SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 380,513, dated April 3, 1888.

Application filed December Sr, 1887. Serial No. 256.7l3. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN H. PA'rrERsoN and JOHN F. HEADY,,both citizens of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Cash Registers and Indicators, of which the following is a full,`clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming partof this specification.

Our inventi'on has for its object an improvement in the construction of this class of machines, and its novelty will be herein set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, Sheet 1, is a front elevation of a register and indicator embodying our invention. Fig. 2, Sheet 2, is a sectional side elevation taken through the dotted line x x of Fig. 1. Fig. 3, Sheet 3, is a front elevation of the registering mechanism removed from the case. Fig. 4, Sheet 3, is a Sectional front elevation of the registering mechanism through the dotted line 3/ y of Fig. 5. Fig. 5, Sheet 4., is a plan view of the registering mechanism. Fig. 6, Sheet 4, is an enlarged section through the aXes of the registering-shaft and sleeve with connected parts. Fig. 7, Sheet 4, is a Sectional front ele- Vation through the dotted line z z of Fig. 6..

The same letters of reference are used to indicate identical parts in all the figures.

We provide any suitable case, A, having in front a dial, B, and in its lower part a drawercompartment for the money-till O. The dial has upon its face two sets of numbers-an Outer one, beginning with 0 at the top and extending to the right around the dial in multiples of five up to 95, and representing cents, and an inner one,'extending from the top to the left, representing dollars-in this instance tl, BZ, $3, $4, and $5-as shown in Fig. 1.

In a suitable frame-work within the case, just behind the dial-in this instance consisting of two upright plates, D, some distance from. each other and parallel to the dial-is the registering mechanism.

`Journaled in the rear plate D, Figs. 5 and 6,..is a shaft, E, which extends forward through a Sleeve, F, journaled in the front. plate D, said shaft projecting through the front of the sleeve and both said shaft and sleeve projecting through an opening in the front of the dial. Secured to or integral with the shaft E, near the rear plate D, is a double ratchet, a b, the outer part, a, of which is of greater diameter than theinner part, b, and' between said double ratchet and the rear plate D is a pinion, G, loose upon the shaftE and of adiameter equal to or greater than the ratchet a. The inner end of the sleeve F abuts against the ratchet 6o a, and said sleeve has secured to or integral with it a ratchet, H, just in front of the front plate D.

Loose upon the sleeve F, just in front of the ratchet H, is a second combined ratchet and registering wheel, I, of a less diameter than the ratchet H. The face of the wheel I is numbered to correspond with the outer numbers upon the dial B, as seen in Fig. 3, though said numbers are arranged in an opposite direction to those on the dial. The face of this wheel I is close to and just behind the dial B. The

pinion G and ratchet b, .as seen in Fig. 7, are connected by a spring-dog, c, which, pivoted to the side of the pinion, engages with the ratchet. The ratchet H and wheel I are similarly connected, as seen in Fig. 3, by a springdog, d, pivoted to the side of the ratchet H and engaging with the teeth of the wheel I. The shaft E and sleeve F are connected by a 8o coiled spring, J, whose -inner end is secured to the sleeve F and whose outer end is secured to a stud, e, projectingl from the side of the ratchet a, as seen in Figs. and 6.

`An operating index-hand, K, is secured in front of the dial B to the sleeve F and extends to the outer row of numbers, while a shorter operating index-hand, L, 'is secured to the shaft E and extends out to the inner row of numbers, as seen in Fig. 1. The spring J is par- 9o tially wound up and its tenson is supported on the one side bya stop, f, on the dial B, againstwhich thehandKis arrestedfrom movement to the left, and on the other side by a pin, g, projecting from the ratchet a, and which 9 5 comes in contact with one of the tie-rods M uniting the plates D when the hand L points to 0,77 and which prevents the rotation of the hand to the right. Each of the hands K L is provided with a projecting operating pin or 10o handle, h. It results from this construction that upon turning the handK to the right the spring J is wound up from the inside, while upon turning the hand L to the left the spring is wound up from the outside.

Insteadof having two stops-one, f, for the hand K and one, g, for the ratchet a and hand L-the single stop f might be interposed between thehands Kand Lon the face of the dial, to act as a stop for both of them, the hand K bearing against its right side and the hand L to against its left side, or any other suitable stop or stops may be used for the hands.

