' Application filed April 29, 1905. Serial No. 258,137.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE EDWARD I-IEYL-DIA, a subject of the King of Great Britain,- and a resident of Stratton, near \lv'arrington, England, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Exhibiting-- Machines, of which the following is a specification. v

The present invention relates to an exhilziting machine adapted to cause a picture, writing or other visual matter to be so exhibited as to be seen by a large number of persons.

In the drawings hereto annexed, I have shown my invention in connection with a stock ticker, but 1 wish it to be understood thatI do not-so limit my invention to the particular application which, for the purpose of illustration, 1 have delineated, as it may.

be used for a variety of purposes, such as the publication of news'bulletins, by newspapers,

the exhibition of advertisements, pictures and the like.

This invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claims.

I wilt now roceed to describe my invention, as it is s own the drawings, that is- .to say, in connection with a ticker instrument. 7

' The present ticker renders it necessary for persons to stoop over the instrument, and frequently grasp the thin paper strip, to ascertainthe quotations an prices recorded, and the like. Consequently but few persons canhave access to and read the record at the same time. It is my purpose to provide means whereby the, writing upon the strip, as it leaves the instrument, will be thrown upon a wall or screenin magnified seen by all present.--

letters, thereby enabling the writing to be In the accompanying drawings like characters of reference indicate like j-parts in all the views, andFigure 1 isa viewshowing the application. of the inventron to a ticker;

Fig. 2 is a view illustratingthe means for guiding the stri and fee the same in synchronism wit the ticker; 1g. 3 1s a side view of a portion' of the tape feeding mechanism. Fig. 3 is an edge view of the same. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the strip ortape employed, which strip in use iso a transparentnature. 1 I v Referring to the accompanymg drawmgs in detail, A is an ordinary ticker having the usual printing wheel a, the bearing plate a and the inking wheel 0 the printing wheel being adapted to print characters upon the strip or tape B in a manner readily understood. In the present case in order to have the printing appear in proper position when thrown upon the screen, it will be necessary to place positive type upon the printing wheel a.

For the gurpose of my invention I make the tape of transparent material upon which tape is applied printing matter 1) by means of the printing device. Upon leaving the tape rollO of the ticker instrument, the stri is first guided between the spurwheel D an the bearing roller D, which latter is preferably formed with the s ringtension arm d" and is secured at (Z to t e side of the ticker mechanism. The spur wheel D in the course of its revolution feeds the strip along and between the printing wheel a and the bearing latea from whence the strip passes to the side guide E forming a part of the magnifying instrument F, which instrument may be in the form of an ordinary stereopticon. In its passage to the guide the strip is turned to a vertical position, as shown in Fig. 1, and after passing through such guide,

is directed over and around the roller G suported by an arm 9 to the side of the magniyinginstrument F, such tape thence'passing back toward the instrument and to the spring tensioned bearing roller H which tends to hold .or thrust the strip into contact with the spur wheel D, so that such wheel will tend to ull or feed the strip over the roller H and t e strip ma then be permitted to drop into any suita le receptacle, not

shown. Byreason of the action of roller H the tape is maintained at an even tension,

during its travel from the feeding wheel D past the printing wheel and through the magnifying device, and its return to the under side of wheel D.

nection with the accompanying drawings the (periphery thereof and erate'd upon by the printing mechanism, and

operation of the device will be readily apparent.

When the ticker is in operation the transparent ta e is fed past the spur wheel to the printing evices and after the quotations, or other matter, have been printed thereon the tape travels through the guide slide. in a vertical position and the characters on such strip or tape are, through the medium of the magnifying device, projected or thrown onto the screen or Wall in such manner as to be easily read by those present.

1 It will be noted that the device for feeding the strip works in synchronis'm with the ticker itself, being dependent upon the same actuating mechanism.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: f

1. The combination of a ticker instrument, including printing mechanism, a tape reel, a magnifying device, means for feeding the tape from'the reel to a position to be opfor. feeding the tapethrough said magnifying device, said means to maintain the tape at an paratus, a guide formed on-such apparatus or guiding such tape, a support for said tape or feeding'the tape from the after passing through the guide, and means for drawing said tape through the guide, such means including a tension device holding the tape in contact with the spur wheel.

In testimony whereof 1 have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE EDWARD HEYL-DIA.
