17 Claims. (01. 282-) This invention relates to a machine to be used in making receipt and journal entries at one writing and, when desired, to make distribution from the original receipt or sales ticket. An important advantage of the mac ne is that it may be employed to postledgers, statements or pass books and create a journal entry at one writing, having particular use in such bookkeeping operations as are required in handling installment acp counts, loan and finance companys accounts with the individual clients, and the like.
Another important advantage of the machine lies in its simplicity and the facility with which the entries may be made thereby so that the manifolding machine will readily lend itself to the accomplishment of the modern bookkeeping transactions of various business establishments.
These and many other objects and advantages will become apparent to those versed in the art ,0 in the following description of the invention, one
particular form being shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a machine embodyil'ig my invention;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the machine with parts broken away;
Fig. 3 is a view in longitudinal section about on line 3-3 of Fig. l; i
Fig. 4 is a detailed perspective view showing the sheet lifter in operation; and
Fig. 5 is an enlarged section through the platen and the several sheets thereon.
Like characters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views in the drawings.
I form a box like structure lllhaving a cover H which is hinged to the box at therear upper edge by the hinge l2 so that the cover may be lifted from the forward end. 'The cover has a forward table portion II, at the rear end of which the cover II is cut through transversely thereacross to expose in the window thus formed a stationary platen l4.
Near the rear end of the cover II I provide a; carbon paper carrier carried within the housing I5. This carrier consists of a central shaft l6 which is removably carried between the. support-' ing ends II. The roll of carbon paper I! is slipped over the shaft l6 and retained in position toward the left hand side thereof by means of a spring 19 hearing against a collar 20 adjustably fixed along the shaft l3 and a floating collar 2| carried on the shaft, the floating collar bearing frictionally against the'end of the paper roll. l'.'he carbon paper passes from the under 55 side of the roll ll across the upper rear portion Ell of the cover II and over the platen l4, beneath the table l3 and over aguide 22 to a rewind roller 23 carried within the box. The roller is suspended from the cover portion 24 which forms a floor under the table i3 and is movable there- 5 with but spaced therefrom to receive the carbon sheet therebetween. This floor 24 has its forward edge deflected downwardly to form the guide 22 which leads the carbon sheet through a slot 25 into the box.
Where more than one copy is to be made from the original writing, a second carbon paper carrier shaft 26 is supplied and mounted under the cover ll near the rear end thereof. The second carbon paper 2i is carried on this shaft 23 and i5 is carried forwardly under the cover ll, across the platen M and on to the same rewind roller 23, the opposite edges of the platen being deflected to form guides 23 for the paper. From the right hand side of the box it, extends the roller 20 23 to have a knob 23 thereon as a means for turning the roller so as to advance the carbon sheets across the platen is. i
For record purposes a journal sheet 30 may be provided. This sheet, which may be in roll form 5 if desired, is carried rearwardly over the platen It, under the lowermost carbon sheet, and between a feed roll 3i and a. presser roller 32 mounted to the rear of the platen E4, the presser roller 32 being under the urge of spring 33. By revolv- 30 ing the roller 3 l the journal sheet 30 may be advanced across the platen l4 as desired. After the journal sheet has passed through the machine it will then be transferred to the proper files in the bookkeeping department.
In order to operate the roller 3| in proper sequence, I provide an exteriorly arranged operating lever 34 fixed on a shaft 35 which extends transversely through the box IKL' Within the box I0 I fix an arm 36 to the shaft 35 andnormally hold it in a lowered position against an adjust- 1 able stop 31 by means 'of a spring 36'. This pull of the spring tends to hold the lever 34 in a normally elevated position." A second stop 38 is engaged by an extension of arm 36 when elevated. These two stops are adjustable by reason of pin and slot mountings 39 to determine and vary the throw of arm 36, as will now be described.
On the shaft 40 which carries the roller 3|, I revolubly mount a lever 4| within the box I0 and connect this lever by a link 42 to the arm 38. A pawl 43 is pivotally carried by the lever 4| and hasa spring 44 normally urging the pawl into engagement with a ratch 45 on the end of the feed roller 3|. Thus by pushing down on the vance the feed roller lever 34, the arm 86 will rock the pawl to adthe prescribed distance for moving the paper across the platen I4. The
presser roller 82 maintains the paper in frictional contact with the roller 3| so as to prevent slip-. ping of the paper thereover.
In using the machine, a sales ticket or order 46, or whatever the original writing is to be on, is placed in position over the window in the cover II and properly aligned by having holes 41 in the ticket registered over one or more locating pins 48 carried by the cover adjacent the left hand edge of the window. In the form herein shown, I employ three such pins, although this number may vary depending upon the standard forms employed. The form is thus held in position after being located by the pins 48 and is written across so that an impression is made through the carbon paper thereunder on the paper 80 carried over the platen.
When the entry has been made and the form 48 is to be removed, the lever 84 is pushed down to advance a fresh portion of the journal sheet 38 over the platen. Simultaneously,- the form or original sheet 46 is freed from the locating pins to permit its removal. This is accomplished herein by elevating the perforated margin, as
- depicted in Fig. 4. Lifting this margin facilitates manually grasping the sheet for removal.
For this purpose a lifter 48 is actuated by and during the feeding operation- The lifter extends upwardly from the arm 88 through an opening 50 in the cover I I and terminates in a foot adjacent the pins 48 so that the lifter foot will elevate the margin of the ticket' or form to clear it .of the locating pins when the lever 84 is de- To facilitate the insertion of a duplicate form between the two carbons l8 nd 21, the, housing I5 is spaced at one end above e cover I I to form an entranceway 53 through which is slipped such duplicate form 58. The bottom 54 of the housing !5 may be formed as a part of the cover casting while the top" of the housing may be a metal '45\ stamping detachably mounted on the bottom.
Where individual receipts are to be given the customers-a supp y of the receipt forms in strip arrangement may be provided in a compartment Eli-suitably mounted on the side of the box. The receipt strip 88 is pulled out through a slot 68, beneath a guide loop 51 and between the two car- I bon sheets. e individual receipts may be torn strip portion between thecarbons for use as 00.- -casion. may require. This will not interfere with the insertion of the duplicate'form which may be threaded above the strip to he immediately beneath the'upper carbon.
As shown, the locating pins and litter footare disposedlaterallseof the carbons so as to'permit the latter lying smooth and flat at all times. The iournal'sheet may be wider than the original form to expose the former at the window for making proper original notations thereon. The feed roller 8| may be held against retrograde movement by a leafspring 88 on the stop 88.
When the receipt strip 58 is used, it is prefer- I able to arranged the line of feedthereof so that at least one of the locating pins 48 will engage in an opening provided for such purpose in each receipt portion of the strip, and obviously'when it is desired to manually pull the receipt strip to the right in Fig. 1 for removing one of the receipt portions the latter will be released from the locating pin by the handle 84 the form sheet free from the through the window whereby the lifter foot will elevate the receipt form together with the original form 48 from the locating means, and while being held in such elevated position the receipt strip will be pulled to present a new receipt portion beneath the carbon an aperture in the respective receipt portions as they are successively positioned beneath the carbon paper. The duplicate form 53 will be insimple and practical in design and will meet the a needs of modern bookkeeping. The extent of raishi; the illustrated embodiment of the presentinvention, the central locating pin 48 alone enters ing the margin of the original and duplicate forms may be varied by adjusting the stops -31 and 88. While I have herein shown and de'- scribed my invention in the best form as'now known to me, it is obvious that structural changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and I, therefore, do not desire to be limited to that precise form beyond the limitations" as m y be imposed by the following claims. 1
