To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, HENRY H. Hess and Josnrn F. Penman, citizens of the United States, residing at Mobile, in the county of Mobile and State of Alabama, have invent ed certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Printing and Delivering Transfer-Slips; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it a ppertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for printing and delivering transfer slips on street cars, trains, or the like, and it consists in providing a cheap, simple, and compact apparatus, which may be caused to automatically print and deliver the transfer slips, or coupons, on the same the hour of delivery. Our invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a view of the interior of the casing, with the back removed, the view being taken along the line 1-1 of Fig. 2, and looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 2 shows a section along the broken line 22 of Fig. 1, and looking in the direction of the arrows, shown in elevation. Fig. 3 is adetail showing the clockwork printing disk, and showing the hours; and Fig. t is a section taken along the line et-l of Fig. 3, parts being shown in elevation. v
1 represents a casing, in which a spool 2, carrying roll of paper, is journaled, as on the spindle 3, and braking means applied to said spool, such, for inl, attached to the cover 5, as shown in Fig. 2. The paper strip 6 is drawn between the feed roll 7, and the idler 8, in front of the inking ribbon 9, which inking ribbon is moved by the pinion 10, meshing with the spur wheel 11, driven by the clock spring 12. This pinion 10 meshes with a corresponding pinion 13 on the roll lt, which drives the inking ribbon. A pad 16 is provided in rear of the clock disk 17 and in front of this pad, and between it and the clock disk 17, passes the paper strip 6 and the inking ribbon 9. The clock disk is attached to the inner end of the push button 18, which is normally pressed outward in any convenient way, as by the springs 19.
limit the rotation of stance, as the leaf spring and marking parts being.
Thus it will be seen that when the push button is pushed in, the clock disk having the raised figures thereon, will print the location of the hands relative to the raised numbers on the clock disk. The two hands carry blocks 20 and 21, which make the imprint on the paper strip. The clock mechanism is of any suitable kind, and the clock is intended to run continuously.
The spur wheel 11 meshes with the pinion 22 on the same shaft with the spur wheel 23, which meshes with the pinion 24: on the feed roll 7. This feed roll is provided with two detents 26 and 27, which engage the arm 28 of the bell crank lever 29, which 15 pivoted as at 30, and has its other arm 31 hinged to a link 32, which engages the lug 33, operated. by the push button 18. Pushing in the push button will cause this lug 33 to trip the bell crank lever against the action of the spring 35, and will cause the clock spring 12 to feed the paper strip to the printing device. Any suitable tightening device, such as the tightening roll 36,
may be provided, to keep the printing ribbon stretched. For convenience of arrangement, the clockwork mechanism is preferably carried by the hinged door 37.
The operation of the device is as follows :-The clock being continuously in operation, the hands will pass in front of the strip to be printed and the printing ribbon. Now if the push button 18 is pressed in, the lug 33 will trip the bell crank lever, causing its end to escape the detent 26, and engage the detent 27. This permits the clock disk to be pressed upon the transfer slip while the parts are at rest; and now if the push button be released, the spring 35 will snap the bell crank lever back to the initial position, allowing the feed roll to make a complete revolution, and to feed the paper strip forward after it has been printed. The paper stripmay be torn ofi beneath the bottom of the casing, and the operation may be repeated indefinitely. Thus it will be noted that a device is provided which will print the hour and minute of the day on the paper strip, and will then feed the free end of the strip out through the slot in the casing, permitting the same to be readily detached, when desired.
The clock face may have the numbers run from one to twenty-four, following the conmechanism to indicate the a. m. and p. 111. hours, as shown. Any Well known form of shifting mechanism may be adopted for this purpose, if desired.
It will be obvious that various modifications might be made in the herein described apparatus, and various changes in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, Which could be used Without departing from the spirit of our invention.
driving thus described our invention, What We claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. In an apparatus of the character described, the combination With a casing, of means for carrying a paper strip mounted therein, clock hands and means for driving the same, a push button, and means operated by said push button for printing the clock hands on the paper strip, and spring-oper ated means controlled by said push button for feeding the paper in rear of said push button, substantially as described.
2. In an apparatus of the character described, the combination With a casing, of means for carrying a paper strip mounted tinenta] system. or there may be shifting therein, a push button, clock mechanism and clock hands carried by said push button, means operated by said push button for printing the clock hands on the paper strip, and spring-operated means cont-rolled by said push button for feeding the paper in rear of said push button, substantially as described.
3. In an apparatus of the character described, the combination With a casing, of means for carrying a paper strip mounted therein, a leaf spring carried by said casing and engaging said roll and serving as a brake therefor, clock hands and means for driving the same, a push button, means operated by said push button for printing the clock hands on the paper strip, and springoperated means controlled by said push button for feeding the paper in rear of said push button, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof, We afliX our signatures in presence of two Witnesses.
