  GENERAL DESCRIPTION.



   Earlier machines of this type have a single totalizer which is used when the machine operates as a cash register and adding machine.



  When a machine of this type is used as a cash register, a general or partial totalizing operation can only be carried out after having brought a control cursor by hand to a position which puts the machine in a ready state. 'perform these operations. On the other hand, when the control cursor has been brought into a position putting the machine in a state to operate as an adding machine, a general or partial totalization operation can be executed by simply lowering certain control keys provided for this purpose. .

   When this machine is used as a cash register, it is not convenient to obtain in practice a total of the items which are part of each registered transaction involving multiple items, due to the manual adjustment of the slider which must be made. command to achieve these results. As a result, the machine being used as a cash register, is more apt to accumulate all the items belonging to the various operations recorded in the machine, thus maintaining a total

  <Desc / Clms Page number 6>

 current of all items stored in the machine.



  But if one wishes to pass from the operation of a cash register to that of an adding machine, it is necessary to first reset the totalizer to zero to remove the running total before being able to use the machine as a cash machine. add.



   The machine according to the invention comprises two totalizers, namely an article totalizer and a group totalizer, with new selection means controlling the movement of movement of the various totalizers before engaging them with the sectors or other drive members. uprights and with new means for controlling the switching on and off of the totalisers and said sectors.

     1, the arrangement according to the invention includes several lowerable control keys, some of which control the operation of the item totalizer, when the machine is serving the cash register, so that the various items forming part of each operation or transaction can be recorded on the totalizer, a subtotal of these items can be printed, then the amount of taxes, or other amount, can be added to it and the resulting total can be printed on the recording slip and transferred to the group totalizer.



  If the operation to be recorded in the machine includes only one item, the group totalizer is chosen by another command key to register this item.



    Before being able to use the machine as an adding machine, it is necessary to make it work under the command of one of the control keys to eliminate any amount possibly recorded on the

  <Desc / Clms Page number 7>

 item totalizer, an amount that is automatically transferred to the group totalizer to ensure that a running total of all items remains recorded in the machine. A manually adjustable control slider serves to put the machine in a position to perform various functions, for example those of an adding machine when only the article totalizer is used.

   When using the machine as an adding machine, a subtotal or grand total of the amount recorded on this item totalizer can be printed at any time by simply pressing down the subtotals or totals control key. general, in the same way as when the machine is operating as a cash register. However, under these conditions, the amount removed from the item totalizer is not transferred to the group totalizer. It is evident from the above that when switching from the operation of a cash register to that of an adding machine, the total of the amounts recorded in the machine while it is operating as a cash register remains recorded in the group totalizer.



  When it is desired to return to the operation of a cash register, it is relatively simple to reset the item totalizer to zero and set the control slider to a position enabling the machine to function as a cash register.



   The machine according to the invention is arranged so as to operate normally by electricity. However, it comprises a device which allows it to be operated by hand, if it is necessary or advantageous to do so.

  <Desc / Clms Page number 8>

 



   In the form of construction shown and described, the machine according to the invention comprises five rows of addition keys or amount keys, four rows of printing keys for ledger accounts or numbers, one row of keys operations or transactions and a row of column selection keys.



   The operation of the title machine, either cash register or adding machine, is

 commanded by a cursor. the command, located in a convenient position on the left side of the keyboard. This control cursor can occupy five setting positions, namely:
 EMI8.2
 recording, blocked recording, total statement, addition and carry forward of total; it has a lock that can be operated by two types of keys, which can be used either

   E "1; r do machine: i vlf - 'Cir7 Un1 operation of recording a total is often called,'; it ends ie r.:,t-:r; operation of" reinort "of the total and a sub-total recording operation ¯ the total 'reading' operation. Consequently, the terms "total" and "carry over" of the total relate here to an operation in which

  <Desc / Clms Page number 9>

 the totalizer is removed from the amount recorded therein and the terms "partial total" or "statement" from the total, the operations in which the amount remains recorded 'on the totalizer.



   When the machine is used as a cash register, the upright keys in the fifth order, or highest order row, are locked and cannot be lowered, and only the upright keys in the fourth order row can be used to register amounts. amounts, thus providing a maximum recording capacity of $ 99.99. When the machine serves as an adding machine, the fifth row upright keys are unlocked, giving the keyboard a capacity of $ 999.99. This variation of the keyboard capacity is controlled by the control cursor and when this cursor is in any position other than the addition position, the fifth row upright keys are locked and cannot be lowered.



   The control slider not only regulates the functions of the machine as a cash register or adding machine, but also controls the switching on and off of the group totalizer and the item totalizer with sectors or other devices. drive, each of these totalisers comprising a wheel corresponding to each of the five orders of units of the rows of the control keys and a wheel corresponding to the sixth order and which serves to record the wheel retention amounts of the highest order , that is, the fifth.

   When the control cursor is in the recording position, the row of operation keys works in combination with it, so as to control the selection of the totalizers to be switched on or off.

   The payment and sale cancellation keys do not cause the totalizers to be selected and are only used to control the adjustment of the amount indicating and printing devices, as well as of the identification symbols.



   In the case of a credit transaction, the debits key is lowered to record an operation relating to a single item and this key controls only the indicating and printing devices of the amounts, without choosing any totalizer. On the other hand, if a debit operation for multiple items is to be registered in the machine, the item selection key is lowered and the various items constituting this operation are thus registered. The item selection key controls the selection of the item totalizer for recording.

   Then the selection key for the total to be debited is lowered, so as to clear the totalizer of the articles of this total without transferring it to the group totalizer and to control means for indicating and printing this total debtor amount with a symbol of identification.



   If it is desired that the machine accumulate credit items on the group totalizer in the same way as cash items, it is easy to mount a single member on the machine which enables it to perform this operation.



   When the control slider is in the locked recording position, all keys on the keyboard are locked and cannot be lowered and machine operation cannot be triggered.

  <Desc / Clms Page number 12>

 



   When the control cursor is in the total reading position, the operation of the machine causes the automatic group totalizer reading.



   If the control cursor is in the addition position, the machine operates as an addition machine and, in this case, the item totalizer is switched on and off with the feed sectors, uprights or addition of the fifth order row, that is to say the highest, are free and can be lowered. If you want to read a subtotal on the item totalizer, press the subtotals key down.

   We lower it. item selection key for cash total to clear the item totalizer of the total amount, but in this case this amount is not transferred to the group totalizer, as when the machine is operating as a cash register, as described above.



   When the control cursor is brought to the total transfer position, the machine, while operating, clears the group total of the amount recorded therein 'the totalizer is reset to zero and this amount is transferred' on the indicators and prints on the slip recording.



   It can be seen from the foregoing that the control exerted by the item selection key for the cash total, on switching on and off of the item and group totalizers, is variable depending on the position of the control cursor. .



   The differential or step-by-step mechanisms corresponding to the five rows of addition keys or uprights not only adjust the position of the wheels of the

  <Desc / Clms Page number 13>

 corresponding totalisers, but also that of the corresponding character-carrying wheels printing the information on the registration slip. Likewise, the differential mechanisms corresponding to the four lower rows of the upright keys adjust the position of the corresponding indicator wheels, which are visible through windows in front and behind the upper portion of the machine housing, so as to indicate the amounts when the machine is used as a cash register.

   The character wheels corresponding to the lower four rows of the upright keys are mounted in a frame which can move sideways from the normal print position to one of the eight print positions in the columns. so as to classify the articles when the machine is used as a cash register. The movement of the lower four-order upright character wheel support frame in front of the appropriate column is controlled by the row of column selection keys on the right side of the keyboard. The operation keys control the position of the corresponding indicators and the corresponding character-carrying wheels indicating and recording the type of operation performed.



