FRED J. NUTTING, OF DAYTON, OHIO, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS,
TO THE NATIONAL CASH REGISTER COMPANY, OF JERSEYCITY, NEWV JERSEY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 664,359, dated December 18, 1900. Application filed September 22, 1897. Serial No. 652,560. tNo model.)
.To @ZZ whom t may concern:
Beit known that I, FRED J. NUTTING, a citizen of. the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Autographic Registers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact description of t-he invent-ion.
f novel means employed to accomplish this end.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a Vertical longitudinal section through the center of the machine on the line l l of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a top plan view ofthe machine with the top casing and the platen removed.
Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, with the walls of. the storage-compartment, the platen, and the clamp- .i ing-hooks, which are shown in Fig. l, omitted.
Fig. iis a View of the superimposed cams ein. ployed to alternately open and close the fold-` ing-blades. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the slides which carry the foldingrollers. Fig. 6 is a detail," sectional view of the handle of the platen, showing the stem, which is elliptical-shaped in cross-section. Fig. 7 is a detail View showing a portion of one of the side Walls of the filing-compartments with a bracket secured thereto. Fig. 8 is a detail perspective View of the holder for securing the end of the record-strip to the platen.
The same letters of reference indicate identical parts in all the iigures of the drawings. The working parts of the machine are inclosed Within the usual casing A, having a usual top B, which is transversely slotted at b, b', and b2. The portion of the lid lying between the slots b' and b2 forms the writingtablet O, over which the paper sheets are led from the record-roll O' and the check-rolls O2 and O3. Carbon-sheets are in practice interposed between the record-strip c' and the check-strips c2 and c3 in the usual manner,
andafter the proper record has been made upon the top sheet the checks are torn off at the slot b2, while the record-strip is led into the machine through the slot b' and down to the folding mechanism, where it is manipulated in a manner I shall presently describe. The crank D is fixed upon a short shaft which extends through the side of the case A, and uponV its inner end is secured the drivinggear E, which is also secured to and turns the lower feed-roller e, which coperates with the upper feed-roller e' to feed the check-strips when the crank is turned. The record-strip c', it will be noted, is not moved by the feedrollers, but by means of the folding mechanism, as I shall presently describe. Meshing with the driving-gear E is an intermediate gear F, which in turn meshes with the main gear F'. A short shaft G is secured at; one end to the main gear and is driven thereby. Upon its other end is secured the bevel-gear g, which meshes with and drives the horizontal bevel-gear g'. This is secured upon the short vertical shaft G', upon the lower end of which are secured two superimposed partlycircular cams H H', which are shown in detail in Fig. 4 of the drawings and which are `for the purpose of opening and closing the folding-blades, as will presently be described.
'Ihe record-strip c', ext-ending over the writing-tablet C, reuters the machine through vthe slotb' and is led thence between a pair of folding-rollers I I', which at their ends are `Journaled in a pair of reciprocating slides .I
J', which slide inside the machine in parallel grooves or slideways J 2, which are formed in the opposite sides of the case A. Upon its under side each slide carries a rack J3, which meshes with the segment-rack K, which is pivoted at K' to the side of the case of the register. Driven from the main gear Ff is a crank-'arm F2, and a link F3 is pivoted at one end to the crank-arm and at the other end to the body portion K2 of the segment-rack.
It will be readily seen from the mechanism thus far described that when the crank D is turned motion will be transmitted through the gears F and F' and the link F3 to vibrate the segment-rack K, which in turn will reciprocate the slides .I and the folding-rollers I l', carried thereby.
IOO
, is the horizontal platen M.
The storage-compartment is rectangular in cross-sections, being formed by transverse Walls LL between theinner frames A'. When the crank is turned, the folding-rollers I I reciprocate lengthwise of the machine, the travel being from one of the transverse walls L to the other. Fitting within the storagecompartrnent and movable vertically therein Near the corners of the storage-compartment (see Fig. 2) are four vertical rock-shafts` N, the lower end of each passing through the bottom of the case (see Fig. 3) and each having a collar n secured upon its lower end.- Coiled on each rock-shaft is a helical spring n', whichat it-s lower end is fastened to the case or other fixed part of the machine. At its upper end it is fastened to the rock-shaft, so that if any rockshaft be rocked or turned from normal position the spring will return it to normal position as soon as itis released. Near their upper ends the rock-shafts each has a bearing in one of the four brackets N', which are rigidly secured, preferably, to the walls of the storage-compartments, and upon its upper surface each of said brackets N has a radially-extending rib n2, for a purpose to be presently described.
Secured rigidly to the rock-shafts at the upperends thereofare two pai rs of folding-blades N2 N3, respectively. Rigidly secured to each rock-shaft near the lower end thereof is one of four arms N4, for a purpose to be presently described.
