COlN-CONTROLLED STRENGTH-TESTING MACHINE.
SPECEI-ICATON forming part of Letters Patent No. 385,921, dated Jul-y l0, 1888.
Application tiled February 1T, ISES. Serial No. 264.11143.
To @ZZ whom, it may concern:
Beit known that l, Josnrn imvAN'rEnY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CoinControlled Strength- Testing Machines, ot' which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved coincontrolled strength-testing machine of that class which is known as hand*power-testing7 machines, and which works only when the mechanism is automatically released by dropping a suitable coin into the same.
The invention relates more especially to eertain improvements in the coin controlled strength -testing machine for which Letters Patent were granted to Ferdinand Messer, No. 381,409, dated April 17, 1888; and the invention consists of certain improvements in the coin-controlled strengtlrtesting machines ol" the class described, by which the more reliable working of the machine is produced when the coin is dropped into the machine, the same readily adjusted to work with coins ot" different size, a more accurate record of the power et' the muscles otthe hand made, and a register provided for counting and registering the number of coins dropped in the machine.
In theaceompanying drawings, Figurel represents a front elevation of my improved coineontrollcd strength-testing machine, shown with the dial removed. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section on line 00 Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the same on line y y, Fig. l, drawn on a larger scale and without the covering glass plate and auxiliary hand. Fig. et is a detail section of the coinreleasing mechanism; and Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 are details ot' the coin-registering` device used in connection with the machine.
Similar lett'ers of reference indicate corresponding parts.
teferring to the drawings, A represents a casing of cylindrical shape, which is provided at the front part with a dial, a, and a glass plate, a, and at the rear part with a hinged door, f, which is locked to the casing A in any approved manner. The easing A is supported on a suitable stand, A', and provided at one side with a fixed handle, B, and within (No model.)
the same with amovablc handle, B', from which extends a slide-rod, 32, to the interior of the casing A. The slide-rod BL is provided at the inner end with a cross-bar, O, which is guided by openings on tixed rods O' at the interior ot' the casing and acted upon by strong spiral springs O2, which are interposed between the cross-bar O and the lixcd sockets C, to which the guide-rods C are applied, as shown in Fig. l. To the slide-rod 152 is attached a rack, I), which meshes with a pinion, b', to the shaftbz ot' which is applied the pointer or hand d. A second auxiliary hand, d', is applied by africtionspring, d2, to the glass plate a and attached to the inner end of a button, d, the shank ot' which is supported in a central opening ot' the glass plate a, as shown in Fig. 2. The auxiliary hand d' is taken along by a pin, d, on the hand d when the latter is actuated by the motion ofthe slide-rod B", rack b, and pinion b. \\hen the movable handle B is released, the hand d is returned by the action ot' the springs Ci" on the sliderod B2 to its normal position. The auxiliary hand d' remains in the position to which it has been moved by the ha nd d andl indicates accurately the power ot` the muscles on the dial. The auxiliary hand d is then returned to zero by taking hold ot' the button d, so as to be ready for the next operation o1' the machine.