   The registration slip, a portion of which is shown in Fig. 2, is relatively wide and is divided into nine vertical columns, the last of which on the left side is much wider than the other eight and is used to print ledger numbers and all other identifying marks and amounts, as well as enter the additional information in front of the printed records by hand. When the machine is in use

  <Desc / Clms Page number 14>

 As a cash register, all subtotals and grand totals are printed in this wide column on the left side and when used as an adding machine, all amounts, subtotals and grand totals are printed in this left column.



   When the machine is used as a cash register, canceled items are always printed in the left column, but cash and credit items cannot be printed there, and therefore must be printed in one of the other eight columns to the right of this column.



    When used as a cash register account and paid items can be printed in the left column or. in any of the other eight columns of the at will check-in slip.



  DETAILED DESCRIPTION.



  Machine frame -
The machine mechanism is supported by soft main flanges 60 and 61, Fig. 5, 6, 8 and 22, fixed on a base 62. The indicator mechanism and part of the mechanism bringing the printing device into position are supported by auxiliary flanges 63 and 64, FIG.



  4, 14. 18 and 22, respectively fixed to the main flanges 60 and 61. The base 62 of the machine is supported by the housing of a drawer and. This housing contains the cash drawer. The mechanism of the machine is enclosed in a suitable casing or casing 65.



   According to Figs. 1 and 9, a control slider 72 is slidably mounted on the main flange on the left side, 60, in a manner described later and supports a latch with rotating locking rod 73 which has a tab which penetrates into notches of a locking plate,

  <Desc / Clms Page number 15>

 when you turn this tigo by means of a key inserted in it. The notches of the locking plate are arranged to correspond to the recording and locked recording positions of the cursor 72, which can therefore be locked in one of these positions by whoever has the key to the lock. of this slider.



  Actuating mechanism.



   Under normal conditions, an electric motor of an ordinary type drives a mainshaft 79 by rotating it clockwise with each operation of the machine. However, a hand crank can be used to rotate the main shaft, if it is necessary or beneficial to do so.



  Keyboard.



   According to FIG. 1, the keypad of the machine according to the invention has four rows of post keys 80, giving the machine a maximum recording capacity of $ 99.99, an additional row of post keys 81, used in combination. with the keys of the amounts 80 which increases the capacity of the keyboard to 999.99 dollars when the machine serves as an adding machine, four rows of keys 82 for controlling the printing of the numbers and a row of keys 83 for the operations which control the movement of the corresponding character-carrying wheels,

   bringing them into the position for recording the type of operation in progress as well as the switching on and off of the totalizers and the drive sectors and the movement of movement of the totalizers carrying out their selection. The keyboard also includes a row of column selection keys 84 which selectively control the movement of the displacement.

  <Desc / Clms Page number 16>

 laying in the four rows of the keys of the amounts 80, so as to cause the printing of the various articles in the corresponding columns of the registration slip, a space key 85 performing the spacing of the lines by hand on the slip of registration and a key 86 for manually unlocking the cash drawer.



  An engine switch bar 87 serves to initiate operation of the machine, while control slider 72 serves to control its functions.



   Keys 80 to 86 inclusive are not arranged in individual rows as usual, but they are assembled in a single keyboard frame having front and rear frame inserts 88 and 89, one at each end of the frame, Fig. . 5; 6 and 8, a partition 90 for each row of keys, an upper support plate 91, and a lower support plate 92.



  All the aforementioned slaps are fixed to each other by tenon and mortise assemblies, not shown.



  Small bars 93 pass through holes drilled in the partition walls 90, and in windows cut in the keys 80, so as to hold them in the machine. The entire keyboard is held in place in the machine by means of :) four screws 94, only one of which is shown; these screws pass through holes with clearance drilled in tabs folded up, front and rear elements 88 and 89 of the frame and are screwed into holes drilled in the main flanges 60 and 61.



  Oven remove the entire keyboard assembly from the machine, it suffices to remove the four screws 94.



   A top plate 95, Fig. 1, 5, 6 and 8, covers the keyboard chassis, and serves to give a

  <Desc / Clms Page number 17>

 net to all of this keyboard. The top plate of the keypad 95 has holes with clearance allowing the tops of all the keys to pass through, as well as holes for the passage of the control cursor 72 and the motor bar 87. In the frame M shown to the right of the keys can be scope of various inscriptions such as "Gas, Oil, Laundry" ... etc .. Keys of the amounts.



   Since the key mechanism is substantially the same for each row of these keys, the description of the ten cents (1/10 of a dollar) amount keys shown in FIG. 5 seems to be sufficient.



   The keys 80, Fig. 1 and 5, of the row of ten cents are mounted in windows of the plates 91 and 92 in which they can be lowered, and are held there by means of windows cut out in the keys, and in which pass the aforementioned bars 93. Each of the keys 80 of the uprights is normally retained in the non-lowered position by a coil spring 101 which extends horizontally over the entire length of the entire keyboard, one of these springs corresponding to all the keys of the same value. numeric, and each spring can enter key notches of the same numerical value in all rows of keys.

   The springs 101 rest on the upper surface of the upper support plate 91; when lowering a key, this spring is put under tension because it is pushed downwards by a hole drilled in this plate next to the stem of the key, and when the key is released, the spring 101 rises to its un-lowered position - as indicated.



   Each row of upright keys has a push button 102, FIG. 5, which locks the keys in position

  <Desc / Clms Page number 18>

 lowered, and a control plate 103 which triggers the stop keys to zero, so that the differential mechanism or not can move away from the zero position, and be stopped by the buttons of the uprights which have been lowered. . The rows of the buttons of the uprights are of a so-called "flexible" form of construction, that is to say that by pressing a button in the row, a previously lowered button in the same row is released.



  Differential mechanism of the uprights.



   Since the form of construction and operation of the differential mechanism corresponding to each row of upright keys are substantially the same as in the prior machines shown and described, a short description of this mechanism seems sufficient.



   Each row of the buttons of the uprights 80 or 81 comprises in combination with it several differential slides 104, FIG. 5, which are supported and can move in a frame comprising anterior and posterior elements 105 and 106 fixed respectively on bars 107 and 108, in the shape of an inverted U, which themselves are fixed on separating plates 109 for each order of a '! tee (a too much of a desire). These plates are mounted on their side on bars 110 and 111, supported by main flanges 60 and 61.

   Each differential slide 104 has four upwardly directed protrusions with tabs 112 curved to the left, ot cooperating with the mouths of the odd numbers.
3, 5 and 7, each slide has four similar projections with tabs 113 curved to the right, and cooperating with the back mouths even numbers 2,4, 6 and

  <Desc / Clms Page number 19>

 8. The button shafts for the uprights in each row are staggered, so that the button shafts for odd numbers face to the left, while those for even numbers face right.



   When one of the buttons of the uprights is lowered, except for the "9" button, its rod comes to move in the path of the corresponding tab 112 or 113, and at the same time the stop pawl at zero moves away the path of another tab, not shown integral with the slider 104. The rearward movement of the differential slider 104 under the action of the differential mechanism of the uprights, described below, brings the tab 112 or 113 into contact with the lower end of the rod of the button of the uprights lowered, so as to stop the slider 104 and the corresponding differential mechanism after they have executed a differential movement corresponding to the value of the lowered button.

   When the key "9" of any row of the uprights is lowered, the slider 104 moves back along its entire length to position "9", which is determined by the contact of a projection 114 of this slider. , with a square stud 115, integral with the separation plate 109 on the left side, corresponding to the order of unit in question.



   The slide 104, FIG. 5 is coupled to a corresponding differential mechanism, and controls the movement of this mechanism by bringing it into different positions, in accordance with the control exerted by the keys during the backward movement of the slide.



