R. H, HELSEL. TICKET DISPENSING MACHINE.
APPLICATION FILED OCT. 20, 1917.

UNITED snares arana opinion.
REUBEN H. HELSEL, 0]? LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGN- MENTS, TO THE AUTOMATIC TICKET SELLING AND CASH REGISTER COMPANY, OF
NEW YORK, N. Y., A. CORPORATION.
TICKET-DISPENSING MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May at, rare.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that T, REUBEN H. HELsEL, a citizen of the United States, and a. resident of Long Island City, Queens county, New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ticket-Dispensing Machines, .designed to issue tickets serially from a strip of tickets each time the machine is caused to operate.
The object is to provide a machine of this class which is very simple in its construction, certain in its operation, and which will automatically adjust itself so that the tickets will be issued in serial order, and the tickets cutfrom the strip along their proper line of severance.
Another object is to so construct the machine that the tickets will be fed serially and properly severed should the ticket strip become disarranged in the machine without destroying more than one ticket.
Other-objects will appear from the hereinafter description and claims.
The present invention is an improved and simplified construction of ticket dispensing mechanism and can be used in amachine such as I have illustrated in my application, Serial No. 175,474, filed June 8th, 1917.
In the drawings accompanying and form ing a part of'this specification, wherein the preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated, the same reference characters are used to designate the same parts in the various views:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the machine embodying my invention set in a counter or table support;
Fig. 2 is an end elevation, viewed in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a section on line 33 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a plan of a section of a stamp of tickets, consisting in this instance of three tickets.
set or fit against the underside of the plate 11 and to whichthey are secured by the bolts 13. The main operating shaft 16 is journaled at l6and 16 in the side plates 14 and 15', and splined to this shaft is a lever 17, having three arms 18, 19 and 20 integrally connected with each other. One end ofa spring 22 is secured at 21 to the lever 19 and the other end of the spring is secured to a stud 23 fixed to the plate 14 as shown. The end 24 of the ,arm 20 is a sector of an arc, the radius of which is drawn from the center of the shaft 16, and the outer surface 24 is serrated at 25, and so constructed and arranged as to engage with the free end of the pawl 26, which is pivoted at 27, the pawl being normally held in a vertical position by means of a spring 28 secured at the. other end 29, which spring is secured at the other end to a fixed stud 30 on the plate 14. This construction insures the motion in each direction being completed, and thereby prevents a partial or incomplete operation. To the end of the arm 18 is pivoted a rod 32 at 31, which rod 32 may be suitably secured to either a foot lever, a hand lever, or the core of a solenoid (not shown) as will be easily understood in order to reciprocate the rod 32, to rock the lever 17 and shaft 16 for the purposes hereinafter described.
I also spline or otherwise rigidly mount upon the shaft 16 the hub of a lever 35 between plates 14 and 15, the said hub being of the bell crank type, which has arms 36 and 40 projecting therefrom. A feeding lever 38, provided with a projecting finger 39 at its free end for engaging the holes 0 of the tickets T, is pivoted at 37 to the free end of the arm 36.
To the other arm 40 which projects from the hub of the lever 35 is arm 42 having a notch 43 in the underside thereof. This arm -42 has attached to its free end at 44 a spring 45, the other end of the spring being secured at 46 to an arm 47 rigidly secured to and projecting from the lever arm 36. Studs or pins 48 and 49 project from the side of the arm 38 between which will reciprocate the-arm 42-, the notch 43 of which engaging on either side with the stud 48 during the reciprocation of the arm 42 between the studs. A pin or stud 50 also projects from the lever 38 and engages on either side of a curved lug 51 during ivoted at 41 an.
ing in the direction of the arrows shown in Fig. 3. A fixed curved plate 52 over Y spectively on each side of the slot 53. The
l5 the end of the lever .56, said lever being arms 54 are respectively pivoted at 55 to journaled at 57 to the plates 14 and 15, and
provided at 58 with a free end so the lever may be operated by hand pressure. A
spring 59, situated between afixed lug 60 and the lever 56, normally holds the fingers 54 against the strip of tickets, whlch, as has been stated, rests against and is fed over the plate 52.
I also spline or otherwise rigidly secure to the. shaft 16 the armsv 61 and 62 at 63 and 63. At the upper ends of the arms is a pin 64 to which is pivoted one end of the plate 65, to the other end of which is provided a knife blade 66. The plate 65- has a spring 67 secured to its underside 68, the other (end of the spring being secured at 69 to a lug on the hub of the lever 35. The
knife blade 69 is fitted at its sides in suitable tracks or ways 69' and.69 scored into the upper sides of the plates 14 and 15. A fixed knife blade 70 to operatively cQ-act with' the movable blade 66 is secured to the upper portions of the plates 14.and 15 as shown, the knife edge of which is situated just at one side of the free end of plate 52.
V A cover 71 is pivoted at 72 so that a slot 73 which are splined thereto;
may be normally closed through which slot the tickets are fed.
In the operation of the machine the 'connecting rod'32 is reciprocated by any 'of the mean above specified, thus causing a rock-" ingmovement of the shaft and the levers The pawl 26, pivoted at 27, requires a continuous movement thereof until the lever 18, which is normally held against the stop 33, strikes the lower stop 34, at which point the pawl 26 will be freed from the sector 24. This movement of the shaft and levers will also cause the movable knife edge to be drawn away from the, fixed knife edge, and the lever 38 will be moved upwardly, the stud 5O engaging the upper surface of the curved 111 51.
%7Vhen the tickets are in normal position, the fingers 39, when in the position as shown in Fig. 3,will enter the hole O of a ticket and will move the strip of tickets a distance which is sufficient to feed a. ticket out of the slot 73. When the feeding lever .has
finished the feeding movement, the ticket, will be in a position to be severed by the knife blades 66 and as shown.' Should the ticket strip be out of properposition, the end of the lever 39 will move up underneath the ticket until it engages the hole 0 of the ticket and will continue to feed the ticket strip throughout the rest of it's movement. This will cause'a ticket to be severed at the proper place across the line adjoining the ticket.
The parts as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 are in the positions which they assume when the machine is ready for operation. As just described, the knives are opened and the ticket strip is fed by positive movement of the foot or hand of the operator or by the movement of the core of the solenoid when engaged by a switch push button in circuit with the coil. After the completion of the feeding, the rod 32 i released, and the parts controlled by it will resume their position by the force of the spring 22 thereby causing the knives to come together to sever the ticket, and the feed lever 38 to be moved downward to take its position at the lower end of the slot 53 and into the hole 0 of the next ticket. equal to the length of a ticket, so that during one operation a single ticket is fed and severed from the strip.
The length of the slot 53 is The curved guiding. member 51 is so situated that the pin 50 carried by the strip feedinglever 38 will move along the upper surface of the guide when the feed member is positively moved upward and along the under surface of the guide when said member is moved downward by the spring 22.
It is to be understood the drawings and the above description are merely illustrative and the invention is not to be limited in any respectlexcept as designated in the subjoinedclaims. I Having thus described and explained my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent: 3
