invention

refers to innovations in liquid containers, from which the contents, namely drinks, in certain Quantities are taken. The purpose of the invention is to prevent any loss of fluid caused by inattention the seller could avoid incurring while reducing the number of items sold To register units of measure.

In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a front view of the apparatus; Fig. 2 is a cross section in the direction of the line xx of Fig. Ι; Fig. 3 is a vertical section on an enlarged scale, Fig. 4 is a front view of the registration and pouring device, Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same, Fig. 6 is a vertical section in the direction of the line yy of Figs. 7 is a vertical section in the direction of the line \ - \ of FIGS. 4 and 5; Figures 8 and 9 are details of the construction.

In the present embodiment, there are several vessels or containers in such a position arranged in a measuring container so that, one after the other, their contents can easily be attached to the measuring container can deliver, at the same time the registration mechanism registers the withdrawn quantity.

Several elongated vessels A are arranged in a circle, and their upper opening opens into a housing B, which is covered with a matching lid b . The lower end of the vessels A rests in a matching seat c of the base plate C.

The vessels A are advantageously made of glass or translucent material which makes it easy to see the level of the liquid; at their lower ends they are provided with inwardly beating valves α , the spindle of which protrudes through the floor and can be easily lifted by a lever a ^1; this lever a ^l is mounted on a shaft α ² , which can be rotated by the lever a ³ (Fig. 5).

The lever a ¹ is located in a housing D, which is closed on all sides and which contains the pouring and registering device; the shaft a ² is also mounted in the housing, while ¹ the lever a ³ provided with a handle is located outside the same, so that the valves α are only accessible to persons who have a key to the housing.

To support said base plate C , a table E is arranged, which is carried by the feet e . This table is provided with an annular rim e ¹ , the upper edge of which extends as far as the plate C , so that this rim and the table form a housing for receiving the downwardly extending valves α .

In the middle of the table E there rises a stand F, which forms the centric support for the upper housing B and the lower plate C, in which the vessels A are fastened;

the housing as well as the plate can be rotated around the stand at ff ¹ , so that the vessels A can be rotated around the stand. The plate C is provided in interstices with projections c ¹ in which a pawl c ² can engage, which is mounted in the housing D in such a way that the vessels A can be brought into the position suitable for emptying one after the other.

The housing D is provided with a front wall d made of glass or with a glass window; Furthermore, an opening d ¹ is located directly above the measuring container G , through which the liquid from the containers A can pour into the measuring container.

The measuring container is provided with a horizontal beam-like support g which is loosely located on a shaft H and whose loaded end g ^l is dimensioned so that the measuring cylinder G is in an upright position below the opening d ¹ . A bolt h, which is located on the shaft H , engages in a slot g ² , which is cut into a sleeve g ^{3 of} the support g in such a way that the shaft H is rotated a little - ■ in the present embodiment about a quarter turn - ■ can be turned without turning the support; however, if the shaft H continues to rotate, the support g is caused to rotate and thus the container G is caused to tip over. On the shaft a gear wheel is H h ^l is provided, which engages in another or in a toothed sector h ^'2, which on a fixed pin in the housing D /; ^{3 is} stored; the wheel h ² can by the hand lever /? ⁴ , which protrudes from the front wall of the housing D through a narrow opening / z ⁵ .

The outlet I is mounted in the housing D in such a way that its enlarged end picks up the liquid from the cylinder as soon as it is overturned; the Ausgufsöffhung i protrudes from the container so out, that among them can be made to be filled vessel,.

The up. The mechanism described now functions as follows:

When the pawl c ² has been lifted out of the plate C , the vessels A are rotated until the desired vessel is brought over the opening d ^{1 of} the housing D ; when the handle a ^s is pressed, valve A opens and the desired amount of liquid flows from A into the measuring cylinder G. Although the amount of liquid transferred to container G can be seen by the worker, he cannot get liquid in earlier let in the same before he has given the previous filling of the same to the outlet I. The container G is emptied by pressing the hand lever /? * And, by means of the wheels / i ² and h ¹ , causing the shaft H to rotate; the first quarter turn of the shaft H has no effect on the turning of the container G, but is only used for registration purposes, as will be described below. If, however, the bolt h touches the end of the slot g ² , the measuring vessel g is gradually overturned until it assumes a horizontal position and its contents are poured out into the spout /, which contents run out of the opening i and are collected in a container placed in front of them will.

