ATTORNEY Patented Aug. 17, 1937 v UNITEDYSTATES PATE r OFFlCE a This invention relates to ticket printing and issuing machines of the character such as employed at race tracks for-printing and issuing tickets on the different entries at the time of purchase. 7
It is the principal object of my present .invention to provide a generally'im proved and simpilfled machine 01'. the 'character referred to which is comparatively inexpensive to construct and maintain and will not become out 01' order, and which is eflicient in operationin that tickets will not be incorrectly issued'and cannot be inadvertently or'fraudulently issued.
In practicing my invention I provide a com-' paratively simple machine capable of printing and issuing a ticket on each cycle of operation. A counting mechanism is included in the ma chine and operates to separately register the number of tickets issued on each entry, The mago chine is provided with a selective mechanism to enable the operator to simultaneously select and placein printing, position the number of the entry to be printed on the ticket and to select the corresponding counter for registering the issuance of a ticket on that particular entry.
The operator may then place the machine in operation to print the ticket, issue thesame and register the issuance of the ticket on the selected counter. The machine also includes a race printmg mechanism for printing the number'oi the race on each ticket, which printing mechanism is capable of being set from a point remote from the machine" and out of the particular operator's control, so that the number of the race can' never incorrectly, inadvertently or fraudulently be printed on a ticket. ,The machine a so-constructed that the selector mechanism can be operated only during the inoperative period of the machine, and, further, the machine auto matically discontinues operation after eachcycle to prevent inadvertent issuance oi tickets. 1
One form which the invention may assume is exemplified in the following description and illustrated byway of example in the accompanying drawings, in which: a I

Referring more particularly-to the accompany- .ing drawings, themachine there disclosed com 36 prises a main irame II on which the" operating mechanism is mounted, whichoperating mechanism is enclosed by a casing II which maybe of any suitable construction and design and which may be secured tethe main frame either by a 40 lock or any' other suitable means.
The machine herev disclosed is for the purpose of issuingtick ets on races, and its main characteristics are to enable'the machine operator to select the entry by means of a selector lever, and by operation of the lever place the machine in operationso that the same will print and issue a ticket having imprinted thereon'the number of the entry, the date 01' issuance, the. number of the race and other suitable code indicia. By mere manipulation of the. selector lever the operator may select any one of the entries. The machine also includes a counting mechanism sepa-' rately showing the numberof tickets issued on,
, Referring to the drawlhes, particularly ll 'igs. 3 and 9 to 14, inclusive, it will be seen um arranged vertically and suitably journalle'd in the main frame is a selector shaft ii. The upper end of this shai't projectsfthrough the topo! the casing ii and is fitted with a selector-lever ll capable of oscillation in a horizontal plane. This selector lever I4 is fitted at its ir'ee end with an upwardly projecting knob II by means oi which it may be grasped and 'operatedto impart I turning movement and downward axial movement to the selector shaftJl2.-' At the underside of the outer end oi the selector lever' It is a selector pin it capable of engaginglany one of al plurality of selector sockets l1 formed in the selector dial II. It willbe noticed that the selector sockets II are formed on a line struck arcuately -v 2 from the center of 'the selector shaft I! and are spaced equaldistances' apart. a ,The socketsil each represents an entry in'a race. when the selector lever I4 is moved to place theselector pin; It in register with a selector isocket'il; the selector lever may bedejpressed plishe's' this by rendering elective aclutch 'i lon transversely of the frame and Journalled therein. The clutch mechanism It includes a driving clutch member, 2i rotatably. mounted on the main 23, or otherwise, mm an electric (hot shown).

This is accomplished through the medium ofthe following described mechanism. At the rear of the machine is positioned an entry printing wheei 48 (see'Figs. 1 and 2), a race printing wheel 49 and code printing wheels 50. These wheels are all mounted on a pair of aligned shafts ii and 52 suitablysjournalled in the frame. The entry printing wheel 48 is keyed on the shaft 5|, while the race printingwheel 49 is keyed on the shaft 52. The code printing wheels are revolubly mounted on the latter shaft but detachably connected to the race printing wheel 49 by means of a pin 53. By removing the pin 53 the code wheels may be revolved relative to each other and to the race printing wheel 49 so that each day, or at the end oi any period of time, the code combination may be changed so as to avoid forgery with respect to tickets. 2
The circumferential surface of the entryprint ing wheel 58 is formed with printing type and a separate number is provided for each entry,
which numbers correspond. with the selector socket numbers on the selector dial. The print ing type numbers on the entry wheel may be selectively placed in printing position. For this purpose they are operatively connected with the selectorshaft i2 so that turning movement of this shaft will operate the entry printingwheel so that when the selector pin leis in register with a selected socket i1 representing the entry, the printing type number on the entry printing wheel will correspond with the number of the selected socket and present the same number in printing position.
