This invention relates to denominator machines and has for a principal object the provision of a rapid, eiiicient and greatly simplified means to indicate the smallest.
number of bills and coins of different denomination comprised in an amount set on the face of the machine.
The invention also resides in certain novel lfeatures of construction, combination and 1o arrangement of parts, and improved modes of operation.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description. g'

ln the drawings, wherein for the purpose 50 of illustration is shown a preferred embodiof a pawl support- 1928. Serial No. 266,753.
ment of the invention7 the numeral 20 designates a casing which may be of any preferred material and outline and which as illustrated in F iffs. 2 and 3 carries a number of shafts 21` ne end of each shaft 211s provided 55 with a bevel pinion 22 engaged by a pinion 23 mounted upon a driving shaft 24. Attention is now directed to Fig. 5' which illustrates that the shaft 24 which supports all of the pinions 23 is extended exteriorly of the G0 casing and has connection with 'a crank 26 by means of which the shaft 24 may be turned.
lt will be seen with reference to Fig. 1 that the shaft 24 is provided with a ratchet 25 engaged by a pawl 27 to limit the turning of @5 the-shaft 24 in one direction.
lt is thus seen that all of the shafts 21 are turned simultaneously and at the same speed and it is now pointed out that each shaft is provided with a predetermined number of disk-shaped racks 28. Some of the diskshaped racks have more teeth 28u than others and this is determined by the chart illustrated in Fig. 7.
The disk-shaped racks 28 engage the teeth 75 of ratchet wheels 30 carried by brackets 31 and slidably mounted upon squared shafts 32. There are ten teeth on each ratchet wheel 30 and the extent to which the particular ratchet wheel is turned is governed by the 8o number of teeth on the rack 28 engaged thereby. For example, if one of the racks 28 is provided with three teeth 28a and is engaged wit h one of the ratchet wheels 30, that ratchet wheel will be turned three steps to impart a similar movement to its squared shaft 32. At this point it might be stated that a plurality of numbered or indicating disks 61 are in eii'ect mounted on the shaft 32 so that each time the shaft 32 is turned one step the disks 90 61 will be moved accordingly by a means to be fully hereinafter described.
Before proceeding with the description of the numbered disks 61 and associated elements it is desired to direct attention to Figs. a5 2 and 3 which illustrate that the brackets 31 are secured to the underside of carriages 40 and the carriages are in turn provided at opposite sides with pairs of wheels 41 which operate upon tracks 42 whereby the carriages lea of the machine.
The zero setting mechanism includes a shaft having abutterfly-shaped handle 91 which may be manually turned for rotating gears or pinions 92 keyed or otherwise secured yto the shaft. Figs. 1, 2 and 6 illustrate that the pinions 92 mesh with pinions 93 having rigid connection with spur gears @il which mesh with spur gears 95 mounted upon the inner end of the tubular shaft 60.
When the shaft 90 is manually turned all of the tubular shafts 60 are simultaneously turned so that the springs or pawls 97 carried by the number Wheels 61 Will engage in notches 98 of the tubular shaft 60 and thereby turn all the number Wheels until the same are turned to the zero point.
It Will be seen that each numbered disk 6l consists of interfitting sections, one of which is provided with the ratchet wheel 67 and the other lbeing provided with the in ternal pawl or spring 97 for engagement in the notch 98 whereby when the shaft 90 is manuall turned all of the disks will be returne to the Zero position.
Hand grip 26a of crank 26 has an axial pin A and a spring B normally urges the pin out so as to engage stop C on end 20 of casing at completion of one revolution so as to prevent crank from being moved too far.
