AUTOGRAPHIC DUPLICATE RECORDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 740,108, dated. September 29, 1903.
Application filed January 15, I900- Serial No. 1510. (N model.)
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM WINsLow EATON, of Danvers, inthe county of Essex, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Autographic Duplicate Recorders, of which the following is a complete specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
Myinvention relates to that class of devices through which a shop-keeper is enabled to keep a record of daily sales in autographic records made by different salesmen, respectively.
The object of my invention, is to improve the simplicity and compactness of the recording device and to facilitate its manipulation in use.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a perspective view of my device complete,
illustrating the operation of tearing off a record with its duplicate and showing the record and intermediate carbon strips as torn sufficiently to exhibit the underlying duplicate strip. Fig..II is a perspective view of the recorder empty with the lid raised as for in-' sertion of the record and duplicate strips. Fig. III is a longitudinal vertical section of the subject-matter of Fig. I. Fig. IV is a detail fragmental view of the strip-assembling member, illustrativeof the manner of securing the carbon strip thereto.
Referring to the numeralson the drawings, 1 indicates the body of my device, which con-. sists, preferably, of an oblong box provided with a bottom 2 and provided as to about half its extent with a preferably fixed cover 3.
The body may be made of any suitable material, the object being to produce a light durable article that may be handled without any inconvenience. V
In juxtaposition to the edge of the fixed cover 3 I provide a strip-assembling member that preferably consists of two or more metallic plates land 5, formed integrally with side pieces 6, that are preferably pivoted, as indicated at '7, to the side walls 8 of the body 1. The parts are so arranged that the edge of the plate adjacent to that of the cover 3 should :be parallel to it and slightly separated from it. This space is designed to permit the withdrawal from the box of the duplicate strip 10, as of paper. (See Figs. I and III.)
The space which separates the platesa and 5 is in like manner designed to accommodate the record-strip 11, that inpractice overlies the duplicate strip 10, being directly superimposed upon an intermediate carbon strip 12.
Preferably to the strip-assembling member is secured a lid 14, which when closed completes the cover of the box and when open admits the insertion into the same of a supply of record and duplicate strips laid together and folded in alternate directions, as clearly illustrated in Fig. III. By making the body part of the device of extensive dimensions longitudinally and locating the strip-assembling member midwise thereof not only do the comparatively extensive surfaces of the lid 1& and the cover 3 afford means for making the necessary record, but also afford extensive box capacity for the accommodation of a supply of record and duplicate strips.
In order to pay out the strips smoothly through the strip-assembling member and without danger of tearing them,I provide near the end of the box and underneath the lid 1d a guide-rod 15, around which the strips pass and are guided to the strip-assembling member. The function of the strip-assembling member being to properly separate the strips 10 and 11, it is preferably hinged in order that when brought to the vertical position, as shown in Fig. II, it may facilitate the passing of the strips 10 and 11 through their respective slits or spaces, above described, but it should also afford accommodation for the intermediate carbon strip 12. It is therefore provided with a spring-clip or resilient bar 16, pivoted at one end, as indicated at 17, to one end of theplate 5. J At the opposite end it is provided with a hook 18, adapted 'to enter the recess 19, provided for it in the side piece 6, that is'opposite to its end 17. When soentered, the hook 18 through the resiliency of the bar 16 engages the plate 5 and is adapted to hold securely in its intermediate position between the strips 10 and 11 the carbon strip 12. The strips 10, 11, and 12, occupying their respective positions, lie smoothly against the face of the cover 3, against which they are preferably loosely confined, as by straps 20 and 21. The carbon strip 12 is shorter than the length of the cover 3, so that in a line approximate to the end of the body 1 the strips 10 and 11 alone remain together. At such a point I provide a cutter, which preferably consists of a blade 22, having a straight edge, against which when the blade is depressed the record-strips may be torn off smoothly.
The blade at one end is fixed, as indicated at 23, to the body 1. At the other end (see Fig. II) it is provided with an arm 24, that is pivoted,as indicated at 25,to the body 1. The cutting edge of the blade 22 is disposed at an angle to the underlying edge of the body 1, so that when by its resiliency the blade 22 rises clear of the body it leaves a projecting corner of the record and duplicate strips, by which they can be conveniently grasped and drawn forward for detaching the next record and duplicate.
The lid ii is preferably confined in place, as by a hasp or clip 26, that is secured to the end of the body 1. It is also preferably provided with a strap 27 that is adapt-ed to secure one end of a card, the other end of which is secured underneath the plate 4, that is sufficiently elevated above the lid 14 to accommodate it.
A card which may be employed for any preferred memoranda is indicated by referencenumeral 28 in Figs. I and III.
In place of the strip 21 and to perform its function the arm 2i beyond the fulcrum or pivot 25 may be provided with a clip 30, which being normally urged by the resiliency of the blade 22 against the face of the cover 3 serves to confine the strips upon the cover. When the blade 22 is depressed, the clip releases the strips and allows them to be pulled out as required.
What I claim is- 1. In an autographic recorder the combination with a body consisting of an oblong box provided with means for holding recordingstrips folded in alternate directions to fit the same, of a strip-assembling member comprising a pair of plates substantially as specified, and located midwise of the body, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. In an autographic recorder the combination with a body consisting of an oblong box adapted to contain recording-strips folded in alternate directions to fit the same, of a stripassembling member comprising a pair of plates substantially as specified, and located midwise of the body, and a guide-rod located across the body near one end thereof, above the folded strips therein.
3. In an autographic recorder the combination with a body consisting of an oblong box provided with a fixed partial cover, of a stripassembling member comprising a pair of plates parallel to the edge of the fixed cover and separated therefrom, and a lid secured to said member and constituting a movable eontinuation of the fixed portion of the cover.
I. In an autographic recorder the combination with a body provided with a partial cover, of a strip-assembling member comprising a pair of plates and side pieces pivoted to the body in such relation as to keep the plate nearer the cover, separated therefrom, and thereby to afford spaces for the passage of recording and duplicate strips, substantially as set forth.
5. In an autographic recorder the combination with a body and strip-assembling member thereof, of a resilient cutting-blade disposed at an angle to the edge of the body, and adapted to be depressed flat against the same, fixed at one end to the body, and movable at one end within fixed limits, substantially as set forth.
6. In an automatic recorder, the combination with a body and strip-assembling member thereof, of a resilient cutting-blade secured at one end to thebody and provided at the other end with an arm pivoted to the body and a clip upon the arm beyond. its pivotal point operating substantially in the manner and for the purpose specified.
In testimony of all which I have hereunto subscribed my name.
IVILLIAM \VINSLOlV EATON.
