Closing the Contacts should be made by the seller of the cards or by independent institutions on the devices for printing or removing the cards. The device can be compiled for any number of issuing points and for any number of horses will. The counting and display device in the individual meters and in the main meter is the same. - The device adds up the drives that it generates for each Card withdrawals, regardless of the speed at which they follow one another, even if a large number of withdrawals are made at the same time. The invention also includes a number of special features attached to the main meter can be attached. Furthermore, a device is provided through which the the counting device can be accelerated so that it is with the highest loads Keeps pace.

A complete totalizer device according to the invention falls over a number of totalizers for the individual horses and a main counter, with which all the former devices are connected by translations stand. Each of the summing devices for a horse contains a number of ratchet wheels, those on the planetary axes of a series of planetary gears connected in series are appropriate, along with associated inhibitions. Each of the latter is supported by one Issue office of cards for the horse in question set in motion. The order is made in such a way that when the system is expanded with new issuing points additional ratchet wheels with escapements added to the counters in question without any other changes being necessary. The main counter contains a number of planetary gears connected in series, each of which is assigned to one of the individual counters for a particular horse and is incremented by him will. Here, too, the arrangement is such that without changing the other parts any number of further planetary gears can be added if the system is to be expanded for a larger field.

A resistor 21 (Fig.2), the contact arm 22 of which is controlled by the device described below, regulates the current for a drive motor 2o. If the arm 22 is on the first contact, the motor receives so much current that the armature rotates only slowly, but its speed increases rapidly when the arm comes to further contacts. The belt 23 that drives the pulley 2q. transmits on the shaft 25 of a toothed roller 26 is only weakly tensioned so that it can slide somewhat. A wheel 27 on the shaft 25 transmits its rotation to a wheel 28 which runs freely on its axis 29. The wheel 28 has on one side a spiral guide groove 3o (Fig. Io), the outermost area of which is widened towards the outside at 31. On the shaft 25 sits a gear 32 which is translated to a gear 34 by a gear 33 (Fig. 2; 3). The latter is connected .mit .dem a sun wheel 35 of a planetary gear and rotates with it freely on a shaft 41. The planetary gears of this planetary gear are seated on the inside of a drum 37 around which a cord 38 is wound. This seeks to rotate the drum under the "pull" of a weight 39. The other sun gear 4.o -this planetary gear sits firmly on the shaft q.1 and carries a toothed wheel 4.5 firmly connected to it, which engages in the toothed roller -26 . This device is referred to below as a “collector.” The traveling nut 4.4. is provided with a guide groove 4.6 into which a lever 4.7 with a roller 4: 6 engages During the rotation: the threaded roller 4.3 moves, the nut 4.4. And swivels the lever 47, this taking along the arm 22 of the regulator resistor 21 connected to it by a link .t8 furthermore a movable stop, shown in Figs befin It is in the area of a stop 52 at the upper end of a swingable lever 53 seated on a wedge 55. A leaf spring 54 tries to swing the arm 53 sideways, so that the carcass 52 is pulled away from under the tooth 51, and the While 25 move in the direction of the arrow (Fig. i2) can rotate. The Arna 53 can, however. do not swing out as long as an adjustable stop 56 on the shaft 55 rests on the side of the lever 4.7. Rotation of the shaft 25 is thus prevented by the stroke 52 as long as the traveling nut 44 is in its extreme left position (Fig. 2), since the tooth 51 then rests on the stop 52, while the control resistance is on the first Contact is available. If: then the shaft 4 is set in rotation, the nut 44 migrates on the thread 43 to the right, the teeth of the wheel 45 sliding in the toothed grooves of the roller 26. Immediately after this movement begins, the stop 52 releases the tooth Si, whereupon the shaft 25 can rotate under the drive of the motor 2o connected to it by the belt 23 and the cord pulley 24. The toothed roller 26, which is keyed on the shaft 25, transmits the rotation to the wheel 45. At the same time, the lever 22 of the control resistor is moved as a result of the sideways movement of the nut 44 over the contacts of the resistor 2i, whereby the motor 2o receives a stronger current and comes to higher revolutions, so that the rotational speed of the toothed roller 26, the wheel 45 and: the other parts increases. As a result of the rotation of the wheel 45, the nut 44 migrates back on the thread 43 and thereby brings: on the one hand the contact lever 22 back to the first contact of the regulating resistor 21 and on the other hand the oscillating lever 53 into its rest position shown in FIG. 13; in which the tooth 51 of the lever 49 hits the stop 52. As a result of the elasticity of the spring, the stop is made without a sudden shock.