The Way my machine operates is as follows:
Suppose We Want to ind what denominations of currency We need for $365.83. We slide, by means of knob 47,the iirst plunger or handle 45 of the first carriage 40 to the left (which represents hundreds of dollars) down to numeral Bof the slot on the face of the machine. Thenl We slide the second plunger or handle 45 (which represents tens of dollars) down to numeral 6 of its slot. Then the third plunger or handle. 45 (representing units of dollars) We slide down' t'o numeral 5 of its slot. Next We slide the fourth plunger or handle l5 (representing tenths of dollars or tens of cents) down to numeral 8 of its slot. The last plunger or handle a5 (representing units of cents) We slide down to numeral 3 of its slot. Then We turn the crank by means of its handle 26 one full turn and in the sight Windows on the face of the machine We will see the number of each denomination of currency We need.
The. chart in Figure 7 is for the sole purpose of explaining how. the above operation takes place in the machine. The numerals at ythe extreme left are the numerals placed at the side of each of the five slots Zl() on the face ln order not to interfere With the other parts of the chart, lt have shown these numerals only once and in their position l believed most convenient.
Each long vertical line represents the round shafts 21 and each small Vertical line or group of small vertical lines at the left of the long vertical lines represents the toothed racks 28 having as man teeth as there are number of small vertical lines. For example, the last shaft 21 at the extreme right has eight racks.
rlhe first rack has d teeth (counting from bottom up) The 2nd rack has 3 teeth rlhe 3rd rack has 2 teeth The 4th rack has'1 tooth rll`he 5th rack has 4 teeth rllhe 6th rack has 3 teeth A',lhe 'i' th rack has 2 lteeth The 8th rack has 1 tooth.
So it is with all the rest of the shafts. lVhere there are no vertical lines 28, there are notoothed racks. lt must be remembered that these racks are placed and in numbers shown on the chart.
The horizontal lines just above the long ver ical lines represent the five carriages 4l() there are in the machine. The number of long vertical lines included under the entire length of each horizontal line shows on how many shafts each carriage Works on and the number of ratchet Wheels 30 each carriage carries (there being one ratchetwheel for each shaft) to engage to the toothedracks 28 of the square shafts 32. rl`he first carriage (representing hundreds of dollars) to the left`l Works only on one round shaft 21 (marked 100) and carries, therefore, only one ratchet Wheel 30. lf We bring down the first horizontal line or carriage 40 to numeral 3 We will find that the toothed rack which Will engage to its ,ratchet Wheel has 3 teeth. his means `that said toothed rack will impart 3 steps to the ratchet Wheel and, consequently, 3 steps, also, to the numbered disks 61 at the extremity of the shaft, Therefore. in the sight Window marked $100 We will see the number 3 meaning we need 3 hundred dollar bills. lf We bring down the second horizontal line or carriage 'to numeral 6 we Will find that the toothed rack of the first shaft the carriage wox ks on (marked 50) has only 1 tooth, and Worliing similarly as above, We will see the number 1 appear inv the sight Window on the face of the machine marked $50, meaning We need besides 1 fifty dollar bill. The next shaft (marked 20) has no toothed rack in front of the numeral 6 and, therefore, Will impart no movement to the ratchet Wheel of the carriage. appear no number in 'the sight Window on the face of the machine marked $20 and, hence, we need no twenty dollar bills. rlhe third shaft under the carriage (marked 10) has one rack with 1 'tooth in front of numeral 6 and This means that there will l llt) vWorking similarly as above, We `Will find that in the sight Window marked $10011 the face of the machine the number l will appear, means We need 1 ten dollar bill. lf We bring down the next horizontal line or carriage to numeral 5, and by nding out as in the case of the preceding horizontal line, how many teeth the toothed racks on the shafts the carriaoe Works on, has, We will find that in the siglit Window marked $5.00 the number l will appear, no numbers will appear in the sight Windows marked $2 and $1. The same way with the other two horizontal lines. V] e bring the fourth horizontal line to numeral 8 and the last horizontal line. to numeral 3. ln the sight Windows 'on the face of the machine We will see that the number 1 in the Window marked $0.50, number 1 in the vvindoiv marked 950.20 and number 1 in the Window marked $0.10. In the Window marked $0.05. no number will appear and in the Window marked $0.01 the number 3 Will appear.
