UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES STOKES, JR., OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN TICKET-CASES.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 144,420, dated November 11, 1873; application filed August 5, 1869.
To all 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES SToKEs, Jr., of the city, county, and State'of New York, have invented a new and useful Ticket-Case; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciication, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple, sure, and effective method of preventing horse-railroad conductors and others from embezzling the funds of their employers.' It is a well-known fact that large amounts are daily embezzled by conductors of city railroads, their employers being obliged to receive their funds through these agents, and trust entirely to their honesty for proper returns.
By my invention I am enabled to remove The nature of my invention consists in the employment or use of a cylinder or drum, placed within a spring-casing provided with strip-holding jaws, around which said cylinder is wound a coil of paper or other material, on which are printed or marked tickets, consecutively in numerical order, indicating the authority and genuine issue thereof by the company or proprietor. This cylinder is provided with journals which it and run in Asuitable bearings attached to the spring-casing above mentioned. Within this box and around the cylinder is wound the coil having the tickets, numbered consecutively, marked thereon, the ticket with the highest number being next to the cylinder. When the conductor collects the rst fare, ticket No. 1 is torn off and handed by him to the passenger paying the same, and ticket No. 2 to the next, and so on, by which means an effective check is kept upon the conductor, who must give up the box and remaining tickets on his return to the ofce, and account for those that have been detached.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my improvement, I will now proceed to describe it more particularly.
Figure 1 represents a plan view of the apparatus for holding the coil of tickets. Fig. 2 shows a portion of the coil on which the tickets are marked or printed.
A is the Springease, which may be made of sheet-brass, steel, or other suitable material, and is provided with the strip-holding jaws a and b, where its two ends meet. O represents a coil of paper or other material, on which is printed or marked tickets 1 2 3 4, &c., in consecutive numbers. D represents the end of the cylinder, around which the coil of paper is wound, and which is provided with journals which have suitable bearings E, which said bearings are attached to the spring-box A. l shows a ticket drawn out and ready to be detached or torn oii.
The coil of paper O is wound around the cylinder I), the end thereof containing the highest number being placed next to the cyll inder, while the other end passes between the jaws a b, by which it is held fast. When a ticket is to be detached, the end is drawn out a sufficient distance or length, when the jaws are pressed together and the ticket torn oi, and a small portion of the coil remains projecting therefrom that may be taken hold of by the finger and thumb, when another ticket or length of the coil is to be drawn out.
The utility of this plan will be readily seen. The conductor being required to give a ticket to each person paying a fare, and return the tickets not used to the oiiice, a complete check is kept on his transactions, and the embezzlement of funds effectually prevented.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The ticket-case composed of the cylinder or drum D, mounted upon the arms E, in combination with the spring-case A provided with strip-holding jaws a b, all constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