Journaled in the platcs D are six shafts, N' N N' and O' O O', in two banks of three each, the O`s being arranged directly over the t5 Nis of similar powers. Each of these shafts has upon its forward end a registcring-disk just behind the dial B and in line with the wheel I, and is provided on its face with numbers in multiples of one from 0 to 9. Just be- 2o hind the disk P' of the shaft N' and upon said shaft is a pinion, i, With ten teeth,with one of which teeth a pin, j, projecting from the wheel I, engages at every complete revolution of said wheel I to turn the disk P' one-tenth of a revolution. A second pinion, k, upon the shaft N' is provided With a projecting pin or lug, Z, which at each complete revolution of the disk P' engages with a tooth of a similar pinion, m, upon the shaftN to turn the disk P one num- 3o ber. This pinion is likewise provided with a pi n orstud,n,which at each complete revolution of the disk P engages with a pinion, o, upon the shaft N' to turn the disk PW one number. The shafts O', O, and O' are likewise provided with pinions p q r, respectively, the first having` its pin s and the second its pin t, as in the lower bank, and for the same purpose. The pinion p meshes constantly with the pinion G upon the shaft E, as seen in Fig. 4, and 4o suitable Springs or brake-dogs,u,are employed for all of the pinions of the registering-disks. It will thus be seen that there are two banks of registering wheels or disks, the upper one of which is operated by thehand L and shaft E through the medium of the ratchet b, dog o,

v and pinion G, while the lower one is operated by the hand K and Sleeve F through the medium of the ratchet H, dog d, and wheel I, as will be readily understood.

There are a series of reading-openings, v, through the dial B, as seen in Fig. 1, one for each of the registering-disks and the wheel I, and so arranged as to expose but one number on each disk at atime. Aslide,R (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1,) is arranged to be slipped through the side of the case behind the dial to cover all of the registering-disks and to be looked, except when the proprietor wishes to read off the amounts registered, at which time 6o it may be unlocked and removed.

S, Fig. 4, is a spring looking-dog engaging with the ratchet a, and T is a similar dog engaging With the ratchet H.

Upon the same pivot, w, which secures the dogT to the front plate D is a spring tripping-arm, U, to whose Outer end is pivoted a tripping-dog, a', engaging with the beveled end of the pivoted bell-crank V, to the upper end of which is secured a gong-hammer, WV, which, upon the operation of the lever U, is caused by the retraction of a spring, b', engaging with the bell-Crank, to strike a goug, X, secured to the plate D, as shown.

If desired, the dog T and tripping arm U may be made integral.

Y is a spring looking-dog for the wheel I, pivoted, as at c', to a stud projecting from the plate D.

A', Fig. 2, is a releasingkey pivoted between lugs d' within the case, and having its forward end projecting through an opening in the case and provided with an operating-button. Its rear end has pivoted to it the usual or any suitable drawer-bolt, C', for holding` the drawer C looked, except when the key A' is depressed, whereupon the drawer is unlocked and is partially projccted from its compartment by the usual spring, D'.

E' is the usual resetting spring for the key A'. A link, F', pivoted to the key A', extends up within the case between the dogs S and T, to which and to the tripping-arm U it is connected by the cross-bar e', whose ends are secured in apertnres or slots in the dog S and the arm U, and which engages with the recessed side of the dog T, as seen in dotted lines in Fig. 3.

Supposing,now,that all of the disks and the wheel I are set to expose 0 through their respective reading-openings,the operation of the machine is as follows: Suppose the first sale made is thirty cents. The clerk receiving the money would first press down the key A', thereby sounding the gong and releasing the money-drawer. He would then turn the hand K to the number 30 on the dial B, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1. After making change, ifnecessary, and depositiug the money in the (lrawer, he would close the drawer, which would automatically become looked. The hand K would remain at 80, and the number 30 would appear through the reading'` opening upon the wheel I. Upon making the next sale he would first depress the key A'to release the drawer and sound the gong, and by that act would retract the looking-dogs S and T from engagement with their ratchets, whereupon the spring J would at once reset the hand K to O.

It will be readily understood from the description of the parts that the retraction of the hand Kwould not rctract the registeringwheel I, for the latter would be held by ils dog Y, and the dog cl would merely slp back with its ratchet H. If this second sale should have been of the amount of seventy cents, the wheel I would then have made one complete revolution and 0 would appear through its reading-opening, while its pin j would have engaged With a tooth of the pinion riand turned the disk P' one notch to expose the number l through its reading-opening, and thus indicating a total rcgstry of one dollar, and so on. The same operation is true of the hand L, upon IOO I'IO

turning which'to the left, for instance, until it points to EBM the pinion G, by its engagement with the pinion p, will turn the latter four notohes to cause the number 4 on the disk Q' to be exposed through its reading-opening. The hand L would continueto point to $4 until the key A' was again depressed preparatory to another operation of the machine, whereupon said hand and the double ratchet a b would spring back to their normal position of rest. The teeth of the ratchet b, however, would merely slip under the dog c, and the pinion G would remain in its new position, being held by the spring looking-dog B', so that upon again moving the hand L, for in- I stance, to $5, the pinion Gwould be turned still farther, until, by its continued engagement with the pinion p, the number 9 on the disk Q' would be exposed through its readingopening, and so on.

