FRANK SIMONE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
TICKET-DISPENSING MACHINE.
Application filed May 17,
This invention relates to ticket dispensing machines and has as one of its objects to provide an apparatus capable of delivering a single ticket from the bottom of a stack or pile in an unfailing, positive manner, the end of the ticket being presented so as to be conveniently grasped to complete its extraction. y y
Another purpose is to produce a ticket dispensing mechanism of extreme simplicity, composed of few parts completely encased and protected from injury, and which is neat and attractive in appearance.
A further aim is in the provision of means for adjusting the tension on thetickets, providing for variations in their width and thickness, and also for audibly announcing the removal of each ticket.
These and other like aims and objects are accomplished by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereafter 7 described and shown infthe accompanying drawings, forming part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention. H
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary side view,the casing and protruding parts being shown in section.
Figure 3 is a artial central longitudinal the same. Figure 4 is a front elevational view of the apparatus, with the casing "removed,
Figure 5 is a transverse sectional v ew taken in a plane represented by the line 5 5 of Fig. 2.
Unlike most mechanisms for performing similar purposes, th1s apparatus small, compact and wholly devoid of power actuated means, motors, shearsand other appurtenances, expensive, intricate and readily liable to failure, beside taking up much valuable space. y y y The present invention includes a relatively heavy, oblong rectangular base 10 provided with rubber feet 11 adapted to rest upon the surface of any convenient support.
A frame, comprised a sheet metal plate, is formed topresent a level platform 12 having downturned integral sides 13 arranged in parallel and provided with pairs of supports 14 and 15, respectivelynear the front and rear, these supports being turned outwardly at their extremities and secured to thebase 10. y
Midway in the length of the sides 13 and 1923. Serial No. 639,494.
secured to it one end of a tension spring 22,
the other end of the spring engaging the rod 18 in such manner that the bars are normally drawn toward the rear.
Mounted on the spindle 19 is a friction wheel or roll 23 and a similar wheel 24 is mounted in a like manner on a spindle 25 removably engaged in bracket 26 at the extreme forward ends of the sides 13.
Trained over the wheels 23and 2 1 is an endless conveyor-belt 27 having at regular spaced intervals, raised, outstanding trans verse ledges 28, the inner side of thisbelt moving lengthwise over the surface of the platform l2and in close proximity to it.
Due to the pull of the spring 22 the belt 27 Will be maintained uniformlytaut and under an even tension, irrespective of conditions which may tend to change the length of the belt. The spindle 25 extends outward beyond the frame andis provided with a knurled knob 29 by which rotary motion may be given the wheels and cause movement of the conveyor belt during the initial operation of the device, this knob being so arranged as to turn the spindle in a forward direction only.
Secured to the upper portion of the sides 13 is a container 30 the same having its a-bleshutterplate 33 held in positive adjustment by a stud fixed inthe plate to pass through a slot in the frontof the casing by a thumb nut, in conformity with the thickness of the tickets tobe dispensed.
. each operation, openings 34 are formed in the side walls of the container near the front,
the platform and its side Walls being rccessed 1n reglster withthem, these openings permitting the entrance of relatively soft friction rolls 35 supported in forked brackets 36.
These brackets are pivotally mounted on pins 37 carried at the ends of a bar 38 and are provided at their oppositelower ends with adjusting screws 39, the points of which impinge on the frame sides 13 below the slot 40 through which the bar 38 passes, said bar being adjust-ably mounted, as at 41, on brackets 42 secured to the sides 13.
From the'foregoing it will be seen that the pressure rolls 35 may be adjustably raised or lowered with reference to the platform 12 and1eXert frictional pressure on the opposite edges of the tickets, this pressure being controlled by the screws 39, as best seen in Fig. 5.
Apair'of bell-crank levers 43 are pivoted on pins fixed in brackets 44 secured to the sides 13 their upper horizontal elements extending forward and are provided'with recesses46 to receivea spindle 47 on which is mounted a wheel 48, the same being a duplicate of the wheel 24 positioned directly be 1 low.
Due to the mounting of the wheel 48 it is held normally in contact with the mating wheel by means of tension springs 49 engaging the lower elements of the bell-crank levers 43 below their pivot pin s,'t hese springs being attached at their opposite ends to the sides 1321s shown in Fig. 3.
Fixed on the base 10, below the platform 12, is a bell 50 having a hammer 51, the
same beingpivoted at 52 to the rear legs and having anarm extension '53 drawn upwardly by a spring '54, this extension beingso disposed as to be struck by pins 55 fixed in the side of the wheel 23.
Disposed over all the foregoing mechanism 1s acasing, the lower expanded portion 56 of which is provided with a circumambient flange 57 resting on the base'10 to which it is secured.
- The spindle '25 extends sothat the knob 29 may be engaged with it for turning the wheels in a forward direction only.
' Aslot 58 is formed through the front of the casing in register with the surface of the platform '12 and vin the plane of peripheral contact of the wheels 24 and 48, the
the container 30, completely enclosing the v same and 1s provided' with" an opening 60 in its rear wall through which tickets may be supplied to the container, this opening having a cover 61, such as a swinging door or sliding plate as shown.
In operation, the receiver 30 having been supplied with a quantity of tickets uniform in dimensions, the shutter 33 will be adjusted to permitthe proper discharge of the single tickets. Upon turning the knob 29, if it be the first ticket to be discharged, the wheel 24 will be rotated, conveying motion to the belt 27 which runs over the idle whccl 23, being thereby stressed, and also over the platform 12, the upper run of the belt moving towards the front.
One of the ledges 28, carried by the belt, engages the lowermost ticket, held flat upon it by the stack and weight 31, and also held tensionally between the rolls 35, this tension restraining'the next upper adjacent tickets from movement, in addition to the shutter 33.
As the ticket is pushed outwardly it is caught between the friction Wheels 24 and 48, held in normal contact by the springs 49, until it is extended through the delivery slot 58 where it is grasped by the fingers of'an operator and fully withdrawn.
As less than half the length of the ticket has been extended past the wheels 24 and It will also be understood that thebell will be struck at least once atthe discharge of each ticket, thereby calling attention to the use of the machine.
Although I have described my improvespect to certain particular forms of my invention, I do notdesire to be limited to such details since many changes and modifications may well be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention in its broadest aspect. 1
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A dispensing machine for stacked tickets comprising auticket container, :1 conveyor belt movable below the container, said belt being composed of a series of flexible plates overlapping at their advancing ends and presenting abutments for engaging-the lowermost ticket in the stack, alulmeans di- 'ments with considerable detail and with rc- I rectly operated by the Withdrawal of one ticket for advancingsaid belt to project another ticket into dispensing position.
