REGISTERING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 22, Elsi/t Application filed April 1, 1914. Serial No. 823,808.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, RUFUS V. EAToN and OLLIE U. CHAMBERS, citizens of the United States, residing at -Emmett, in the county of Canyon and State of Idaho, have invented a new and useful Registering Apparatus, of which the following is a specificat] on.

The present invention relates to improvements in registering apparatus, the said apparatus being especially adapted for use in connection with indicating the amounts earned by a single barbers chair, one object of the invention, being the provision of means for retaining and exhibiting the usual customers checks or tablets, such tablets being so displayed as to indicate at a glance, the amount earned in each denomination so that at the end of the day, the aggregate amount for each chair may be readily ascertained without thenecessity of counting the checks or tablets removed from the various mechanisms.

A further object of the present invention is the provision of an ornamental and useful device of this character which in addition to providing a registering mechanism also acts as a holder for the'various instruments, such as razors, scissors and the like used by a barber.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description of the invention proceeds, the invention re sides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the complete apparatus. Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view through one registering receptacle thereof. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of a portion of the check retaining strip. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line H of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the back wall, 2 the intermediate wall, and 3 the end walls, the forward ends of which project forwardly beyond the intermediate wall 2 to constitute a support for the glass partition 15, said partition 15 being provided with a plurality of transparand each column ent strips 16, the presently appear.

The casing formed between the walls or partitions l and 2 are divided into the respective compartments 4 and 6, each of which contains its respective removable razor receiving racks 5 and 7. The intermediate portion is provided with the receptacles 8 for their various articles, as the honor, tweezers and other instruments used by the barber.

Between the partition 2 and the glass plate 15, in the present instance, are provided the vertical compartments 9, 10, ll, 12, 13 and 14, which provide as indicated, the fifteen cent, twenty cent, twenty-five cent, thirty-five cent, forty cent and fifty ccnt' columns for containing the respective checks or tablets T, the lowermost one of which is visible and projects below the lower edge of the plate 15, in ready access to the barber, the lowermost one being removed being filled from the top. The columns are of such shape, that the circular disks or tablets T will assume the position as clearly shown in Fig. 2, so that the forward edge will be tilted to be projected at the proper time below the lower edge of the plate 15 and adjacent the linger recesses 19 of the bottom plate 18.

Each column as indicated in Fig. l is divided into the transparent check exhibiting portion 16 and the registering portion 17, the portion 17 being so partitioned or divided as to exhibit a number which will aline with the check within the column adjacent thereto, such alinement check indicating at a glance the amount earned in each respective column. Thus in the fifteen cent column, as indicated, $2.25 has been earned, while in the twenty cent column, $8.40 has been earned and so on, throughout the series, the fifty cent column being filled, n o checks having been removed therefrom. It will thus be seen that at the end of the day, that the barber or his employee may at a glance of each respective column ascertain exactly what the chair has earned, as the highest check in each column will indipurpose or which will cate the exact amount earned by the chair as particularly described.

\Vhat is claimed is:

1. A device of the character described, including a casing having a plurality of vertical open ended receptacles, the trans 2 open ended receptacles, one to each transposition of the verse width of which is greater than the horizontal depth, each receptacle being adapted to receive a plurality of circular disks, the diameter being slightly less than the transverse width of the receptacle whereby the rear edge of the disk is held higher than the front edge, the lower front end of each receptacle having a disk directing slot by means of which the front edge of the lowermost disk is accessible therethrough to be removed one at a time, and a permanent record strip adjacent each receptacle and carrying one digit for each disk, and whereby a record of the number of disks withdrawn is indicated by the uppermost disk in each receptacle. I 2. A device of the character described, including a casing having a portion of its front transparent, a plurality of vertical parent portion of the front formed in the casing, the transverse width of each receptacle being greater than its horizontal depth, each receptacle being adapted to receive a pllurality of circular disks of substantially t e the eceptacle visible through the transparent portion of the front, the lower front end of each receptacle havingadisk directing slot by means of which one disk at a time may be removed from the receptacle, and a permanent record strip adjacent each iame. diameter as the transverse width of transparent portion of the receptacle and circular disks of greater diameter than the horizontal depth of the receptacle, the lower front end of said receptacle being provided with a disk directing slot by means of which one disk at a time may be removed from the receptacle, and a permanent record strip adjacent the transparent portion of the receptacle and carrying one digit for each disk, whereby a record of the number of disks withdrawn from the receptacle is indicated by the uppermost disk in the receptacle.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own, we have hereto afiixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
