In machines which issue checks or re ceipts, the check issuing mechanism has not always proved satisfactory. In most such machines if the check is not removed before a second check is issued, serious consequences may result, by reason of the; fact that the a first check may prevent the successful issnance of the second check.

'Infsuch instances, it is frequently foundthat the check ejecting mechanism becomes clogged which may render the entire machine inoperative. The object of this invention is to provide r means whereby thecheck is ejected with con 'siderable force andyet is retained by a check holding mechanism in such a'positionthat succeeding checks will notsbe'stopped. other object of the invention is to provlde means whereby a large number of checks may be issued without removing same from the machine, and so that the checks which have been issued willnot interfere with the checks being issued. v Y

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a register of the type shown in the application check holding mechanism Inthe drawings I have shown a crank handle 1 which is secured to a gear 2 mounted on a stud 8. The gear 2 meshes with, and drives a gear 4 connected to aGeneva gear 5. which intermittently drives a Geneva pinion 6 which meshes with andidrives a pinion 8. The pinion 6 is secured to .a stud 7. The pinion 8 is rigidly secured to a shaft 9. Mounted on shaft 9 is an electro-plate 10.

A feed roller 11 is mounted on;a shaft 12 and is normally in contact with the electroplate 10. The gears is provided with a wrist pin 13 which is connected to a wrist pin :14 by means of a pitman 1'5. The wrist pin strip after it 14 anchored to an oscillating printing carrier'16, pivoted on a shaft 17. The printing carrier 16-is provided with a shaft218, on

which is rotatably mounted platen '20." i

The base 19 of the machine is provided with upstanding lugs 21011 whichlare'pivot ed brackets 22 which carry shaft 23 on which iszmounted a supply paper roll 24. The ,2

strip of 4 paper 25- from the said roll, passes upwardly over the platen 20 and between the electro-plate 10 and feed roll 11, from whencevit. passes through an opening 26 in the, fixed knife 27, 'whichopening is just abovethe movable knife 28. The movable knife '28 may be. operated by any suitable means notshowinso as torsever the paper opening;

The gears 1 and 5' are mounted ona shaft 29 to which is anchored at its other end a disk 30 provided with a V shaped cutaway -has passed through" the said portion 3h The side frame 32 is provided with a stud 33 havingahead 34 serving as a guide for the lower end of a bar. 35. The

said bar35 is bifurcatedat its lower end toreceive the said stud-33 and to be guided thereby. The bar 35 is bifurcated atits up+ per end, which bifurcation receives a stud' 36 having a head3'7, which studfis mounted on a plate 38 secured to the side frame 32. Theplate 38 carries a vpin 39 and the bar 35 carries a pin 40 which pins are connected by a helical spring 41. The upper end of the bar '35 is provided with-a bifurcated arm 42 I which-receives a crank pin 43 mounted on a lever 44, loosely mounted on a bar carried'by the. side walls of the machine. The I lever 44 extends beyond the bar 45 'and is connected to awplate 46 which at its far end is anchored to a plate 47 havingits journal. on a bar 45.

The. plate 46 is provided with two depending arms v48 which normallyextend downwardly and slightly forwardly,':

andare then'bent at 49so as to extend-al most straight downward and are again bent v at 50 so as'to 'formv'extensions 51which pro- 7 ject downwardly and forwardly; Theses ceipttlforwardly after it "has been severed.

I arms, 4:8, are'kicker Tarmsto project the re- 7 V. r hio o Asthe t cket passes through the-knife,q1tf

strikes the lower edge ofa plate 52 secured to a door 53 hinged to the base plate by means of a hinge 54. The lower edge of the plate 52 extends slightly downwardly from the rear to the front, and approximately at the point where it contacts with the door 53 it is provided with a downwardly extending ofiset portion 55 adapted to deflect the forward end of the receipt downward. The door 53 is provided with an opening 56 and below the opening a plate 57 is secured to the inner side of the said door. Plate 58 is secured to a flange 59 carried on the outer portion of the door 53 just above the opening 56. A plate 60 is hinged at 61 to the outer face of the door just below the opening 56. j a

' In operation, the ticket strip 25is fed forwardly by Il16t11S"Of the said roller 11 and electro-plate 10, and afterits feeding movement is complete, the knife severs same from the remainder of the strip. While it was fed forwardly and before being severed, the front end ofthe ticket strip was guided by the lower edge of the plate52, and engaged the offset 5 5'whi ch bent the forward edge of the paper downwardly. As shown in Figure 3, when the knife'severs 'the receipt or check, its rear end moves upwardly as shown in dotted lines in Figure 3, so that its rear. end is engaged by the extensions 51 of the kicker arms 48. At. the end of the operation of the machine, the shaft 29 has away portion 31'is immediately above the pin 62 carried by an arm 63 anchored to the bar 35. The spring 41 now moves the bar 35 upwardly so that the pin 62 projects into and means to engage the elevated end of the I wardly.

4. In a check ejecting mechanism, an arm, a receptacle, hinged plates forming one wall of the receptacle, and means to cause said arm to engage a check and snap the check forwardly into the receptacle.

5. In a check ejecting mechanism, a rotatable disk provided with a slot, a bar, a pin carried by'said bar, said slot being so posi' tioned on said disk as to be adjacent said pin when the disk completes its rotation, means whereby the said pin is held on the periphery of said disk while the machine is being operated and isprojected into said slot when the slot is brought adjacent to said pin, and means actuated bysaid bar to kick out a check when the said pin passes into the said slot.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

' completed its rotation and the 'V shaped cutthe V shaped cutaway portion 31 of the disk 1 30 and this upward movement of the bar 35 snaps the outer end of the lever .44 upwardly, thereby propelling the kicker arms 48 forwardly so as to eject the receipt or ticket with considerable force into the receptacle 64, which receptacle is formed be-- tween the plates 58 and 60. The receipt drops, by gravity, so as to lie on top of the plate 60 so that it will be out of the way of a succeeding receipt or ticket.

I recognize the fact that receptacles for tickets are old butI believe that I am the first to have invented a machine that has a snap action for the ejection of the tickets or receipts. I realize that many changes may be made in the specific form of the invention, which is disclosed by way of'illustration in the annexed drawings and described in this application, without departing from the spirit of the invention, and I desire to claim the same broadly, except as I may limit my 7 self in the annexed claims. a

I claim j 1. In a check ejecting mechanism, means to bend the forwardend of the check downwardly so as to elevate the rear end thereof,
