Description

Cash register or accounting machine It is a cash register or accounting machine known in which a receipt and a registration strip on the the same printing point one after the other with the individual amounts and with the Offset sums are printed, while the dependent individual items of Offsetting processes can only be printed on your receipt. With this well-known Facility must always print a receipt for a set-off process will. If this did not happen, then all the individual items and the total would be added in the same line of the registration strip, which is only self-employed when introducing Individual amounts and when adding a sum by one line spacing further is switched, come on top of each other for the imprint and thus be illegible.

According to the invention, a Correct printing of the registration strip can be achieved. The invention consists in that by the printing unit either on the one serving as a control strip Register strips either only the individual amounts and the sums to be added or also the dependent line items of multi-item transactions are printed will. So z. B. depending on the check issuance by the printing unit The imprint on the control strip should be made in such a way that when the check is issued only the independent individual amounts and the offset sums, if the Check issuance, on the other hand, also includes dependent line items from multi-item transactions to be printed.

The cash register's keypad is made up of five rows of Amount keys 70 (Fig. I), a sixth, from the transaction type keys 71 and the Operator keys 72 existing key row, a seventh, the partial amount key 73 and the single amount or sum key 74 comprehensive key row as well as the with Sum pulling the setting lever 75 to be used together. When registering individual amounts and partial amounts, the use of keys 7o to 73 or 74 is sufficient, while for Pulling individual, final or subtotals of the levers 75 adjusted accordingly must become.

The buttons 73, 74 (Fig. 3) serve as release buttons and are with each provided with a pin 117 protruding on both sides, the one from the left side of the machine calculated from, initially with a single amount and sum printing the printing device for the segment 475 influencing the consecutive number, still with a locking rocker io8 and thirdly cooperates with a rocker which is used to release the machine. The locking rocker io8 is used to set the transaction type and seller keys 71, 72 Registering partial amounts hold down to hold these keys down to have to depress each checkout anew, if one of several partial amounts comprehensive sale is to be registered. Should this be done, i. H. should several Partial amounts or multiple items belonging to a sale and their total are registered the partial amount key 73 is to be depressed while, when the sale includes only a single item, the individual amount key 7 4 depressed must become. The use of this button 74 is also required when pulling a sum after the lever 75 has been set to start the cash register.

The check conveyor device comprises an unwinding roller 655 (Fig. 2, 4, 6, 8, io), from which the check strip is fed through a check guide 658 (Fig. 8) to the conveyor roller pairs 66o, 661 and 662, 663, in order to then pass through a guide 664 to be directed onto the cutter block 665 of the cutter. With two further guides 67o, 671 (Fig. 8) of the knife block, the end of the check strip is finally placed under the hammer head 55: a. and the control strip 541 pushed in order to be printed here by means of the upper set of type wheels. At the same time, the check slip is pressed against a cliché plate 676 fastened in the machine frame by means of two bolts 677 (Fig. 10, 12), with the aid of a pressure plate 672 (Fig. 12), the arms 674, 675 of which can be rotated around the bolt 551.

As already indicated, the check strip is fed through the two pairs of conveyor rollers 66o, 661 and 662, 663- (Fig. 12), their counter-pressure rollers 661, 662 by means of an adjustment device known per se from the conveyor rollers 66o, 663 can be withdrawn if the check slip is not fed or a new check slip is to be inserted.

When registering an amount consisting of several sub-items, the check slip for printing the first sub-item is advanced so far that its front end comes under the printing plate 672 (Fig. 8), while the individual print lines are used to print the following sub-items and their total are only separated from each other by the usual line spacing. After a multi-item total or an independent individual amount has been printed on the check slip and this has been cut off, it is ejected from the machine by means of the ejection device. In the exemplary embodiment, a single-amount check differs in its extent from a multi-item check in that it is longer by the number of line spaces for the individual partial amounts or items. The following device is used to advance the check strip: On the inner end of the conveyor rollers 66o, 663 a gear wheel 701 or 702 (Fig. 17, 18) is attached, which meshes with the gear wheel of the other roller. The roller 66o also has a hub-shaped extension 705 (FIG. 17), on which a gear 703 is rotatable and a second gear 704 with pins 7o6 is fixed. The gears 703, 704 engage in two side-by-side rotatable gears 707, 708 (Fig. 15) mounted on a pin 709 (Fig. 15), which are connected to each other by a coupling gear 710 (Fig. 15) of appropriate width to achieve a long check strip feed can be coupled. The coupling wheel 710 can be rotated on the pin 71i of an angle lever 712 which is fastened on a shaft 713 that can swing in the printing unit frame. A toothed wheel 714, which meshes with the toothed wheel 707, can be rotated on this by means of a hub 7i5 (Fig. 15, 15), while a second, smaller toothed wheel 716 of the hub 715 meshes with a toothed wheel 717 rotatable on a shaft 6o5. A five-part star switch 718 (Fig. 12) is also attached to the hub of this gear wheel 717, the radial cutouts of which interact with two pins 719 of a disk 720 , which is connected to the by means of a hub 721 (Fig. 7) and by tongue and groove connections Shaft 371 is longitudinally displaceable, but must participate in the rotation.

If the parts just mentioned are in the position shown in Fig. 7, a long check strip feed takes place, as the disc 72o then acts on the star switch 718 through its pin 719 (Fig.1z) in such a way that it rotates clockwise and also in this case the gear 717 rigidly connected to it takes with it. This in turn rotates the gears 716 and 714 in the counterclockwise direction, with the result that the gear 707 and, through the coupling wheel 71o, also the gear 708 (Fig. 6, 18) rotate a corresponding angle in the clockwise direction. Since the gears 707, 708 also mesh with the gears 703 (Fig. 15) and 704 (Fig. 17, 18), they are driven in the counter-clockwise direction, the gear 703 driving the with the printing hammer 672, 673, 67d., 675 interacting with the cliché 676 (Fig. 12), while the gear 704 (Fig. 17) by means of the pins 7o6 the gear 70, and thus the conveyor rollers 66o, 663 (Fig. 12) drives and thereby causes the check slip advance.

