APPARATUS FOR PUNCHINGAND REGISTRING TICKETS.
SPECIFIGATIN forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,911, dated January 2, 1883.
Application tiled March 2l, 1852. (No model.) Patented in England March 4, 1881, No. U41; in France October 11. 1881. No. 145,267, and in Belgium October 12, 1881, No. 55,954.
delivering consecutively-numbered tickets to persons riding in public vehicles or entering places ot' amusement; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as 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 letters or figures of reference Inarked thereon, which form a part oi this specitication.
'Ihe object ot' this invention is to check the receipt ot' money from persons traveling in public vehicles or entering places of amusement, by the use of a novel construction of box designed to contain a continuous roll of consecutively-numbered tickets,` and apparatus for checking the delivery of the same from the said box; and the invention consists, first, in the combination, in a ticket register or punch, ot' two delivery-rolls for delivering tickets from a continuous strip of paper, one ot' said rolls being provided with a punch and the other with a matrix, whereby each ticket as it passes between the rolls is defaced or canceled, the latter roll being hollow and serving as a receptacle for the punched-out disks, as hereinafter more fully described; second, in certain details ot' construction and arrangement ot' mechanism, all as fully described hereinafter, and pointed out in the claims.
In carrying out my invention I construct a box, the capacity of which is made sufciently large to hold one or more rolls ofconsecutivelynumbered tickets, according to the purpose for which the box is intended to be used-that is to say, if the box is intended for checking the receipt of money for one class or rate ot' fare or entrance fee, only a single compartmentcontaining the roll of tickets and the apparatus for delivering the same in the manner as hereinafter described, will be required. It' two or more rolls ot' tickets are to be paidout, representing different rates ot' fare or entrance fees,
then the box is divided into compartments 50 agreeing with the various fares or fees to be checked by the delivery ot" tickets from the said box. Each compartment from which tiekets are delivered is provided with separate and distinct operating mechanism.
'Ihe description of tickets which I prefer to use, and for which the improved box forming the subject ot' this invention is designated, are similar to those printed, numbered, and perforated by mechanism described in the Letters 6o Patent ofthe United States granted to me under date of October 18, 1881, No. 248,275. As each roll of tickets contained in the box is delivered therefrom by independent but similar mechanism, it will be su'tlicient to describe 65 the mechanism employed for delivering tickets from a continuous single roll. Any one compartment of the box containing a continuons roll ot' consecutively-numbered ticketsv is provided with two rollers, which are by pret'er- 7o ence serrated upon their peripheries. One ot' these rollers is the driver, and the circumference ofeach of the rollers is equal to the length of two tickets that form part ot' a number of such composing a length or ribbon ot' paper 75 forming the roll of tickets. The second roller is loosely mounted on xed bearings and so arranged that it bea-rs upon the serrated surface ot' the driving-roller. The rollers are geared together and are driven intermittently 8o 'through the medium ot' a lever-handle and ratchet on the axis ot one roller acting against a pawl secured to the said roller, so that when the handle is moved a halt a turn in one direction the rollers are similarly moved to deliver 85 a length ot' paper from the box, representing one ticket. During the time the lever-handle is returning to its normal position the rollers are at rest. lt will thus be seen that when one end of the length ot' paper' composing the 9c roll ot' tickets contained in the box is placed. between the two rollers and the lever-handle is moved in the manner described, each halt'- turn will deliver a length of paper from the box through a suitable orilice representing one 95 ticket, which is then torn oft' at the perforations. The lever-handle'is returned to its normal position without actuating the rollers, and
the latter are again ready to deliver another ticket. As each ticket passes between the rollers it is defaced or punched by the rollers, and at the same time a stud on one ofthe rollers actuates a hammer, and a bell is caused to ring to indicate that a ticket has been delivered, as hereinafter more fully described.
In order that the invention may be better understood, I will describe the same in detail, reference being had to the accompanying sheet of drawings, made about full size, similar letters of reference being marked on corresponding parts on all the figures alike, and in which- Figure l represents in elevation, and Fig.2 in plan, my improved ticket-register. Fig. 3 represents a section of the box with one side removed, showing the position of the roll of tickets and the direction the paper travels in passing from the box. This view also shows the'ratchet and pawl actuating the rollers. Fig.4represents a top section of the box, showing as an example two compartments for containing and delivering therefrom two distinct classes of tickets. Fig. 5 represents a vertical section. Fig. 6 is a plan section of the up.
