CHECK-REGISTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,920, dated March 30, 1880.
Application filed September 17, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN CRAWFORD, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Check or Fare Registers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, that will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The same letters and figures of reference are used to indicate the corresponding parts.
After describing the invention, its nature and extent will be shown in the claims.
My invention is a check-registering device adapted for stores, lunch-rooms, &e., and consistin g of certain simple and inexpensive mechanism, fully described hereinafter, for retaiir ing, delivering, and recording the delivery of checks of different denominations.
In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved register; Fig. 2, a plan, the interior being exposed Fig. 3, a detached view of the feed-rolls Fig. 4, a sectional elevation; Fig. 5, a detached view of the feed-slide.
The case A of the device is divided by a partition, m, into compartments A A each provided with a lid or cover, it being intended to prevent access to the compartmentA except by authorized persons.
The compartment A has one or more vertical tubes or receptacles, a, corresponding in form to that of the checks used and at a short distance below each tube is a plate or support, t, having a central slot, 25. Below each tube is a slide, B, having a knob, b, at the forward end and inclined shoulder f near the rear, and in front of said shoulder a finger, 0, extending into the slot 25 above the face of the plate 25.
The rear corner of the finger e is beveled at 00, and a spring, d, tends to retract the slide. When checks are placed in the receptacle a the lowest will rest upon the plate 2?, and will be struck by the finger 0 when the slide B is pulled forward, and will be carried out through an opening, 0, in the front of the case. On
releasing the knob b, the slide will move back,
the inclined corner a: of the finger c lifting the checks, so that the finger can pass beneath.
The above-descril'ied feeding arrangen'ient is more simple and inexpensive than those heretofore employed, requiring no nice fitting or finishing, as the slides may be stamped from plates and the receptacle a cut from ordinary tubes, while two straight wires may be placed side by side to leave an intervening space,
which will constitute the support 25.
The registering mechanism which I have preferred to employ is constructed as follows: 0 O are the side plates of a frame, in which turn the journals of two feed-rolls, O O, and of a tape-reel, E. A guide-roll, 0, is so placed that the tape D, upon which is printed a series of numbers from 1 upward, shall pass downward opposite a glass-covered opening, D, in the case.
A beveled gear, 9, on the journal of the reel E engages with a gear, 9, on a spindle, h, having a crank-handle or square end, so that it may be readily turned to wind up the tape. 0n the journal of one of the rollers C is a ratchet, j, and a bar, F, sliding in guides below said ratchet, is pressed by a spring, I, against the edge of the slide 13.
A pawl, It, prevents the ratchet from turnin g in the wrong direction.
When the slide B is drawn forward its inclined edge f raises the bar F, which strikes a tooth of the ratchetj, and turns the latter and feed-wheels O G (which are connected by gears 1 until sufficient tape is drawn downward to bring anotherfigure opposite the opening D.
YVhile the above-described registering mechanism is very effective, it is so simple in its character that it can be made at a very slight cost, while it is much less liable to get out of order than the ordinary dial-registers.
It will be apparent that any number of slides, receptacles, and registers may be combined in a single easing, four being shown in the drawings, and that the whole structure may be cheaply made, is durable, and not likely to get out of order.
I do not claim, broadly, the combination of the delivery-slide B, having an inclined upper edge, f, and a vertical bar operated by said inclined edge and turning the ratchet of an indicator; but
I claim- 1. The combination, in a check-register, of the receptacle a, the support 15, having a slot, 15, the slide 13, having a finger, 0, extending into the slot 25, with a beveled edge, 00, and registering mechanism connected with the slide to be operated thereby, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination of the slide B, having an inclined edge, f, bar F, feed-Wheels O O,
ratchet j, and tape D, passing between said feed-Wheels and provided with a series of figures successively increasing, as set forth.
3. The combination of the cheek-receptacle, delivery-slide, feed-Wheels G 0, arranged to be operated by said slides, roller 0, tape-reel
