ALLENDE VILBISS, JR, OF TOLEDO, OHIO, ASSIGNOR, BY DIRECT AND MESNE OF TWO-SIXTH TO JOHN F. PIXLEY, ONE
ASSIGNMENTS,
-THIRD TO ALICE S. WELLS, AND ONE-SIXTH TO MARTHA PARK, OF GOLUMBUS, OHI
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALLEN DE VILBISS, Jr., a citizenof the United States, and a resident of Toledo, Lucas county, 'State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vertical Locks; and my preferred forth in the following full, clear, and exact description, terminating with a claim particularly specifying "the novelty.
This invention relates to recorders, more especially ofthat class known as recording locks such as are actuated by any one of several individuals.
The primary object of the present invention is to produce a recording-lock which, each time its bolt is moved in either direction, will furnish a correct designation of the individual who operated it,"or rather, of the means employed in the operation of the look. I may also employ mechanism to be set by hand or otherwise so that a simultaneous sion of. the movement of the bolt in either direction. In some cases an hour wheel may be added to furnish a more exact time-record and in certain forms of the look a clock mechanism may be employed to automatically set the time-indicatorthe hour wheelonly, or
thereof.
The present invention is an improvement over that described in my U. S. Patent No.
provement over and contains modified forms of some of the details of my two pending applications bearing Serial Numbers 171,256 and 175,015. In its preferred form, the casing of the present lock is quite narrow and rather tall so as to adapt it to .certain uses as occasion may demand, and I call it the vertical lock. to distinguish it from the others. However, the principal point of difference is that in the present invention the setting of a differentiating member and its rotation inone direction to shoot the bolt actuates the various mechanisrrs precisely as would its to retract the bolt, excepting only that if said member is differently set for these'two steps a different indication will result, and if the hour wheel isv employed as in the modi- Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed September 18'. 1904.; Serial No. 224.281.
the diflerentiating Fig. V is a view of the third views of said slide in two fied form of the present device a different hour or hour and fraction will be indicated 1 Patented Feb, 18, 1908.
by the two steps Various means and mechanisms may be employed for setting said member, rotating it, or both; and the scope of my invention contemplates the use of one or more keys, one or more knobs, one or more of each, the permutation-lock system, or any other device oifidevices which will produce the end desired. For purposes of illustration I have in this specification set forth one manner of carrying out the idea, namely by the use of'keys of difi'erent lengths for different workmen; but I desire to be understood as intending to cover the principle involved, no
matter what means are employed for-setting either direction.
In the accompanying drawings :Figure I is an elevation of the simpler form of this look member and turning it in with the inner face plate removed-and the a bolt shot. Fig. II is a similar elevation excepting that the bolt is retracted, the winding spools for the ink ribbons and pa er stri being indicated indotted lines.
similar elevation with the parts position between Figs. I and II.
in the first The slide 4 as here been turned sufiiciently to set the key-indicator, and the tumbler has moved thefeed lever. Fig. IV is a similar view showing the second position in which the lug on the tumbler has raised the bolt-stop. osition in which said lu is retracting the b0 t, on the atter is actuating the alining'mechanism, and its 11 per cam is moving the platen. Further rotation of. the tumbler brings the arts back to the position shown in Fig. II.
ig. VI is a view similar to Fig. II, excepting that an hour wheel, date and month wheels, a clock mechanism, and an escapement are added, the hour wheel being partly broken away to show the escapement-wheel which Works in con'unction wlth it. Fig. VII is a pers ective' etail showing the operation of the c ock lever on the point of the escapement. Fig. VIII is a central vertical section through the esca ement, the various timewheels, and the p aten. Fig. IX is an inner view of the date and month wheels and the bracket for supporting them. Fig. X is a perspective view of the main tumbler and the slide therethrough. Fig. XI shows side positions. Fig. XII is an edgeview of the main tumbler; and Fig. XIII is an enlarged elevation thereof.
