TICKET-CASE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of- Letters Patent No. 314,090, dated March 17, 1885.
Application filed June 16, 1884. (No model.) Patented in England February 19, 1881, No. 3.608; in France June 4, 1584, No. 162,551; in Belgium June l, 1884, No. 65,375, and in Germany June 13, 1884, No. 30,536.
To all whom it may concern.-
'Be it knownthat we, GEORGE ALBERT WEsTON, railway clerk, and HENRY RANDALL PROOKTER, commercial traveler, both of No.
5 6 Park street, Oroydon, in the county. of Surrey, England, subjects of the Queen of Great Britain, have invented certain new and useful improvements in apparatus for containing and delivering tickets, receipts, or continuous lengths of paper, or other similar materials,
2O terior of which cannot be arrived at without injury to the outer covering, and this box or receptacle contains a continuous strip, ribbon, or roll of tickets. In one form of apparatus this stripor ribbon is coiled round a central drum or roller which revolves on a fixed spindle attached to the top and. bottom of the box or case. The strip .or ribbon of tickets is pulled out of an aperture or slit in the box as it is required, and its passage out is through a channel passing partly around within the interior of the box or receptacle, and fitted with several pairs of flexible lips or detectors, by preference of stiff paper. The
strip or ribbon of tickets is clipped 0r checked by means of said flexible detectors, which form a brake and prevent its accidental or too rapid withdrawal, and at the same time they guard the port or aperture, being directed toward the exit, so as to preventthe reinsertion of 4 the strip or ribbon after withdrawal or the insertion of false receipts or tickets. In another form of our apparatus the box or case contains the continuous strip or ribbon of tickets folded instead of coiled or rolled. The strip or ribbon is led through a passage in which it is clipped or checked by means of flexible detectors, as before described. At its exit from the chamber of the box the delivery of the folds is regulated by flexible guides.
The tickets forming the continuous ribbon are I consecutively numbered or otherwise. \Vc prefer to have the said strip indented across and between each ticket, to facilitate the tearing off of the number required.
of tickets or receipts, each of which represents a fixed and equal amount, which may be the whole or aliquot part of thetotal value received.
The box for containing the tickets may be made of inexpensive materials-such as paper of wood, and these materials may be treated wit-h varnish or water-proof composition, so as to render them less liable to the effects of low cost and easily closed, so that no access whatever could be had to it without so injuring it as to indicate what had been done. The cost of the box thus made would be so trifling that when the tickets were expended the box could be destroyed.
These tickets are, suitable for use on tramways, omnibuses, steamboats, for admissions, sales, &c., or for any purpose where tickets or checks are required to be issued for value received. Thus for a tram-car a box of tickets consecutively numbered, and each ticket made to represent a certain sumsuch as a pennyis given to a conductor who issues to each pas: sengcr a slip of tickets corresponding to the number of pence paid, and as he cannot replace any of them inside the box after withture shows at once how much he has received.
As an additional safeguard against fraud boxes of tickets of different colors can be used.
Although we prefer the apparatus to be constructed of paper or card board with wooden roller-spindle and button, as herein described, the case or any of its parts may be made of any other suitable material, and scaled up by means of a metal or paper label or seal, or otherwise, and opened for the insertion of fresh continuous strips or ribbons and sealed again as often as required.
In order that our said invention may be more fully understood and readily carried in to effect, we will proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.
In the drawings, Figure The aforesaid ribbon may consist of a series or card boardthe roller and spindle being damp. The box could thus be made at a very' drawal the number on the ticket at the aperl is a plan'of a box form. Fig. 7 is aside elevation of another modification. Fig. 8 is a vertical section thereof.
The apparatus here shown consists of abox constructed of card-board. It has circular ends A A, and they are connected together by the side or periphery B of the box. This part B isa scroll of cardboard, one end of which overlaps the other so as to inclose a guide-channel, O, with an entrance at O and an exit or delivery-mouth at C". To stiffen the end of one part, B,which forms the outer side of the mouth the card-board is formed into a small roll, as the drawings indicate. The ends A A of the box are also connected by a central spindle, D, which has heads D l) cemented or glued upon it, and these in turn are cemented or glued to the parts A A.
