Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Abänderungen an der Zahlkasse des Hauptpatentes, wodurch die dort einzeln ausgestoßenen Kontrollmarken durch im Kässengehäuse sichtbar verschiebbare Zahlenstreifen ersetzt, diese letzteren durch Tastendruck in sicherer Weise stets nur um eine Zahl verschoben und beim Öffnen der Tür des Kassengehäuses selbsttätig ausgelöst werden können, so daß sie in ihre Anfangsstellung herabfallen. · .The present invention relates to modifications to the cash register of the main patent, whereby the individually ejected control marks through in the cheese case Visibly movable number strips replaced, the latter by pressing a button in safely only shifted by one number and when opening the door of the cash register housing can be triggered automatically so that they fall down into their initial position. ·.

Da bei einer größeren Anzahl von Zahlbrettern das Schließen der Gehäusetür entgegen dem Gesamtdruck der unter Federwirkung stehenden Zahlbretter schwer zu bewerkstelligen ist, wird ein leicht zu bedienender Hakenverschluß mit einer Sperrvorrichtung vorgesehen, welche durch den zum Öffnen der Tür und zur Herausnahme der Zahlbretter Befugten mittels eines Schlüssels ausgelöst werden kann.Since with a larger number of number boards the closing of the housing door counteracts difficult to manage due to the total pressure of the number boards under spring action is, an easy-to-use hook fastener with a locking device is provided, which by the to open the door and to remove the payment boards authorized persons can be triggered by means of a key.

Die Einstellung eines Zahlbrettes kann sowohl durch den betreffenden Aufwärter mittels seines Stechschlüssels als auch seitens des Kassierers mit Hilfe eines entsprechend bezeichneten Stechschlüssels erfolgen, wobei durch das eingestellte Zahlbrett einerseits eine die Bewegung der Tasten verhindernde Hemmvorrichtung in ihre unwirksame Stellung gebracht wird und andererseits eine die Einstellung der dem Zahlplatz entsprechenden Kontrollzahl veranlassende Anzeigevorrichtung angetrieben wird.The hiring of a number board can be done both by the attendant concerned by means of his key and on the part of the cashier with the help of a corresponding one designated mortise wrench, with the set number board on the one hand an inhibitor preventing the movement of the keys in their inoperative position is brought and on the other hand, the setting of the corresponding to the pay station Control number initiating display device is driven.

In den Zeichnungen ist die Zahlkasse in Fig. ι in einem Vertikalquerschnitt, in Fig. 2 in Draufsicht und teilweisem Schnitt und in Fig. 3 in Vorderansicht teilweise geschnitten dargestellt. Fig. 4 zeigt die Auslösevorrichtung für die Zahlenstreifen, und die Fig. 5 und 6 sind Schnitte nach den Linien A-B und C-D in Fig. 2.In the drawings, the cash register is shown in Fig. Ι in a vertical cross-section, in Fig. 2 in a plan view and partial section and in Fig. 3 in a front view partially cut. FIG. 4 shows the release device for the number strips, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are sections along the lines AB and CD in FIG.

Das zur Aufnahme der Zahlbretter 6 dienende Gehäuse 4 trägt einen aus zwei Glasplatten gebildeten Aufsatz 65 (-Fig. 1 und 3). Zwischen den über die ganze Kassenbreite sich erstreckenden Glasplatten ist ein enger Raum für eine Reihe von nebeneinander angeordneten Zahlenstreifen 66 vorhanden, welche auf ihren beiden durch die Glaswände hindurch sichtbaren Flächen die Ziffern der natürlichen Zahlenreihe und die Bezeichnung der Speise, des Getränkes oder der Warengattung tragen. Jeder der Zahlenstreifen, welche vor Bedienung der Tasten in dem Kassengehäuse so tief stehen, daß die Ziffern verdeckt sind, kann in seiner Führung 67 (Fig. 1) bei jedesmaligem Niederdrücken der zugehörigen Taste um eineThe housing 4, which is used to hold the number boards 6, carries one of two Glass plates formed essay 65 (-Fig. 1 and 3). Between them across the entire width of the till extending glass panels is a narrow space for a row of side by side arranged number strips 66 available, which on their two surfaces visible through the glass walls Digits of the natural series of numbers and the name of the food, drink or of the type of goods. Each of the number strips, which before pressing the buttons in the cash register housing stand so low that the digits are covered, can in its leadership 67 (Fig. 1) each time the associated key is depressed by one

Ziffer emporgeschoben und in dieser Stellung bis zum nächsten Tastenanschlag bezw. bis zur Auslösung festgehalten werden.Number pushed up and in this position until the next keystroke respectively. until to be held for release.

Diese ruckweise Bewegung der Zahlenstreifen wird durch ein von den Tasten 29 beeinflußtes Hebelwerk veranlaßt. Dasselbe besteht für jeden Zahlenstreifen 66 aus einem im Gehäuseoberteil drehbar gelagerten Hebel68 (Fig. 1), dessen eines Ende mit einer vertikal geführten Stange 69 gelenkig verbunden ist, die oben ein frei drehbares, durch sein Übergewicht stets an den Zahlenstreifen sich anlegendes, klinkenartiges Hemmplättchen 70 trägt. Das andere Hebelende steht unter der Einwirkung eines an der Taste angebrachten Ansatzes Ji. This jerky movement of the number strips is caused by a lever mechanism influenced by the buttons 29. The same for each number strip 66 consists of a lever 68 rotatably mounted in the upper part of the housing (Fig. 1), one end of which is articulated to a vertically guided rod 69, the top of which is a freely rotatable, pawl-like locking plate that is always in contact with the number strip due to its excess weight 70 carries. The other end of the lever is under the action of a shoulder Ji attached to the key.

An den Zahlenstreifen sind in den Ziffern derselben entsprechenden Abständen Vorsprünge 72 angebracht und zwischen je zwei solche Vorsprünge fällt beim Niederdrücken der Taste und dem dadurch bewirkten Heben der Stange 69 deren Hemmplättchen 70 ein, sobald es über die Oberkante der rückwärtigen Wand der Führung 67 hinausgelangt ist. Der mittels des Hemmplättchens um ein bestimmtes, nur je einer Ziffer entsprechendes Maß gehobene Zahlenstreifen 66 hängt sich mit einem seiner Vorsprünge auf eine nachgiebig gelagerte Rückhaltklinke 73 und verbleibt in der gehobenen Stellung, wenn auch nach Loslassen der Taste das Hebelwerk in seine ursprüngliche Stellung zurückkehrt, bei welcher das Hemmplättchen 70 außer Eingriff mit dem Zahlenstreifen 66 ist.On the number strips there are projections in the numbers of the same corresponding distances 72 attached and between two such projections falls when the button is depressed and the lifting caused by it the rod 69 whose locking plate 70 as soon as it is over the upper edge of the rear Wall of the guide 67 has come out. The by means of the inhibitor plate by a certain, only one digit corresponding Number strips 66 raised to measure hang with one of its projections on a resiliently mounted retaining pawl 73 and remains in the raised position, even if the lever mechanism is in its original position after the button is released returns with the retardation plate 70 out of engagement with the number strip 66 is.

Die Auslösevorrichtung, welche bei Öffnen der Tür 5 des Kassengehäuses in Tätigkeit tritt und das Abfallen sämtlicher gehobenen Zahlenstreifen veranlaßt, besteht aus einem an einer Seitenwand des Gehäuseoberteiles drehbaren Winkelhebel 74 (Fig. 1 und 4), dessen aufwärts gerichteter Arm auf das Verbindungsstück. 75 der Rückhaltklinkendrehachse 76 und der Führungsstange JJ dieser Klinken einzuwirken vermag, während sein wagerecht gegen die Tastenreihen vorstehender Arm durch einen im Gehäuse beiderseits drehbaren und unter dem Druck einer Feder 78 stehenden Bügel 79 beeinflußt wird. Beim Niederdrücken irgend einer Taste wird der Bügel 79 herabgedrückt und dadurch aus dem Bereich des wagerechten Armes des Winkelhebels 74 gebracht, welch letzterer, da er bei 81 in starrer Verbindung mit einer an der Gehäusewand um den Zapfen 80 drehbaren Stellstange 82 steht, unter dem Druck der Klinkenführungsstange JJ zurückgeschwenkt wird, wodurch die an der Führungsstange lose hängenden Rückhaltklinken J$ in ihre wirksame Stellung vorfallen können.The triggering device, which comes into action when the door 5 of the cash register housing is opened and causes all the raised number strips to fall off, consists of an angle lever 74 (FIGS. 1 and 4) rotatable on a side wall of the upper housing part, the arm of which is directed upwards onto the connecting piece. 75 of the retaining pawl rotation axis 76 and the guide rod JJ of these pawls can act, while its arm, which protrudes horizontally against the rows of keys, is influenced by a bracket 79 which is rotatable on both sides in the housing and is under the pressure of a spring 78. When pressing any key, the bracket 79 is pressed down and thereby brought out of the area of the horizontal arm of the angle lever 74, the latter under pressure, since it is rigidly connected at 81 to an adjusting rod 82 rotatable about the pin 80 on the housing wall the pawl guide rod JJ is pivoted back, whereby the retaining pawls J $ hanging loosely on the guide rod can protrude into their operative position.

Auf den unteren Arm der Stellstange 82 wirkt nach Öffnen der Tür beim Herausziehen eines Zahlbrettes ein Haken 83 ein, welcher an dem drehbaren und durch die unter Federdruck sich verschiebenden Zahlbretter herausgeschwenkten Flügel 42 vorragt. Dieser Haken 83 umgreift bei seiner Schwenkung die Stellstange 82 und verdreht sie, wodurch der Winkelhebel 74 gegen das Verbindungsstück 75 gedrückt und die Führungsstange JJ samt den Rückhaltklinken 73 aus dem Bereich der Zahlenstreifenvorsprünge 72 gebracht wird, während der federnd drehbbare Bügel 79 wieder in seine Anfangslage emporgeht.After the door is opened and a number board is pulled out, a hook 83 acts on the lower arm of the control rod 82, which hook protrudes from the rotatable wing 42, which is pivoted out by the number boards shifting under spring pressure. This hook 83 engages around the control rod 82 when it pivots and rotates it, whereby the angle lever 74 is pressed against the connecting piece 75 and the guide rod JJ together with the retaining pawls 73 is brought out of the area of the number strip projections 72, while the resiliently rotatable bracket 79 is returned to its initial position goes up.

Die Sperrung der Tasten erfolgt durch zwei parallele gegen- und auseinander bewegbare Metallstreifen 84 (Fig. 1 und 2), die unterhalb der unteren Tastenenden in deren Bewegungsbahn angeordnet sind, für gewöhnlich deren Verstellung verhindern, bei Einstellung eines Zahlbrettes in die zur Benutzung geeignete Lage jedoch durch einen mit dem durch das Zahlbrett verstellten Flügel 42 drehbaren Daumen 85 aus dem Bereich der Tasten gebracht werden, indem dieser Daumen auf einen unter Federzug stehenden, an die Metallstreifen 84 angelenkten Hebel 86 drückt und diesen verstellt. The keys are blocked by two parallel, mutually movable, one against the other Metal strips 84 (Figs. 1 and 2) below the lower key ends in their Movement path are arranged, usually prevent their adjustment, when setting a number board in the for use suitable position, however, by one with the one adjusted by the number board Wing 42 rotatable thumb 85 can be brought out of the range of the keys by this thumb on a spring tension standing, hinged to the metal strips 84 lever 86 presses and adjusts this.

Die Einstellung eines der in das Kassengehäuse eingeschobenen Zahlbretter in die für die Markierung erforderliche Lage kann mit Hilfe eines in der Gehäusetür untergebrachten Stellwerks von zwei Seiten aus geschehen, und zwar in beiden Fällen mittels eines Stechschlüssels, der entweder vom Kassierer an der Rückseite oder vom Aufwärter an der Vorderseite der Kasse eingesteckt werden kann.The setting of one of the payment boards inserted in the cash register housing into the The position required for the marking can be accommodated in the housing door with the help of a Interlocking done from two sides, in both cases by means of a key, either from the cashier at the back or from the attendant can be plugged into the front of the cash register.

Dieses Stellwerk besteht für jedes Zahlbrett aus einem innerhalb einer Ausnehmung der Tür wagerecht drehbaren Hebel 87 (Fig. 2), der mit einem Haken 88 versehen ist und an dem einen Ende einen nach innen vorstehenden Stift 89 trägt, auf welchen das eingeschobene" Zahlbrett zufolge der auf letzteres wirkenden Federn beständig drückt, sobald die Tür des Kassengehäuses geschlossen ist. Das andere Hebelende trägt einen federnd verschiebbaren Stift 90, welcher durch ein Loch einer schwenkbaren Stellplatte 91 hindurchragt und für gewöhnlich an einem Anschlag 92 sich stützt, so daß das Zahlbrett durch den Hebel ganz eingeschoben erhalten wird. Die Stellplatte 91 kann auf zweifache Weise zu einer Verschwenkung gegen den Hebeldrehpunkt hin veranlaßt werden ,■ wobei der mittels eines Vorsteckers an der Stellplatte gehaltene Hebelstift 90 so weit einwärts geschoben wird,This interlocking consists of one inside a recess for each number board the door horizontally rotatable lever 87 (Fig. 2), which is provided with a hook 88 and at one end one inward protruding pin 89 carries, on which the inserted "counting board according to the the latter acting springs constantly pushes as soon as the door of the cash register housing is closed is. The other end of the lever carries a resiliently displaceable pin 90 which passes through a hole in a pivotable setting plate 91 protrudes and is usually supported on a stop 92, so that the number board pushed in all the way through the lever is obtained. The setting plate 91 can pivot in two ways be caused against the fulcrum, ■ the held by means of a pin on the setting plate Lever pin 90 is pushed in as far as

Claims

that it slides from the stop 92 and therefore the adjusting lever 87 under the pressure the pay board is pivoted until the latter respectively. whose bumper rails 8 the correct position with respect to the key positioning rails 31 hold. This pivoting can be on the part the cashier by means of a key 93 (Fig. 2 and 5) with two different lengths Prongs are effected. The longer beveled prong ensures that the Key in the corresponding openings of the Door wall vorest a resilient locking plate 94 moved and thereby the keyhole cleared for the shorter prong up to the setting plate 91, so that the latter through this prong pivoted in the required manner and the adjusting lever 87 is triggered.

The attendant can also proceed using a similar key 93V which, however, is inserted on the opposite side of the door, here acts on a push rod 95 which is loosely rotatable on the adjusting lever axis of rotation Disc 96 and thereby one attached to the latter and articulated with the adjusting plate 91 connected tie rod 97 adjusted. In both cases, swiveling the control lever its hook 88 brought into the area of a manually operable release thumb 98 which is rotatably mounted in the door is and acts on the signal boxes of all number boards, so that through .eine Rotation of the thumb by means of the handle 99 any number board set can be pushed back into the inoperative position.

The display of which number board is set for the marking happens automatically when moving this number board through one that appears in the glass attachment 65, Paying place number visible on both sides with the help of the following device.

A vertical rod 101, which is toothed near the upper end and engages in a drive 100 (P ¹ S- 3), is freely slidably arranged within the housing 4 near the rear, spring-loaded ends of the number boards. This rod carries laterally lugs 102, on which one-armed levers 103 rotatably attached in the housing rest from below and are held in this position on the one hand by extensions 104 of the fully inserted number boards and on the other hand by manually adjustable pins 105 equipped with leaf springs.

If a number board is set for the marking and the lever 103 is thereby released, and by pulling out the related adjusting pin 105, its spring arrives to act on this lever'103, so becomes the rack to a corresponding, determined by a limit stop 106 Raised part of the way and accordingly the drive 100 rotated more or less. .

A disk 107 is connected to this drive, on which the numbers of the Paying places are listed; by rotating the disc, the number in question comes behind an opening in the cash register housing and is visible to the attendant and the cashier.

By inserting the pulled out adjusting pin 105, the rack 101 falls as a result their own weight back to their original position and the dial 107 sets itself to zero.

To allow the cabinet door to close easily, even with a large number of number boards The door with the rotatable hook 108 is to enable and to be able to overcome the total pressure thereof without difficulty (Fig. 2 and 3) provided, which when a handle 109 is operated in a recess the housing wall and pull the door closed by an eccentric effect. Here a spring-loaded handle no into incisions of the hook eyes and fixes the hooks. To trigger this latch is a key in the possession of the person authorized to open the cash register, the is inserted through the keyhole in the door and its beard the back. pulling the lock bolt and at the same time lifting the pawl HO out of the hook, so that the latter can be lifted out of the recess in the housing wall by turning its handle and the Door can be opened easily with the help of the number boards pressing on it.

Instead of the serrated butt rails in the number boards, it is advantageous to use the same Cover plate 16 is used with a series of perforated rails 8, in which the slide 12 making the impressions (marks) in the invoice sheet intervene.