As can be seen from Fig. 2, the collector shaft 41 is through gear ratios connected to two sets 62 and 63 of planetary gears, each set of which ten ratchet wheels on: the planetary shafts the planetary gear contains. The sentences may also contain a greater or lesser number of ratchet wheels, too, may only one set or three or more sets of this type with ratchet wheels are available be. In any case, however, the series of planetary gears ends in a planetary gear 'containing housing, the planetary shaft of which on the shaft of the last sun gear -of the set on: which the remaining sun gears are loosely pushed on, wedged so that the rotation at the end of the sentence, i.e. i. the sum of the rotations of each ratchet wheels included in the set is transmitted to the shaft 41. The translation on the sentence 62 consists of the gears 6o and 64, the translation on the sentence 63 from the gears 61 and 65. The gears 64 and 65 are with the sun gears E6 or 67 of a planetary gear, whose planet shaft 6 $ on .die Wedle 41 wedged ast. As a result, the shaft 411 takes the sum of the rotations of the two shafts of the planetary gear sets 62, 63. The translations, 6o, 64 and : 6i, 65 are dimensioned so that the angular velocity of the shaft 41 is the sum of the Angular velocities of the shafts of sentences 62 and 63: corresponds.

The weight 39 exerts a constant force on the shafts of sentences 62 and 63 Torque off. The string of the weight is looped around the drum 37, -the is connected to the planetary shaft of a planetary gear. The one sun gear this planetary gear is keyed on the shaft 41, the other with the gear 34 connected, which runs freely on the shaft 41, but can only rotate when the shaft 25 turns. As already said, it is on this shaft through the gears 32 and 33 translated. The belt 23 driven by the motor 2o acts on the shaft 25 constant torque. As long as none of the ratchet wheels is released, is locks the entire device. But as soon as one, two, three or more ratchet wheels are released at the same time, the planetary axis of the planetary gear rotates 68 with its shaft 41 under the influence of the weight drum 37.

With the shaft 41: rotates: the threaded drum 43, whereupon the nut 44 begins to wander with the gear 45. Immediately thereafter, the stop 52 is released, whereupon the shaft 25 begins to rotate under the influence of the belt 23. The toothed drum 26 then rotates the wheel 45 so that it screws onto the thread 43 to the left. : At the same time, the gears 32 and 33 and thus the wheel 34 also rotate, as a result of which the weight 39 is pulled up again. The weight 39 is therefore constantly, in decreasing and increasing motion. @It constantly exerts a turning moment on the shafts of the planetary gear sets, so that the ratchet wheels turn forwards step by step as soon as they are released. The weight 39 is always pulled up again to the same extent as it expires.

If the planetary gears rotate at high speed, the resulting displacement of the nut 44 to the right takes place faster than its return movement caused by the rotation of the toothed drum 26. However, the greater the difference between the forward and backward migration of the mother, the further the contact lever 22 of the current regulator is shifted via its contacts, the current of the motor 2o is amplified and the shaft 25 is accelerated until a rotational speed is reached at which the return migration of the mother 44 is greater than its pre-migration. Then the pre-migration stops, the contact lever 22 reaches the lower contacts again and the speed of the motor decreases again.

When the nut 44 finally returns to its extreme left position, the stop 52 again enters the path of the tooth 51 and the rotation of the shaft 25 is braked. The shaft 25 thus plays: to a certain extent the role of a "collector", in that it rotates around as many units as the teeth of the ratchet wheels have been released. The collection: takes place slowly at the beginning and at the end of the movement, but very quickly if the teeth of the ratchet wheels are released in quick succession. The device collects the rotations of the ratchet wheels regardless of their time sequence and forwards them one after the other. Starting and stopping are slow, which is why all parts can be carried out very easily without fear of damage from intermittent movement.

The collector therefore works with certainty even in the fastest possible succession the release of the locking wheels, as it is done with fast card issuance. The transfer the sum from the collector starts at the same time as the release of the ratchet wheels and then goes on in uninterrupted sequence. This is a very essential one Advantage of the device, as it is able to carry out a large number of movements, which emanate from different places, to be summed up in such a way that they are both in the individual meters as well as the main meter collected, transferred to the counter and are displayed by this, but not - the original advance movements transmits directly, but their sum, regardless of the speed, with which the original incremental movements take place, and: thereby the summation with increasing speed, but slowly at the beginning and at the end does not work intermittently.

The weight 39 exerts a constant torque on the shaft 41, so that it rotates immediately when released from one of its jamming devices will. The wheel 34, that: with the one sun wheel 35 (Fig. 2) of the planetary gear in which Trominel 37 is connected, is, as already said, reversed by the transmission Direction driven as by shaft 25. So when shaft 25 rotates, the weight 39 wound up again from the drum 37. The weight falls and rises thus alternately, when running, it rotates the shaft 44 so that the nut 44 opens -you move to the right; it is pulled back as soon as the movement predominates, the wheel 45 - on the thread 43 in its left-hand side shown in Fig. 2 Position.

In the drawings, the translation of the planetary gear shafts on the shaft 41 is shown as a spur gear ratio. Instead, a gear ratio could be selected using chains and sprockets. If more than two sets of planetary gears are used, one or more further planetary gears connected in series are attached to the shaft 41, to which the resulting rotations of the shafts of the individual planetary gear sets are transmitted in such a way that they are add up the partial rotations and the total rotation of the shaft 41 corresponds to the sum of the rotations of the shafts. The weight 39 is to be dimensioned in such a way that: by means of the planetary gear on the shaft 4r . exerts a torque up the shafts of all planetary operations, which is sufficient to advance the ratchet wheels immediately after their release.