The printing unit is located in the front part of the cash register and is attached to the base plate of the machine by means of a front frame 365, an intermediate frame 366 and a rear frame 367 (Figs. -2, 7). The drive of the printing unit takes place in a known manner from the main drive shaft 62. The type wheels are made up of four date printing wheels 441 (Fig. 26), which are set by means of the manual setting device 442 to 444, five type wheels 445 for printing the serial number, which are driven by the pawl gear 448, 449, which is under the influence of the individual amount key 74 (Fig. 1o), some special type wheels 416 (Fig. 26) and the amount type wheels. The pawl mechanism 448, 449 (Fig. 1o) is driven by a toothed segment d.54, an arm 456 rigidly connected to it (Fig. 12) and a push rod 457, in whose open slot 458 the pin 459 of an arm 46o engages, which is moved by a shaft 461, an arm 462 (Fig. 8), a push rod.: f.63 and a cam washer 467 from the printing unit shaft 371.

When printing partial amounts (key 73) the device is used for printing the serial number, unless the device for the check slip feed is turned off, turned off automatically in a manner to be described in more detail. In addition, when dependent individual items are introduced, the increment the numbering device are interrupted. This is done in the following way: Pressing button 73 (Fig. 3) turns segment 475 in a counter-clockwise direction turned. A rod 48o is articulated on the pivot aria of segment 475, which has a slot 48i at its lower end. This slot 481 engages Pin 482 of an arm 483 rotatable loosely on the shaft 3o8. A second pin 484 of the arm 483 is encompassed by an arm 486 fastened on the shaft 487. On the An arm 488 is also attached to shaft 487 (Figs. 12, 15), which is carried by a rod 489 is connected to an angle lever 490 fastened on the shaft 491. The Winkellebel 490 is connected to the push rod d-57 by a rod 493. With the help of this Rod 457 is rotated clockwise and the coupling with the pin 459 (Fig. 12), when the button 73 is pressed, the device is canceled to print the serial number automatically when this key is pressed switched off. If, on the other hand, button 74 (Fig. 3) is pressed, its pin occurs 117 into the radial slot 476 of the segment 475, adjusts the push rod 457 therefore not.

The control strip 541 (Fig. 4, 8, 10, 12) runs from the unwinding roller 542, which is rotatable on a pin 543 of the frame 366, over a guide roller 544, over the bolt 548 of two arms connected by a bridge 550 and rotatable around a shaft 551 5.1.9, then under the pressure bar 552, 553 of the hammer head 554, around this and finally via a guide roller 555, which rotates around the pin 556 of a lever 557 pivotable about a pin 558 of the frame 366, to the take-up roller 559, which is driven in a known manner to cause the strip feed.

The last lines of print on the control strip are made visible through a window opening 59o (Fig. 1) in the cash register housing. In order to guide the last printed line under this window opening, which is quite far away from the printing point, the control strip is given an additional movement after each print in addition to its step-by-step advance in a known manner, so that before the start of the next print, up to the line spacing at the printing point to be returned, where the imprint is made on your control strip in a manner that has yet to be explained. In order to set further handwritten comments under the respective last print line is next to the window opening 590 covering glass sheet a tabular palm rest provided 6o8 (Fig. I), which is separated from said wafer by a sufficiently wide slot 6o9 below which as The plate 61o, which serves as a writing pad and is attached to the hammer head 554 (Fig. 8), is provided. The handwritten additions can of course only be made if the line spacing is increased accordingly. The device used for this is known and therefore does not require a detailed description.

The upper pressure device is designed as follows: A lever arm 623 rotatable on the shaft 55 i (Fig. 12) and rigidly connected to one arm 549 of the pressure hammer frame is connected by a link 624 to a double-armed lever 625 , which is rotated around a bolt 626 the frame 365, 366 is rotatable and cooperates with cams 629, 63o of the shaft 6o5 by sliding rollers 627, 628 (Fig. 14). A star switch 631 (FIG. 13) is also attached to the shaft 605 , with the notches 632 of which the pins 633 and 808 of a disk 634 arranged on the shaft 371 can interact.

The disk 634 is now rigidly connected to the indexing disk 720 (Fig. 2, 7) for the check strip feed through a hub 72 i (Fig. 13), so that the two disks are moved together.

The check slip conveyor can be operated by a hand-operated, facility described below are completely turned off, so that during an operation comprising a partial or a single amount registration no check is issued to the machine. In this case it takes place at only a single stroke of the print hammer 549, 554, the one Imprint from the upper type wheels on the control strip 541. is on the other hand, the conveyor device for the check slip is effective during the for the registration of partial amounts serving operations of the print hammer 5-f9, 55s is also only moved once into the printing position, which then only results in a Imprint on the check slip is effected. Only for individual and total entries the print hammer performs two strokes, the first of which is used to print the Check strip and the second after ejecting the cut end of the check strip causes the control strip to be printed.

If the disk 634 (Fig. 13) is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction while it is being driven, then, depending on whether the pin 633 alone or also the pin 8o8 comes into engagement with the star switch 631, it will advance by one or two divisions in a clockwise direction switched, which has the consequence that the cam disks 629, 630 are rotated by the same angle. As a result, with each partial rotation of the cam disks, the lever 625 initially swings out in a clockwise direction and then returns to its rest position by an opposite rotation. By turning it clockwise, the arms 623 and 549 are also swung out in the same direction by means of the handlebar 624 (Fig. 1a), so that the pressure bar 552 is pressed against the respective overhead type series of type wheels and a corresponding imprint on the control strip or your check slip or also is effected on both. The counter-pointer movement of the lever 6z5 then returns the parts mentioned to their rest position each time. In order to prevent untimely movement of the printing device, the hollow edge cutouts of the star switch 631 usually lie against the circumference of a smaller disk connected to the disk 634 (Fig. 13), the hollow edge cutouts 636 of which then, when the star switch 631 is switched on, its tips 635 allow passage.