  During the addition operations, the corresponding wheel of the selected totalizer engages the mechanism

  <Desc / Clms Page number 20>

 differential when this has been brought into a differential position, and the return movement of this mechanism to its rest position adjusts the totalizer wheel in accordance with the value of the lowered uprights key.



   The differential mechanism of the uprights which is shown in FIG. 5, comprises a toothed drive sector 123 receiving a differential movement, mounted idly on a bar 124, and comprising a pin 122 which penetrates into a notch of an arm 121, fixed on the differential slide 104, so that the sector 123 can drive the slider 104 in synchronism with it, and the slider can control the amplitude of movement of the tooth sector 123.



   By weighting each operating cycle of the machine, the sector; 1: drive input 123 first rotates clockwise, then counterclockwise, under the action of a sector 134 also mounted loose on the bar 124, and which receives its movement in the direction of clockwise, and in the opposite direction, during each operation of the machine, by a device described below.



   The toothed sector 123 is coupled to the control sector 134 by means of a latch 127 mounted to oscillate on an axis 128, integral with a latch plate 129, also loose on the bar 124. A pin 126 integral with the latch 127 moves in an inclined window 125 cut in the toothed sector 123 as well as in a window 130 cut in a plate 131 for controlling the lock, and constitutes the coupling device of these parts, allowing their combined movement.

   A spring 132 tends to rotate the toothed sector 123 in the direction of clockwise,

  <Desc / Clms Page number 21>

 counterclockwise latch control plate 131, exerting a shearing action between windows 125 and 130 and stud 126 to normally retain latch 127 in the clockwise position of Fig. 5, in which this lock is in contact with a shoulder 133, of the control sector 134.



  As long as the latch 127 remains in contact with the shoulder 133, the control sector 134 can impart, during its clockwise movement, a movement to the drive toothed sector 123, to the control plate 131. lock, and the differential slide 104.



   As has already been said, the movement of the differential slide 104 can be stopped under the control of the buttons of the uprights, after this slide has executed movements of different amplitude. When the slide 104 is thus stopped, it prevents, by means of the arm 121 and of the pin 122, the toothed sector 123 from continuing its movement. But, at this moment, the movement of the latch 127 continues, and thus allows.,: The pin 126 of this latch 127 to cooperate with the window 125 of the toothed sector 123, thus stopping the contact of the latch 127 with the shoulder 133 , of the sector 134, and by disengaging the toothed sector 123 from its control device.

   Under these conditions, the differential slide 104 effectively controls the differential movement of the toothed drive sector 123, depending on the amount recorded on the upright keys.



   By causing the anti-clockwise movement of the drive sector 134, a pin 173 integral with this sector comes into contact with an extension.

  <Desc / Clms Page number 22>

 ment of the latch plate 129, which is not shown in FIG. 5, main is similar to the extension 252 shown in FIG. 6, and which controls said latch plate 129 @ latch 127, and through pin 126, toothed sector 123, latch control plate 131, and differential slide 104, returning them to their normal position or departure.



   The device which imparts the aforementioned movements clockwise or counterclockwise to the drive sector 134 during each operation of the machine, will now be described.



   As already stated, main shaft 79 makes one full clockwise revolution during machine operation. The transmission sector 134 has a notch 141, FIG. 5, in which penetrates a pin integral with a differential shaft 142 mounted idle on a shaft 143, supported by the flanges 60 and 61. An eccentric 144 adjusts the arm 142 with a conjugate arm 145 also idle on the bar 143, and arm 145 as well as similar arms corresponding Gril! other differential mechanism are joined together by a bar 146.

   This is carried by a lever 147 è differential cam also insane on the bar! 43. The cam lever 147 carries rollers 148 and 149; which cooperate respectively with the peripheries of corresponding flat tails 150 and 151, wedged on the main shaft 79 The lever 147 is mounted at the end of the left side of the bar 143, and supports the end of the left side of the bar 146 ;

     while a similar cam lever, not shown, is mounted toward the right side end of bar 143 and supports the end of the right side.

  <Desc / Clms Page number 23>

 right of the bar 146, and carries rollers which cooperate with a pair of corresponding flat cams, not shown, but similar to the cams 150 and 151, and also wedged on the main control shaft 79. The bar 146 therefore constitutes a operating link between the cam levers, such as 147, and the arms 145 of the upright differential mechanism, and the differential mechanism. corresponding to the digit printing control keys 82.



   As already stated, the main shaft 79, Fig. 5, makes a clockwise turn during machine operation. When the latter is in the rest position, the slider 104 and the toothed sector 123 have come to a position beyond zero as shown, to allow the transfers to be carried out.

   At the start of an operation of the machine, the cams 150 and 151, as well as the other pair of cams not shown, which corresponds to them, cause the arm 142 and the drive sector to oscillate through the transmissions shown. 134 a short distance in a clockwise direction, so as to bring the toothed sector 123 and the slider 104 to the zero position, in which they remain while the postponement mechanism, if activated, returns to its normal position. . Once the transfer mechanism returns to its normal position, the drive sector 134 receives from the cams 150 and 151 a further clockwise movement, which tends to further advance the toothed sector 123 and the slide. differential 104.

The counterclockwise return movement of the differential control arm 142, under the action of the cams 150 and 151, causes the sector 134 to rotate counterclockwise, bringing the pin 173 of this sector into contact with the extension of the latch plate 129, not shown, but similar to the extension 252 of FIG.



  6 at the same time that the shoulder 133 or notched portion of the periphery of the sector 134, exceeds the locking portion of the latch 1.27. When the notched portion of the periphery of the sector 134 moves in front of the latch 127, the shearing action of the angular windows 125 and 130, of the toothed sector 123 and of the plate 131, immediately returns this latch, under the action of the spring 132, in contact with the shoulder 133 of the sector 134.

   Latch plate 129 and latch 127 can then freely rotate counterclockwise at the same time as sector 154, and, through pin 126, drive control plate 131 with them. of the latch, and the toothed sector 125, counterclockwise, from the position in which they were brought to the rest position.

   This counterclockwise return movement of the toothed sector 123 causes the teeth 172 to turn the totalizer wheel which is in engagement with them, and corresponds to the order of unit in question, in the direction of the teeth 172. clockwise, according to the value represented by the

   as described above. The row of operation keys contains the following keys, Fig. 1. The Std key for selecting items for the total to be debited, the Stc key for selecting items for the cash total, the Tp key for partial totals, the Sa key for selecting items, the An cancellation key , the Pa key for payments, the Ac key for down payments, the From key for debits, and the Co key for cash.

   These keys 83 have been numbered respectively from one to nine according to their position in the row, to make the control exerted by the various keys easier to describe.



   When one of the keys of the operations 83 is pressed, a projection 231 on the anterior or left side of the rod of the key cooperates with the anterior edge of a corresponding window of a locking pusher. 225, so as to advance the pusher, that is to say to the left according to the figure, against the action of a spring not shown, until the projection 231 passes under the pusher. At this time, the pusher 225 is returned by the spring to a position above the projection 231, so as to maintain the key in its lowered position.

   This row of keys is of the so-called "flexible" type and all the keys, except the item selection key, can be triggered when another key of the row is pressed. ,
The machine has an ordinary key lock shaft 286 which trips and receives clockwise movement to initiate machine operation and which receives counterclockwise movement. a watch towards the end

  <Desc / Clms Page number 28>

 of every machine operation.