The casing A is sti't'ened by upright braces C, which are connected by a horizontal bar, Y, near the middle oi' the casing. To the connecting-bar is attached a bracket-plate, c, which serves to support the lower end of a coin-tube, E, that extends from a slot, e', at the top ot` the casing in downward direction and communicates with a coinpocket, E', which is located back oi' the slide rod B. The coin c2, by which the hand-powertesting mechanism is released, is dropped through the slot c and conveyed through the coin-tube E and the lower open end of the same into the coin-pocket E, as shown clearly in Fig. 4. The coin-pockct E is formed of a slotted block which is attached byscrews to the slide-rod B2. The end ot' the coin-pocket E' next below the opening ot' thc coin-tube E is curved or inclined so as to conduct the coin e2 dropped through the coin-tube E along the curved or IOO inclined end of the coinpocket into contact with an anti-friction roller, f, as shown in Fig. 3. 4The lower end of the coin-tube E is also open and made tapering at that yside adjoining the roller f, so as to provide the required space for the motion of the coin e2 and the anti-friction roller f. The roller f is applied loosely to a pivot, f', which is attached to a latch, F, t-hat is hinged at one end to a lug of one of the braces C4 of the casing A, while the opposite end of the latch F abuts against a raised stop, Gr, of the slide-rod B2, as shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 3. When the coin e arrives at the lower end of the cointube E, it moves along the curved or inclined end of the slotted coin-pocket E and forms contact with the anti-friction roller f of. the latch F below the center of the roller f, as shown in Fig. 4. When the movable handle AB is then moved toward the iixed handle B,
'As soon as the roller f has passed over the coin, the said coin is dropped through the slot of the coin-pocket E into a chute, D, below the pocket and condurtedl by the same into a suitable receptacle at the bottom of the casi ng. (Not shown in the drawings.) Nhen the movvable handle B is-relcased by the hand, the slide-rod B2 is moved inward again, so that the latch F re-eiigages the abutment Grandy locks the parts in position until the latch is again released by the next dropping of a coin and operating of the handle B. The pivot f of the anti-friction rollerf is arranged eccentrically on its shank, the latter being secured by a set-screw, f, into a socket, f3, of the latch F, as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and 8.
The eccentric pivoting of the anti friction roller fV permits the adjustment of the latter i for coins of different sizes, so that the same machine can be readily used either with a onecent, five-cent, or ten-cent piece, or with coins of different countries, without altering the interior construction ofthe machine, as it simply requires the adjustment of the vanti-friction roller f ou the latch F to the proper diameter of the coin.
To the lower part ofthe cross-head C is applied a downwardly-extending adjustable bar, g, which engages by its slotted end the pivot of a piston-rod, y', the piston g2 of which is guided in a horizontal tube, g, which terminates at the outside of the easing. The tube g3 communicates with the lower open end of a cigarette-receptacle, H. With each forward motion ofthe movable handle Ba cigarette is pushed through the tube g3 to the outside, while at each backward motion of the handle 1 a new cigarette is supplied to the tube ga in front of the plunger g2 from the receptacleH. This feature I do not claim, as it is clearly shown and claimed in the prior application of Ferdinand Mosser, heretofore referred to.
In the casing A is arranged a registering device, I, which is attached to the transverse supporting-bar C5 and operated by an inclined cam, fi, applied to the lower part of the cross-head C, said inclined cam operating a pin, fi', which projects through an opening of pivoted and spring-actuated lever, i2, provided with a spring-pawl, 113. Whenever the pin irides down along the cam t', the forward motion of the cross-head C following the motion ofthe handle B', the pin and pawl i3 are lowered, while on the return motion of the cross-head C the pin z" rides upward on the cam 13 and causes the raising of the pin t" and pawl 3, and consequently the turning of the ratchet wheel #,with which the pawl 153 meshes, for the distance of one tooth. By the rotary motion imparted to the ratchet-wheel 2'" a hand is moved along a suitabledial ofthe registering device,while by a fixed carrying-tooth, i5, on the ratchet-wheel i asecond ratchet-wheel, i, and hand is turned on a second dial, as customary in registering devices of this class.
The registering device indicates the number of coins dropped in the hand-testing apparatus, and forms thereby a control for the number of times which the saine has been used for Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination of a fixed handle,a movable handle, a spring-actuated slide-rod attached to said handle, a stop or abutment on said slide-rod, a pivoted latch engaging said abutment, an eccentrically pivoted and adjustable anti-friction roller on said latch, a coin-tube having an open end ,terminating near the roller, and a coin-pocket attached to the slide-rod and located below the cointube and the roller, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination of a fixed handle,a movable handle, a slide-rod applied to said movable handle, a cross-head at the inner end of the slide-rod, springs acting on said crosshead, a stop or abutment on the slide-rod, a pivoted latch engaging said abutment, an eccentrically-adjustable anti-friction roller on said latch, a coin tube open at the lower end, a coin-pocket attached to the slide-rod below the coin-tube, and a conducting-chute below the coin-tube, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my namein presence of two subscribing witnesses.