ig.II isa the lower cam I The lock proper comprises a casing 1 secured to the inner side of a door or frame 2, which latter is bored to receive a tumblertube of the usual pattern. in the presentinstance, a key passes through this tube and operates the tumblers therein in the well known manner. In one form of embodiment of my invention I propose to employ keys of different lengths as the means to be recorded and each of which is adapted to control the operation of certain. parts of the apparatus according to the length of such keys, as will appear more fully hereinafte therefore the length of the inner projecting end of the key is important. This key turns the main tumbler 13 through whose axis extends an aperture in which moves a differentiating member. By preference the latter is a slide 7 having a cylindrical body with longitudinal slots 8 engaging tongues 6 which. project into a circular hole in the tumbler whereby these parts rotate together in either direction but the slide is movable longitudinally within the tumbler. The inner end of the differentiating member has a varying dimension; as here shown it is tapering or conical at 9. (preferably in steps), one side of the cone being cut away as at 22; and the entire slide is )ressed normally outward into the tumbler tu e by means of a spring 21 which is suitably attached to the casing 1 and bears against the reduced tip 20 otthe slide. Said tumbler 13 carries a rearwardly projecting lug or cam 130 which moves within anopening 14 in the bolt 15, whereby thelatter is shot or retracted by the movements of the lug. There may also be used a movable stoplever 21 4 here shown as pivoted to the bolt and having a pin or nose 215 which normally engages a fixed stop 217 carried by the casing, and a projection 119 on this lever stands within the opening 14 in the bolt" so that as the tumbler 13 rotates i ts lug 1 30 engages said projection and raises the lever to-release the olt before the lug moves the latter in either direction. I
In the present case the keys are differentiated from each other by slight differences in the length of their inner ends. The designating mechanism shown in Figs. I and VI of the present case, includes a time-indicator, a key-indicator, aninker for both, a aper roll from which a strip 'is drawn over t 1e indicators by a paper-feed, and a plat-en for producing a record on said strip from said indicators;
but it will be clear that the inker could be,
omitted and the characters punched through or indented into the strip, or indicated on a strip or other object in any suitable manner wit out departing from the spirit of my invention. The recording mechanism in Fig. VI shows the month and date wheels and an hour wheel driven independently by a clock mechanism} whereby in addition to the month and date the hour (or in some cases more exact points of time) is recorded when the boltis moved in either direction. The present specification and drawings merely show'one manner of carrying out the broad idea, and the various parts enumerated will now be described separately in as much detail as is necessary to their comprehension.
is an inking ribbon leading from spool 71 to that numbered 73, and between them passing over suitable guides; 80 is a paper strip leading from a spool 81 over suitable guides to aspool 83; 78 is the lever for turning these spools intermittently by means of its hooks 76 and 86 engaging ratchets 74 and 84 on the s ools, the latter being held by retaining paw is and 85; and 90 is the platen mountedon a slide91 which is borne normally away from the paper by a sprin 93. These various parts have substantiafiy the same functions as equivalent elements in my atent above referred to, though with a l'oc of the present construction their operating means are necessarily slightly different. I will describe the means shown in the attached drawings for operatingthese parts, although I do not wish to be confined to these specific devices in the construction of claims which cover these elements broadly.
The lever 7 8 is normally raised by a spring 780. At its upper end it carries a projection or wheel 79; or, as in the present case, an addition al and supporting lever 790 may carry this wheel which will stand within a camnotch 500 in the tumbler 13 when the bolt is atrest. To move the bolt in either direction, a complete revolution of this tumbler is necessary, and in such revolution said wheel is depressed and with it the lever 78this action of the lever thereby causing the feed of I the ribbon and paper strip.
The slide 91 which supports the platen may be operated in many specifically different ways. In the present arrangement to which, however, my invention is not to be limited or restricted, this slide carries at its 10' upper end a projection or wheel 96 which is engaged by a projection or ,cam 94 on the bolt as the latter is moved .in either direction hence the movement of the bolt raises the platen against the tension of the spring 93 and presses the paper against the ribbon and the ribbon against the type-no matter in which direction the bolt moves. The key-indicator may be variously constructed and operated within the spirit and scope of my invention. In the present form which I have selected for purposes of illustration, the key recording mechanism comprises a segment 50 pivotally mounted on a which is here drawn normally upward by and hence the swing of the segment 50 and printing as above described'the feed of the corresponding spindle being j ournaled on the shaft 38. 6F
' escapement is held raised by means of a tion 61 whlch is engaged by a cam 62 on the edge; and at one side ofthe shaft thereis pivoted tothe sector at 54 a push-bar 26 means of a spring 55.
i 56 designates an alining lever pivoted at 57 and having a point 58 adapted to enter one of said notches 52 but held normally out of it by a spring 60; and this lever has a projecbolt as the latter moves in either direction.
