  • MARTIN LEBEIS or IBERLIN-FRIEDENAU, GERMANY, ASSIGNOB, BY MESNE ASSIGN- menus, To mmme'ron RAND men, 01! NEW YORK, N. Y.,- A CORPORATION or DELA- WARE.
  • This invention relates to a punching machine for statistical or filin cards of that kind in which all the punc es are first set and then all the holes are punched simultaneously.
  • Two kinds of punching machines are at present known. In one of them the unches are singly and consecutively set y means of a keyboard with ten keys, by means of a setting mechanism to advaiicingstepby step like the carriage of "aptypewriter and connected to the keyboard.
  • the second kind slides are provided to the same number as that of the rows of punches, or a full keyboard. The slides id form, so to speak, a large keyboard wlth all the numbers thereon.
  • the first construction presents the dis advantage that the operator cannot observe the setting, so that errors are easily liable an to occur.
  • the disadvantage is the large space occupiedhy the setting board, and the consequent chiticulty to observe at a glance what has been set, as well as the complication of setting tit by pulling the slides.
  • This invention substantially consists in a limited size keyboard with all the numbers thereon,
  • Figure 1 is 'a vertical section at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the machine.
  • Figure 1 is a detail View of the key looking means of the same.
  • Figure 2 shows on an enlarged scale a part of the punch box with the setting device.
  • FIG 3 is a vertical longitudinal section.
  • F gure 4 is a partial plan of the machine.
  • Figure 5 shows the feeding device.
  • the punch box with the rforators or punches and the matrix is o the construction usual in card punching machines.
  • the setting carriage comprises an upper plate 10 and a lower late 11 which are connected together to orm. a fixed frame by means of lateral sheet metal plates 12 (Figure 3).
  • This frame is easily adjustable in the lateral direction on rails 13 and 14 which are secured to the machine frame, and is pulled to the right by means of two' steel bands 15 ( Figure 4:) by a spring mechanism not show in the drawing.
  • the pawls 8 are set directly by means of the keys. As the keys must be arranged so as to ensure convenient striking, and as the arrangement of the pawls depends on the fixed arrangement of the holes in the card, the transmission parts between the keys and the pawls must be brought together in a correspondingly narrow space.
  • punches may be set accordingly 1n nine rows.
  • the whole keyboard has thetendency to move to the right, but is prevented from doing so by the finger 28 which engages in front ofonc of the stops 23 (Figui'eS1,"3 arid-5).
  • the stops are mounted in slots' 'in arackf24 secured to the frame of the machine7The-stops may be placed'at any desiredgpoints of the said rack.
  • the releasebfth setting carriage is effected by a separate key 25 which acts on a lever 22.
  • This lever rests on an arm 26 having a wide hub '27 with a tappet 28, which is so mounted on the spindle 29, that, under the action of a spring 30,-it moves to the right on the said spindle.
  • the tappet is so connecte to the spindle by a groove and spline that the spindle participates in the rotation of the lever.
  • To the spindle is also secured a second tappet 31.
  • the two tappets 28 and '31 are so arranged at an angle to each other so that in the two end positions of the oscillation, one of them engages with one of the stops 23.
  • the parts 25 to 31 and 38 are secured to the setting carriage.
  • the tappet 28 is turned by means of an intermediate lever 22 and the arm 26 so that it is released from the sto 23 in front of which it had been situate andmoved to the right by the action of the spring 30.
  • the tappet 31 has assumed the position which was previously occupied by the tappet 28, but as it is in front of the Ste 23- with' which the tappet 28 was previous yin engagement, the
  • the keys depressed in one position of the carriage. may be locked in this position for the whole period of this :uljustment. This is done in the following manner:
  • the wires 32 terminate in looking cones 35. These cones are hold fast by a locking bar 36, of which there is one for each row of keys, as soon as they are depresscd down to the neck. The key remains therefore in the depressed position, and the figures set may be read on the keys thus locked.
  • the advance key 25 releases the locking bars, that is to say, makes them free for a new adjustment at each advance of the carriage.
  • a punching device having a plurality of rows of punches, corresponding rows of punch locking devices, a movable settin carriage having a keyboard provided w1t1 several rows of keys and provided with corresponding rows of key operated devices adapted to set in operative position punch locking devices above a plurality of punch rows which form a zone or portion of the total number of punch rows, a card carrier movable relatively to the locked punches, tabulating means including a tabulating key for moving said setting carriage step by step from zone to zone of the rows of punches, and means cooperating with the inner ends of said key operateddevices to lock the keys in depressed position, said key lockin devices being releasable by depression 0 the tabulating key.
  • a punching device comprising a Inrality of rows of punches, correspon ing rows of punch locking devices, a movable setting carriage provided with a keyboard having several rows of keys and having corresponding rows of key operated setting devices adapted for each position of the car-. riage to set in operative position punchlocking devices in all of the rows in a corresponding zone, a card carrier movable relat-ively to the locked punches, said setting carriage being movable step by step from zone to zone of the unches corresponding to zones on the rows of punches, connections be tween said keys and said key locking devices having at their inner ends conical members for operating the punch locking devices and locking the keys in depressed osition.
  • a punching device comprising a plurality of punches providing a plurality of zones each containing a lurality of rows of punches, a movable settlng carriage having a keyboard provided with several rows of keys and provided with corres ondin rows of key operated punch loc liing evices adapted for each position of the carria e to lock punches in operative position in afi the rows in a zone, a card carrier movable relatively to the locked punches, said setting carriage being movable step by ste from zone to zone of the punches, and owden wires actuable by said keys to set said punchlocking devices and provided at their inner ends with means for locking the actuated keys in depressed position.
  • a unching device comprising a plurality 0 rows of punches, corresponding rows of punch locking devices providing zones corresponding to zones on a card and including for each zone a plurality of rows of punches and corresponding rows of punch locking devices, a movable setting carriage having a keyboard provided with several rows of keys corresponding to the number of rows of punches in a zone and correspondin rows of key operated devices for operatmg said punch locking devices, said punch locking devices including locking bars within the setting carriage, a card carrier movable relatively to the locked punches, means for moving said setting carriage step by step from zone to zone of the punches and of the card to be punched, and connections between the said keys and said punch looking devices on the setting carriage said connections including convergingly arranged Bowden wires having locking cones on their inner ends for locking the actuated keys in depressed position.
