IVILLIAM A. THRALI., OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS DEVICE FOR SEPARATING RAILWAY-TICKETS FROM THEIR STUBS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of' Letters Patent No. 433,258, dated July 29, 1890.
Application filed February 9, 1889. Serial No. 299,298. (No model.)
T rJ/ZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, XVILLIAM A. THRALL, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new, useful, and Improved Device for Separating a Railway- Ticket from its Stub, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part 0f this specification, in
which like letters of reference indicate like parts in the diiferent figures.
In order to obtaina satisfactory check upon railway-ticket agents, I have found it to be essential that the passage-ticket, as well as that part which constitutes the stub or voucher with the list of stations, should be printed upon a single piece of paper, and the ticket so separated from the stub as to retain upon the ticket the one name only of the station to which the ticket is sold, while the remaining names of the stations upon the list are retained. upon the stub in such a way that the point of destination shall appear as having been cut therefrom, thereby leaving no means whereby the agent can substitute upon the stub the name of another station to which the fare would be less. I accomplish this by the means hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.
Figure l of the drawings is a perspective view of my improved device in the form in which I prefer to construct it. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a modification thereof in a simplified form. Fig. 3 is an end view showing a still further modification. Fig. 4 is a detail view showing the cutter inverted. Fig. 5 is a view showing a railway-ticket and stub printed upon a single piece of paper, and Fig. 6 is a view of the perspective parts as they appear when separated by means of my improved device.
A in the drawings represents my improved cutter, which is the same in principle in the different figures, though varying in the form of construction. In Figs. l and 2 said cutter consists of a at metal plate having a lateral extension a and a knife-edge o/ extending from end to end, including said lateral extension. I prefer to hinge said plate at one end, as shown at b, Fig. l, said hinge being attached to a board or other suitable base B.
A knob a3 serves to depress the cutter upon the paper C, which forms the ticket and stub, when the one may be separated from the other by means of said knife edge in the same way in which the ordinary straight-edge is employed. A bead h may be formed upon the base B to serve as a guide in inserting the paper C.
In the employment of my improved device the ticket and voucher or stub are presumed to be printed upon a single piece of paper C, that matter which it is necessary to employ to constitute the ticket being printed either upon the top or bottom, or at onergside, but preferably upon the latter, as shown at c, while that matter which is intended to designate the stub is printed upon the opposite side, as at c. Between the two is arranged a list of stations d, which are numbered ate e', respectively, in consecutive order. The ticketnumber is also printed in two plaeesff, so as to appear both upon the stub and ticket when separated from each other.
I will now describe the manner of using my improved device. `Upon the assimilation that a passenger purchases a ticket from Chicago to Clinton, the sheet C is placed beneath the cutterA, so that the lateral extension a shall be over the word Clinton. The plate is then depressed and the stub severed from the ticket proper, leaving the name Clinton upon a lateralextension c2, Fig. 6, of said ticket, while all the remaining names, in `whole or in fragmentary form, as may be preferred, are left upon the stub, as shown at c3 c3 in said last-named figure.
The manner of severing the ticket from the stub possesses the advantage of constituting a complete check upon the agent. It is immaterial whether the ticket be torn from the stub along the edge a or whether said cutter is constructed in the form of a die having said lateral extension or its equivalent, so as to simply cut the paper.
In Fig. 2 I have shown a single fiat metal plate, which may, it is obvious, be used upon any fiat surface. I make aperforation a2 therein, which is placed over one of the numbers e', and thus serves as a guide in severing the ticket, the number being seen through said perforation. A pin a4, Figs. l, 3, and 4, is made IOO to project from the under side of the plate, so as to puncture or indent the ticket opposite the number designating the station, so that in case the part c2 becomes detached by aecip dent the conductor may still know Which is intended as the station to which the ticket is sold. If preferred, the edge of the extension a may be made to depend somewhat into a corresponding depression, so that upon depressing the plate the part c2 may first be cut out and the remainder torn upon the edge a.
In Fig. 3 I have shown a modification ofV Y said invention, in which the cutter A, which is arranged vertically, is designed to coact With a corresponding die in the base B. A stem a5 is attached to the cutter, which is supported in a frame B. A spring a6 serves to normally raise the cutter. In lieu of the lateral extension a, as shown upon the left of the plate, it is obvious that the opposite side may be used as the cutting-edge, in which case a notch, as indicated in dotted lines at a7, Fig. 2, may be used. In either event a diversion suflicient to include one name is formed from the main line of the `margin of from its stub, consisting of a base B, metal plate A, having a cutting-edge a', arranged to diverge laterally at a given point, and perforation a2 and pin a4 opposite said point of divergence, substantially as shown and described. v
l In testimony Where-of I have signed this speciicatiomin the presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses, this 2d day of February, 1889. 45