The advancement of each of the: ratchet wheels on the planetary shafts of the planetary gear sets 62 and 63 are seated, is controlled by anchor escapements. The angle by which the ratchet wheel in question rotates and the corresponding angle Rotation of the decorative shaft 41 depends on the pitch of the ratchet wheel. The tooth pitch if the price of the tickets in question is chosen, each time when a card is issued at a point of sale and thereby one of the anchor escapements is moved, the associated ratchet wheel and thus also the shaft 41 for rotation the angle of which is proportional to the sale price of the card:.

Since the rotation of the gears 6o and 61 at the end of the planetary gear sets 62, 63 corresponds to the sum of all individual rotations of the ratchet gears of the relevant set, there is a transmission to the shaft 4z by a corresponding amount, and since the transmission via the planetary gear 66, 67, 68 happens, it takes place in accordance with all planetary gear sets. It does not matter whether two or more ratchet gears are working in one or more of the planetary gear sets at the same time.

If the device is intended for a larger number of card issuing points are used, so are further sets of planetary gears in the manner of the sets .I2, 63 translated by further planetary gears on the shaft 41 on this, so that the rotation of the latter represents the sum of all rotations of the sentences: - Another change the type of construction is not required, since the existing parts are the union of the shaft 41 with any number of sets of planetary gears; allow. Any number can be used in the same way of counting devices for the individual horses by means of the necessary lay-up translated to the main counting shaft 164 in the manner indicated in Fig. i. The whole system consists of self-contained units and can go through Addition of such can be expanded without a reconstruction of the collector, transmission or display device is required.

The revolutions of the collector are transmitted to the counter by a device consisting of the gears 34, 33, 32, 27, 28 and 7o. Fig. 10 shows the arrangement of the shafts of the wheels 34 and 28 as well as the wheel 7o and the pinions 27, 32 and 33. The wheel 7o is shown partially broken away so that the wheel 28 behind it can be seen with its spiral guide groove 30 enlarged at 31 is. The hub 71 (fig. Ri) of the wheel 28 (fig. 2, 3, 10, 1T) rotates freely on the shaft 29. A coil spring 72 is at its inner end with the hub 71 and at its outer end with the gear 70 connected. On the hub 172 of the latter there is a crank pin 73 which engages in a slot of a lever 74 and transmits the movements to the counter through the latter. The lever 74 can swing about a pin 75. When moving back and forth in the slot of the lever 74, the crank pin 73 gives the latter a rapid upward movement and a slow downward movement. On a short shaft 77 sits on the one hand a Ritze176 engaging in the wheel 70 and on the other hand a freewheel hub 78 with wind blades 79. The rotation of the wheel 70 causes the shaft 77 to rotate through the pinion 76, the blades 79 acting as an air brake and only a certain one Allow the speed of rotation of the wheel 70 .

Furthermore is still. a device is provided which has the effect that the wheel 70 always comes to rest in a certain position and that the transmission device is completely relaxed. A three-armed lever 8o is seated on the wheel 70 (Fig. 10) so that it can swing on a pin 81. This carries a .Stift 82; ider in the spiral groove .des wheel 28 is guided. Next to his standing down. On the arm, the three-armed lever 8o carries a curved spring 83 which, in the rest position, rests against a stop 84 of a fixed pin 85. The spring 83 serves to absorb the impact when the lever 8o hits the stop 84. If it should break off, the lever 8o can also come to rest directly on the stop 84. As long as the pin 82 is in the outermost contact .the spiral groove 3o, the lever 8o is pivoted into its extreme position in which it meets the stop 84 so that the wheel 7o cannot rotate. However, if the wheel 28 leads the wheel 70 by one or more revolutions, the pin 82 gets into one of the inner spiral grooves and lifts the lever 8o, the wheel 70 is released and now rotates under the influence of the now tensioned spring 72. The rotation of the wheel 70 continues until the pin 82 has reached the outermost spiral groove again, whereby the lever 8o reaches the stop 84 again. The purpose of expanding the outermost spiral groove is to bring about a rapid movement of the lever 8o at the moment of its transition into and out of the locking position, so that the lever 8o cannot accidentally get stuck on the stop 84, as could happen with a simple spiral groove.

If the wheel 28 has tensioned the spring 72, the wheel 7o continues to act progressing to the counter after the wheel 28 has come to a standstill. Such a temporary accumulation and balanced transmission of the drive movement from the collector to the counter is practically necessary when one dials from wants to use considerable size and moment of inertia without disturbance the latter occur as the maximum speed at which the number discs . rotated is only slightly. It's practically impossible to get broken numbers from ,the. required size with -the same speed ou rotate with the at the most, the card is issued, but it is useful to include it the average speed of the card issuance or to advance a little faster. Therefore, the measure taken according to the invention is important that in the Transmission a device is switched on, the last drive wheel irregular and fast turns up to a certain maximum speed allowed, while the speed at which the expenses of the cards are transferred to the collector is unlimited. The arrangement of the blades 7o on a freewheel hub is also of importance, because it causes the bike to come to a sudden standstill 70 the wings can coast without taking the shaft 77 with them due to their moment of inertia.