   As well as it is
 EMI28.1
 Known, key release members are mounted loose on the key lock shaft and receive a counterclockwise movement of the
 EMI28.2

  s tripping devices are driven by the shaft towards the end of each machine operation, so as to î. push the pushbuttons .J.c blocking back divorsos rows of vents to the left to release any lowered keys. One of these triggers, designated 229 in Figs. 6, 25 and 24, done
 EMI28.3
 advance the push-button 225, that is to say to the left to trigger any keys lowered in this row, except the button Sa for selecting the articles.



   Another locking pusher 226, FIG. 6 and 7, has an extension 372 at its end on the right side and this extension carries a stud 371 which penetrates into a
 EMI28.4
 notch of an F) î (I'ce 3539 mounted loose on the key blocking shaft 286; this stud is pushed to the left by a spring 354 which acts on part # 53. The pusher 226 has windows, so that it works only under the action of the Sa button for selecting articles.
 EMI28.5
 



  A projection 252 on the rear or right side of the rod of the button Sa for selecting the items co-operates with the corresponding window of the pusher 226 so as to push the pusher back against the action of the spring t 354 and when the key has been pressed; the pusher returns forward and passes over the projection 232 while holding the item selection button Sa in the lowered position,

 until pusher 226 is moved under control of the item selection Stc key for the total

   The pusher 226 therefore serves to maintain the article selection key Sa in the lowered position for the duration of the registration of the various articles which constitute an operation relating to multiple articles, even when the locking pusher 225 is actuated towards the bottom. end of each item registration operation.



   The various grand and partial totals keys and the Cancel key actuate a control plate 233 which prevents the amount keys and all keys, except the Debit Debit and Cash Co keys, from being lowered. nt cause, by means of extensions 234 of a control plate 235 of the row of column selection keys 84, the removal of a hook 235, FIG. 8, un.organe 237 wedged on the shaft 286 for locking the keys. The machine according to the invention comprises another hook 227, FIG. 6, which cooperates with another member 228 wedged on the shaft 286 for locking the keys.



  A control plate 259 of the row of operations keys is pushed to the left when an operations key is pressed and causes the release of this hook 227, as well as of the pawl 257 for the zero stop of the differential slide of this row.



   The release of hooks 227 and 236 is controlled so as to release them both when any of the keys in the row of operations are pressed, except the De for debits and Co for cash keys, and thus to unlock the blocking line of the keys by the bar, 87 of the motor switch, but when the keys De for flow rates and Co for cash are pressed, these keys

  <Desc / Clms Page number 30>

 only cause the release of the hook 227 and it is necessary to press a key 84 of the column selection row to release the hook 236 so that the key block line can be released by the bar d 'engine switch.



   As has already been said, the pusher 225 moves forward towards the end of each operation of the machine and triggers all the keys except the item selection key; possibly lowered. Even when the pusher 225 is actuated, the article selection key Sa is held in the lowered position, by the locking pusher 226 until the latter is moved back, i.e. to the right. The mechanism for moving pusher 226 to the right is described below.



   According to Fig. 5, 6, 7, 23 and 24, the trigger members; 215 and 216 of the orders of dimes and units, are mounted idle on the keylock shaft 286 and are coupled with this shaft by a sleeve. These triggering members 215 and 216 comprise extensions at their lower ends in which windows such as 329 are cut; one of which is shown in Fig. 5, and these windows have a narrow lower portion and a wider upper portion.

   A lever 327 which has a window 330 in its 'lower end' is also mounted on the key locking shaft 286. A rod 328 passes through the windows of the extensions of the triggers 215 and 216 as well as through the window 330. lever 327. If the rod 328 is located in the lower or narrow portion of the windows 329 of the trigger members 215 and 216,

  <Desc / Clms Page number 31>

 it is driven by these members when they oscillate counterclockwise and communicates this movement to the lever 327.

   On the contrary, if the rod 328 is located in the upper or wider portion of the windows of the trigger members 215 and 216, it is not driven by these members and the lever 327 does not oscillate.



   When the lever 327 oscillates counterclockwise, an upwardly directed extension of this lever comes into contact with a pin 339, integral with an arm 340, mounted idle on a shaft 351 supported by the main flanges 60 and 61 and oscillate the arm in, direction, reversed clockwise. The arm 340 is coupled by a sleeve to another arm 341 also mounted loose on the shaft 351.

   A stud 342 carried by the arm 341 enters a notch 352 of a part 353 mounted loose on the key lock shaft and when the lever 327 oscillates the arms 340 and 341 in the opposite direction of the needles of a watch, the arm 341 oscillates the part 353 in a clockwise direction and, through a pin 371, moves the locking pusher 226 to the right at the same time as the locking plunger.
225 moves so as to release the Sa button to select articles.



   The rod 328 is carried by connecting rods 325, which are articulated on back arms 324 wedged on a shaft 331 rotatably mounted in two support plates 184 for the totalisers, FIG. 12 and 22, which are fixed to the main flanges 60 and 61. The shaft 331 normally occupies the position of 1a.Fig. 24 in which the rod 328 is in the lower or narrow portion of the windows 329 of the

  <Desc / Clms Page number 32>

 extensions of arms 215 and 216.

   However, during operations in which the article selection key Sa is lowered, the shaft 331 oscillates counterclockwise; shows us the action of the means described below and by oscillating thus, it makes the rod 328 pass in the upper or wider portion of the windows, of

This mechanism is similar and works exactly the same as the differential mechanism of the row of uprights, Fig. 5, and described above except that the differential sector of the differential operating mechanism does not include the tens transfer mechanism and the control teeth, which sector corresponds to the toothed sector for driving the differential mechanism of the uprights. A latch 246, carried by a locking plate 245, comes into contact with a shoulder of a control sector 244 and allows the locking plate 245 to be driven by it.



   A stud 247, integral with the latch 246, penetrates into windows forming an angle between them and cut in a plate 248 of differential equilibrium and in a differential sector 249, so as to establish an operating link between these parts and the plate locking 245. The differential sector 249 carries a stud which penetrates into the lower end of two branches of a plate 250 (torn off in the figure), which is fixed on the differential slide 251 of the operations slidably mounted in 1-e differential slide frame exactly the same as the differential slide
104, Fig. 5, of the row of ten cents previously described.



   The operating differential slide 251 is normally retained in the zero position by a zero stop pawl 257, mounted idle on a shaft 258, mounted for rotation in the flanges 60 and 61. But, as has been explained previously , when one of the operation keys 83, Fig.6 is pressed, the commando plate 259 is brought forward so as to bring the stop pawl 257 to zero in the non-operating position.

   The shaft 221 comprises a control sector 219, FIG. 14 and 21, which is wedged on him and achieves a differential movement with him under the operation keys. A second control sector 220 oscillates on an axis 222, integral with an extension 223 of the auxiliary flange 64 and is coupled by a connecting rod 224 to the sector 219, so that when the sector 219 receives a differential movement in one direction or the other on the part of the shaft 221, the control sector 220 receives a movement of the same amplitude in the same sounds. Control sector 219 includes one device controlling a totalizer selection mechanism and another device which operates with control sector 220 and controls a totalizer engagement device.

   The control surfaces of sectors 219 and 220 are numbered, which correspond to those of the operation keys and indicate the portions of these sections which come to the control position when the corresponding operations key has been depressed. A control sector 363, FIG. 18, fixed to the control sector 220 by a stud 364 is brought into position in the same manner as the control sector 220 and controls the totalizer selection mechanism. The manner in which these aids control the totalizer selection and engagement mechanisms is described in detail below.



   The movement bringing the shaft 221 into its position under the action of the operation keys 83 is transmitted to the indicating mechanism, which is thus brought into the setting position allowing it to indicate the type of operation being recorded.

   A sector 423, Fig. 5, serves to set the correct indicator which is brought through the connecting rod 160 and the beam 157 to a position corresponding to the key which has been lowered.



