TICKET-PUNCH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 301,052, dated June 2%,1884.
Application filed May 5, 1884.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. FIsK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ticketlunches, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The object of this invention is to devise means to effectually guard against the commission of fraud by the double use of railroad fare-tickets; and it consists of a punching contrivance or device substantially as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention. Fig. '2 is a longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is aview partly in elevation and partly in secti0n,with the movable jaw handle elevated and the numbering and designating or lettering (lies removed, together with said jaw-retaining device or stop, the same'being disposed a little at one side.
In the organization of my invention I eniploya fixed jaw, A, or lever A, said jaw having, in addition to a handle, in common with the lever, a horizontal slot, a, about equal in depth to the thickness of the fare-tickct which it is designed to punch or designate and number and cancel. The forward end of jaw A is slightly bifurcated, the upper greater prong, a", being beveled, together with the lower or lesser prong, a, inwardly toward each other, to facilitate the insertion 0r guiding of the ticket into the slot at. Transversely through the jaw A, extending vertically through both that portion above and that portion below its slots, are two apertures or passages, b b, one receiving the lettering or designating die, and the other receiving in the upper portion the numbering-die, for indicating the division of the road on which a fare or passage ticket is canceled, said dies being registered in the office of the company as the private mark of the conductor using the punch, both of which dies willbe presently described. The lever or movable jaw A is pivoted at its extreme forward end in the same named end of the jaw A, and fits in a vertical slot, d, in the upper portion (No model.)
ing operation.
0 O are respectively the die. registered as the conductors private mark and the numbering and canceling die, the latter containing the numeral or figure it is intended to punch in the ticket to indicate the number of the division of the route previously determined, as will be more fully referred to further on. The lever A is retained as against too great an upward movement by a stop or retaining device, f, with a hornorproj ection upon it for its convenient manipulatiomand slid into grooves in the walls or sides of the-slot (Z at the up- I per inner end of the latter. The movable dies are bifurcated or slotted in their upper portions, to enable the fitting of the same upon the lever A within the apertures or passages 72 b, one side or wall of the slot of each die having a projection, g, which fits into an approximately right-angled slot, 9, in one side of the lever A, said projections entering the downwardly-opening end of said slots upon placing the dies in place previously to their insertion into the apertures or passages I) b. By this arrangement or thus rendering the dies removable, they can be readily exchanged for others, according to the division of the road it is desired to represent, the cancellation by number showing the portion or division of the road over which the ticket has been used from the pointof issue toward the destination named on the ticket.
In the face or lower side of the slot a, coin cidently with the numberingdie, is a slot or recess, to hold and permit the ready sliding in and out of the same, to effect its exchange, of a matrix stamped in a plate, h, to unite with its die in punching the ticket. It (the matrixplate) is provided with a slot, i,which receives a stop, 13, upon said surface of said slot a, to limit the extent of the insertion of said'plate, so as to dispose the matrix coineidcntly with the die. It being assumed that there are a number of divisions along the route, (as is a fact with railroads generally,) and each divisio'n being numbered in a certain order, then the conductor 'or conductors of the train will have a series of numbering-dies such as above described, numbered according to said divisions, whereby the required division-number can be punched into the ticket.
With this device, should it happen that the conductor failed to have punched the ticket on the first or any division, when the ticket is presented for passage on a subsequent division, the required division-number will be punched into the ticket, whichwill thus effect the canceling of the ticket for all the divisions passed, thereby preventing the reusing of the same ticket over a portion of the road except when the ticket is issued for a round trip, or passage from the point of issue to some other place and return.
Having thus fully described my invention,
what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a fare-ticket punch, the punch having the exchangeable dies, substantially as set forth.
2. In a punch, the designating and numbering dies, each slotted, and having a projection projecting into an approximately right-angled slot in the pivoted jaw or lever, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a punch, the combination, with the verticallyslotted fixed jaw, of the pivoted jaw or lever and the slide or stop fitted into the slot of the fixed jaw to retain the lever in its normal position, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