To accomplish this agear 54 is feathered on the selector shaft i2 and is in mesh with a r'acls 55 which in turn meshes'with a pinion 56 se-- cured on the shaft 5i. Thus, swinging movement of the selector lever I4 will be converted into endwise movement of the rack 55 and turning movement of the shaft 5! for setting the entry printing wheel.
The circumferential face of the race printing 7 ing wheel "89 is accomplished independently of the operation of the machine through the medium of a toothed wheel 5? (see Fig. d) and its associate mechanism.
An electromagnet 58 is provided for operating the toothed wheel 5'? an amount necessary to move the race wheel it sufiiciently to present the succeeding number thereon in printing position. The armature 59 of the electromagnet S8 is connected with links 60 providing a holding pawl 64 to hold the wheel from turning after setting, a pawl 62 for imparting turning movement tothe wheel 51 for changing thesetting oithe race printing wheel,
mote from the machine, say at thejudges stand.
so that immediately following each race, the
judges. may set the'race wheel for the succeeding race.
The code printing wheels 50, as previously described, operate with the race wheel so thateach race number has a different code or other indicia.
to be printed on the ticket with it.
Below the entry, race and code printing wheels are changeable date printing wheels 54, which may be manually changed so as to print'th proper date of issuance on the tickets.
The tickets are printed on a strip of material, which is usually heavy paper, and after printing,
the ticket is projected through a ticket issuing slot 65 in the top ofthe casing H.' The strip material is stored in a roll 68 mounted on a spool 61 removably and rotatably' supported on the frame as illustrated in Fig. 4'. From-the storage roll 56, the strip materlalis led over an idler roll 58,, thence around a feed roll 69 and then vertically upwardly closely adjacent to the printing faces of the printing wheels. The idler roll 68- is preferably spring-pressed into firm contact with the feed roller as so that when the latter is driven, the strip will be fed an exact distance, or a distance equal to the length of theultin'iately issued ticket. The strip is indicated by the numeral 10. To drive the feed roller as, it is fixed one shaft H rotatably supported by the frame. A ratchet wheel 12 (see Fig. 6) is fixed on the shaft ii. A pawl carrying lever 53 is rotatably mounted on 14 to engage the teeth of the ratchet wheel 12. At
' its opposite end the lever 13 is pivotally and slidpawl I4 is ineffective in imparting rotation to the ratchet wheel 12, but during the second half of the revolution of the crank 'ifi rthe lever 13 will be swung in the opposite direction, in which direction the pawl 16' will be eifective in turning the ratchet .wheel an amount sufficient to turn the 7 feed roller 69 the exact amount necessary to feed the strip ill a distance equal to the length of the ultimately issued ticket. fit is during the flrsthali of. the revolution of the main drive shaft 20 that] the ticket is printed so that as'soon as the ticket:
is printed, the strip is fed to project theticket upwardly through the ticket issuing slot 55 as just described.
A friction brake TI is provided for the ratchet wheel I2 to insure proper operation thereof and to hold the feed roller shaft "H stationary during .the intervals of its inactivity. I
For effecting the printing i the ticket, I provide a platen '58 for cooperation with'the printing wheels. This platen is. mounted on a crosshead 19 reciprocably disposed in a crosshead guide 80 on the frame for reciprocation in a'horizontal plane toward and away from the printing 40 the shaft H adjacent the ratchet wheel '12. 'At 7 one end the lever 13 carries a spring-pressed pawl surfaces of the printing. wheels. 'Ihe platen is. of course, disposed on the side of the strip I. opposite the printing wheels.
To operate the platen II, the cromhead II is 5 connected with a connecting rod ll having 'an ec-. centric strap '2 embracing an eccentric I on the main drive shaft II. When the latter one revolution from starting position, the first half of the revolution moves the platen toward the printing wheels to elect the imprinting. and the second half of the revolution withdraws it to starting position.