Under certain circumstances, the business day, the serial number, the seller's reference and the type of transaction reference should not be printed on the check slip. For this purpose, the print bar 552 is divided into three sections, of which the outer, 552d (Fig. 29), the imprint of the business day, the middle, 552a that of the serial number, the seller and the type of transaction and the inner, 552Q, causes the amount to be printed. The amount is always printed on the check slip, provided that its conveying device is effective, while the other prints can be prevented by the fact that the printing bar sections 552, 552d used for this do not come into effect. The business day is never printed on the control strip, which for this purpose is so narrow that it does not extend over the entire set of type wheels. The serial number and the `` seller '' as well as the type of transaction are always printed on the control strip, provided this is printed, regardless of whether individual amounts, `` bearing amounts '' or their sums are printed. The pressure movement of the middle pressure strip section 552c is brought about by the control strip conveyor device in the following way: The U-shaped socket 553 of the middle pressure strip section 552, like the pressure strip section 552d, is provided with a piston 637 (Fig. 10, 27), which is in a Bore of the hammer head 554 is slidable and provided with a slot 638 in which the rounded end of an arm 639 (Fig. 29) engages. This is mounted on a shaft 64o which is rotatable in the arms 549 and is provided at the inner end with an arm 641 (Fig. 28). This engages by means of a pin 642 through a slot in the arm 623 into the slot 643 of a slide 644 (FIGS. 28, 29) which can slide on the shaft 551. The right end of the slide 644 according to FIG. At the other end, the slide 644 (FIG. 15) is connected to a link 648 which is articulated on a lever 649 which can be rotated about the pin 54.3. This interacts by means of an arcuate slot 652 with the sliding roller 65o of an arm 651, which is rigidly connected to the arm 564 used for control strip switching. As soon as this is rotated in the counter-pointer direction to advance the control strip in a manner to be explained, the arm 651 also swings out in the same direction. The roller 65o gives the lever 649 a clockwise rotation so that the handlebar 648 and the slide 644 are moved to the right (FIGS. 15, 28). Due to the interaction of the slot 6.43 and the pin 642, the arm 641, the shaft 640 and the arm 639 are rotated clockwise, so that the piston 637 together with the U-shaped socket 553 is lowered and thus the middle pressure strip section 55-2c for running Number, salesperson and business type characters is moved to its working position. By returning the control strip conveyor device to the rest position, the printing strip section 552 is then also moved back again in the same way.

Fig. 23 shows part of the control strip after it has been printed. The first column of numbers on the left represents the serial number of the registrations that The next vertical column is the salesperson's mark, and then the following column of characters the transaction type symbols and the fourth column the amounts, while those in the In the extreme right column printed words "Total" the numbers to the left mark as sums. When registering a separate individual amount (s. sequential number: 17 148 and 17 149) as well as the partial amounts of a sum (see sequential Number: 1715i and 1, ~ r52) the word "total" is not printed.

When printing partial amounts, as shown in Fig. 22, all other additions are expediently omitted on the check slip. It is therefore unnecessary to activate the two sections 552d and 552, of the print bar 552, which interact with the type wheels used to print the business day, the serial number, the seller and the type of transaction. As will be remembered, the middle pressure bar part 552 of the upper pressure hammer 554, 549 (Fig. 10) is usually in a raised position in order to be able to move through the action of the drive cam disk 570, 579 (Fig. 15, 19) and the lever 567 (Fig. 15 ) of the control strip conveyor at the given instant. The lever 567 has a side arm 8o1, the hook-shaped end 8o2 of which interacts with a pin 8o.4 (Fig. 2, 15) which is provided with a cutout 8o3 and can be moved laterally in a manner to be explained. The pin 8o4 is in the position shown in Fig. 2 position, that is, the cutout 803 in the path of the lever 567, 801, 802 (Fig. 15), this 579 can during the rotation of the drive disc 570, under the action of a Swing freely on the spring acting on it and bring the associated section 552 of the pressure bar 552 into effect. If, however, the longitudinal displacement of the pin 804 moves the cutout 8o3 out of the path of the lever 567, the pin 8o4 lies in front of the holder 8o2 and thereby prevents the lever 567 from swinging out, which thus also does not enter the section 552 of the pressure bar 552 Can set activity. The lateral displacement of the pin 8o4 is effected in the following way: By means of a device which will be described in more detail below, a cam groove disk 725 (Figs. 2, 7, 1o) that can be displaced on the shaft 371 is moved to the right (Fig. 2) when the Partial amount key 73 is depressed and thus the check strip conveyor device is set to a short advance. A fork arm 761 connected to the disk 725 by a hub 762 also moves, which fork arm 761 is rigidly connected by a bracket-like extension 805 to an arm 8o6 which can be displaced on the shaft 568 (Fig. T2). This arm 8o6, which participates in the movements of the disk 725 and the fork arm 761, carries the above-mentioned pin 804, which, as stated, switches off the drive for the central section 552 of the pressure bar 552 when the check slip conveyor is active and the partial amount key 73 is depressed.