i/Vhere dollars and cents are required to be registered and indicated at one operation of the machine, both hands may be operated, either simultaneously or successively, and their simultaneous resetting would occnr upon depressing the key A'.

It'will be seen that the numbers exposed through the upper row of reading-openings will indicate only dollars, of Which those on the disk Q' Would represent units, those on the disk Q" tens, and those on the disk Q' hundreds. The lower row would represent both dollars and cents, the cents being represented on the wheel I, the units of dollars on the disk P', the .tens of dollars on the disk P, and the hundreds of dollars on the disk P'.

It will also be seen that the total amount registered on each set of disks at any 'time maybe seen at a glance by mere numerical reading Without the necessity of any addition. Thus in the lower set, if the number 30 on the wheel I be exposed through its reading-opening, the number 1 on the disk P', the number 2` on the disk P, and the number 3 on the disk P', a total registry of $32L30 would be clearly indicated. In the same manner in the upper set, if the number 9 on the disk Q' were exposed, the number 2 on the disk Q, and the number 1 on the 'disk Q', a total registry of $l29 would be indicated on this set of disks.

The back of the case is provided with any suitable looked door, by opening Which access may be had to buttons' upon the rear end of each of the shafts I N N' and O' O O', by means of which the disks are readily reset to zero after the readings have been taken at the end of a day's business.

It will be understood that the only office of the ratchet a b and spring-dog cisto furnish a ratchet-and-pawl connection between'the shaft E and pinion G and to serve by the engagement of the ratchet a with the looking-dog S as a means of lockingv the shaft E with its hand L in any position to which' the hand may be turned. Such being the case, it is evident that the ratchet-and-pawl connection, instead of consisting of the ratchet b and dog c, might be interposed directly between the shaft E and the hub of the pinion G, in the usual manner of such connections, so that the pinion G would be actuated directly by the shaft E, in which event the only office of the ratchet a b would be to serve as a looking device for the hand L, for which purpose it might be merely a single ratchet, or any other suitable locking device might be employed in its stead. The same is true of the ratchet H and the-wheel I upon the sleeve F.

Again, the nn mbers on the wheel I might be omitted and saidwheel, instead of being a combined ratchet and registering wheel, be simply a pinion-wheel similar to the pinion G, in which event it would be arranged to engage constantly Withthe pinion i in the same manner that the pinion G meshes with the pinion p. In such case the pinion t' would preferably be made larger and be provided with twenty teeth,to correspond with the teeth of the wheel I. The numbers on the disk P' (also made larger) would be changed to mnltiples of five from O to 945, inclusive, and would indicate cents. The pinion m would, through the medium of the pinion k and its pin Z, be turned one notch for each complete revolution of the pinion i, as under the present construction, but the numbers on the disk P would indicate units of dollars and those on the disk P' tens of dollars, while a fourth might be provided to indicate hundreds of dollars, all as will be readily understood.

Again, the construction of the machine might be simplified by dispensing with the upper set of registering mechanism and arranging the pinion G- to actuate the same dollarwheel which is actuated by the cent-Wheel of the lower set. In this manner the Operations of both the hands-K and L would be registered on the same set of registering mechanism, the former through the medium of the wheel I and the latter through the medium of the pinion G.

Again, While we have shown and described the retracting-spring for the shaft E and sleeve F as consisting of a single coiled spring, J, it will be understood that separate Springs may be employed for said shaft and sleeve, if desired.

Having thus fully we claim- 1. In a cash register and indicator, the cornbination of a numberedldial, a central shaft, an operating index-hand secured to said shaft in froutrof said dial, azero-stop for said hand, a retracting-spring for said shaft, a ratchet secured upon said shaft and a wheel loose upon said shaft, an actuating-dog between said ratchet and wheel, registering mechanism actuated by said wheel, a looking-dog engaging with said ratchet, a releasing-key, a lookingbolt actuated by said releasing-key, a drawer looked by said bolt, a gong, its hammer and tripping-arm, and a link connecting said releasing-key with thelocking-dog and trippingarm, snbstantially as described.