On the single drum 126 (Fig. 3) there is a sprocket 157 @ Fig. i), which is connected by a chain 16o to the sprocket 156 (Fig. 1, 2) on the shaft 29 (Fig. 3, io, ii). The rotary movements of the wheel 70 on the shaft 29 are thus transmitted directly to the egg drum. The tens transfer to the tens, hundreds and thousands drums is carried out by push rods isg, which are articulated to a continuous axis 12o carried by lever arms 112 (Fig. 3). The latter lever arms sit on a forward and backward rotating shaft iii, onto which the slotted lever arm 74 (Fig. 3, io) is wedged. Since this lever arm swings back and forth once with each rotation of the wheel 70, the push rods go back and forth once with each rotation of the single drum 125. On the shaft iii (Fig. 3, 14, 15) three-armed levers 113, 117, 137 are loosely placed. They are held in the position indicated in the drawings by springs 154 or weights. Their arms 113, which are provided with hooks, fall into slots 320 of extensions 114 (Figs. 14, 15) of the tens, hundreds and thousands drums. A rod 116 passes through the lever arms 11, 2 oscillating with one another (FIG. 3), which strikes the lever arms 117 and the hooks of the arms every time the lever arms 112 are raised as the arm 74 moves back and forth 113 disengages from the slots in the drums. Slightly movable arms iig are pushed onto an axis i2o carried by the arms 112, which immediately after the arms i 13 are unlatched with claws 118 at their ends into the slots 320 and when the lever 112 then swings back around the drums .turn a tenth of a turn further. Claws 12, 1 carried by springs 122 (Fig. I4) allow the drums to rotate forwards, but prevent them from rotating backwards. The tens and hundreds drums each have a protruding edge 123 on their right side (Fig. 2, 22) on which a roller 124 of the claw 118 slides for the next higher drum (Fig. 22). At a certain point on each edge 123 there is a recess (indicated in Fig. 23) which is in its highest position when the drum shows the number nine. In this position, she enables Klane 118 to enter. Reaching into a slot 32o of the next higher drum and advancing this drum by a tenth of a revolution. However, as long as there is no interruption in the bleak, smooth edge 123 under the roller 124, the latter remains raised and the loop is prevented from reaching into the slots 320 .

The number drums run freely on the axis 126, on which they are pushed next to one another with the necessary clearance. On the side of each drum, with the exception of the single drum, there is a lever 128 bent in on a pin 166 (Fig. 14), which is pressed by a spring 129 with a pin 127 protruding from its side against a cam disk 130 wedged onto the shaft 126 will. every drum except the single drum has such a lever and such a cam. The single drum is thereby set back to zero from the number it is currently displaying, by repeatedly letting one of the escapements work while it is being driven by the belt 16o. A chain wheel 132 on the shaft 26 is connected by a chain to a hand crank 140 (Fig. 1, 16, 17), by means of which it can be rotated. A shaft 134, which can be rotated with the help of a manually moved lever 135 seated on it, carries cams 136 which act on grooves 137 of the three-armed lever 113 and thereby lift their hooks out of the slots in the drum rims 114 (Fig . 16, 17). Once this has happened, the shaft 126 is rotated by means of the chain drive 133, 132, whereupon the cam disks 130 rotate in the direction of the arrow (Ab b. 14.) And the pins 127 fall into the grooves 138. After one revolution of the shaft 126, all number drums are reset to zero in this way. The lever 135 (Fig. 16) is then released again, whereupon the arms 113 re-enter: the slots 32o of the drums. The counter is now ready for the next race.

The device for the simultaneous zeroing of all counters for the individual horses and the main counter is shown in Figs. It is driven by the hand crank 140 and the hand lever i4i. Using the. Hand crank, all shafts 126 are rotated by a chain drive from a countershaft 142 on which the hand crank acts by means of a bevel gear 143. The hand lever 14z is connected through a lever system with the individual Ausschalthebeln = 135th This consists of rods 144, which are moved by lever arms 1.45 wedged onto a shaft i51. The shaft 151 is in turn connected to: the hand mist by a lever 171 and a push rod 146. The hand lever 141 is pivotable about a pin 147. He i carries a roller 148 on a pin, which enters into linen, section 1.49 of a disk 16z. The washer 161 is - keyed to the shaft of a sprocket 15o, which is driven by the shaft 142 by means of a chain (Fig i6.). In the illustrated locking position of the lever 141, the entire zero setting device is locked, since the roller 148 which has entered into the cutout 1q.9 of the disk 161 prevents rotation of the disk and the sprocket 150 and thus a rotation of all drum shafts 126. The lever 141 is held in the locking position by a spring 321 acting on its extension 322. If the hand lever is in the position in A: bb. 16 moves the dashed position, the crank 14.o can be rotated, whereby it takes all drum shafts 126 with it through the sprocket gear ratios and simultaneously resets all drums 115, except for the single drums, to zero. In Fig. I two groups of zeroing devices are drawn, one of which: a part of decorative counting devices for: the individual horses and the other resets the remaining part of these as well as the main counter. The number of zeroing devices required to be attached in this way depends on the size and number of the display drums present.