Mounted to slide upon the floor or bottom ofthe case of the machine are a pair of reciprocating frames O O', and each frame consists of a .cross-bar, at the ends of which hare short `parallel arms o o, respectively, which extend lengthwise of the machine, and these frames are.l arranged to alternately open and close the `pai/rs of folding-blades, as will be presently described. Secured upon the vertical shaft G', near the lower end thereof and turning therewith, are the superimposed partlycircular. cams H H. A hook-shaped bar P is pivoted at its left-hand end to the reciprocating frame O", audits right-hand end bears upon the periphery of the lower cam H. A straight bar P is pivoted at its left-hand end to the other reciprocating frame O and at its right-hand end bears against the periphery ofthe upper cam H. Helical springs p, connected at their ends to the reciprocating frames, exert a pressure tending to draw the frames together, thereby holding the bars P P closely against the periphery'of their respective cams, and the cams are so positioned with respect to each other that when the crank D is turned the reciprocating frames will be actuated to alternately open and close the folding-blades. With the operating parts as shown in Fig. 2, for example, after the crank D has been turned in the direction of the arrow a certain. distance the reciprocating frame O. will he driven to the left, and the ends of the short parallel arms o will strike the arms N4, one-of which is secured to each rockshaft N near the lower' end thereof, and as the reciprocating frame O continues to advance toward the left the rock-shafts N, upon which the folding-blades N2 are secured, will be rocked, and as the folding-blades, as previously described, are rigidly secured upon the upper ends of these rock-shafts the folding-blades will be turned inward to the closed position in which the blades NSare-shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.
By reference to Fig. 3 it will be seen that each folding-blade is secu red to a hub n3, and projecting from the lower surface of each hub is a radially-extending rib n4. As the blades open outward their respective ribs n4 strike the ribs n2 of the brackets Nl, and upon further movement of the blades the ribs ride over each other and then drop back, thus causing a temporary elevation of the foldingblades,for a purpose to be presently described. It will be observed that when the ribs ride over each other the rock-shafts are raised against the force of the spring n', the collar 'n being secured upon the lower end of the rock-shaft and far enough below the bottom of the case A to permit the necessary elevation of the rock-shafts and of the foldingblades carried thereby. The several ribs n2 n4 are so positioned that the folding-blades are elevated just as they start from open toward closed position.
The handle Q is rigidly secured upon the lower en d of the vertical shaft q, which at its upper end turns in a suitable bearing formed in the platen M. (See Fig. l.) In cross-section the vertical shaft q is elliptical (see Fig. 6) and, for example, if it is desired to lower the platen and fasten it at a low position for convenience in removing the paper it is only necessary to give the handle Q a quarterturn, whereupon the shaft q, being elliptical in cross-section, when turned will drive the plu ngers Q' against the transverse walls L of the storage-compartment. The said plungers slide freely in supports Q2, which are secured to the under side of the platen, and
when the handle is returned to the position shown in Fig. l suitable springs q return the plungers to normal position, thereby releasing the platen and'permitting the helical supporting-springs Q5 to force it upward against the folded paper or, if there be no folded paper in the storage-compartment, against the swinging ends of the clampinghooks RR', of which there are four, one near each corner of the storage-compartment. These hooks operate in pairs, the hooks R being secured upon the ends of the transverse shaft R2, which is suitably journaled in brackets fr, secured to the transverse walls L, (see Fig. 1,) and the hooks R upon the Vends of the shaft R3, parallel to the shaft R2 and on the opposite side of the storage-compartment. The ends of the hooks R R', which project into the storage-compartment, are beveled at r and force the clamping- IOO IIO
hooks backward. The springs r2, coiled upon the ends of the clamping-hooks R R', respectively, and on one side the rods extend transversely, so that one end of each moves under the slide J'. Rigidly secured to the slide J (see Fig. are two down wardly-extending toesjj, and as the slide .I reaches the extremes of its movement thev toes strike the rods S S valternately to retract the clam pingliooks and permit the folding-blades to close.
In lthe practical operation of my invention the llid B is removed and the rolls C, C2, and
are dropped into the machine, being supported by the horizontal spindles C4 C5 C6, respectively,-which are journaled in suitable bearings C7, secured tothe inner frames A. From the rolls the paper strips (see Fig. l) are led through the slot b overthe writingtablet C, and the two top or check strips pass thence between the feed-rollers and out the slot b2. The third or record strip c is led into the machine through the slot b', thence-between the folding-rollers I I', and the end of the strip is secured to the platen M by inserting it under the holder T, (see Fig. 8,) which extends transversely of the platen and is pivoted at its ends to the sides thereof. When the crank is turned, the two top sheets are fed out in the usual manner, the movement of the handle is transmitted through the gears and the link F3 to the segment-rack K, which in turn reciprocates the slide J, and by means of the connecting-shafts I2 the slide J' is caused to reciprocate in unison with the slide J. As the end of the paper is fastened to the platen M, the reciprocation of the rollers causes the record-strip tobe drawn from the roll C'. During the movement of the rollers toward the clamping-hooks the latter are retracted, and the folding-blades are irst opened, and then they close in behind the folding-rollers, so that by the time the rollers are at an extreme of their travel the blades at that end of the storage-compartment are closed to form the loop and to retain it while the rollers make their return movement. When the rock-shafts are rocked, the ribs N2 N4 ride over each other, raising the folding-blades, so that they close above the part of the stripthat is being drawn across the storage-compartment, and as the folding-rollers reach the extreme of their movement the foldloop under the clamping-hooks, and the folding-blades then remain in closed position until the rollers travel to theother end of the storagecompartment and start on the return movement. As the folding-blades open the clamping-hooks grip the paper fold and press it down upon the folds which have been previously made. The cooperative action of the folding-rollers, the clamping-hooks, and the folding-blades are of course exactly the same at each end ot` the folding compartments. Vhen it is desired to remove the folded record-strip, the platen M is-lowered by means of the handle, which is then given a quarterturn to secure it in position. The record-strip may then be broken, preferably at a point between the folding-rollers and the slot h', and thereupon the record-strip can be readily removed.
I-Iaving thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl.