An ink ribbon ll is'provided and iswound on two ribbon rollers 05 and is led from oneupwardl5 1y between the strip II and the printing wheels I and thence aroimd idler rollers or guides in the other ribbon roller CI. The ribbon ll is advanced typewriter ribbon fashion aftereach printing operation. This is accomplished by iitting each roller 85 with a ratchet wheel It capable of cooperation with adouble-acting pawl 01 carried by a link It suspended from the free end of a pivotal lever 89.. The lever 89 is pivoted to the frame as at 80 and is oscillated by a cam ti mounted on the feed roller shaft Ii 'so'that subsequent to each printing operation the ribbon I will be advanced one step. The ribbon may move in either direction, depending upon which ratchet It the pawl is placed for cooperation. Means I! are provided to engage the ratchet wheels 86 operated to prevent retrogradingthereof or inadvertent feeding of the ribbon. V j After the ticket has been properly imprinted :and projected through the ticket issuing slot ll.
' pivotal blade is swung to unobstruct the upward movement of the printed ticket and uncover the opening 65. This is accomplished by connecting one end of the blade to the upper end of a blade operating lever II.- This lever is pivoted intermediate its ends to the irame and its lower end is fitted with a cam roller it ensasins a cam 31 secured on'the mainndrive shaft II. When the machine commences its cycle of operation. the
cam 01 immediately moves the, lever in a direction positioning the blade to unobstruct the upward movement ofcthe strip II and to uncover the ticket issuing slot It. Just as the machine completes its cycle of operation and the ticket :is printed and projected through the opening ll, the cam. 91 permits a spring-Etc returnthe blade 93 to its normal or starting position, dur- 00 ing which operation it shears the printed ticket from the strip. I
The machine is also equipped witha counting mechanism for registering the number of tickets issued on each entry, a separate counter being provided for each entry. These counters are indicated by thenumeral It in the drawings and are conventional in design. Each counter is provided with a crank arm III which is connected with the shaft of the counter so astc operate the same when the crank arm is swung in one directicn. By moving the outer end of this arm ill through the proper arc, the counter is operated to register one unit. I

Toaccomplishthislhave provided 'a selector switch mechanism. the detail construction of which is most clearly illustrated in Fig. "I. Referring to this view and'to Pigql,
it. willbe seen that arrangedtransverselyot the main frame and supported therebyis a switch frame III. This frame is formed with a plurality of vertical g'uideways iii, which are evenly spaced apart transversely of the switch frame III. A guideway is provided for each entry so that a separate switch will be provided for each entry counter. t
Each switch consists of a vertically reciprocahle member ii! mounted in one of the guideways iii. Each switch member consists of a guide portion m slidably mounted in its' guide-' way and a contact point Ill suspended from the lower end of the guide portion by means of aber and itsccoperating contact ill constitutes a separateswitchandisehctricallyasaociatedwlth but'one entry counter It.
-When the contact point. illv of the selected switch is in contact with the contact I, a circuit is closed through the selected counter and the same is operated. Theswitches are normally held open by the provision of a tension m ll! minim withthelralne I ano e-12 with the guide portion II 4. Each switch mem'--' ber I I2 is provided with a horizontally projecting pin I20 by means of which the switches may be I selectively closed. It is obvious. from Fig. 7 that by depressing the pin I20 of any one of. the switch members Ill-"that the contact point ||5thereof will engage its associated contact I I8 and thereby close a. circuit through the electro- 10 latter. i
To selectively operate the switches and thereby selectively operate theproper counter 99, the selector shaft I2 is provided with a segmental gear I2I, which gear is in mesh with a transversel5 ly and horizontally arranged rack I22 slidably supported by the frame. This rack carries a depressible finger I23 so pivotally connected with the rack that it may be depressed to operate a selected switch. A spring I24 normally holds the finger I23 in upraised position.
It is thus seen that when the selector lever I4 is placed in register with the selected'socket- I'I,
that it first sets the entry printing wheel to present the number of the selected entry into print- 25 ing position. At the-same time the rack I22 is operated so that the finger I23 will be placed in register with the pin I20 of the proper switch so as toregister on the proper counter that a ticket end-each of these levers is fitted with a cam roller I26 which engages" similar cams I21 fixed on the drive shaft 23. At theirforward ends the levers are'connected to the legs of a bail |28- overlying the finger I23 so that when the forward ends of the levers I23 move downwardly, the bail I28 will depress the finger I23 an amount sufllcient to close the selected switch.
