Bei den bisher gebräuchlichen Vorrichtungen zum Anzeigen und Vermerken vereinnahmter Kassenbeträge wird der Vermerk durch Aufdrücken, Anzeichnen oder. Perforiren eines Papierbandes oder einer fortlaufenden Fläche bewirkt, die zum Zweck des Ablesens herauszunehmen ist, oder es erfolgt die Ablesung bei Gliedern, Ketten oder Bändern, die über Rollen oder Trommeln laufen und mit den' verschiedenen Werthen bezeichnet sind, indem sie an bestimmten Stellen ihres Weges durch eine Schauöffnung sichtbar werden.In the previously common devices for displaying and noting collected Cash amounts are the note by pressing, marking or. Perforating one Paper tape or a continuous surface causes it to be removed for the purpose of reading is, or there is a reading on links, chains or bands that have Rolls or drums run and are denoted with the 'different values by they become visible at certain points on their way through a viewing opening.

Vorliegende Erfindung bezweckt, die letztere Art von Vermerkvorrichtungen zu vereinfachen und in der Weise einzurichten, dafs Werthe, anstatt auf Kettengliedern oder fortlaufenden Bändern angebracht zu werden, auf Trommeln oder Rädern selbst oder auf einem Papierband, Metallband u. dergl. vorgesehen werden, welches dicht um den Umfang eines jeden einer Serie zugehörigen Trommelrades umgelegt ist.The present invention aims to simplify the latter type of annotation device and to arrange them in such a way that values instead of on chain links or continuous ones Ribbons to be attached, on drums or wheels themselves, or on paper tape, Metal tape and the like may be provided which are tightly wrapped around the perimeter of each of a series associated drum wheel is turned over.

Auf der Zeichnung ist:On the drawing is:

Fig. 1 eine Vorderansicht eines Stückes des neuen Anzeigewerks,Fig. 1 is a front view of a piece of the new display mechanism,

Fig. 2 eine Schnittansicht eines Endes des Anzeigewerks.Figure 2 is a sectional view of one end of the indicator.

Das Gestell A der Vorrichtung erhebt sich auf einer geneigten Sockelplatte B, auf welcher, wie gewöhnlich das kastenartige Gehäuse des Anzeigewerks mit auslösbarer Verriegelung aufgesetzt ist.The frame A of the device rises on an inclined base plate B, on which, as usual, the box-like housing of the display unit with a releasable lock is placed.

In dem Gestell A wird eine volle oder rohrförmige Spindel oder Welle C in der Längsrichtung fest eingelagert und auf dieser sitzen frei drehbar, dabei durch Reibung gehalten, eine Anzahl Räder oder Trommelscheiben D, auf deren Umfang oder umgelegten Bändern die verschiedenen Werthe oder Betragbezeichnungen angebracht sind, entweder in fortlaufender oder in anderer Reihenfolge.In the frame A , a full or tubular spindle or shaft C is firmly stored in the longitudinal direction and seated on this freely rotatable, held by friction, a number of wheels or drum disks D, on whose circumference or folded belts the various values or amounts are attached , either in consecutive order or in a different order.

In der Längsrichtung ist an dem Kasten oder dessen oberem Deckel eine durchgehende Schlitzöffnung oder eine Reihe von Schauöffnungen angebracht, unterhalb welcher jede Theilung der Trommelscheiben infolge besonderer Bethätigung des Anzeigewerks einzustellen ist, während zu gleicher Zeit eine Anzeigetafel E oder ein ähnliches Mittel in eine sichtbare Stellung gerückt wird, um dem Kunden die Controle zu ermöglichen.In the longitudinal direction of the box or its upper cover there is a continuous slot opening or a series of viewing openings, below which each division of the drum disks is to be adjusted as a result of special operation of the display mechanism, while at the same time a display panel E or a similar means is in a visible position is moved to enable the customer to control.