The outer pressure bar section 552d causes the imprint of the business day and, like the middle pressure bar section, is usually in an inoperative position. Its drive is derived from the check cutter. One of the arms 819 (Fig. Z7), which carry the cutting knife 82o, which can be displaced in a groove 821 (Fig. 8, 10, 12) of the knife block 665, has an attachment 830 (Fig. 27) which is inserted into the Slot 832 of a slide 833 engages. At its fork-shaped one end it can be displaced on the shaft 551 and at the other end it is connected to a short arm 834 which can be rotated on the shaft 64o. A two-armed lever 835 can also be rotated on the shaft 64o, which is connected to the slide 833 by pin 836 and slot 837 and, with its other arm, controls the piston 637 of the associated pressure bar section 552d in the same way as the arm 639 (Figure 29) . If the arm 8i9 rotates clockwise (Fig. 27) to lower the cutter, the slide 833 moves to the right and rotates the lever 835 clockwise so that the associated pressure bar section 552d comes into effect and the imprint of the business day brings about. If, on the other hand, only partial amounts are printed on the check, the cutting device remains idle, since by pressing the partial amount key 73 the disks 72o, 634 (_, # 1bb. 7) and thus also the cam disks 828, 8.z9 (rigidly connected to them) Fig. 7, ii) of the known cutting device are shifted laterally in such a way that it swings the shaft 818 out of the area of the sliding rollers of the fork lever 826, 827, which swings out the shaft 818 via an arm 8-24 rigidly connected to it, a link 823 and an arm 822 , arrive and thus can no longer act on the drive of the cutting device.

If the check slip is only to be moved forward by one line spacing in order to register multiple item (partial) amounts, the disk 720 (Fig. 7, 12) must be shifted sideways so far that the pegs 719 are no longer in the plane of the star switch 718 reach in and accordingly cannot convey any drive to the conveyor rollers 66o, 663 either. Simultaneously with the disk 720 , the cam groove disk 725 (Fig. 7, io) is also displaced outwards on the shaft 371 in a manner to be explained below, whereby a sliding roller 727 rotatable on the shaft 605 in its cam groove 726 (Fig. Io) two-armed lever 728 occurs. The shorter arm of this lever 728 engages by means of a pin 729 in the slot 730 of a fork-shaped arm 731 which is fastened to the shaft 713, which has already been mentioned and which carries the angle lever 712. The left arm of the angle lever 712 according to Fig. 12, 15 carries a pawl 732, which cooperates with a ratchet wheel 733 (Fig. 12, 15) rigidly connected to the gear wheel 708 (Fig. 6, 18) and under the action of a spring 734 stands. If the cam groove disk 725 (Fig. 10) is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction when the machine is driven, the lever 728 initially swings out in the same direction, causing the arm 731 to turn the shaft 713 first clockwise and then counter-clockwise . Since the angle lever 712 (Figs. 12, 15) also takes part in this movement, the coupling wheel 710 is temporarily decoupled from the gears 707, 708 and at the same time the pawl 732 is advanced so that the ratchet wheel 733 is rotated one pitch further. As a result, the gear wheel 708 (Fig. 6, 18) is also rotated through a corresponding angle, which has the consequence that through. The gear wheel 704, the pins 706 (Fig. 17) and the gear wheels 704 702 and the conveyor rollers 66o, 663 (Fig. 8) are indexed one step so that the check slip advances one line spacing.

As soon as the coupling wheel 710 (Fig. 15) is decoupled from the gears 707, 708 , it is locked by a locking arm 735, which the spring 734 of the pusher pawl 732 punches to rotate constantly in the counterclockwise direction, which, however, is counteracted by the stop of its second arm 736 the shaft 626 is usually held in its uppermost limit position.

The setting of the conveyor device of the check strip for long or short strip feed is carried out by a switching device, which is usually set for long strip feed. The switch to short strip feed takes place automatically by pressing down the partial amount key 73 (Fig. 1, 3), which rotates a shaft 38o in a known manner via the switching mechanism shown in Fig. 3, the tooth segment 353 of which with the teeth 384 of a rack 740 ( ebb. 21) combs. At one end this rack has an incision 741 with which a U-shaped bracket 742, 743 (ibid. 21, 20) cooperates. This can be rotated about a pin 5oi and has a right-angled bend 745 on its one leg which is extended to the left. When the individual amount key 74 is pressed down (ibid. 1, 3), the rack 74o assumes the position shown in Fig.21. If, on the other hand, the partial amount key 73 is depressed, the rack 740 slides so far to the right that the bar 742 of the bracket 742, 743 can collapse into the incision 741. With the bend 745 (ebb. 21, 7) of the bracket 742, 743, a hook-shaped lever 746 (Fig. 2, 20) cooperates, which is articulated on a push rod 747, which by means of a longitudinal slot 74.9 on a pin 7.18 and by means of its fork-shaped left end on the hub 750 of the gear 61 is displaceable. A shoulder 751 of the lever 746 cooperates with a lateral pin 75-2 of the shaft 568, on which a fork arm 753 (ebb. 2, 7, 12) is attached, which engages in the annular groove of a hub 754 connected to the disk 7.20.

If the partial amount key73 is depressed, the notch 741 (Fig.21) of the rack 740 comes to lie under the bar 742 of the bracket 7,4.2, 743 so that it can swing out in the direction of the cursor. The halter-shaped lever 746 provided with a side arm (Fig. 2) can consequently swing out in the counter-pointer direction by means of a spring tension and lie with its shoulder 751 in front of the pin 752. If the push rod 747 is now moved to the right with the sliding roller 755 engaging in the cam groove 756 of the gear 61, the shaft 568 is displaced towards the front of the machine. The fork arm 753 (4bb. 2, 7, 12) takes the disk 720 with it and moves it so far on the shaft 371 that its pins 719 can no longer interact with the star switch 718 and accordingly the long strip feed does not take place.

A skid 758 is arranged on the shaft 568 (ebb. 7, 12 left), a pin 76o of the shaft 568 engages in the screw slot 759 so that it participates in the displacement of the wave (in each direction). The one already mentioned Fork arm 76i, which is longitudinally displaceable with the sleeve 758, but by rotating it is not affected, engages in the annular groove of a hub 762, through which the short strip feed controlling cam groove disc 725 (ebb. 7, io) on the shaft 371 can be moved sideways. When this happens, the sliding roller 727 arrives of the lever 728 for engagement in the cam groove 726, so that when the disc 725 at Drive of the machine turns, the check slip in the already described Way is advanced by one line spacing.