The cam followers'or-rollers I 26 are held in contact with the cams I21 by 'means of springs I23, so that upon the completion of the operation of the machine, the bail I28 raises together with the finger I23 so as to permit opening of the selected switch.
m mm m is fitted with a separate operating member I33 which engages the pin I20 for the switch in the circuit of the electromagnet of the totalizing counter I04 so that regardless of which other switches are operated, theswitch of the 7 electro-magnet ofthe totalizing counter I34 'will be operated each time the machine is operated.
'- 'f'he electrical circuit by means of which "the various operating solenoids are connected is shown in Fig. 8 and is believed self-explanatory;
In operation of the device, it is first necessary that the race wheel be properly positioned and that'the code wheels have been adjusted to print the proper code numbers, and that the date printing wheels have'been set for the proper date. The casing of the machine is then placedover it and it is ready-for operation Assuming that it is desired to issues tickctona selected-entry, for example, entry #3,,the selector lever. II is swung so that the selector pin I3 is in register with the socket I'I labeled #3, ,Themovement of the selector lever, I4 and consequent turning of the selector shaft I2 simultaneously places the proper entry number on the entry printing wheel as in printing position through the medium of to register. I will'be revolved,- moving the platen toward the 'tion. shaft, the cams I21 will permit theball I23 to the gear 54, the rack 55 and the pinion 56. Likewise, it places the switch operating finger I23 in alignment with the pin I20 of the proper switch through the medium-of the'segment I2I and the rack I22. Assumingthat the'remote switch is closed, energizing the solenoid to unlatch the trip lever 3|, the selector lever I4 may then be dev v pressed to move the selector shaft I2 axially magnet of the selected counter and operate the downwardly. 1
It should be stated herethat the segment I 2| and the gear 54 are feathered on the shaft I2 so that the latter can move endwise relative, to the segment and gear, and alsothat a spring I2a is provided for the shaft I2 which normally. tends to maintain it in'its uppermost position.
When the shaft I I 2 moves downwardly, the lower end of the trip-pin 35 engages the trip lever 3| and trips the clutch I9 so that the latter may engage and a drive be imparted to the shaft 20. Immediately that this shaft commences to'operate, the'ca'm 43 will move the slide 39 to cause-engagement of the cam 40 with the trip pin 35 to throw it out of engagement with the trip lever 3|, and simultaneously the keeper 4| will be placed inanengaging position relative-to the shoulder 44 to prevent upward movement of the shaft and thereby prevent the selector leverfrom being operated during. the operation of the machine. I r
As soon as the trip lever 3| is released from the trip pin 35, the ,trlp'lever is free to operate anddisengage the clutch as previously described so as to discontinue the operation of the machine after one complete revolution of the main drive shaft 20. I
Simultaneously with this operation, the cam 91 will operate the lever to move the knife blade 93 to an unobstructing position relative torthe ticket discharge opening 65. Also, at the same time the'cam's 421 will actuate .the levers I25 so as to cause lowering of the bail I28 and close the selected switch by engagement with. the proper pin I2I|.-- Immediatelythat this switchis closed, the electromagnet of the selected counter will be energized, operating that counter and causing it During thisperlod the eccentric 83 printing'rollers andcausing the-same to properly print theticket. After the main drive shaft has completedzone-half of one revolution, the feed "roller shaft II will be turned to operatethe feed roller 63 an amount necessary to project the proper amount'of ticket through .the ticket issuing opening 35. 'Just as the main drive shaft completes its complete revolution, the cm 3'! will permit the lever "to swing in a direction causingthe knife blade 33 to sever the vticket disengage fromthe trip pin 33, and the keeper and at thesame time thecam 43 will permit withdrawal of the slide 33 so that the cam 43 will 4| will" disengage from=the shoulder, thusreleasing the selector shaft and enabling its spring 12a "to move it-upwardly for a successive opera--" r f During therevolution of the main-drive rise, through the levers I23, permitting theswitch whichhad been closed to opemzi:
It'is seen that-"subsequent to eachirace, the
"judges may operate from a-remote point the remote switch illustrated in Fig. 8 to advance the race wheel so that the numberof the succeeding race on the race wheel will be presented in printing position. If this switch is at aremote point,
the particular operator of the machine will have for this purpose, which machine may be so con- 7 trolled as to eliminate all fraudaand which machine will be foolproof in operation and entirely self-contained.