' per portion or lid of the box, showing the position of the punches employed for defacing the tickets; and Fig. 7 represents the coiled spring employed for forcing the handle back to its normal position, during which time the delivering-rollers are stationary.
In these iigures a is the lower ease ofthe box containing the roll of tickets c, and a is the lid or cover ofthe box containing the appara. tus employed for delivering the length ot" paper from the roll c intermittently from the box through the guide -orifice c. The lid a is hinged to the lower portion of the box at b, thus offering, when the box-is open and the lid thrown back, the greatest facility for placing the rolls ofeontinuous consecutively-numbered tickets in the lower receptacle and passing one end ot'each roll between the rollers preparatory to being delivered, after which the box may be closed and locked by au authorized official. v
The rollers i and d', between and by which the tickets are passed out from the box through the orice e, are equal in circumference to the length oi' two tickets, but are so actuated that they move in half-turns intermittently in the manner following: The rollers d and d. are loosely mounted upon their axesfand j", respectively, and are geared together by the toothed wheels g g. Upon the face or end of roller d, which is the driver, the pawls i are fixed which actuate the ratchet-disk 7L. rlhe boss of this ratchet runs loose on the axis f, and the portion ot' this boss outside the boxlid a is squared or otherwise prepared for the reception of the handle k, which forms a fixture with such ratchet and box. Stops Z Z on the lid at', Fig. l, are provided as a means for limiting the movement of the handle 7.# in either direction.
the roller d.
The coiled spring It', (shown in Fig. 7,) has one of its ends secured to the ratchet-boss h2, and the other is fixed to the case at m, so that when the handle 7c is turned a half-turn in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 1, and brought against the stop l', as shown in dotted lilies, the said spring will be wound up. Vhen the -lever-is released the spring will automatically return to its normal position against the stop Z, as shown in full lines in said Fig. 1. The first haltturn ot the lever gives (through the medium of the pawls yi, ratchet lt, and wheels g g,) a like half-turn to the rollers d df, during which a length or strip from the roll c equal to one ticket is passed between and by them from the box and out of the guide-orifice c. During the time the lever-handle is being returned to its normal position the rollers d and d remain motionless. The protruding length or strip representing one ticket is then torn ofi' at the perforations, and the apparatus is again ready to deliver another ticket. During the passage ot' the ticket between the rollers, and with every half-turn of the same, the punches m m in the driving-roller d, Figs. 5 and 6, come opposite to and enter the matrices n in By these means adisk is punched out of each ticket as it passes out ot' the box, and the ticket is thereby canceled. The disks as punched out pass through the matrix into the hollow part of the roller d', from 'whence they are cleared as required.
In this manner I am enabled to dispense with the usual complicated counting mechanism employed in the class of apparatus known as ticket-punches;7 and one oi' the rolls is made to serve as a receptacle for the punchedout disks.
When the construction of the register and the relative arrangement of rolls is considered, it will be readily seen that when the case is once locked there is no possible way by which the contents ofthe roll can be tampered with.
The -toothed wheel g'is provided with two pins, mil m2, that at each halt'- turn of said wheel come in contact with and actuate a bellcrank lever, 0, and striker p, Fig. 1, which, with every half-turn oi" the rollers delivering a complete ticket, strikes a bell, and so gives an alarm every time a ticket is passing from the box.
That l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. In a ticket-register, the combination ot' two delivery-rolls for delivering tickets from a continuous strip, one of said rolls carrying a punch and the other being provided with a matrix, whereby each ticket as it passes between the rolls is det'aced or canceled by having a disk punched out of it, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. In a ticket-register, the combination ol' two delivery-'rolls for delivering tickets from a continuous strip, one of said rolls carrying a punch and the other being hollow and provided with matrices commul'licating with the IOO IIO
IIS
provided with stops l l', all arranged and opf erming substantially as and for the purpose specitied.
4. The combination, with the rolls c d d and the gear-wheels g und g, the latter having pins 15 or studs m2 m2, ot' the bell-crank lever o, striker p, and a bell. all constructed and arranged for operation substantially as und for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I afilx my signature in 2o presence of two witnesses.
