PHILIP J. MITTEN, .OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
MILEAGE, 0R LIKE TICKET.
Specification of Letter s lPatenta Patehted July 27, 1920,
Application filed November 2, 1918. Serial No. 260,343.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PHILIP J; MITTEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania have invented a certain new and useful Mileage or like Ticket, of which the following is a specification.
The principal'objects of the present invention are, first, to provide a sufliciently long strip of easily audited coupons in the form of a roll inclosed' in a case or box small and compact enough to be conveniently carried, even in a cash pocket, and which may be of inexpensive material and manufacture, and from which thestrip can be conveniently and manually fed to present the required number of coupons without danger of over-feeding the strip or of releasing it and by which the coupons so presented can be torn off or detached, and second, to provide for preventing accidental retrograde movement of the strip in consequence of which it might disappear in the case or box. r
Other objects of the invention will appear from the following description and the invention will be claimed at the end hereof but one embodiment of the'invention will be first described in'connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof and in which- Figure 1, is a perspective view drawn to a much enlarged scale ofa device embody ing features of the invention.
Fig. 2, is a similar view ofparts ofthe device disassembled. I
Fig. 3, is a central sectional view drawn to a smaller scale yet much larger than the deviceneed bee I Fig. 4:, is a transverse sectional View of the overlapping portions of the cylindrical sections taken at a point where the ticket strip is exposed and at about the point indicated by the leader of the reference letter 16 in Fig. 3, and r Fig. 5, is a fragmentary View illustrating details of construction There is a case, box or housing and in 7 ing a closed head 3,'at its outer end. These sections may be of sheet metal or other appropriate material cheap enough to throw be conveniently carried in the vest or change pocket, for examplefit may be about 1} inches in diameter andg of an inch thick, and it isadapted' to contain and house a sufficiently long rolled 'strip' 4," of easily audited detachable coupons which are thus protected and kept clean and in a sanitary condition. F or example, the strip" may be made up of a thousandcoupons each good for one mile'of'travel andthe complete outfit can be sold for the price represented by the aggregate mileage, since itsv cost can be made negligible. The cylindrical wall of the outer section is provided with a window 5, narrower than the strip and having continuous marginal portions 6, and this'wall'is alsoprov'ide-d with an exit slot 7, spaced from one end of the window, leaving a bar or portion 8, and one edge 9, of the slot may be inclined. The slot 7, is wider than the window and commensurate in width with the ribbon. The cylindrical wallof the inner section is provided with a centrally arranged circumferentially disposed recess 10, located opposite the window and slot and'constituting a surface having near one end an opening 11,,into the interior of the box or caseand having at the other end an incline 12, alined with the inclined edge 9, of the slot. The surface 10, is provided with a peripheral opening 13,
opposite the window, and with a hole 14,
' punch marks or the like18, may be provided to oppose relative rotation of the sections of the housing.
The roll 4, may be inserted before the sections 1 and 2, are put together and its end is passed through the opening 11, under the detent point 17, over the surface 10, and finger piece 16, with its edges underthe The window afi'ords access for the finger to the exposed portion of the strip that 'overlies the surface 10, and finger piece 16,
in order to free the detent'point 17 from the stripv and feed the end of the strip through the exit slot 7 "sufiiciently to pro ject the required number of coupons which may be easily detached by tearing the strip at the bar or edge 8. vThe inclines 9 and 12,
facilitate the operation of projecting the end of the stripout of the exit slot 7. In case the strip should be'accidentally projectedtooi ar, it can be fed back intothe case-with the linger operating through the window. There is no danger of the strip becoming accidentally; uncoiled either in carrying the device or in detaching coupons for it is well guided and held to place between the inner and outer cylindrical walls and under the bar 8, while at the same time it is accessible for projecting so much of its end asitrmay be desirable to tear on. The detent 7, prevents the strip from accident allyentering the housing or case by opposing unintentional retrograde movement of the strip. The described device is of course useful for various purposes but it especially commends itself for use on rail; ways, especially trolley roads operating on the zone system.
Obviously the invention may be embodied in forms other-than the one selected as being the best. 7
WhatI claim is: V s 1.