If the conveyor device has been switched to short line feed by pressing button 73 once, it is not sufficient to press button 74 to bring about a long line feed again, since paragraph 751 (Fig. 2) only moves in one direction with pen 752 cooperates. Rather, the sum pull lever 75 must also be set to the set-off sum. This setting rotates a shaft 1025 (ebb. The rod 764 is kept permanently in contact with the pin 765 by a spring 769 and is articulated at its lower end to a hook 763 rotatably connected to the push rod 747. During each checkout, the push rod 747 is first moved to the right and then back into the position shown in FIG. Immediately after the push rod 747 has assumed its right limit position, the shaft io25 is rotated under the control of the lever 75 by the checkout mechanism in the counter-clockwise direction, so that the spring 769 pulls the push rod 764 upwards and thereby the hook 763 in the counter-clockwise direction into the path of the Pin 752 of the shaft 568 brings. If the push rod 747 is now moved to the left (i.e. back) again during the Summenziehv process, it takes the shaft 568 with it, which in this case returns the disc 720 to its starting position by means of the fork arm 753 (ebb. 7, 12) so that it in turn cooperate with the star switch 718 and can bring about a long strip feed at the beginning of the checkout passage used for the first partial amount registration as well as during the next single amount registration. At the same time, however, by shifting the shaft 568 by means of the pin 76o (robb. 7 bottom left) of the sleeve 758 and the fork arm 761, the disk 72s is also moved inwards and thereby disengaged from the sliding roller 727 again, so that the previous short Streffenvorschu.b has been disengaged or made ineffective. The hook 763 (ebb. 2) can only move the shaft 568 in one direction of movement.

The first longer check strip feed during the registration of the first partial amount is due to the fact that the shaft 568 remains in the left position (according to FIG. 2) during part of the machine operation which brings about this registration. Immediately after the first partial amount of a multiple item registration has been printed, the push rod 47 (Fig. 2) moves the shaft 568 to the right in order to remove the pin 719 from the star switch 718 and the disc 725 with the lever 728 (Fig. 10) to engage. The shaft 568 also remains in this position during the following partial amount registrations, so that only a short strip feed by line spacing takes place in these.

When the lever 75 has been moved into the totaling position and the individual amount key 74 has been depressed, the holding 763 is raised, as already described, in the following machine operation which effects the registration of the total of all partial amounts, in order to return the shaft 568 to the left. However, since this shift takes place so late that the disk 720 (Fig. 12) has already rotated 180 ° when the pins 719 get into the path of the star switch 718, this is no longer rotated during the sum drawing process. Furthermore, the lever 728 (Fig.1o) is not swung out here either, since the disk 725 has already disengaged from the pin 727 if its cam groove 726 would cause the lever 728 to rotate and thus the short strip feed. No special strip feed is brought about when adding up the partial amounts, so that the lower edge of the cut check is not wider than the distance between the knife 82o and the pressure bar 552.

If a check is not to be issued, a handle button 770 (Ab @ b. 2, 4, 7) protruding outward through an opening in the cash register housing is removed from its position "An" (check issue) by turning it clockwise by 90 ° into its second position " Ab « (no check issue) moved. The handle knob 770 is mounted on a sleeve 771 which is slidably but not rotatably connected to the end of the sleeve 758 by means of a claw coupling. The mutual engagement of the claws provided at the ends of the sleeves 771 and 758 is ensured by the fact that an arm 772 fastened on a pin 773 (Fig. 2, 4) of the frame 365 with its curved end in an annular groove formed by two rings 774 the sleeve 771 engages. The position of the handle knob 770 illustrated in the drawings is the "on" position (check issue) everywhere. As a result of the quarter turn of the handle knob 770 which is required for disabling the lock, the sleeve 758 is also rotated by the same angle, with the result that the interaction of the screw slot; 59 (Fig. 2, 7) with the pin 76o of the shaft 368 this is moved towards the front of the machine. Through the fork arm 753 of the shaft 568, the disk 720 (Figs. 2, 7, 12) is also taken along so far that (1211-.i its pin 7119 out of the plane of the drive for the device for the long strip feed serving switching star 718; Fig.12) can be withdrawn so that the long strip feed that has taken place up to that point does not occur. On the other hand, since the rotation of the handle knob 770 (Fig. 7) results in a rotation, but not a lateral displacement, of the sleeve 758 and the fork arm 761 connected to it so that it rotates, the coupling that otherwise occurs due to a displacement of the shaft 568 is also omitted d, -r cam washer 725 (Fig. 1o) with the device for line-by-line feed of the check strip. There is thus neither a long nor a line-by-line strip feed, ie no check is issued at all.

So that the cash register can only be activated when the knob 71-0 is actually either in one of the "On" or "Down" positions, sleeve 758 (Fig. 2, 7, 8) a toothed segment 775 is attached, which engages in the toothed segment 776 of a hollow shaft 777 surrounding the shaft 778. The inner end of the hollow shaft 777 bears a circular section 779 (Figs. 2, 7, 12), which cooperates with a bolt 780 that is displaceable in the frame 366 (Fig. 2). This is controlled by a push rod 781 which engages through a pin 782 in the arcuate slot 783 of a lever 784 and is articulated to an arm 785. The lever 784 is connected by a link 786 to the locking lever 170 , which must swing out in the counter-clockwise direction in order to release the machine transmission. The lever 784 is also rotated counterclockwise by the link 786, which furthermore has the consequence that the push rod 781 and thus also the bolt 78o move to the right through the interaction of the arcuate slot 783 with the pin 782, provided that the circular section 779 is not located in the path of the bolt 780 (Figs. 2, 12); whose shape and position are chosen so that it only releases the path of the bolt when the handle knob 770 is set to either "On" or "Down". In any other case, the release of the machine is prevented until the handle knob 770 is turned into one of its two limit positions, in which it is secured by a pawl 787 (Fig. 5). The pawl 787 is articulated to a lug 789 of the frame 365, is under the action of a spring 788 and interacts with two cutouts 79o of a ring 791 fastened on the sleeve 758.

Furthermore, a device is provided which prevents the handle button 77o regulating the issuing of checks from being moved from the "On" position to the "Down" position after the start of a multi-item process until the total has been added and printed on the check. In this way, once a multi-item transaction has been registered, the production of a check with an offset amount is forced. For this purpose, a circular section I 1 57 (Fig. 2, 8) is attached to the sleeve 758 (Fig. 2), which at the beginning of the registration of a partial amount with the shaft 568 and the sleeve 758 forward and under the nose of one on the frame 365 attached approach 1158 is moved. In this position, the circular section 1157, the sleeve 758 and thus also the handle button 770 remain locked until the parts 1157 and 758 are moved back to their starting position with the next total imprint.

To print the check and control strips, the print hammer 549, 554 (Fig. 12) is moved against the type wheel set. On the disk 634 (Fig. 12) belonging to this device, which is displaceable on the shaft 37 by means of a tongue and groove, sits, as already mentioned, in addition to the pin 633, a second, but shorter pin 8o8, which when rotating the Disk 634 also act on the indexing disk 631 and can rotate it by a further pitch, so that the printing hammer 549, 554 has to perform a second printing movement. This always causes the control strip to be printed and takes place immediately after a single amount or partial amount check has been ejected from the machine. If the disks 614 and 720 are moved forward to stop the long strip feed, the shorter pin 808 is withdrawn from the path of the star switch 631. The long pin 633, which is still working together with the ratchet wheel 631, produces only a single imprint, which is made on the check slip. Likewise, when the check strip conveyor is switched off, the star switch 631 is driven only by the pin 633, so that, as in the previous case, an imprint is only made once, but this time on the control strip.

The drive of the printing hammer 672, 673, 674, 675 (fig. 4, 6) interacting with the cliché 676 (fig. Io) takes place in the following way: An arm 8io (fig. 15) can be rotated on the shaft 551 of the printing hammer which is hinged at the other end to a push rod 811 (Fig. 15). This includes the shaft 679 by means of its fork-shaped end and cooperates through a sliding roller 812 (Fig. 16) with a lifting disc 813, which is rigidly connected to a gear 814 of the shaft 679. The gear wheel 814 is driven by the gear wheel 703 (Fig. 16, 17) during a long strip feed and thereby causes a pressure movement of the printing hammer 672 with the help of a spring 8oo, while with a short strip feed the impression of the cliché 676 due to the non-drive of the gear wheel 703 (Fig. Io) is omitted. The printing hammer 672, 673, 674, 675 (Figs. 4, 6) is carried along by engaging a pin 816 (Fig. 15) in a short slot in the arm 81o. If this swings out in the counter-clockwise direction at the beginning of a checkout, a spring 893 pulls the print hammer up until the sliding roller 812 (Fig. 16) passes the tip of the lifting disc 813. The arm 8io is now snapped back by the spring 8oo and thereby also causes the printing hammer 673 to strike against the cliché plate 676 (Fig. Io).

After the printing has taken place, the check is separated from the check strip by the cutting device. Immediately after the separation is complete, the check thus formed is conveyed out of the machine by the ejector device. For this purpose, disks 841 and 846 can be rotated on pins 840 (Fig. 6, 12) or 844 (Fig. 6) of arms 842 or 8: I5 disks 841 and 846, which are roughened on the edge and with similar ones around pin 417 (Fig. 12) rotatable disks 8q.9 interact. The Arine 8q.2, 845 (Fig. 6) can be rotated on pins 843 of a frame attachment (not shown) or on the pin 847 of a support 848. Each of the two disks 849, only one of which is shown in FIG. A ratchet wheel 856 (Fig. 15), which interacts with a pawl 857, is rigidly connected to this. This is rotatable about the pin 858 of a push rod 859, which surrounds the pin 855 by means of its fork-shaped end. A spring 86o, which is tensioned between a shoulder of the push pawl 857 and a hook 861 of the push rod 859, usually presses the push pawl 857 into the toothing of the ratchet wheel 856 is rotatably connected. This can be displaced by means of a slot 866 on a sliding roller 867 surrounding the shaft 371 and engages by means of a sliding roller 868 in a cam groove of the disk 570. A spring 870 tries to pull the push rod 865 continuously to the right. As a result of the counter-pointer rotation of the shaft 371 and the disk 570 , the push rod 865 is initially moved to the left and thus the lever 862 is also rotated in the counter-pointer direction, so that the push rod 859 also moves to the left. As a result of the design of the above-mentioned curved groove, after the check has been torn off towards the end of a checkout, the push rods 865 and 859 quite suddenly return to the position shown in Fig.r5, with the push pawl 857 quickly switching the ratchet wheel 856 one pitch further . A stop 872 cooperating with the edge 871 of the push pawl 857 prevents the pawl from jumping out and a locking pawl 873 prevents the ratchet wheel 856 from rotating backwards. To ensure that the indexing wheel 856 is switched on only when the cutting device has been activated beforehand, a pin of the push pawl 857 interacts with an arm 894 (Fig. 7, 12, 15) in such a way that when the push rod 859 slides to the left , the pawl 857 is withdrawn from the teeth of the ratchet 856. If, however, the cutting device comes into operation, an arm 895, which cooperates with a pin of the lever 824 (Fig. 12), pulls the arm 894 rigidly connected to it back out of the path of the pusher pawl 857 so that it again engages with the ratchet wheel 856 got. The consequent counter-pointer rotation of the indexing wheel 856 has the effect that the conveyor disks 849 are rotated very quickly by 180 ° in the clockwise direction by the gears 85a, 853, 851, 85o, so that the between the disks 849 on the one hand and the disks 841, 846 (Fig 6) on the other hand, the jammed check is ejected and placed on the table surface 875 (Fig. I). In the rest position the conveyor disks 849 assume such a position that one of two flattened edge points 873 (Fig. 12) of each disk are always opposite the disks 841, 846.

The printing of a slip or a receipt (Fig. 24) is done by placing the note on the printing table 877 (Fig. I, 4, 6, 8, io) and printing it using the lower set of type wheels. For this purpose, a pair of arms 878 can be rotated on the shaft 626 (Figs. 4, 7, 8, 1o), which are connected at one end by a web 879 and at the other end by a U-shaped hammer head 89o (Fig. 8) with an inserted pressure bar 891 connected is. A lever 892 is attached to the shaft 626 and is usually pressed against a pin goo of the rear arm 878 by a spring goi. In addition to the print hammer 878, 89o, 891 (Fig. 7), a second print hammer 904, 903, 902 is arranged, which by means of a pin 905 is usually in contact with a lever go6, which is designed like the lever 892 (Fig. 8) and is also mounted on shaft 626. The shaft 626 also carries an arm 907 (FIGS. 7, 8), the sliding roller go8 of which cooperates with a lifting disc gog which is rigidly connected to a gear wheel gio which can be rotated on the shaft 713. The gear wheel gio meshes with a gear wheel 9r i which is rigidly attached to a gear wheel 9i2 which is rotatable on the shaft 6o5 and which engages in a gear wheel 913 which is attached to the shaft 371. If the shaft 371 is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction, the gear mechanism just mentioned also gives the lifting disc gog a counter-clockwise rotation (Fig. 8). Since the crank disc gog suddenly drops, the arm 907, the shaft 626 as well as the levers 892 and go6 (Fig. 7) suddenly turn back in the counter-clockwise direction after a slow clockwise rotation due to the action of a strong spring 914 (Fig. 7, 10) bounced back, which has the consequence that the print hammers 878, 891 (Fig. 8) and 9o4, 9o2 (Fig. 7, 1o), which had lowered by gravity during the clockwise movement of parts 907, 892 and go6, against the lower one Type wheels are struck and thereby cause an imprint on the receipt (Fig. 24).

Several partial amounts are printed on the receipt as follows: A lever 916 is attached to the shaft 491 (Fig. 8, right), around the pin 917 of which two roughened edges are rigidly provided by a hub 92o (Fig. 7) connected disks give, g19 are rotatable. A spring 922 acting on a second arm 921 (Fig to press, for which a roller 899 rotatable on the pin 487 serves as an abutment. Usually, however, the disks are in the rest position (Fig. Io), in which they remain even when printing a sum or just an individual amount. If, however, several partial amounts have to be printed, the spring 922 must come into effect after each printing in order to move the receipt further to the left by one line spacing each time. This switching is effected by the fact that a third arm g23 (Fig. 15) is attached to the shaft 4g1, which is articulated to a push rod g24, the forked end of which encompasses the shaft 380 corresponding to the key bank with the keys 73, 74. A sliding roller g25 of the push rod 924 cooperates with a lifting disk 926 fastened on the shaft 380 (Figs. 3, 15) in such a way that the arms 923 and g16 and thus the disks are usually locked in their rest position. Depending on which of the two release keys 73, 74 (Fig. I) is pressed, the shaft 380 (Fig. 15) and the lifting disc 926 are moved into one or the other position by the switching mechanism of the release key bank. If the button 73 is depressed, the lifting disk 926 adjusts itself in such a way that the sliding roller 9.25 of the push rod 924 falls into an edge cutout 927 (Fig. 15) under the action of the spring 922 (Fig. 15) and accordingly also the arm 921, the shaft 491, the arm g16 and thus the disks give gig can follow the course of the spring 922. The disks g18, gig get into the working position required to advance the receipt and remain in this position for as long as partial amounts are to be printed. If the individual amount key 74 is depressed, the lifting disk 926 (FIG. 15) is adjusted in such a way that the sliding roller 925 continues to rest against the circumference of the disk, with the result that the disks remain in their rest position. When printing individual amounts and sums of partial amounts, the receipt is not advanced.

The setting of the disks in the working position takes place at the beginning of each checkout process used to register a partial amount, and this setting is maintained until the total of these partial amounts is printed. Each time a partial amount is printed, the receipt slip is shifted one line spacing to the left by briefly turning the disks g18, gig in the opposite direction (Fig.8, io, 15). The rotation of the disks g18, 91g is effected by an arm 930 (Fig. 8) which is rotatable on the pin 917 and is articulated by a pin g31 to a push rod 932 (Fig. 8), which is at the other end through the pin 933 an arm 934 rotatable on the shaft 491 is driven. The pin 933 at the same time also carries a second, considerably longer push rod 935, which engages the pin 936 of an arm 937 that can rotate about the shaft 713. This in turn is driven by a push rod 938 (Fig.8, 9) which is displaceable on the shaft 371 and engages with a sliding roller 939 in a cam groove 94o of the disc mounted on the shaft 371 467th If the disk 467 is rotated clockwise (Fig. 9), the push rods g38, 935 are moved to the right according to Fig. 8 and thereby the arm 934 is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction, so that the arm 930 in Counter-pointer direction is swiveled out. A spring-loaded pinch roller 941 of the arm 930 cooperates with a cutout 942 of the arm 930 and the inner circumference of the disk gig that, when the arm 93o rotates in the opposite direction, the disk gig is carried along by the wedging pinch roller 941 so far that the receipt slip shifts one line space to the left. If, on the other hand, the arm 930 is moved back again, ie in a clockwise direction, through the cam groove 94o (Fig. G) and the push rods 938, 935, 932 (Fig. S), the pinch roller 941 is not wedged and there is no entrainment the disc 91g instead.

