' Application filed September 1.1892. .senal'mt 44ft,783;' "(no-mam To a l Z lid/ 1.0 7121 it'ritay coa'cerrifl V V T Be itknown that I, ALLEN I. BLANCHARD, a citizen of the'Unitedstates residingat Chicago, inthecounty of Cookan'd State of Illinois, have invented acertain' newand use ful Improvement in Cash Registersand' Indicators,of which the following is a description, reference being. bad to the accompanying drawings, formingpart of this specification. Myi'nvention relates to improvements upon the machine illustrated and described in my. prior patent No. 412.660, dated December. 1 1S90 and consists chiefly in the application of. novel devices to such machine to more effectually prex-entfraudulentmanipulation of it. Its novelty wi-ll be hereinafter set forth and specifically pointed out in the claims In the accompanying drawings Figure 1' represents a front elevation of the machine with a portion of the glass dial broken away, the numbers which are painted upon the dial beingshown in dotted lines, since they are of substantially the same color as the background and in the actual machine are not clearly visible except when the indicator of contrasting color is moved behind them, as shown at the zeroin Fig. 1; Fig. 2a vertical section of the machine immediately in rear of the front plate of the framework, the base and drawer compartment being shown in elevation; Fig.3 vertical section corresponding to Fig. 2 but taken on a line a little to the rear, as indicated by the dotted line 33 in Fig. 0; Fig. 4 a vertical section of the machine-approximatelj',on: the line 4-4 of Fig. (5; Fig. 5a rearelcvationof the machine, with the rear plate of the casing removed and the rear portionof the framework shown in dotted lines; Fig. 6 a vertical section through the middle of the machine, looking toward the right side thereof; Fig. 7 an enlarged detail View of the notched disk and some of the associated parts; Fig. 8 a detail view of the.

, opposite side of the notched disk from that shown in Fig. 7; and Fig. 9 a detail view of the ratchet and the arm which turns with it. .The same letters of reference are used to indicate identical parts in all the figures.

The working parts of the machine are inclosed in a cylindrical casing A secured to a support B mounted upon a base (3 having a drawer compartment containing. a sliding --money drawer D. I The main' actuating 'device of the machine consists of a central 'o's-f eillatorvshaft E which is journaled neat-its forward end in the front plate. F of the easing A, and at its rear .end in a four-armed cross p'lateG secured to lugs II upon the casing A just within the rearplate 1 of the eas- -ing,Fig.'6. lhe shaftEhas fast upon it's frontend an operating handle J-by which it may be turned in the direction of the arrow Fig.1. Fast uponfthe shaft. E nearitsfiniddle,'Fig. 6, is a disk K, Figs. 3, 5 and 7. Imlnediatelyin rearof this.disk,in thisinstance formed integral with ,the disk, Fig. -6, the

'shaftE has fast upon it a pinion L, Figs. 4,

5 and 7, with which meshes a curved rack M carried-by an arm N pivoted at 0 tea curved plate P integral with and connecting two of the arms of the plate G. A coiled spring Q connected atjts upper end to the arm N and at its lower end'toa fixed rod R pulls the arm N and rack M downward and yi-eldingly holds the arm N against a stop pin Son the plate G and maintains the operating handle J in the position shown in Fig. 1. When the handle is moved to the left and the handle and shaft turned in the direction of the arrows-in Figs. 4 and 5, the rackM will be lifted and the spring Q put under tensiomand when the handle J is released the spring will draw the rack downward and reset the parts.

Loose upon the shaft E and extending,' from the forward side of the disk'K to a pointbeyond the front plate F of the casing is a sleeve '1, Fig. (3. This sleeve has fast upon its forward end an arm U which carries at its outer end a disk V adapted to travel in a circle be- .hind a row of indicating numbers upon a 99 transparent glass dial \V which is confined between a forwardly-projecting peripheral flange on the plate F of the casingand a flanged ring X fitting ovcr the same, as seen in Fig. 6. The indicating numbers upon the glass dial W are the same in eoloras the face of the plate F which forms a background for them, while the disk V is of a contrasting color. The face of the plate F is preferably painted some dark color, and the number on 100 the dial the same color, while the disk V is painted white or some light color. j'lhe' result of this arrangement is that when-looking at the front of the machine the numbers upon the dial \V are not visible,or are at least. quite indistinct, exceptingthe one behind. which the '5- disk V is standing, as in the case of the zero in Fig. 1. Whenv the disk is turned forward .to aposition behind any one of the numbers that number is brought prominently into view, while the others remain indistinct, and thus the indication is made. There a connection between the shaft E and sleeve T, hcrcinafterdescrihed, by which the forward movement of the handle J and shaft E will carry the sleeveand disk V with 5 them, but which permits the handle and disk. to return to normal position independently ofthe sleeve and disk, The sleeve '1 has fast upon it near its rear end, Fig. 6, a pinion Y,