On the shaft H there are two printing cylinders KK ¹ or one printing cylinder consisting of two parts; these must rotate a certain distance with the shaft H by means of a pawl k (FIGS. 8 and 9).

The pawl k engages with a number of teeth k ^l attached to the cylinder circumference and is rotatably mounted on the arm k ′ ² , FIG. 6, which is connected to the shaft H. The engagement of the pawl k with the pressure cylinder always takes place in such a way that with the first quarter turn of the shaft H the pressure cylinders must rotate with the shaft, with a further rotation of the shaft H the pawl k is lifted by the curve thrust k ^{s in its path} . A retrograde movement of the Druckcylinders which is k ^ by a pawl is held in engagement with matching teeth located on the Cylinderumfang prevented by the aid of a spring (Fig. 4). The cylinder detachments KK ¹ rotate evenly with one another and at the same time press the same symbols on the paper strips fed to them.

The two paper strips L and L ¹ proceed from a feed roller M , which is loosely mounted in the housing D, and are according to the circumference of the cylinder sections. KK ¹ led; for this purpose feed rollers JV are provided which correspond to the pressure cylinders KK ¹ and are mounted in suitable bearings η located in vertical slots n ^l and are pressed against the lower surface of the cylinder by springs 0; the resulting friction is sufficient to cause the rollers JV to run smoothly with the printing cylinders and to guide the paper strip evenly between the two. Appropriate guides P serve to guide the paper strip between the cleats and then to the scissors. These scissors consist of one

fixed knife Q and a movable, rotatable ^{knife Q 1} connected to the former at q , both of which are mounted in such a way that they cut off ^{the printed paper strips when the knife Q 1 goes down.}

The movable knife Q. ¹ is operated with the aid of a rod ^ ¹ (Fig. 4) which is connected at one end to the knife and at the other to an arm r of the lever R which is rotatably mounted within the housing.

Through the engagement of the arm / c ² , which is fixed on the shaft H , the knife Q ¹ is actuated during half the rotation of the shaft H under the influence of the lever fc ⁴ , so that k ² against the arm r ² or lever R beats. The arm r ^{1 of} the lever R is mounted in such a way that the lever R cannot be rotated until the pressure cylinder KK ^{1 has} done the printing; arm A: ² hits the projection r ² of arm r when it is turned back, opening the scissors again.

The registration now proceeds in the following way:

The first quarter turn of the shaft. H, in which, as mentioned, the measuring container G is not influenced, causes the pressure cylinder KK ^{1 to} rotate by means of the pawl k and the arm k ² ; the desired characters are pressed onto the two strips of paper and the printed pieces are pushed between the scissors; With the subsequent quarter turn of the shaft H , the container G is emptied, and the scissors, ^{set in motion by the engagement of the arm / c 2} with the arm r ^{1 of} the lever R , cut off the printed part from the two strips.

One printed piece, for example S, is conveyed outward through a narrow slot s in the housing wall, while the other printed piece S ¹ falls out of the scissors through a suitable guide s ¹ into a closed container T , from which it can only be removed with the aid of a suitable key can be removed.

In order to prevent the decline of the vessel G before the lever / 1 ⁴ and set by him into action parts are returned to their normal position, a resilient Arretirung is provided which consists of a toggle lever, which parts are rotatably supported in the frame and one part χ of which is forced into engagement with a rear sight t ¹ , the Mefsbehältungsunterstützung g, with the aid of a spring f ² , the free end of which pulls the link t into the rear sight and thereby holds the container G in its overturned position for so long, until the other link f * of the lever is depressed by the curve thrust f ³ , which is located at the end of the arm k ² , on the return of the shaft H to the normal position; if the rear sight t ¹ releases the arm t , the measuring container can be turned back into its upright position and receive a new quantity of liquid.

If the shaft H is rotated, a bolt u connected to it comes into engagement with an arm M ^1; This arm u ¹ sits on a resilient shaft U, which carries a hammer w ² , and lifts the said hammer from a bell u ^s , which sounds as soon as the arm w ¹ slides past the hammer handle and thus shows that this is Mefsgefäfs has overturned.
