MILTON EVERETT, OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
TICKET-REEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 444,342, dated January 6, 1891.
Application filed September 20, 1890. Serial No. 365,583. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MILTON EVERETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Antonio, in the county of Bexar and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ticket-Reels, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to certain novel improvements in ticket-reels, or in spools for containing a long strip of tickets, separated from each other by transverse perforations, to enable the tickets to be removed quickly and readily.
It is my purpose to provide a simple and inexpensive device of this character in which the reel, which is filled with the ticket-strip, is mounted upon an angular shaft moving with the reel, said shaft being provided with a journal at or near one end, said journal having bearing in a standard or bracket rigid upon a base piece or plate adapted to be bolted or screwed to a table or desk.
It is my purpose, also, to mount upon the end of the shaft immediately outside the bracket or standard a ratchet-wheel, and to pivot upon the bracket a spring-pressed pawl engaging said ratchet, and to combine with the ticket-reel a suitable friction spring, whereby the movement of the reel or spool after each advance is arrested an d the wound strip held closely upon the reel.
It is my purpose, also, to provide a ticketreel which shall have intermittent movement, being arrested after each fractional movement in advance, thereby preventing the accidental pay-off of the strip by the momentum of the reel.
It is my further purpose to simplify and improve the construction and operation of devices of this character and effect a material reduotion in the cost of manufacture.
To these ends my invention consists in the several novel features of construction and new combinations of parts, hereinafter fully set forth, and then definitely pointed out in the claims following this specification.
To enable others to make and use my invention I will proceed to describe the same in detail, reference being had to the drawings accompanying this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective View of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the machineshown in Fig:
1. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective of the angular shaftremoved from the machine. Fig. 4 is a View of the reel or spool removed from its shaft.
In the said drawings the reference-numeral 1 designates a base-plate of any suitable form and dimensions, provided with openings 2, whereby it may be screwed or bolted to a table, desk, or other suitable support. Rising from this base-plate and preferably at or near the central point is a standard or bracket 3, having a height in excess of the semi-diame ter of the reel, to provide the necessary clearance, and in the upper end of said bracket, which is expanded and thickened, is formed a seat for a journal 4, formed upon the end of an angular shaft 5. This journal-bearing is of such'length that when placed in its bearing its end will project beyond the outer face of the bracket.
Upon the angular portion of the shaft 5 is slipped a reel or spool consisting of a central core 6, upon the outer faces of which are fastened disks 7, the distance between the inner faces of said disks being such as to admit the ticket-strip 8. The core 6 is provided with a central angular opening 9 of sufficient size to permit the reel to be placed upon and removed from the angular shaft, upon which it is held by a cross-pin 10.
Upon that end of the journal which projects beyond the outer face of the bracket 3 is keyed or otherwise rigidly mounted a ratchet wheel 12, a short sleeve 13 being slipped upon the end outside the ratchet and fastened by a set-screw. Upon the outer face of the bracket or standard is pivotally mounted or fulcrumed a pawl or dog having its nose engaging with the teeth of the ratchet, against which it is held by a spring 15, bearing at one end against the lower extremity of the pawl, and at the other end against a lug 16 upon the face of the bracket. Riveted or otherwise fastened upon the base-plate l is a flat leaf-spring 17 which, as shown, extends beneath the reel and curved upward, its free end being caused to bear against the periphery of the wound strip at the back of the reel.
The operation of the device is as follows: The ticket-seller by exerting a moderate tension upon the free end of the strip causes the ICO reel to revolve; I but its motion is instantly checked by the nose of the pawl snapping into the recess behind the next succeeding tooth upon the ratchet. Even if the strain upon the strip be continuous, the reel will have an intermittent motion, even though the period of arrest may be exceedingly short. 'lhefiat leaf-spring 17 hearing against the strip keeps it in place upon the reel and also tends to check the continuance of the revolution after the strain is relaxed. Thus a sunden pull or jerk upon the strip will only unreel a very short length, instead of setting the reel in swift motion and paying off a large number of tickets, most of which must be again wound thereon.
By making the shaft angular and causing it toiit in the central apertureof the reel, both reel and shaft are compelled to rotate in unison, and an exceedingly cheap and ellicient device is provided.
It shouldbe noted that the bracket in which the reel-shaft is journaled maybe an integral portion of the base-plate 1, orit may be separately formed and riveted or otherwise attached. lmay also substitute for the spring operating the pawl any other form of spring suitable for the purpose.
\Vhat I claim is- 1. In a ticketsreel, the combination, with bracket mounted on a suitable base-plate and having a bearing in its upper end, of an angular shaft having a journal at one end which lies in said bearing, and a reel having an angular central opening in which said shaft closely fits, a ratchet rigidly mounted upon the projecting end of thejournal, and aspringpressed pawl fulcru med upon the bracket and having its nose engaging said ratchet, substantially as described.
2. In a ticket-reel, the combination, with a bracket or standard mounted on a suitable base-plate adapted to be bolted or otherwise fastened to atable or desk,of an angular shaft having a round journal at one end adapted to lie in a bearing in the upper end of said bracket, a reel having an angular central aperture in its core in which the shaft fits, a ratchet rigidly mounted upon the end of the shaft-journal, projecting beyond the outside of the bracket and held in place by a short sleeve, and a friction-swing consisting of a strip of metal riveted or otherwise fastened to the base-plate and curvedupward to bring its end to bear against the periphery of the strip upon the reel, substantially described.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