Fig. 3, with which meshes a rackv Z carried by an arm A hung at 0 upon the same support as the arm-Nwhich carriesthe rack M. A coiled spring B issecuredl'at its uppe'r end to the armA and at its lower end to the rod R, and when the disk V is moved forward from normal position,'to'the left in Fig. 1,and

the sleeve T and pinion'Y turned in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 3, the rack Z will be lifted and the spring B put under'ten'sion, and when the parts are released the spring will reset them to normal position, the arm A resting against the same rod S which supports the arm N on the rack M. Fast upon the extreme rear end of the sleeve '1, Fig. 6, is an.

arm 0. Upon the rear side of this arm is a projecting lug D,Figs.3 and 9, which travels with-in the peripheral flange formed upon the forward .side of the disk K,-Fig. 8. The flange of the disk K is provided with-an inwardly projecting lug E, Fig. 8, which oo- 0 operates with the projection D on the arm C. \Vh'enever theoperating handleis moved forward, to the leftin Fig. l, and the shaft E and disk K turned in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 3, the engagement of the projecupon the arm 0 fast to the sleeve '1 will cause the sleeve, and consequently the arm Uand disk X to turn forward with the open ating handle and shaft E, audit will be seen that if the sleeve and parts-carried by it be caught and held in the position to which they are moved by the operating handle, the latter,

when released, will be ret urned to normal.

position without them. Thesleeve T has fast Y, inthis instance integral with the pinion Fig. 6, a ratchet wheel F, Figs. 2 and 5, with which co -operate apawl arm G,'Fig. 2, loosely hung at its upper end upon a shaft H. As

the ratchet'is turned forward its teeth slip under thletlower end of this pawl and when. the ratchet'is released the pawl holds it, and all the parts carried by the sleeve T',incl.uding the indicating disk V, in the position to which they have been moved, while the operating handle, shaft E, and parts carried by the lat- CCP vet-uri'l to normal position. The ratchet tion E on the disk K with the projection D upon it immediately in front of thepinion F and parts moving with it will be retained in the position to which they have been moved.

until the pawl GJis disengaged from the ratchet, whereupon the spring-B will'resetthe rackZ and return the parts to initial position.

The pawl arm G is provided midway of .its length with a slot through whichv passes a pin orscrew I secured in an arm J hung from the same shaft I-I, Fig. 3, so thatthe pawl arm G has limited movement upon the arm I. The latter is recessed at its lower end aitd provided with two notches with which cooperate a detent arm K yicldingily held in engagement with the notches 'by a spring L.

With the parts in the position shown in. Figs. Y

2 and 3, it'- the lower endof the ar-mzJCbe swung to the left until'the detch't K engages the right hand notch in its lower end the pin I passing throughthe slot in the pawlarm G will carry theylowerend of the latter to the left.- and disengage it from the ratchet F,

leaving-the latter free to return tenorma'l,

and holds it in engagement with the ratchet except when moved to the left by the arm J in the manner above described. The arm J has pivoted to its rear side an arm Niexten'ding to the right over the disk K and provided with a hook 0 extending downward besidethe front edge of the disk in a position to cooperate with the upper end of the arm 0 which is fast on the sleeve '1. As seen in-Fig' 7 the arm N is of sufficient width both to rest upon the disk K and project forward beyond its edge, and in additicntcftho hookwvhich project-s downward opposi' the disk it is provided with anabrupt end PYwhich is adapted to co-operatewith the shoulder of a notch Q in the periphery of the disk K at its forward edge, Fig. 8. \Vhe n the parts are iii their normal position of rest the engagement of the upper end of the arm (1" with the hooked end 0 of the arm N pulls thcarm J to theright and holds its'lcft hand notch in engagement with the detent .K. The arm C, engaging also the under side of the arm N, holds the latter slightly lifted, so that its end 1 is abo e the surface of the disk K. In this position of the parts the operating handle and disk K are free to he turned forward, the disk carrying the arm G with it, in the manner before explained, and the pawl G engaging the ratchet F and holding the latter and the parts moving with it in the position to which they are turned by-the operating han-' dle. lVhen the latter is released and with the disk K returns to normal position the arm N.

will rest directly upon theperiphery of the disk, since the arm C is not in position to hold it above the disk. Upon again turning the operating handle and disk K forward thoshoulder of the notch Q, in the disk K. will engage the end I of the {it'll-ill and move.

As the'arm N moves downward the rear rounded side-of the lug S engages the rounded endof the hook and pushes the upper end of the lever slightly to the left until. it clears the hook and the latter then catches over it. a It will be seen that there is a slight space between the upper surface of the. lug S and' the hook on the lever R, so that the arm N can move upward a very short distance before the lug S comes in contact with the hook. This is to permit the operating handle to be moved forward far enough to effect the release of the indicator in the manner before explained; but it will beseen that-it is impossible to'movethe handle beyond this-point and that the hooked lever positively looks it and-the arm N until the indicator is completely returned to initial po-' 'sition' and the rack arm A lowered far enough for its pin '1" to move the hooked levcroutof the path of the lug S. In this manner,owing to the fact that the hook of the lever stands directly in the path of the lug at the end of each indicating operation the forward movement of the operating handle ijseyond the releasing point is absolutely prevented until the indicatorand connected parts arereturn'ed to initial position.

