movable rail such that a cylinder of coins of the proper quantity and denomination rest in between said end stops when the movable rail is located at the wrapping position, permitting a paper coin wrapper to be placed on said sliding member, and the proper quantity of coins to be placed edgewise on said paper coin wrapper between the end stops and between the pair of transverse rods, so that sliding motion of the slider resulting in rotating the coins and winding the paper wrapper cylindrically about said coins, together with means to release the movable rail from the wrapping position so that it may be moved away from the coins, together with the end stop fastened to said movable rail, allowing the wrapped package to be freely lifted from the device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
81 words
The combination recited in claim 1 in which several parallel transverse rods are located adjacent to each other so as to provide for the wrapping of coins of various diameters and quantities, with each pair of transverse rods located from each other so as to hold a specific denomination of coins, and with the end stopS between said transverse rods set to limit a specific quantity of coins for the given denomination when the movable bar is in the wrapping position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
The combination recited in claim 2 in which a vertical member rests against the movable rail in the wrapping position and holds said movable rail from movement away from the coin wrapping area, together with provisions for depressing said vertical member so as to free the movable rail from engagement with the vertical member, said provisions including an external button which is pressed to release the movable rail.