The locking devices of the ratchet wheels are triggered by electromagnets. As is known, see a set of planetary gears connected in series the successive planetary gear axles alternately in opposite directions: ; The ratchet teeth of the ratchet wheels must therefore alternate on one wheel to the right and be placed to the left in the following. In Fig. 1 $. Is a right-handed "Single-value" ratchet wheel: shown; Fig. G shows a right-handed one "Two-valued" ratchet wheel. The only difference between the escapers for right-hand. and left-hand ratchet wheels is that they are accordingly the gear teeth are right-handed or left-handed.

If cards for 10, 20 and zoo marks are issued at the totalizer, the locking device according to Fig. 1 $ is used for the cards for 10 marks, the one for cards closed, 20 marks and the one according to Fig. 2o for cards to 100 marks. Each ratchet wheel has ten teeth in the first case, five teeth in the second and an arrangement corresponding to a single tooth in the third case. In the latter case, the ratchet wheel has a special one; The escapement described below takes place: a simple anchor escapement and in a ratio of 2: 1 on the shaft soß - (Fig-2) translated. The gear ratios are such that the crank pin 73 makes one revolution every time the escapement of a ratchet wheel for cards at 10 marks has worked twenty times or the escapement of a ratchet wheel for cards at 20 marks has worked ten times or the escapement of a ratchet wheel for cards has worked at foo marks twice . In Fig. 18 and ig are the lock wheels; gi the armature escapement, g2 the magnet armature, 93 the retraction springs, 94 the carrier, 95 the electromagnet, 340 adjusting screws on a shoulder 341 of the armature escapement and 96 the planetary gears with the planetary axis 97. In Fig.2o the console 302 carries a ball bearing for the shaft fob and an arm 303 on which an angle lever 305 can be pivoted about a pin 3o4. The angle lever 305 has a stop 3o6, on which a lug on the side of the ratchet wheel 98 rests in the position according to Fig. so that the wheel is locked against rotation. The direction of the torque acting on the ratchet wheel is indicated by an arrow. The end of the angle lever 305 lies under a pawl 307 which can be pivoted on an arm 3o8. This arm projects laterally on a lever 309 that can swing around a pin 31o of a fixed support. The lever 309 carries, on the one hand, the magnet armature 311 and, on the other hand, on a shoulder 312 a return spring and an adjusting screw like the corresponding parts in Fig. 18 and ig. If the electromagnet 313 attracts the armature 311, the lever 3o9 swings with its extension 308 to the right and pulls the pawl 307 off the lever 305 , which can then swivel freely. The nose ioo consequently pushes the stop 3o6 and: the lever 305 upwards and passes the stop 3o6. The lever 305 then falls back into its lower position and, if the arm 3o9 has already returned to its rest position in the meantime, it latches under the pawl 307. The wheel @ 98 can only make one complete revolution. If, on the other hand, the armature 311 has not yet let go before the end of the rotation of the wheel 98 , there is a nose 312 at the upper end of the arm 3o9 in the path of a stop 99 of the wheel 98 and holds it in place before its rotation is complete. - In the meantime, the lever 305 has returned under the pawl 3o7 and is held by this when the anchor is released. At the same time, the stop 99 is also released, whereupon the wheel 98 completes its primary rotation and finally comes to rest with the nose ioo on the stop 3o6. The use of such a for the wheel 98 is rf @ xäerlich, since your Idas wheel is released with certainty to one rotation and under no circumstances can make more than one rotation with an anchor tightening.

The gear ratio of the wheels 98 and 103 determines the angle of rotation of the shaft io8 for each full revolution of the wheel 98. You can therefore set up the display device for high-quality cards for both 100 marks and any other values, independently of the Tooth pitch of the gears sitting directly on the shaft for cards with lower values.

The shaft of the main register (fig.4, 5, 6) contains a set of Planetary gears to which the displays of all individual gears are translated, a weight drum as a drive for the shaft, an automatic winding device with a braking device, a device 323 for collecting and transferring the Shaft rotations in tenths of a turn, so that the main counter rotates in leaps and bounds and does not stop between two numbers, furthermore a transmission device with a screw thread, similar to that of the individual meters for collecting and transferring the drive movements used. This part of the overall device is largely executed in the same way as the corresponding devices in the individual meters.

The collective shaft 164 shown in Fig. 4 is located in the main counter with their gears in place of the groups of Planetary gears, the movement of which is driven by the output points Inhibitions are regulated. On the collecting shaft 164 are about the seated on it Planetary gears transmit the rotations of the various individual counters, collected and summed up and by a device similar to that available with the individual counters transferred to the main register.