    Mechanism of totalizers.



   The machine shown has two totalizers, namely an item totalizer and a group totalizer.



  When the machine is used as a cash register, the item totalizer comes out to accumulate the tctal of several of the items, constituting a multi-item operation, and which is transported from this item totalizer to the item totalizer. in the group totalizer, which in the illustrated embodiment maintains a running total of all cash items stored in the machine.



  When it comes to registering a transaction for a cash item, the amount is recorded directly in the group totalizer, but when the machine is used as an adding machine, only the total is used. sour (.the articles.



   The item totalizer has six totalizer wheels 170, FIG. 5 and 22, and the group totalizer has the same number of totalizer wheels 171. Five of the totalizer wheels of each totalizer correspond to the five rows of the uprights and the sixth order wheel is used to receive the fifth order retaining uprights. . The totalizer wheels 170 and 171 are rotatably mounted on a totalizer shaft 174, Figs. 5 and 22, which is supported and can move in a frame, so as to allow the wheels 170 or 171 to come in. face of the toothed drive sectors, which makes it possible to choose one or the other of the totalizers and to actuate it.

 rollers 188 advance through windows 187 and bring the totalizer into engagement with its controller. Roller 188 also enters a cam-shaped window 190 cut into arms, such as 191, Fig. 11, to control movement of alignment device 192. Arms, such as 193, Fig. 13,. Are mounted loose on the tie rods 178 and supporting the alignment device between its ends.



   An arm 196 is attached to the end of the right side of the arbro 177, Figs. 12 and '14, and on this arm is articulated the upper end of a control rod 197, which actuates the shaft 177 causing the switching on and off of the selected totalizer with the drive sectors at the appropriate time during the addition operations, and reading of the partial and general totals.



  The connecting rod 197 can be selectively coupled with its operating device by devices described later and operating under the control of the slider 72 and the differential operating mechanism.



    Totalizer engagement mechanism.



   The mechanism for engaging the totalizers of the machine according to the invention enables the selected totalizer to engage and disengage with the stop sectors at the appropriate time during the various types of operations that can be performed. by the machine.



   The arm 196 is fixed on the end of the right side of the shaft 177 Fig.12 and 14 and 1 upper end of the control rod 197 is articulated on this arm.

 a reverse clockwise sound of the cam-shaped lever 387 raises the connecting rod 197 which, by means of the arm 196, turns the shaft 177 clockwise, making the rollers 188 of the arms 189 with the windows 187, and thus engaging the totalizer with the drive sectors 123 of the uprights.



  The return movement of the cam-shaped lever, 387, lowers the drive rod 197 to its normal position, so as to trigger the totalizer of the toothed sectors 123; a stud 194, carried by the control rod 197, cooperates with the extension 223 of the auxiliary flange 64, and prevents any untimely upward movement of the rod 197, when the latter is in the position of Fig. 14, in preventing the connecting rod from exiting the right side or left side branch of window 385 during any upward movement of said connecting rod.



   This Connecting Rod 19.7 can oscillate around its articulation with the arm 196, so as to make the stud 386 selectively enter the branches on the right side and the left side of the window 385, and allow it to actuate said connecting rod 197 This oscillating movement of the connecting rod is controlled by the control cursor 72, and by the operation keys 83 depending on the type of operation performed by the machine. The manner in which the operation keys and the control cursor move the connecting rod 197 into its position will now be described.



   The control rod 197 carries a stud 198 which cooperates with a notch in a connecting rod 199, FIG. 14 and 17.



  The connecting rod 199 is articulated at its end on the left side on an arm 200 carried by a pin 201 integral with the flange 61, and is articulated at its end on the right side on a lever

   During the final clockwise movement of lever 204, arm 399 returns the lower end of lever 202 to its normal position, so that at the end of the operation, this lever 202 occupies its rest position, or normal of Fig. 14.



   Special control movements of the interlocking mechanism relating to various selected types of machine operation are described in more detail below.



  Totalizer selection mechanism.



     The machine has new means for causing the lateral movement of the totalisers, to selectively determine which of the totalisers is to be engaged with the toothed sectors 123 of the uprights. These means are actuated under the control of the control cursor 72 and of the operation keys 85, Figs. 1, 6 and 9.



   As has already been said, the totalizing rouas 170 and 171, which respectively constitute the

  <Desc / Clms Page number 52>

 
 EMI52.1
 item totalizer and group totalizer, are rotatably mounted on shaft 174, Fig. 22 ;, which can be moved in the horizontal J direction to bring the totalizer wheels from one or the other of the totalisers opposite sectors 1ent (s 125, before engaging these wheels with the toothed sectors. A block 314 (r'ï ¯m189 19, 20 and 22) is also pin 'on the shaft 17 / r and is mounted' sliding on the journal 180 ..

   An arm 332, (Figs. 20 and 22), carrying a pin 555, which enters an opening of the slider 321, is snapped onto a shaft 331 rotatably mounted in the plates 184 of the supports of the totalizer frame, which are fixed on the side flanges 60 and 61. Another arm 334 carrying a pin 335, serving to articulate a part 336 on the arm 334, is also pinned on the shaft 331.

   Part 336 normally rests on a stud 337 carried by frame 64, and can be adjusted to the left from its normal position in Fig. 20, by a device described below, and through the transmission described above, imparts a displacement movement similar to the slide 321: Such a movement of the slide 321 has the effect, as has already been explained, of bringing 1 shaft 174 into a position such that the wheels 170 of the article totalizer are opposite the toothed drive sectors 123 to engage with them.



   As part 338 is moved to the left to bring the item totalizer face to face with toothed sectors 123, the undersurface of part 336, moves past stud 337 and part 556, unless hand-held. held in the raised position by another device, can fall in front of the stud 337, and block the slide 321 in its forward position, so as to keep the article totalizer facing the toothed sectors 123.

   A stud 357, Figs. 18 and 21, carried by the part 336, penetrates into a window 356 cut in an arm 348, oscillating about an axis 550, integral with the auxiliary frame 64, and perinet to this arm

 selection of items, for total debits (Std), for total cash (Stc), subtotals (Tp) of selection of items (Sa), and also oscillates clockwise under the action of an extension 379 of the member 377, coming into contact with a stud 380 carried by the arm, when the control slider 72 is in the add position.



   The means which move the part 336 to the left from its normal position, and return it to that position, are shown in Figures 10, 14, 16 and 18, and will now be described. A lever 343, mounted idle on the axis 203 carried by the lower end of the lever 204, comprises, at its upper end, a stud 344, which is arranged so as to come into contact selectively with vertical surfaces 345 and 369 of part 336, so as to move this part, respectively, to the left and to the right. This lever carries near its lower end a stud 346 which cooperates with two control secterus 347 and 363.



   As has already been explained, the lever 204 is mounted oscillating on an axis 205, integral with the main flange 61. During each operation of the machine, the two cams 211 and 212, Fig. 16 and-18, operate. 'Via cam lever 207 and connecting rod 206, rotating lever' 204 first clockwise, from its rest or normal position, and then back. anti-clockwise, beyond this rest position, and finally clockwise, to return it to its rest position.



   While the lever 204 performs these movements, the axis 203 of its lower end, moves towards the

  <Desc / Clms Page number 56>

 left, then to the right, and then back to the left, and tends to drive lever 345 in these directions.



  If the stud 346 at the lower end of the lever 343 is locked and cannot move in either direction, the axis 203, oscillates the lever 343 around the axis 346, and the stud 344 the upper end of the lever 343 being in contact with the surfaces 345 and 359 of the part 336, this part 336 and the slide 321 move to the left and to the right. However, if the part 336 has previously been moved to the left, and if its posterior end has fallen in front of the stud 337, this control movement of the lever 343 does not cause any additional displacement of the part 336.



