8541. Wilcox, T., [trading as Wilcox & Son, M.]. April 15. Purses and portemonnaies.-The spring-held lid of a circular sovereign case is shaped like a segment of a circle, and, when it is opened slightly, the uppermost coin is in position for shaking out. The case A, Fig. 2, is shown in section in Fig. 4. The lid D carries a piece E bearing against the spring F, by which it is kept closed. The bottom-plate B is pressed upwards by the spring C and has a projection, sliding in the groove a', which cannot rise above the top of the box a3, the arrangement being the same as that described in Specification No. 4131, A.D. 1903. The spring F may be replaced by a spring upon the hinge d1, attached to the fixed part of the cover a'. Cases may be made for coins of two sizes, having the lids on opposite sides.