The shaft 164 (Fig. 1, 4) consists of several sections, the ends of which are connected to one another by planetary gears, the planetary axes of which carry chain wheels 175. The latter are driven by the single wheels of the individual counters through chains 176, 177, 178 (Fig. I) in such a way that sprockets 158 on the single drums 115 of the individual counters transmit the rotation to sprockets 153 , which are connected to the planetary axes of countershafts 152 Sit planetary gears. Further planetary gears 161, 162, 163, in which the partial rotations transmitted by the individual counters are totaled, are connected to the countershafts. The gears and chain wheels of the whole system are dimensioned in such a way that the values of the cards removed appear on the counters and not the number of drives resulting from the removal. In some cases it is useful to reduce the speed of the driven parts by using an intermediate gear unit, e.g. B. at 165 (Fig. I). The planetary gear 161 is connected to the main counter by a chain 179 via a reducing gear ratio 165. The left end of the shaft 164 (Figures 4 and 5) is connected to the shaft 18o of the collector by a device for the stepwise transmission of the rotations. This consists of a stationary ratchet wheel 181, an arm 182 on the shaft i8o ,. a resilient pawl 183 articulated on this, which is connected to an arm 184, a sleeve 85 fixed on the shaft 164 and a spiral spring 186, the inner end of which is on the shaft 164 and the outer end of which is on the arm 182, the shaft 18o - is attached. On the outside of the bushing 85 there is a stop 487 which strikes the arm 184 when the bushing 185 is rotated by a certain amount against the arm 18a. The shaft 164 rotates at a non-uniform speed, tensioning the spring 186 because rotation of the arm 182 is prevented by the pawl 183 which engages the stationary ratchet 181. As soon as the stop 487 reaches the arm 184 and swings it to the side, the pawl 183 is raised, whereupon the arm 182 with the shaft i8o rotates under the tension of the spring 186 by a tooth spacing (ie by a tenth of a turn), whereupon the pawl falls into the next tooth gap and stops him. In this way, the shaft i 8o with the threaded drum 43a of the collector and the main counter, to which the collector transmits the rotations, all turn abruptly at a uniform speed. The counter jumps from one number to another and cannot stop between two numbers.

The collecting shaft 164 of the main register is driven by weights. It contains a number of sprockets according to the number of their sections and the planetary gears sitting on it. The two weight drums 187 (Fig.4) are located on the planetary axes of planetary gears. The weight cords 188 are wrapped around these drums and loaded with appropriate weights. The shaft rotates under their influence by the amounts for which it is driven by the track chains 176, 177, 178 (Fig. I), which connect them to the individual meters, is released. The two weight drives provide the driving force required for the advancement of the shaft 164 and the parts connected to it is required and thus play the same role for the main counter as the weight drive 39 (Fig. 2) for the individual meters already described.

The drums 187 are in the same way as in the construction according to Ab! B. 2 automatically pulled up again to the extent that the weight runs off. A brake 194 (Figs. 4, 6) prevents the shaft from rotating too quickly. The current of the drive motor is regulated by a regulator resistor 222, the arm 223 of which is advanced by the weight cord 188. For this purpose, the arm is finite to an angle lever through a link 224 (Fig. 6). --25 connected, which has a hole for the passage of the weight cord 188. When the cord is wound, the weight 226 lifts the lever 225. A second weight 227 is attached to the latter which, when released, pulls it downwards, guiding the contact arm of the regulator resistor over the contacts. If the first contact is switched on, the current is just sufficient to keep the motor (not shown) running slowly. The belt 189 (Fig. 4), the -the motor with the cord-. disc rgo on a countershaft igr, connects, slides. A pinion I92 on the countershaft igi (Fig. 4, 6) engages in a spur gear 193 on the shaft 164, so that this, when it is released, is set in rotation by the motor. The gear 193 is connected to one sun gear 228 of the planetary gear in the weight drum 187 and, when it is driven, pulls the weight through the planetary gear in the drum until it hits the lever 225 and thereby the contact lever 223 on the first Contact returns. The lever 225 sits on a shaft 229, which lies in bearings (not shown) and carries a second lever arm 230. This is connected to a brake lever 196 through an adjustable handlebar 198: the latter carries a brake shoe 195 resting on a disk 194. The disk 194 sits on the shaft rgi. Usually, the brake lever 196 is raised by a spring 231. The parts described keep the weight 226 in an ascending and descending motion that occurs within narrow limits. It moves .the contact lever 223 of the resistor 222 and regulates the motor speed. Furthermore, it moves the brake shoe 194 in such a way that the shaft 191 slowly comes to rest and remains at rest as long as the string of the weight is completely wound onto the drum 187.

In practice, a single weight drum may be sufficient 187 and the associated parts to set the shaft 164 in rotation. These The shaft is separated from the regulator and collector device described below. On the left end of the shaft 164 is a similar one to that described above Weight drive. If the shaft 164 is very long and a larger number of planetary gears contains one or more additional weight drums with planetary gears be attached to individual sections of the shaft. The resulting rotations of the shaft 164 are transmitted to the main register by a device that exactly as described with reference to Fig. 2, the rotation of the shaft 41 on the Individual counter-transmitting device corresponds.