   If the stud 346 at the lower end of the lever 343 can move freely, the axis 203, by making these movements to the left and to the right, operates the lever 343 empty, without imparting any movement of movement. at room 336.



   The movement of the pin 346 is blocked by the control sector 363, the position of which is fixed by the differential operating mechanism, and by the control sector 347, the position of which is fixed by the commando cursor 72.



   As has already been explained, the control sector 363 is coupled to the control sector 320, by an axis 364, and moves with it when the latter is brought into position by the shaft 221 by means of the coupling rod 224, between the control sector 219 and the sector 220, the control sector 363 comprises a curved portion 368 which can be located opposite the pin 346, so as to block its movement to the left, and to

  <Desc / Clms Page number 57>

 causing the slide 336 to move by the stud 344 to the left, and thereby bring the article totalizer in front of the toothed drive sector 123.

   In the illustrated embodiment, portion 368 is in front of stud 346, when one of the item to be debited, itemized, cash item, partial total or item selection selection keys is lowered. .



   A control sector 347 is pinned to the shaft 298 which receives a differential position by the commando slider 72. A cut portion of this commando sector forms a curved surface 370 which blocks the movement of the pin 346 to the right, 'in all positions of the control sector, and also forms a control surface 376 which prevents leftward movement of the pin 346 when the control slider 73,' is in the add position. .



   The spring 349 which is attached to the arm 348 is also attached to the lever 343, and tends to rotate this lever 343 counterclockwise, to normally maintain the stud 346 in elastic contact. with the control surface 370 of the sector 347.



   The movement of the totalizers selectively bringing the article totalizer or the group totalizer, opposite the toothed drive sectors 123, is therefore controlled at the same time by the control cursor 72, and the operation keys 83, according to the nature of the operation being carried out.



   The way therefore these commands are coordinated with other commands, during the various standard operations of the machine, will be explained later.

  <Desc / Clms Page number 58>

 



  Operation.



   The coordination of the functioning of the selection mechanism and of the triggering mechanism of the totalisers is easy to understand, from the summary description of the effect produced by these commands, on these mechanisms, during the different types of operation of the machine.



  Cash register.



   When it is desired to operate the machine as a cash register, the control cursor 72, FIG.



  1 and 9, in its recording position. As long as the cursor remains in this position, the machine can be operated to perform various operations under the control of the operation keys 83; These glue control the appropriate selection of the totalisers and their engagement during these machine operations. The controls which operate during these operations and which are actuated by the various operation keys will now be described.



    One-item protant cash transaction.



   When the machine is running, with the Co count key or ninth key of the row of op- erations sticks lowered, the operating differential brings the raised portion of the control sector 219, Fig. 21, opposite the pin 355 of the arm. 348 and the commando surface 368, Fig. 18, of the command sector 363 below the stud 346, so that during the first clockwise movement of the lever 204, the shift lever ment 343 works :; it empties and allows the group totalizer to remain facing the toothed drive sectors.



   A raised portion of the lower control surface of control sector 219, Fig. 14, faces the

  <Desc / Clms Page number 59>

 stud 218 and the control sector 220 has come below stud 218. These movements do not block the movement of stud 218 during the first clockwise movement of lever 204, but block movement. of this stud 218 when it has returned to the position of Fig. 14, during the counterclockwise movement of the lever 204,

   then move the control rod 197 to the left so as to couple this rod 197 with the cam lever 287 during the second movement of the cam lever and to engage the group totalizer with the drive sectors during their return strokes.



   Consequently, during the operations during which the count key is lowered, the group totalizer remains in front of the drive sectors and engages with them at the time of addition to record the recorded amount. on the keys.



  Single item credit transaction.



  * In the embodiment of the machine of Figs.



  9 and 14, only cash items are recorded in the group totalizer.



   When it comes to recording a single item credit transaction, the item amount is printed 'and appears on the indicators, but not recorded' in the group totalizer. , since the debit amounts should not be part of the running total that accumulates in the group totalizer.



   The machine working with the \. With the flow key (or eighth key in the row of operation keys) pressed, the operation differential mechanism brings a raised portion of sector 219 in front of pin 355 and surface 368 of sector 363 below the stud

  <Desc / Clms Page number 60>

 346, so that during the first clockwise movement of lever 204, displacement lever 343 operates idle and the group totalizer remains opposite the toothed drive sectors.



   A lowered portion of sector 219 was in front of stud 218 and section 220 came below this stud. The projection 306 of the auxiliary transmission member 304 is opposite the stud 218, but this member can oscillate freely in a counterclockwise direction. While lever 204 swings clockwise and counterclockwise, movement of stud 218 is blocked neither in either direction and connecting rod 197 is not mated with cam lever. 387 to be actuated by him and to engage the totalizer with the toothed drive sectors.



   During this operation, although the group totalizer has been chosen to engage with the toothed drive sectors ;, it does not engage with them and no amount is recorded there.



  One-item receipt operation on account.



   The amounts received on account are cash amounts and also accumulate in the group totalizer.



   With the machine operating with the necus key, or seventh key Ae in the row of operations keys, lowered the differential operating mechanism brought the raised pert ons of sector 219 in front of the studs 355 and 218 and the operating surfaces. controls sectors 220 and 363 respectively below studs 218 and 346.



  While lever 204 is swinging, travel lever 343 operates idle and the group totalizer remains on.

  <Desc / Clms Page number 61>

 face of the toothed drive sectors.



   While lever 204 swings clockwise, the leftward movement of stud 218 is not blocked, but when this lever swings counterclockwise, movement of stud 218 to the right is blocked by the raised portion of the sector 219 and the connecting rod 197 mates with the cam lever 387 during the second movement of this stud, so as to cause the engagement of the group totalizer with the toothed sectors of training during their rotational movement to make an additive recording.



  Cancellation and payment operation relating to a single item.



   In the case of an operation in which the cancellation An and payment Pa keys, which occupy the fifth and sixth positions in the row of operation keys, respectively, are lowered, sector 219 comes to positions 5. and 6 in which raised portions of the upper control surface face stud 355 and lowered portions facing stud 218. Sectors 220 and 363 come below studs 218 and 346, respectively. reverse clockwise direction of the organ. auxiliary drive 304 is not blocked, so that its projection 306 does not block the rightward movement of stud 218.



   During the first movement of the lever 204 in the direction of clockwise and in the opposite direction, the displacement lever 343 and the lever 202 operate without load and do not cause either the movement of the totalisers or their engagement with the toothed drive sectors.



   No amount is recorded in the totalizers

  <Desc / Clms Page number 62>

 during either of these operations.



  Selection operation involving several articles.



   When it comes to registering in the machine the various items of an operation relating to multiple items, the item selection key Sa, or fourth key of the row of operation keys, is lowered.



  As has already been explained ', this selection key remains lowered by registering all the articles of an operation involving multiple articles, until the Stc selection key of the articles is lowered for the cash total or the Std key for the credit total, During the first operation in which the article selection mouth Sa is lowered, the differential operation mechanism brings point "4" of sector 291 to training position;

  , does not bring any locking portion of the respective sectors 220 and 363 in front of the stud 218 and brings a portion of the control surface 568 forward of the stud 346.



   When the point "4" of the top control surface + of the sector 219 is opposite the stud 355, FIG.



  21, a lowered portion of this surface allows the arm 348 to drop as the article totalizer is brought in front of the toothed drive sectors and the totalizer to remain in this displaced position, because the stud 337 is in contact with the posterior edge of part 336.



