I No. 881,717.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March 10, 1908.
Application filed November 27, 1906. Serial No. 345,367.
Be it known thetl, VViLLiAM P. QUEN TELL, a'citizen of the United States, residing at Manhattan borough, in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Calculating or Adding Machines, of which the following is a specification.
Thisinvention relates to machines for accurately adding or calculating, particularly in preventing overcount, and the invention resides in the novel. features of construction set forth in the following specification and claim and illustrated in the annexed drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a face elevation of a calculating machine embodying this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of F ig; 1. Fig. 3 shows a modification. Fig. 4 is a section along an as Fig. 3. Fig. 5 shows parts of Fig. .3, ins different position. Fig. 6 shows a further modification. Fig. 7 shows a further modification. In this drawing is shown a base or support awith frame having fulcrums or pivots for levers or keys d. The keys engage a movable bane which actuates a suitable conmotion or acti'iator such as a lever f with pawl g engaging suitable mechanism as for exam lo a. ratchet it. The latter can be connected in any suitable way to number or counting disks indicated at '21 and which can be of any well known construction.
A lock for the ratchet is shown at it which is also operated by the movable bar e as, presently explained. The engagement of the keys and bar e can be made by suitable pin and slot connection. In Fig. 1. the keys are shown slotted or forked and the bar has studs or pins m while in Fig. 6 ins are shown on the keys and the bar has s ots or recesses for the reception of the pins. Such transpositions of parts are included in the invention as will be obvious.
The' keys are shown with tails or arms a which as the key is actuated engage. tumblers or stop parts 0 and depress or move the same so as to be arrested against the stops or stop pins p as the bar is moved or slid by the key. A rapid operation or 'uick blow on the key will not cause the resiilting impetus to carry I the bar 6 beyond the proper limit since a tumbier booming to a stop 1) will prevent excessive or inaccurate movement of the bar.
' It can also be noted that the enga ement of a pin in with its respective fork or s ot will prevent excessive or inaccurate motion of the bar or transmission mechanism connected to or actuated by such bar.
The tumblers .0 form stopping means on the bar which stopping means are depressed or moved to stopping position before the key moves the bar. A certain space is shown be tween the pin m and its contacting part when the device is at rest. When a key is depressed thetail n at once depresses or engages the stopping tumbler 0 and after the tumbler has been moved to engaging position the pin m is engaged to move the bar. Such bar cannot therefore carry the tumbler in question past or over the stop as such tumbler is depressed before the bar begins to move. I
The stops p are shown on a bar 9 which when given a slight movement will actuate the lock 7c connected to the stop bar. A returning spring for the bar is shown at 1. Re-
turning springs are also applied where required as for example to the keys, the tumblers and so on.
The operation of the device is readily understood. As a key is actuated its tail n moves the corresponding tumbler to stop ping position and the key engaging bar 6 and moving the same moves pawl g and said bar 6 by its tumbler 0 engaging stop p also moves bar g so as to bring the lock it to the ratchet when the key is depressed. A sud den blow or tap on the key can thus not excessively rotate the ratchet --h since the lock it comes into action as the bar 6 is stopped by the stops p.
The stops p are arranged to arrestthe For exammechanism at various points. plc the etc at the extreme left is shown as allowing t e calculating mechanism to be moved the extent of only one tooth or figure while the other stops are calculated or setfor allowing movement to the extent of other numbers as for example two or nine or otherwise. The. tumblers 0 being set at various distances from stops p the her 0 has to move various extents before being arrested or stopped.
The'fstop bar g however in each case being moved only at the-closing part of f the movement of thebsr e isonly actuated sufiiciently to set the lock kin action, lad-Che ii an bars a g are shown parallel or alongside one another and a compact structure embodying this invention can be made. A retaining awl can be ap had as shown at s, but this orms no part 0 the invention;
In Fig. 1 the device is such that a depression ofa key actuates the addi or calculating Incchanism. In Fi 3 is s own a depieces forming-a bearing for the shaft of they ratchet h.
The stop bar g or stops p in Fig. 3 are shown 'fixe d or not made to actuate a lock.
The keys as seen in Fig. 4 are alternately Y made to extend on opposite sides of the bar c. This arrangement allowsthe parts to be assembled close to one another without interfering. As each key on actuation interlooks with the movable bar inaccurateor irregular movement'is prevented. I
The tumblers 0 can be omitted as the bar 'e becomes locked to'the-key through the pin and slot connection-and an excessive movement of the heyie'would ring or drag the tailof thekey or lever tofcontact with the r QF'P-i/ i, f i j he tumblers 0 are of advantage over slot and in look andstopfas'the tumblers insure abso ute;accuracy .;wherens a pin and slot while accurate enough fora-machine where the" arts moveconsiderable distances would not e as accurate ins machine where the:
