DE2652251A1 - Mechanical data recording card - has array of manually rotatable data recording elements - Google Patents

Abstract

The mechanical data recording card (1) has an array of data recording elements (2), which can be rotated by hand to register respective data values. The card (1) may have two additional recording elements (3) at the top, used to register the date on which the data is recorded. Each element (2, 3) may comprise a disc, around which a series of numbers are printed and which is rotated relative to one or more indicator markings.

Description

M M E C H A N 1 5 C H A R B E 1 T E N D E 5 D A T E N - E R F A S S U N G S G E RÄ T "The invention relates to a mechanically operating device which data can be set. It's inexpensive, easy to read, like it in warehousing etc. with a large number of items in small businesses, e.g.

Hairdressing, is necessary.

It is known that large corporations are using the task of warehousing cope with electronic devices, computers, etc. However, this is very expensive and unprofitable for small businesses. In addition, these systems require maintenance, susceptible to repair and do not work efficiently with smaller quantities, i.e. to expensive. Another disadvantage of electronically operating systems is that these are mostly permanently installed, with short-term redeployment different ones Goods in the warehouse have to be reinstalled or regrouped.

It is also customary to check the numbers of incoming and outgoing items Goods to be recorded in written form, e.g. on index cards. When you order again (e.g.

Representative visit) is the task of quickly and precisely the Consumption (read off the movement in certain periods of time in order to determine the correct to order rational quantity. The data is recorded in writing extremely difficult in practice: aj through a large number of employees, b) through Negligence or lack of time (failure to enter goods withdrawals) or errors in reading etc.

In many cases, going to the warehouse and counting is time-consuming of the goods indispensable.

The invention is based on the object, the date of the order, Numbers of any number of articles or Division of an article into forms or Colors, such as those used, for example, in hair dyes in hairdressing shops come, set withdrawal numbers, sales targets, etc. mechanically and thus to have the opportunity to see these values at a glance, new orders to make timely and wrong decisions when ordering certain quantities turn off.

The mechanical adjustment should then be straightforward to carry out if goods are removed as part of other work. (e.g. hair coloring at the hairdresser, possibly with gloves). The invention is also intended to be of assistance for companies with one or more branches so that they can, at short notice, e.g. coordinate their orders over the phone.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that a basic element, which can be designed as a plate, carousel, disc or similar, at the storage location of the goods that are to be recorded in terms of data on the device, e.g. hung or set up will.

On this basic element are in a clear arrangement Setting elements with which time data, order quantities, sales target, Can be operated with a simple hand movement, so that the number of items removed etc. The inventory can be recorded at any time with a single glance.

The adjustment elements should be operated with a simple hand movement take place, as e.g. push-button, turntable, button etc. make it possible.

The invention is illustrated using two exemplary embodiments.

It shows: F i g u r 1 the schematic drawing of a complete, mechanical operated data acquisition device with the base element 1, here designed as a plate and the complete setting elements 2, as well as the setting elements 3, which are shown here serve to record time data.

F i g u r 2 and F i g u r 3 once in plan and once in section a complete setting element 2, which is mounted on the base element 1. The assembly is carried out in the order described below: The outer adjustment knob 4 is pressed with its webs 5 through the recess 6 of the scale button 7 (process A, Figure 4).

The webs 5 ensure the resilience when the cams 8 of the Place the adjustment knob 4 in the notch 9 on the top of the scale knob 7. There is an arrow marking 10 on the top of the setting knob 4 the marker tongue 11 with its recess 12 over the cylindrical lower part 13 of the scale button 7 pushed and at the same time lays itself in the grid 14 of the same (process B, FIG. 4).

Then the complete adjustment element at 15 is in the base plate 1 engaged.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the assembly process.

F i g u r 5 and F i g u r 6 once in cross section and once in top view another variant of an adjustment element.

Here, there are semicircular recesses 16 in the base plate 1, which have grids 17 on the underside, in which the marking tongues lo and 19 protrude. The same are by means of push button 20, which is also the pivot point forms, attached to the underside of the base element 1. The markings on the The top of the base plate 1 can be printed, as at 21, or clicked into place1 be like at 22.

Claims (12)

Patent claims: Mechanically working data acquisition device, thereby characterized in that on a base element (1) setting elements (2) (,) (18) (19) in Any number and arrangement can be operated with a simple movement of the hand and thus an exact overview of various data in any number at any time, e.g. Offer times, stocks, goods withdrawals, sales targets, etc. 2.)