On the threaded drum 4311, which is keyed onto the shaft I8o, there is a gear wheel and a traveling nut, corresponding to parts 44, 45 in Fig. 2: The gear wheel engages in one of the roller 26 according to Fig: 2 corresponding toothed Roller. This stands with a motor, like motor 2o in Fig. 2, through the same parts, as indicated there, in connection: In Fig. 4 a gear corresponds to 232 the wheel 34 and the regulator resistor 233 the resistor 2r in Fig. 2. The details .The device and its mode of operation are the same as with the arrangement according to Fig.2, a more detailed description is therefore not necessary.

However, if the system has a larger number of card issuing points and therefore .with a very fast sequence of simultaneous card issues must be calculated in many issuing offices, which makes the main counter especially is heavily used, so a special facility must be taken by which the transmission device between .dem collector 43 and the counters very can be put in and out of service quickly, making the transfer faster than with a small system. In the @forrichtung described so far a certain amount of time is lost until the engine reaches its maximum speed of 2o, and also with .the gradual decrease. of its number of revolutions. For big Load, the motor is therefore kept in operation at full speed, and the traveling nut of the collector 43 changes the translation, by using . a linkage a friction roller between the drive pulley on: the motor shaft and the driven pulley on the shaft 25 moves.

Such an arrangement is shown in Figures 22 to 25. When the traveling nut 4.4 is in the rest position, the friction roller 25o is located above the center of the driving disk 253. If the nut 44 moves to the right on the thread 43, the friction roller is guided over the surface of the driving disk 253 to its periphery, whereby it approaches the center of the driven pulley 259. This increases the transmission ratio and, accordingly, the number of revolutions of the shaft 25. During the return movement of the friction roller 25o, the revolution of the counter is slowed down again without the speed of the motor decreasing. A two-armed lever 24o engages with a pin 241 at its end in the guide groove of the nut 44. The other arm z42 of the lever is connected at 243 by a lever 244 to a shaft 245 (Figs. 22, 24, 25). This is connected by means of a lever arm 246 and a link 247 to a slide 248 on which the friction roller 250 lies in bearings 249 which are supported by supports 251. The carriage slides in bearings 252 on the base plate. The driving pulley 253 sits on a shaft 254, which is driven by the motor by means of a tightly tensioned belt and rotates evenly at maximum speed. 255 is a ball thrust bearing. A ball thrust bearing 256 is supported against the bearing 257, which carries the shaft 258 of the driven disk 259, against which a helical spring 26r is pressed by adjusting nuts 26o on the shaft 258. The spring pushes the shaft 258 to the left according to its tension, whereby the friction surfaces 253 and 259 are kept in intimate contact with the friction roller. The resistor 21 (Fig. 2) is missing in this arrangement, instead a momentary switch 262 is provided, consisting of a fixed contact 263, a contact blade 264 and a switch lever 265. A spring 266 pulls the switch into its normal position, the Working position drawn with solid lines, from which it is only switched off when the nut 44 on the thread 43 approaches the right end. Until then, the motor current remains switched on and the shaft 254 runs at maximum speed, while the position of the nut 44 and the resulting position of the lever 240, 242 determines the position of the friction wheel 25o between the drive disk 253 and the driven disk 259. If the card withdrawals follow one another very quickly, the nut 44 moves so quickly to the right on the thread 43 that in the construction according to Fig.2 the speed with which it is returned through the drum 43 would not be sufficient to return it. In the present case, the nut 44 displaces the friction wheel 25o so that the disk 259 and the device driven by it come to a high speed. The speed also decreases when the friction wheel 25o is moved in the opposite direction without the speed of the shaft 254 being changed anything Speed takes place. In this case, a pin 270 on the lever 24o hits the switch-off lever 265 and pushes it into the position shown in dashed lines. This interrupts the common return of all the electromagnets that set the escapements on the ratchet wheels in motion. As a result, the further accumulation of the individual revolutions in the collector stops until the collector has transferred part of the stored revolutions to the counters. The nut 44 goes back together with the lever 240, whereupon the off switch is closed again by the spring 266. This closes the circuit of the electromagnets again and the locking devices work again.

The fact that the lever of the momentary switch before the interruption the line must first cover a certain distance and the arm 24o only afterwards The mother 44 has to travel a longer distance to the off-switch a lot of leeway before opening the off switch. As a result of use a momentary switch that does not have the .Current opens at which it closes it, the device works with a delay, and it cannot happen that the circuit breaker vibrates at its contact, like it would be the case with an ordinary breaker when the collector is straight absorbs the same amount of partial spins that it gives off at the same time.

The speed change gearbox can also be used simultaneously and in The same design is used for both the individual meters and the main meter will.

The parts arranged on the shaft 29 (Fig. 3) are shown in Fig. 22 is also present. The rotation of the toothed roller 26 is first transferred to the gear 28 and from this through : the chain 16o to the unity wheel of the meter. The shaft 29 carries a gear wheel 272 (Fig. 22, 23) which meshes with a gear 273. This, like the wheel 28, laterally a spiral spring 27q serving as a driver, the purpose of which has already been explained became. A sprocket 276 is located on the shaft 275, which is connected by a chain 277 drives the ten drum 278 of the counter. The gear ratio between shafts 29 and 275 is to: i.