   The downward movement of the arm 348 brings the pin 378 of this arm forward of a surface 374 of an arm 377 wedged on the shaft 298 which, as can be remembered ;, rotated under the action of the cursor 72. The position of the arm 377 in Fig. 18 corresponds to the "recording" position E of the

  <Desc / Clms Page number 63>

 cursor 72.

   As a result, with the stud 378 in front of the surface 374, the cursor 72 is locked until either the item selection key Stc for the cash total or the Std key for the cash total is depressed. the total on credit to return the item totalizer to zero, then arm 348 returns to its normal position by moving stud 378 out of the path of movement of arm 377,
The control surface 368 of the sector 363 faces the stud 346 so that during the initial clockwise movement of the lever 204, the lever 343 oscillates about the axis 346 and the stud 344 where the upper end of the lever 343 comes into contact with the:

   surface 345 of the workpiece 336 by advancing it and oscillating the shaft 331 counterclockwise, so as to advance the slider 321 which is coupled to it and to bring the article totalizer in front of the sectors toothed drive. As part 336 comes forward, it passes stud 337 and falls in front of this stud, so as to lock the totalizer in the position it came in. When part 336 fell forward from Stud .337, the surface 369 of this piece fell below the path of movement of stud 344 and the backward movement of that stud during counterclockwise movement. 'a watch lever 204 exerts no action on the part 336.



   During the initial clockwise movement of lever 204, the leftward movement of stud 218 is not blocked and connecting rod 197 does not mate with cam lever 387. But, during the counterclockwise movement of lever 204, a raised portion of the control surface

  <Desc / Clms Page number 64>

 lower part of segment 219 blocks the movement of the pin 218 to the right and causes the displacement to the left of the connecting rod 197 which couples with the lever It cane 387 during its second movement, thus causing the engagement of the item totalizer with the toothed drive sectors during their movement back to their normal position, to allow an additive recording to be made in the item totalizer.



   The counterclockwise movement of the shaft 331 prevents the triggering device of the article selection key Sa from functioning and this key is held in its lowered position until an operation is performed. wherein the shaft 331 swings clockwise, so long as the item key remains down during the entire multi item registration operation,

   the various control segments remain in the positions to which they were brought and exert the same commando in each of the recording operations allowing the total amount of the multiple items to be accumulated.



   The Sa item selection key is lowered in all transactions involving multiple items, whether they are credit or cash transactions.



  Partial totalization operation involving multiple items.



     After carrying out 'the multiple item registration operations, the partial totalization Tp key or third key of the row of operation keys can be depressed to command an operation in which a partial total of the amount recorded'. on the item totalizer is removed from this totalizer and serves to control the indicating and printing devices, so

  <Desc / Clms Page number 65>

 to record and print the amount, then is re-recorded on the item totalizer, so that additional amounts can be added.



   With the machine operating with the partial totalizing Tp key down, sectors 219, 220 and 363 move from position 4 to position 3. A lowered portion of the upper control surface of sector 219 is still found. opposite the stud 355 and allows the arm 348 and the part 336 to remain in their lower positions so as to keep the article totalizer in front of the toothed drive sectors 123. The control surface 368 of the sector 363 comes again opposite the stud 346 of the lever 343.

   As the lever 204 rotates clockwise and counterclockwise, it rotates the lever 343 around the axis 346, but since the article totalizer has already been brought opposite the toothed sectors. drive, these movements of the lever 343 are only idle movements.



   A raised portion of the lower control surface of sector 219 faces stud 218 and sector 220 comes into a relative locking position with stud 218. During the initial clockwise movement of the machine. lever 204, the sector 220 blocks the leftward movement of the stud 218 and causes the rightward movement of the connecting rod 197, so as to couple this connecting rod with the cam lever 387 - to make it operate during the first movement of this lever.

   This movement of the control rod 19'7 causes the article totalizer to engage with the toothed drive sectors during the movement of these sectors from the rest position, so as to eliminate the amount of

  <Desc / Clms Page number 66>

 
 EMI66.1
 totalizer of the articles and causes the totalizer of the articles and the toothed drive sectors to be separated when these have 11, i #: ine the amount of the totalizer:; t have controlled their movement from their resting position.



  When the lever 204 recoti its movement in direction

  Consequently, during the operation of partial totalizing, the totalizer of the articles remains one face of the suckers whose entrafnemount is and is taken with them during their movements moving them away and bringing them closer to their rest position. .



  Operation of selection of articles for the cash total, relating to several articles.



   If the amounts of a transaction involving

  The L-chîrc working with the Stc item selection key for the cash total lowered, a portion on: El # v <fe of the upper control surface of the

  <Desc / Clms Page number 67>

 sector 219 faces stud 355, which raises arm 348 and part 336 so as to disengage this part from its relative blocking position with stud 337.

   A lowered portion of the lower control surface of actuator 219 faces stud 218, while the lowered portion of the control surface of segment 219 faces stud 218, and does not block the movement of this stud, the stud 411 of sector 219 has come opposite the surface 412 of the upper end of the auxiliary control member 304 and prevents the counterclockwise movement of a watch of ceorgane, so that the projection 306 of this member blocks the movement of the stud 21.8 and exerts the same action as if a raised portion of the sector 219 were in this position.



   Los control sectors 220 and 363 are brought into relative locking position with their respective studs 218 and 346.



   During the first clockwise movement of lever 204, movement of studs 346 and 218 is. blocked. The locking of the axis 346 causes the lever 343 to rotate about this axis but, since the article totalizer is always in front of the toothed insertion sectors, this movement of the lever 343 is an idle movement. Locking stud 218 causes the control rod 197 to engage with cam lever 387 so as to move it and thereby engage the item totalizer with the toothed drive sectors before they no. move away from their home position and trigger the article totalizer of the drive sectors when these have finished their movement from their home position and have removed the post from the article totalizer.

 on 61ov6o of sector 219 with pin 355 of arm 548, the clockwise movement of lever 343 around axis 346 while lever 204 rotates counterclockwise,

     allows the stud 34 to come into contact with the surface 369 of the part 336 and this part to move backwards so as to make the shaft 331 oscillate clockwise and bring the group totalizer we are facing training areas.

   Operation of selection of articles for the credit total, relating to several articles.



   Multiple items of cash ot credit transactions are recorded with the item selection tcucho Sa lowered, but when these items are part of a credit transaction, the item selection Std key for credit total must be lowered to obtain the total of these items. When using the control devices of Figs. 9 and 14, the machine is not intended to incorporate credit amounts into the running total.



   After entering the amounts of a credit transaction involving multiple items in the item totalizer, the item selection Std key is lowered for the credit total. The sectors 219, 220 and 363 control the movement of the movement of the totalizers, once the total has been eliminated from the totalizer of the articles and cause the engagement of the totalizer of the articles with the toothed drive sectors before the latter are released. move away from their home position so that movement of the toothed drive sectors from their home position can eliminate the item totalizer total. These operations are the same as in the spot aggregation operation described above.

   But in the operation of total-. ization on credit, the stud 411 of segment 219 does not block the counterclockwise movement of the auxiliary controller 304 and the projection 506 of this member does not block the movement of the stud 218 and does not cause - than the engagement of the group totalizer with the toothed drive sectors causing their return movement to their rest position.

 so as to bring the sector 347 in a position such that the indented portion on the left side of its control surface is not in the relative locking position with the pin 346 of the displacement lever 343. When the lever 204 receives its first movement clockwise the stud 346 is not locked and can move freely by allowing the displacement lever 343 to swing idle about the axis 344 and this idle movement allows the totali - group leader to stay in front of the toothed training sectors.