For-the purpose of preventing too violent return of the indicator to initial position undcr the impulse of the spring'B' I connect the rack arm/A to a lever U which has connected to itthe piston-rod V or a piston which fits within a cylinder Wclosed at both -ends and approximately filled with a liquid,

preferably'oil. The piston is either perforated or does not fit the cylinder snugly, so

that it can move up and down therein slowly,

the oil escaping from in front of it as it moves, \Vhcn the operating handle and indicatorare turnedforward and the rack arm A lifted the piston is lifted in the cylinder 'W. and the oil passes below it; When the indicator is released and the spring .13 pulls the arm A downward, to reset the parts, the connection of the arnrwith the piston in the cylinder *will prevent the spring acting too quickly and Jar-ring or breaking any of the parts.

The registering mechanism of the machine is substantially the same as that shown and described in my prior patent aforesaid. There is looselyniounted upon the sleeve 'l immediately in front of the ratchet F, Fig.2, a gear wheel X which meshes with agear wheel upon theprimary whcel'Y of a train of registering wheels, and a pawl Z pivoted to the ratchet l and springpressed into engagement with the gear X causes the ratchet to turn the gear wheel and primary registering zwheelrwith it during its torwagd movement from zero to indicating, position, but permit them to remain at the point to which they have been moved while the ratchet wheel and indicator return to initial'positi'on. In this manner the amount of each indication is added uponthe train of registering wheels,

the wheel Y adding its revolutions upon a secondary wheel A", the latter upon a, third wheel I)" and a latter upon a fourth Wheel C in the usual manner. A pawl arm D engaging the gear of the primary registering wheel X prevents'any back'wardmovement'ofi the registeringwheols. l. i r

The sliding money'drawer D-is provided at its rear end. with'a locking-plate E. with which co-operates a vertically-guided locking bolt 7 A F arranged. to be lifted out of engagement with the locking plateE ateach'operation of the machine, whereupon ithedrawer 'will be thrown open'by' the action of a'ceilcdspring;

G", Fig. 4, whicheonnccts-the shortarms of v a pair of hell crank levers-11?, and-tends tothrow their outer end's forward; he bolt F is pivoted at its upper end to thejouteuend of a short arm I, FigQG-and dottedlines Fig. 4, which iS fast on. the-rearseason-atmosshaft J? journaled in brackets K near its front and rear ends. Near-its front end the shaft J has fast upon it an arm L Fig. 4, to

the outer end of which is pivoted the lower i end of a link M whose upper end is pivoted to an arm N Figs. 4 and =5,'hung'on the s aft O'betore described. The arm N has pivoted to it at O a. plate 0 which has a shoulder-P adapted to co-operate with a lifterarm Q 'fast on the shaft EL When the shaftis turned in the direction of .the'arro'w. the arm Q -engages the lower abrupt side ofithe shoulder P of the plate 0 and lifts the arm N and link M? and rocks the shat J'- and releases the drawer. During the return movement of the shaft -E the arm Q ridesover'the rounded upper surface of the shoulderPtaud forces the plate 0 aside as -itrpasses;whereupon the plate-is moved to the. right again by the action of a suitable spring, not shown; In this man ncr at the beginning'of each forward will be released and-automatically thrown open. v

For the purpose of preventing operation of movement of the operating handle the drawer the machine except when the cash drawer is '15 will hold the. parts in such position that the hooked end of the arm R is slightly above the path of travel of the arm U on the shaft E, but when the drawer is released and thrown open the bolt F isfrce to move farther downward and a spring V? connected to the arm N pulls the latter and connected parts down ward until a stop NV? on the link M Figs; 5 w

the link M at right angles at its lower end and secured upon the'link MPbya slot and screw. 'Upon and Gengages the bottom of v the casing, and

this downward movement of. the arm N will. lower the hooked end of" the arm R into thepath ofthe arm U on the-shaft E, sothat the latter cannot be turned forward until the drawer isclosed and'locked again and the "hooked end ofthearm R lifted above the arm U The stop W is vertically adj ustable upon consistingof a slotted plate bent loosening the screwand lowering the plate until its lower end rests upon the bottom of the casing, and then tightening up the screw, the-link'M and the locking arm R will be permanently held in their upper position, so

that the machine can be operated at all times,

whether-the drawer be open or closed. A

Agong X is arranged'to be sounded by a striker'Y carried by a lever Z pivoted at A, Figs. "at-and 5, and having pivoted to its lower end a trip-B whose left hand end in Fig. 5 is widenedand-rests in the cornerformed by the junctionof the .two upper arms 'of the plate G and also projects laterally into the 1 path of the arm U on the shaft E, -When said'shaft is turned forward in the direction of the arrow the arm U will carry the trip B and lower end of the lever Z to the right in Fig.5, (to the left in Fig 1,) untilthe end of. the arm U clears the trip, whereupon a spring C connected at its right hand end to the trip and at its left hand end to one of tinarms of the plate G will throw the parts back to normal position and cause the striker "f to sound the gong.