The upper end of the bar 26 is controlled by being engaged by one of the steps 9 as the key presses inward and rotates. the slide 7, and the radius of that step re ulates the degree to which the bar 26 shal be depressed the character thereon which is brought above the platen. Further turning of the slide moves the bolt which next operates the alining lever so as to hold the segment steady, and then operates the platen to produce the ribbon and paper having been accomplished at some other time before the printing is actually taking lace.
The time-indicator employed in connection with the key-indicator, in the simplest type of the resent invention, consists of month and ate wheel's (more fully illustrated in Fig. VI) preferably ofthe following construction: 30 1s a month' wheel having twelve characters on its edge and a tubular shaft 31, the latter havin a handle 310 moving over a dial or provifedwith a stud 311 at its outer end adapted to spring into one of a series of twelve numbered sockets 312 in a bracket 314 su ported by the casing, which bracket forms t e bearing for the month and date mechanisms. 32 is a date wheel having thirty-one characters on its edge, and its shaft 33 (which is j our naled within the tubular shaft) may also carry a handle 330 moving over a dial 331 carried by the bracket 314, by means of which handle the date Wheel can be set manually.
The time-indicator, in an amplified form of the present invention, may also include means or indicating finer divisions of time than the month and ,date, as follows: The hour wheel (so called because it has twentyfour ty e-indications on its edge, though it might ave a greater number indicating quarter hours or even finer divisions of time) comprises a main wheel 36 through whosev hub extends the tubular spindle 43 of an escapement wheel 44 having peripheral teeth in number with that of the hour indications on the main wheel, said 442 is anescapement pivoted at 443 within the casing and havin its points alternately engaging-the teeth 0 the wheel 44. This spring 444, and is depressed periodically (in l trip properly actuated by a clock mechanism could be employed. Said clock mechanism is designated by the numeral 441, and from it dependsa lever 4,45 carrying a beveled latch 446 bornenormally inward by a spring 447. 448 is a point on the escapement which stands in the path of this latch. As the latter moves in one direction, its spring permits the latch to yield so that it passes behind the point, while in its movement in the opposite direction it travels up'the-inclined si e of the point and depresses the latter to actuate the escapement in a manner which will be clear. It will hardly be necessary to illustrate or describe the means by which the clock mechanism 441 swings this lever, but it will be clear that its movement will periodically turn the main wheel 36v one step so as to bring a new type face over the platen. The frictional mounting of the hub of said main wheel on the spindle 43 of the escapement wheel permits the hour wheel to be turned by hand to se'tits type-faces with respect to the teeth of the escapement.
The time-indicator as a whole, comprising the date wheels and the hour-wheel, may be set automatically to a certain extent, as bythe following mechanism: 35 is a ratchet wheel having thirty-one teeth in its edge,
and the hub of this wheel is mounted frictionally on the shaft 33. of the date wheel at one side of the latter. 375 is a stud on the bracket 314 from which extends aretaining pawl 380 engaging the teeth of the ratchet. 376 is a hook journale'd loosely on the shaft 33 and carrying an operating pawl 377, this hook being drawn toward the stud by a spring 378. The outerend of this hook is engaged by a spiral cam 379 which is carried by a sleeve 37 mounted frictionally on the spindle- 43 of the escapement wheel 44. Thus at every revolution of the latter the cam draws the hook against the tension of its spring and then releases it, and such release permits the spring to retract the hook and turn the ratchet the distance of one tooth. Such turning carries the date wheel one step forward and automatically changes the date. It is clear that by slight multiphcation of mechanism the date'wheel could be made to set the month wheel automatically, but as the months differ in the number'of days I the manualsetting above described. The bracket 314 is so located and the diameters of the date and month wheels are such that their type faces stand flush with those of the prefer to retain simplicity and employ hour wheel and those on the segment 50,
and hence the movement of the platen will simultaneously print'the key-indication to .gether with the month, date and hour of its use, it being understood that the hour and minute could be indicated by proper subhour wheel.
