ATTACHMENT FOR; CASH-REGISTERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 631,928, dated August 29, 1899.
Application filed December 6, 1898. Serial No. 698,469. No mod m To a, whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOSEPH DE LEON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Annapolis, in the county of Anne Arundel and State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Attachment for Cash-Registers, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in attachments for cash-registers.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efficient device adapted to be applied to cash-registers without altering the construction there of and capable of holding a bill within sight of a purchaser and the salesman while change is being made to prevent any doubt arising relative to the denomination of the bill presented, thereby insuring both the purchaser and the seller from mistakes or fraud in this respect.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are elevations of a cash-register provided with an attachment constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the device detached. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view of one end of the device, illustrating the manner of securing the same to a cash-register.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates a resilient clamping-frame designed to be arranged adjacent to a nameplate 2 of a cash-register 3, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings, and capable of receiving a bill to be changed and adapted to hold the same in plain sight of the purchaser and the salesman while the proper amount is being deducted therefrom, so that no error or fraud can arise from such a transaction or any mistake occur relative to the denomination of the bill presented. The clamping-frame, which may be constructed of any suitable material, is preferably made of a single piece of steel or other resilient wire, and it has a general V shape, as shown, its terminals being secured to a horizontal rod 4. The wire is bent to form a central upper V-shaped portion 5 and is coiled at the apex, the coil extending outward and forming a convenient handle or grip to en-. able the frame to be drawn away from the name-plate when it is desired to introduce a bill into the device. At the base or lower terminals of the sides of the V-shaped portion 5 the wire is bent to form spring-coils 6, which increase the resiliency of the device, and between the coils 6 and the rod 4 the wire is bent to form opposite V-shaped portions 7, which have their apexes curved outward slightly to enable them to be readily grasped.
The upper and side V-shaped portions form resilient projecting tongues, which are adapted to hold a bill, card, or analogous object in plain sight.
The terminals of the wire may be secured to the rod 4 in any suitable manner, but they are preferably arranged in perforations of the same, and the terminals of the rod are reduced to provide horizontal stems 8, which are threaded for the reception of nuts 9 and clamping-plates 10. The nuts 9 are preferably of ornamental form and may have the shape of balls, as shown, and the clamping plates or washers extend rearward from the rod and engage the side edges of the register, as clearly illustrated in Fig. at of the accom panying drawings. The nuts enable the desired clamping action to be obtained, and by this construction the device is readily applied to a cash-register without necessitating any alteration in the construction of the same.
Instead of employing the clamping device shown in the accompanying drawings other clamping devices may be provided to accommodate the attachment to the particular form of cash-register to which it is to be applied.
note in plain view, so that no doubt can arise through mistake or fraud as to the denomination of the bill presented, thereby insuring both a purchaser and a salesman against loss and annoyance from such sources.
Changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
What is claimed is- 1. A device of the class described compris 1 ing a clamping-frame constructed of resilient material and adapted to be arranged adjacent to a cash-register to clamp a bill or note against the same, and a support carrying the frame and provided at its ends with clamping devices adapted to engage a cash-register,
V-shaped portion having .a projecting coil at its apex to form a handle and provided at 0pposite sides with spring-coils, and the lower oppositely disposed substantially V- shaped projecting portions, and means for securing the clamping-frame to a cash-register, substantially as described.
4. A device of the class described comprisinga resilient clamping-frame, a rod provided at" its ends with threaded stems, clampingplates mounted on the threaded stems and adapted to engagea cash-register, and nuts engaging the threaded stems and bearing against the clamping-plates, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
