520,746. Ticket punches. HUSSEY, J. K. Oct. 31, 1938, No. 31388. [Class 106 (iii)] A toy ticket punch in which the punch moves across a ticket receiving space and is operated by a lever which also actuates a bell and if desired, an indicator showing the number of tickets punched, comprises a punch-actuating lever directly connected to a sliding punch for the operation thereof, in combination with a bellstriking device comprising a striker member mounted upon a pivoted arm carrying a pivoted trip pawl normally held against a stop by a spring and having a nose part which is directly engaged by the punch-actuating lever during the punchoperating movement thereof so as to move back the arm and striker member until the said lever clears the nose and trips the pivoted arm, which is then moved forward by its spring to cause the bell-striker member to strike the bell, whereas during its return movement the lever moves the pawl idly away from its stop and wipes past the same. Each depression of lever 16 moves indicator disc 20 one step through the action of projection 24 on notches 22, the disc being held against reversal by detent 23 while moving axially against spring 25 on the return of lever 16. Lever 161 also depresses spring influenced lever 27 which operates the punch 9 and which carries a lug 32 which bears on the nose 46 of spring influenced trip pawl 43 pivoted on lever 33 to push it against its stop 45 and hence to rock lever 33 about its pivot 34. When the lug 32 clears the nose 46, lever 33 is returned by spring 40 until arrested suddenly by stop 42 causing the striker 35 to be thrown forward to ring the bell 38. The striker is returned to normal position by its light spring 39. On releasing the lever 16, the lug 32 engages the underside of pawl 43 and turns it idly until it has wiped past the nose 46.