E is a reel or roller, capable of turning freely upon the spindle D, and on it there is wound a continuous strip of paper, F, suitably printed and prepared, to serve as tickets or receipts- It is convenient that each ticket should be separated from the next by an indented line which will facilitate the separa tion of the tickets; but in thus indenting the continuous paper care must be taken not too much to weaken the material.
It will be understood that the roll of paper F, when the parts are first put together, is as large as the box is capable ofreceiving. It is represented in the drawings as it would appear when the box has been more than half emptied by the withdrawal and issue of tickets. The end of the paper F is led away from the reel or roller through the guide-passage C to which it passes by the entrance and outthrough the delivery-mouth O WVithin the guide-passage it passes through several parts of flexible lips or detectors G G, which are simply portions of cardboard of a width somewhat exceeding that of the paper strip F. These are bent on themselves, as is seen in Fig. 2, and they are fixed by glue or cement to the opposite walls or sides of the guide-passage C; but they are not attached to the ends A A of the box with which, indeed, they do not come in contact. These guide-lips or detectors each exert a gentle pressure upon the paper, so that the slip of paper cannot escape from the box accidentally, but, nev ertheless, can be drawn out as required without fear of injury to the strip or its becoming displaced. Thelips or detectors G also render it impos sible to push back the tickets through the guide-passage C after they have once been drawn out of the box.
The apparatus is completed by enveloping it completely in a wrapper of paper which is pasted on to cover all exterior joints or openings, except the delivery-mouth,when the apparatus is in use, so that the interior cannot be reached without disfiguring the case in such a way as would render detection certain.
Fig. 5 is a section of the apparatus differing from that described above in that thelips or detectors are formed from the same piece of cardboard B which forms the scroll-like walls of the box.
Fig. 6 shows a side view of an app ratus so made before the paper or envelope has been applied and cemented over it, as to cover the external opening made in forming the lip. Each lip is, as will be seen, obtained by makinga three-sided incision in the cardboard and doubling over the tongue so produced in the manner the drawings indicate.
Fig. 7 is a side elevation, and Fig. 8 is a vertical section, of an apparatus in which the paper to form the tickets is not wound upon a roller, but is folded upon itself along the line of indentations, which separate one ticket from another.
The box consists of two card-board ends, H H, connected by sides I I, (either in one or more pieces,) which not only form the outer walls of the box, but also inclose within it a chamber, K, to receive the folded strip to form the tickets, and a guide-channel from this chamber to the exit or delivery mouth at M. In this guide-channel L lips or detectors N N are provided, as already described, and shown in Figs. 2 and 5, and in addition to these we also provide guide-fingers O O, to control the paper as it passes out of the chamber K. These guidefingers consist of strips of card-board P and Q Q. The piece Pis fixed to the ends of the box so that it is comparatively rigid, and it carries another piece, Q, cemented to it and not to the ends of the box, so that this piece yields and exerts only a light pressure upon the strip of paper as it passes out of the chamber. The opposite finger, Q, is cemented to the side I, but not to the ends of the box, and it also is flexible, and exerts such a pressure upon the strip as to control it in its passage, but it yields to a light strain and allows it to pass. But for these fingers the continuous paper would be liable to become disarranged and crumpled when the end is pulled to withdraw the tickets from the box, in place ofpassing out regularly and evenly, as required.
Having thus particularly described and as certained the nature of our said invention and in what'manncr the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is 1. As an improvement in apparatus for containing anddelivering a continuous strip of tickets, the closed card-board box provided with means forsupporting within it the continuous strip of tickets, having the interior guide-channel terminating in a deliverymouth, and provided with the flexible lips secured to the opposite walls of the guide channel, and between which lips the strip of tickets passes as drawn from the deliverymouth, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. a
2. The card-board box provided with means for supporting within it the continuous strip of tickets, and formed of the end parts and the.
side or periphery part united thereto, and one end of which overlaps the other to provide the interior guide-channel, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. The combination of the box having'the interior guide-channel,1neans for supporting a continuous strip of tickets in the box, and the several pairs of flexible lips in the guidechannel, between which lips the strip of tickets passes, substantially as and for the purpose set .forth.
4. The combination ofthe box provided with the guide-channel and the mouth for delivering the continuous strip of tickets, means for supporting the strip within the box, the flexible lips in the guideway-channel, and the envelope secured about the box, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