   When the shaft 298 receives its movement from the control slider 72, the projections 302 and 301 of the sector 294 are brought by the arm 297, through the window 296 and the stud 295, in a relative locking position with the stud 218. When lever 204 makes its first clockwise movement, stud 218 is locked by projection 302 and lever 197 is coupled with cam lever 387 which operates it. so as to cause the engagement before they turn clockwise, thus allowing said toothed drive sectors to eliminate the total of the totalizer and to fix the position of the printing devices and indicator according to the amount of the total.



  When the drive tooth sectors have been brought into their position under the control of the group totalizer and have eliminated the total, the group totalizer is triggered from these drive toothed sectors. During the counterclockwise movement of the lever 204, the stud 218 blocks the protrusion 301 of the sector 294 and causes the connecting rod 197 to couple with the cam lever 387 which operates it. so as to re-engage the totalizer

  Once the total has been eliminated from the totalizer, it is separated from the toothed drive sectors.



   During counterclockwise movement of lever 204, movement of stud 218 is not blocked and control rod 197 is not mated to cam lever 387. As a result, the totalizer group does not engage with the toothed drive sectors during their return movement to their rest position and remains in its zero position.



  Addition.



   When it is desired to use the machine as a normal adding machine, the control cursor 72 is moved to its add position. (D) Under these conditions, the machine can be operated to perform operation operations. addition, so as to accumulate the amounts recorded on the amount keys, as well as to hold partial and general totals of the accumulated amounts. In all. machine operations operating as an adding machine, the item totalizer is used and the totals recorded there are not transmitted to the group totalizer which contains the total of the amounts forming part of the operations recorded while the machine is used as a cash register.

  <Desc / Clms Page number 75>

 shaft 298 regulates the position of sector 294 and auxiliary controller 304 through the window
296 and the stud 295, so as to bring the projection 305 of the member 304 opposite the stud 218.

   The movement of the auxiliary actuator 304 in this position brings the control surface 412 in front of the pin 411 of the sector 219, which remains in its zero position and the movement in the reverse direction counterclockwise. watch of the member 304 about its axis 303 is thus prevented by allowing the projection 305 to block the rightward movement of the stud 218.



   When lever 204 receives its first clockwise movement, stud 346 is locked by control surface 376 and shift lever 343 rotates counterclockwise around the clockwise direction. axis 346 by bringing pin 344 into contact with surface 345 of part 336 and moving this part to the left so as to bring the article totalizer in front of the toothed drive sectors. As part 366 moves to the left, it falls forward of stud 337 and surface 369 comes to lie below the path of movement of stud 344 when travel lever 343 receives its first movement in the direction. clockwise around axis 546 during the counterclockwise movement of lever 204.

   The article totalizer can thus remain in the position in which it came and is retained until an operation is carried out to eliminate the total of this article totalizer.



   Stud 218 is not locked during the first clockwise movement of the lever
204 and the control rod 197 is not mated with the

   During the counterclockwise movement of lever 204, movement of stud 218 to the right is blocked by the projection 305 of the auxiliary controller 304er causing the coupling rod to engage. 197 with the cam lever 387 which makes it operative and consequently the engagement of the totalizer with the toothed drive sectors during their return movement towards their rest position in order to register there in the additive direction the recorded amount 'on the keys of the clawi @ 2.



    Recording of subtotals.



   When you want to check the total recorded in the totalizer of the articles in order to be able to add other amounts to it, you lower the Tp key of the partial totals or third key of the row of the keys of the operations.



  The differential operation mechanism brings sectors 219, 220 and 363 into their third position in which a lowered portion of sector 219 faces stud 355 and a raised portion faces stud 218, sectors 220 and 363 being in front of stud 355. relative locking position with studs 218 and 346 respectively.

   When the sector 219 leaves its zero position, its stud 411 ceases to be in contact with the control surface of the upper end of the auxiliary control member 304 and causes this member 304 to turn counterclockwise. 'a watch around its axis 303, so that the projection 305 does not. no longer blocks the movement of stud 218; but, at this point, the

  <Desc / Clms Page number 77>

 The raised control portion of the sector 219 is in a relative locking position with the stud 218.



   Since the article totalizer is in front of the toothed drive sectors and the workpiece 336 is in its lower position, movement of the displacement lever 343 around the axis 346 during the clockwise movements. 'a clock and in the opposite direction of the lever 204 ost an empty movement and the item totalizer remains in this position,
During the first clockwise movement of lever 204, sector 220 blocks movement of stud 218 and causes connecting rod 197 to engage with cam lever 387, which operates it.

  and consequently the engagement of the article totalizer with the toothed drive sectors before the latter rotate clockwise away from their rest position. These toothed sectors eliminate the total from the totalizer during their clockwise movement and bring the printing and indicator mechanisms to a position corresponding to this total.



  When the toothed drive sectors have completed their movement in a clockwise direction, the totalizer is triggered.



   As lever 204 turns counterclockwise, stud 218 is locked by the elevated control portion of sector 219 and causes connecting rod 197 to engage cam lever 387 and consequently the reset of the totalizer with the drive tooth sectors before their counterclockwise return movement to their rest position. The counterclockwise movement of a

  <Desc / Clms Page number 78>

 showing these toothed sectors restores the total in the totalizer.



   Totals recording operation.



   When you wish to check the total recorded on the item totalizer and eliminate it, lower the Stc key for totaling cash items or the Std key for totaling credit items, which are respectively the second and the first of row of operation keys. The commands exerted by these keys are identical, so that they are easily understood from the description of the commands exerted when one of these keys is lowered.



   With the machine operating with the cash item totalising Stc key down, a lower portion of the lower control surface of control sector 219 faces stud 218 and a raised portion of its upper control surface comes to the fore. -under stud 3559 so as to raise arm 348 and part 336 and to reset the item totalizer to move from its position opposite the drive sectors. The control surfaces of sectors 220 and 363 are also placed in a relative position of

    locking with the respective studs 218 and 348.



   As has already been explained ', when the machine is used as an adding machine, the stud 411 prevents the counterclockwise movement of the auxiliary control member 3p4 as long as the sector 219 is in its position. zero position. When the sector 219 moves away from its zero position under the command of the Stc key for totalizing cash items, the pin 411 ceases to be in contact with the member 304 and no longer prevents its

  <Desc / Clms Page number 79>

 anti-clockwise movement,
The initial clockwise movement of lever 204 rotates movement lever 343 about its axis 346 which is blocked by surface 376.

   This movement is an empty movement, because the article totalizer has previously been brought into a position opposite the toothed drive sectors.



   When the lever 204 receives its initial clockwise movement, the stud 218 is blocked by the sector 220 and causes the connecting rod 197 to engage the cam lever 387 which operates it and hence the coupling. engagement of the article totalizer with the toothed drive sectors before the latter move clockwise from their rest position. These toothed sectors eliminate the totalizer during their clockwise movement and adjust the position of the printing and indicator mechanisms accordingly. When the toothed drive sectors have finished their movement in the direction of the needles of a watch, the totalizer is triggered.



   During the movement in reverse. clockwise of lever 204, displacement lever 343 rotates clockwise around axis 346 and brings stud 344 into contact with surface 369 of workpiece 336 by moving that workpiece to the right so as to bring the article totalizer out of its operating position and the group totalizer in front of the toothed drive sectors. When lever 204 performs this counterclockwise movement, stud 218 is not locked, due to the presence of the lowered control surface of sector 219 and

  <Desc / Clms Page number 80>

 of the oscillating movement of the auxiliary actuator 304 about the axis 303 and the connecting rod 197 is not coupled with the cam lever 387.

   Consequently, the group totalizer does not switch on when the toothed drive sectors return anti-clockwise to their rest position.



     At the end of this operation, the item totalizer has been cleared of the total and is in its zero position.



   Of course, the invention should not be regarded as limited to the embodiment shown and described, which has been chosen only by way of example.
