6.30 LOO 61 Renau UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIC 'WILLIAM G. LEMKUHL AND LOUIS LEMKUHL, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
INDICATOR FOR MAIL-BOXES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 638,584, dated December 5, 1899.
Application filed May 4, 1899. Serial No. 715,605. (No model.)
T to whmn it may concern:
Be it known that we, WILLIAM C. LEMKUHL and LOUIS LEMKUHL, citizens of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Indicators for Mail- Boxes; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertainsto make and use the same.
Ourinvention relates to indicators for mailboxes, and the object is to provide a means for indicating the fixed time at which the regular collections are to be made and a timedial and movable hands, which latter the collector sets to correspond to 01' indicate the time at which the next collection will be made.
To this end the invention consists in certain features of construction and combina tion of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings the same reference characters indicate the same parts of the invention.
Figure 1 is a front plan view of our improved mail-box indicator. Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view of the same.
1 denotes the front of the mail-box, which is formed with a recessed or depressed dial 2, and the morning and evening collections are indicated in verticalcolumns 3 and 40h either side of the dial. The words Next collection appear above the dial, and the minute and hour hands 5 and 6 are set to indicate the time at which the next collection will be made. The hour-hand shaft 7 has a bearing in the dial-plate and also in a bridge 8, supported by stud-posts 9 9, fixed to the dial. This shaft carries a fixed pinion 10, which meshes with a gear-wheel 12, mounted on the stud-post 9, and said gear-wheel carries a pinion 13, which meshes with a gear-wheel 14, fixed on the hour-hand sleeve 15, encompassing the minute-hand shaft 7 so that the rotation of the said shaft will impart the proper movement to the hour and minute hands.
By mounting the gear-wheel 12 and pinion to retain it in the position to which it may be adjusted.
The accompanying drawings show our invention in the best form now known to us; but many changes in the details might be made within the skill of a good mechanic without departing from the spirit of our invention'as set forth in the claims at the end of this specification. Y
Having thus fully described our invention,- what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
1. A mail-box collection-indicator compris ing a depressed dial, stud-pins fixed in said dial, a bridge supported by said stud-pins, a shaft journaled in the dial and bridge, a minute hand carried by the said shaft, a sleeve encompassing the shaft, an hour-hand and the gear-wheel fixed on the sleeve, a pinion fixed on the shaft, and a connecting gear-wheel and pinion mounted on one of said stud-pins and meshing with the pinion on the shaft and the gear-wheel on the sleeve,- substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. A mail-box collection-indicator comprising a dial and a manipulating-shaft, hour and minute hands, and a train of gearing connecting said hands and shaft, the latter provided with a handle, having a frictional contact with the dial, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof We have hereunto set our hands in presence of two subscribing wit nesses.