On the shaft 25 there is one shown in Fig. 7 to ga Regulator device. Its purpose is to regulate the revolutions of this shaft in such a way that that it can quickly reach large revolutions, but during the last revolutions is braked and slowly comes to rest. This increases the capacity of the Collector's size, since he was able to record and forward the rotations with the greatest Speed can work.

Fig. 7 and 7a belong: together with Fig. 22. In this case, the lever arm 47 is provided with two stop pins 28o and 2.81, which abut against two adjustable stops 282 and 283. The pair of stops 28r, 283 acts on the previously described swingable arm 53 (Fig. 7, 7a, see Fig. 12, r3), which carries the stop 52. The latter meets Anne's nose 51. 49, which is carried along by a spring 50. The stop 282 sits at the upper end of a swingable lever 28q. (Fig. 7), which is connected by a link 285 to two levers 286 that can swing about the axis 34.2 on the base plate. The extensions 287 of these arms carry brake shoes 288 (FIGS. 7, 7a), which face a disk 289 near its edge. The hub 292 of this disk is slidable on the hub 293 of the wheel 24. In its normal position, the disc 289 is secured by springs 2go, which are mounted on pins 29r on the cord disc 2q. are stored, pushed away from the brake shoes. On the other side is the cord disc 2q. a drum 29q. attached, in which there are two weights 295 of a centrifugal governor (Abib., ga). These are pulled towards the center by a coil spring 296. The weights 295 have laterally projecting, beveled noses 297 (FIGS. 8, 9, 9 a) which rest against rollers 298 on the hub 292 of the disk 298. The movement of the weights under the influence of centrifugal force can be seen in Figure 8. If the weights spread as the speed of the wheel 24 increases, the inclined surfaces 297 slide onto the rollers 298 and thereby move the disc 298 against the pressure of the spring 2go. This process takes place when a large number of movements are to be transferred to the counter in quick succession, i.e. when the 1Tutter 4.4. after the right end of the thread 43 migrates. As long as it is there, there is still no braking effect on the disk 28g. If, however, the lever 47 returns to its rest position to the left, it strikes the stop 283, pivots the lever 287 and thereby presses the brake shoes 288 against the disk 28g, so that it and the wheel 24 soon come to a standstill. The complete stopping of the shaft 25 finally takes place through the action of the stop 282 by bringing the stop 52 under the arm 51 so that the shaft stops exactly in the correct position, and the parts of the transmission device .and the counter in their rest position in matching Position. The numbers on the counters are now set for the audience. The friction described. The drive from Fig. 22 with the motor continuously running at maximum speed can also be used in the simpler embodiment of the device according to Fig. 2 to replace the arrangement of the drive with a sliding belt and an alternating speed motor.

Between the main meter and the individual meters. is the difference that (with the main counter in large systems the units and tens wheels each go through Chains are driven by parts of the transmission device associated with the corresponding Speeds (one and ten) rotate while the hundreds, thousands and, if necessary, the tens and hundreds of thousands of the Push rods are rotated rrg. The single drum of the main meter can also be used without Drive remain and finally set by hand according to the exact total will.

In some cases it is useful when turning fast in uneven turns Periods of time are made to delay these movements immediately before they are terminated, to avoid bumps. So z. B. when triggering an inhibition for cards for zoo marks, with which one complete rotation of the ratchet wheel always takes place, a very large one rapid rotation of the shaft of the planetary gear set in question. To delay this movement is expediently an air buffer 300, the piston with a disk 301 is connected to the end of shaft 29 by a cursive brooch (Fig. 22). In a similar way Way is also in Fig. 2, where 98 represents a single gear, an air buffer z05, in to the a piston works, indicated. Also on the shaft 29 (Fig. 3) there can be a poor end Disc with a crank pin attached to the piston of an air buffer attacks. With the arrangement according to Fig. 2, 3 an air buffer is not necessary, however For the arrangement according to Fig. 22, one should be provided for shaft 29. Likewise there is an impeller 33o as an air brake, similar to the impeller 79 in A_ bb. 2, on shaft 77.

Tests have shown that in a totalizer device in the above-described arrangement, the escapement devices in the largest occurring The speed at which the cards are removed work properly and that when collecting, adding up and transferring the partial rotations, the intermediate parts , and the counters run easily, noiselessly and jolt-free, even with sudden changes Acceleration or deceleration of the movements that occur with faster or more irregular Motion transmission occurs on the device. The device has a crowded one Form and can be built from self-contained units that are pre-assembled and do not require any special adjustment for assembly. The main counter can be connected to a practically unlimited number of individual meters. Each individual counter can be set up for the largest number of issuing points, which can occur in practice.

Instead of electrical transmission to the escapements, you could also do without other changes a mechanical transmission can be selected. In this case would only come instead of the electric switch in Alyb. 22 a corresponding mechanical Safety device into consideration. ,