When printing partial amounts, only these, but not also the business day, the serial number, the seller's or other symbols are printed on the receipt (Fig. 24). For this purpose, the print hammer 878, 890, 891 (Fig. 7, 8), which causes the printing of the business day, etc., is usually kept locked so that it can only be used when printing a sum and an individual amount. The outer of the two arms 878 (Fig. 8) has a downwardly directed extension 945 which interacts with a locking arm 948 fastened to the sleeve 946 (Fig. 10) of a shaft 947. As long as this locks the pressure lever 878, 890, 891, the pressure lever cannot follow the clockwise movement of the lever 892 and thus cannot participate in its sudden return. The effectiveness of the pressure lever 878, 891 is brought about by the same device that also activates the middle, upper pressure bar section 552c. As you can remember, this is only ineffective as long as the hook 8o2 (Fig. 15 left) of the lever 567 interacts with a part of the bolt 8o4 that has not been cut out. But since, as mentioned, the bolt 8o4 is shifted by pressing the single amount or sum pull key 74 so that its cutout 8o3 comes to lie in the path of the hook 8o2, the lever 567 in this case can initially be controlled by the cam groove disc 570, 579 swing clockwise and then swing back in the opposite direction. The lever 567 has a downwardly directed arm 949 (fig. 12, 15; 19) which is connected to an arm 951 of the sleeve 946 by a long push rod 95o. With the clockwise oscillation of the lever 567, the push rod 95o moves to the left and thereby swings out the arms 951 and 948 (Figs. 4, 8) connected by the sleeve 946 in the same direction. The locking arm 948 thus releases the projection 945 and thus the pressure lever 878, 89o, 891 so that it can produce an impression. Towards the end of the checkout aisle, the lever 567 swings back in the counter-pointer direction, whereby the pressure lever 878, 89o, 891 is blocked again by means of the mentioned gear parts until the individual amount key 7a is pressed. depressed again.

If no receipt is inserted into the machine, not only the pressure lever 878, 89o, 891, but also its neighboring lever 904, 903, 902 (.gbb. 7, 1o) are kept locked. For this purpose, a lever 953 can be rotated on a pin 952 (FIG. 4), which lever engages over the pin 95: I of a push rod 955 by means of a fork-shaped attachment. This interacts through a sliding roller 956 with a cam disk 957 fastened on the shaft 371 and is continuously pulled to the right by a spring 958. The right end of the push rod 955 is articulated on an arm 959 attached to the shaft 947. The lever 953 has the shape of a wide U and has an upright, free leg 96o, which usually assumes the position according to FIG. When the cam 957 rotates in the opposite direction, the push rod 955 is moved to the right by the spring 958, with the result that the lever 953, 96o is swung out in the opposite direction by the pin 954, provided that there is no receipt on the table top 877. Two locking arms 961 and 962 attached to the shaft 947 and therefore participating in the rotation of the arm 959 lie under the shoulders 9, 45 and 963 (gbb. I o) of the two lower pressure levers and thereby lock them. Towards the end of one revolution of the cam disk 957 (Fig. 4), the cam pushes the push rod 955 to the left again, with the result that the locking arms 961 and 962 move out of the path of the lugs 94.5 and 963 (Fig. 1o) and the the lower pressure lever can thus be released again. If, on the other hand, a receipt is inserted into the machine, the leg 96o (Fig. 4) of the lever 953 rests against the underside of the receipt and thereby prevents the parts 955, 959, 947, 961 and 96z are moved by the spring 958 into the position required to lock the two lower pressure levers.

Another safeguard against unintentional effectiveness of the lower pressure device if the receipt is not inserted is through the following facility described created.

An arm 965 is attached to the shaft q.61 (Fig. 4, bottom right), around the pin 967 of which a pawl 966 loaded by the spring 968 can be rotated. A slide 969, which is usually held in the position according to FIG. 4 by a spring 971, is mounted on the shaft 947 on the one hand and a pin 97o of the lever 959 on the other. As mentioned, the shaft 461 is rotated first in the counter-clockwise direction and then in the clockwise direction, but its counter-pointer movement only takes place after the lever 953, 96o has swung out in the counter-pointer direction in order to scan an inserted document. If there is a receipt in the machine, when the shaft 461 rotates in the opposite direction, the pawl 966 lies in front of a side pin 972 of the slide 969 and thereby prevents the lever 959 connected to the slide by the pin 970 from swinging in the opposite direction by the spring 958 and the push rod 955 is pulled to the right. The two pressure levers 878, 89o, 891 and 9o4, 903, 902 (Fig. 7) can therefore no less t through the locking arms 961 (1l) b. 4) or 96z (Fig. Io) come into effect. After the pressure has been applied, the shaft 461 is rotated clockwise and returns with the pawl 966 to the position shown in Fig. 4.

If, on the other hand, there is no receipt in the machine, the leg 96o swings through the opening provided for it in the printing table 877 so far up that the action of the spring 958 swings the lever 959 correspondingly far and the locking arms 961, 962 (Fig . 4, 10) are guided under the lugs 945, 963 of the pressure lever. The slide 969 swings out so far upwards that the pawl 966 can swing freely on the pin 972 when the lever 965 moves in the opposite direction. Shortly after the push rod 955, the lever 953 and the slide 969 have returned to their rest position, the arm 965 together with the pawl 866 swings back into the position according to Fig. 4, the pawl by the pin 972, which has meanwhile moved back into its starting position is swung out against the action of the spring 968 in the counter-clockwise direction, in order to finally resume their rest position.

The machine works in the following way: Assuming that a cash sale made by the seller:> E "and made up of three partial amounts 1 # 5.00, 71.00 and 42.50 is to be registered (Fig.

and a check is issued and a receipt (receipt slip) is printed. For this purpose, after pressing the amount keys 7 o corresponding to the first partial amount (Fig. I), first ground the cash payment key 71 in the row of special keys, then the corresponding clerk key; 2 and finally the partial amount key 73 is depressed to thereby release the machine transmission. In the same way, the partial amounts 71.00 and 42.0o are registered, namely by printing on the check slip and receipt, but not on the control strip, whereupon the setting lever 7 5 moves to the next notch below its center position and the individual amount key 74 is depressed, which also results in the release of the machine transmission.