Ein je mit einer Trommelscheibe verbundenes Sperrrad F, dessen Zähne der Anzahl der Theilungen auf dem Scheibenumfang entsprechen, vermittelt die Fortschaltung. Die Zahl der Anzeigescheiben oder Räder richtet sich nach der Zahl der verschiedenen Betragswerthe, die angemerkt und angezeigt werden sollen. So werden bei einer Vorrichtung für Omnibusse vielleicht drei Scheiben nothwendig sein, während für Gasthäuser zwanzig oder mehr erforderlich sein dürften. Der Durchmesser der Scheiben bezw. die Gröfse der auf dem Umfang angebrachten Theilungen bestimmt sich ebenso nach der Zeitlänge, die zwischen den Controlbeobachtungen liegt oder nach dem Geschäftsumsatz. A ratchet wheel F, which is connected to a drum disk and whose teeth correspond to the number of divisions on the circumference of the disk, mediates the switching. The number of display disks or wheels depends on the number of different amounts that are to be noted and displayed. Thus, a device for buses may require three disks, while for inns twenty or more may be required. The diameter of the disks respectively. the size of the divisions attached to the perimeter is also determined by the length of time that lies between the control observations or by the business turnover.

Die Anzeigescheiben erhalten die Drehung durch einen Satz von Hebeln G, deren je einer zu jeder Scheibe gehört. Diese Hebel sind bei H nahe der Grundplatte drehbar gelagert, indem sie auf einer Welle aufgereiht oder mit Zapfen in besonderen Lagern' eingepafst sind.The indicator disks are rotated by a set of levers G, one of which is associated with each disk. These levers are rotatably mounted at H near the base plate by lined up on a shaft or fitted with pins in special bearings.

Claims

The front end of each lever extends forward through the outer housing and carries the key plate or button 7 on which is indicated the amount represented by the respective associated disc. At the far end of the lever there is a counterweight /, and near the pivot point the straight or curved rod K is attached on this side, which carries the pawl L or another switching element at the upper end. On the central main shaft, a rotating ring in connection with a handlebar M is also attached, which engages that shift rod K , whereby the pawl end of the same is guided in such a way that, when the key lever is depressed, the pawl receives the switching movement by engaging the ratchet teeth and advances the disc by one division. After releasing the button, the switch rod goes up and grips a new piece of the toothing corresponding to a division, which is therefore suitable for the next operation

is ready.

The display mechanism is arranged as follows. At the rear of the frame there are longitudinal rails with sleeves or Einpafsgehäusen N , in which vertical light bars O or rails can be moved. These carry at their upper end plates, discs or panels E, in which the values or digits are attached to the key panels corresponding to those on the key panels, in that a rod with a display panel belongs to each key lever.

The lower end of each indicator rod rests on the rear end of the associated key lever, so that when the key is depressed, the indicator rod rises with the rear end of the lever and thus moves the panel into a visible position. The display panel remains in this position until another key lever is pressed, in order to then fall back onto the support surface on the lever as a result of the release, as can be seen from the following device. A latch rail P is mounted on one side at each end of the frame, the outer cutting edge of which engages in one of the two notches Q. Q ¹ , as are cut under one another on each indicator rod. The rod lifted, the lower notch snaps Q. into engagement with the catch rail P and is caught by this; so that the barrier layer is not triggered thereby, that that rail P is temporarily lifted out of another key as a result of pressing of; when the associated indicator rod rises, that first indicator rod therefore falls back into the rest position.

By means of some simple intermediate mechanism every time the key is pressed a bell may be made to sound electrically. The facility described thus serves the purpose of providing a new number every time a key is pressed or division of the indicator disc under the inspection opening and that at the same time the display board moved into the visible position, possibly with the sound of a bell signal will. It follows accordingly that after the indicator disks have been set beforehand to zero each time the incoming amount is to be collected by pressing the relevant buttons, until the relevant disc has completed one revolution or has made the control division on the individual discs which enables the sums received since the last reading to be calculated. If a disk has made a full turn, it is locked by a pawl or something similar falling into a notch Device held against further rotation, while the release is only for the owner or its representative is made possible.

PaτENT claim:

A cash register with a counting and display device moved by keys, in which a drum (D) provided with numerical information on the circumference belongs to each individual key, which is moved indirectly by its key by means of a pawl circuit and is determined after a full rotation.
