Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 25, 1909.

Application filed. December 10, 1894. Serial No. 581,337.

I To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEO EHRLICH, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of ing is a description, reference being had to the accompanying draw1ngs, formmg part of this specification.

. Like the machine shown and described in my prior patent No. 523,930, of July 31, 1894, mypresent machine is intended for use upon street railways and .other transportation lines where two or more classes of fares are received, such as cash fares and transfers, cash fares and tickets, half fares and full fares, andso on, and to that end is provided with means for preserving separate registrations of the several classes of fares. In some respects my present machine is similar to that of my priorpatent, while in others it is a modification of-and a departure from such rior machine. Like that machine it emodies a trip register, upon which the total number of fares of all classes is registered, and which is adapted to be reset to zero or initial'po'sition at the end of each trip, and two or-more independent permanent regis ters, (that is to say, registers which are not reset to-zero at the end of each trip,) upon which ermanent registers separate registrations of the several classes of fares are made and preserved; with suitable operating means for actuating. the'trip register and either one of the permanent re 'isters at will,,

to register the corresponding ass of fare.

In my prior machine the trip register consisted of the usual circular dial, with a pointer moving over the same, and means for actuating the pointer. The pointer was advanced one'number at each operation of the machine, no matter which class of fare was to be registered, so that all of the fares of all classes receivedduring a trip were added into one common total upon the trip register. The

latter therefore indicated simply the total humber of fares, and not the number of fares of. each class. l/Vhile, therefore, in that machine the permanent regis'ters indicated at all times the total number of fares of each class received during a given period, as for instance a day or a week, depending upon the intervals at which the readings were taken from them, it was not possible at any time by looking at the trip register to ascertain how many of the fares registered upon it during the trip were of one class and how many of another. ent invention is an improvement in this respect upon my prior machine and consists in the provision of a novel and hereinafter described multiple trip register, or a trip register which will indicate at all times the number of fares of each class received during the trip. Myinvention in this respect contemplates various forms of multiple tripregisters, two of which have been illustrated One feature of my presin the drawings and will be hereinafter dscribed. In the first and preferred form the multiple register consists of a plurality of pointers, representing different classes of.

fares, cooperating with a single dial such as that shown in my prior patent. In the other form illustrated the multiple register consists of a plurality of wheel registers geared to the main actuating wheels of the register.

Inasmuch as upon most transportation lines where fare registers are employed but two classes of fares are received my improved trip register is shown as consisting of a double register, employing in the one instance two pointers moving over the dial to indicate thereon the two different classes of fares, and in the other two wheel registers for the same purpose; while-two permanent registers are employed in each instance for preserving permanent registrations of such fares. v

Again, in my prior machine the permanent registers were geared to and actuated by the trip register, or by the operating device through the medium of the trip register, so that when it was desired to reset the trip register, at the end: of a trip, it had to be first disconnected from the permanent registers. This construction and this necessity are common to many fare registers of this class, as well as my own prior machine. In my resent machine the trip register is whol y disconnected from the permanent registers, and while all three of the registers are actuated by thesame operating device they are actuated directly by it and not one through the medium of the other.

Again, in my prior machine the trip registor and the two permanent registers were position, and to cause it to actuate at will eithr one of the permanent registers and the corresponding pointer of the trip register a shifter is provided by which the operating lever may be connected with and discon nected from either register at Wlll, depending upon the class of fare to be registered. The

two cords or ropes by which the machine is operated, and which .usually extend along the upper part of the car within reach of the conductor as he is collecting fares, are so connected to themach'ine that upon pulling one cord one permanent register and its corresponding pointer of the trip register will be' actuated, and upon pulling the other cord the other permanent register and -other pointer will be actuated. The adjustment of the parts is preferably such that the operating lever is normally connected with one register and pointer, so that by simply .operating said. lever such register and. pointer will be actuated to register one class of fares, usually the commonest one or the one of which the greatest number are received. When a fare of the other class is to be registered the shifter is operated to throw the operating lever into connection with such other register and .pointer, so that upon then moving the lever the latter register and pointer will be actuated to register the second class fare. To this end one of the operating cords is connected to the lever alone, so that upon pulling said cord the lever will=be operated to actuate the r] is'ter with which it is normally connected, w ile the other cord is connected to both the lever and shifter, or at least has such a connection with the shifter,

directly or indirectly, that upon pulling said cord the operating lever .will be thrown into connection with the second register and its movement caused to actuate it. This second operating cor'dmay be inde endently connected to the lever and'to t e shifter, but under the arrangement which I prefer and which has been illustrated in the drawings the cord is connected to the lever through the medium of the shifter, or a art moving with the shifter, so that upon'pul ing the cord the shifter will first be actuated to connect the lever with the second register and the lever itself be then moved to actuatesuch ble trip register may be employed in a ma-.

,ser

chine, or in a register in which a single operating lever movable in one direction to actuate one permanent register and in the other direction to actuate. the other permanent register is employed. So, too, the feature of -and actuated independently of the trip register may be utilized in my priormachine and others, as well as in my resent one; as. may also the single operating ever, movable in one direction only, and the shifter for connecting it at will with either one of the permanent registers.

I My present machine like my prior one is *the' permanent registers disconnected from fare indicator does, so that by glancing at the fare indicator the character of the last fare registered mayalsp be ascertained- So, too, suchfare indicator may be utilized in connection with the two permanent registers, disconnected from and actuated independently of the trip register, as in my present machine, and a single trip register such as that of my prior machine, to the same advantage as in such prior machine.

My present machine contains other novel and useful features, consisting of new constructions, arrangements and modes of operation ofparts, all of which will be hereinafter explained and particularly pointed out in the claims. I

Having thus premised the general nature of my invention a detailed description will now be given of it in the form in whichit is embodied in the machine illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a face view of the register; Fig.

2 a corresponding view with the 'dial removed to expose the working parts of the register; Figs-2 and 2 details of the two wheels of the trip register, showing the trip carried by them; Fig. 3 a cross-section longitudinally of the resetting shaft, with the pointers at zero instead of 1n the position they occu y in Figs. 1' and 2; Fig. 4 an enlarged detai plan view of the operative lever and shifter, and the actuating pawl of the trip register. and associated parts; Fig. 5 a detail view on the line 55 of Fig. 4, showing in elevation the parts. at the right hand side of said figure Fig. 6 a similar view looking at said parts from the left, being a view approximately upon the line 6 6 of Fig. 4,'omitting the op-. erating lever and parts carried by it; Fig.7

The same letters of reference are used to indicate identical parts in all the figures.

The working parts of the register arcinclosed Within the usual circular casing A and hidden by the numbered dial B of the tri register, Fig. 1, said dial being rovided Wit suitable reading openings for the permanent registers, the trip indicator, and in this instance for the fare indicator.

Mounted upon a central post C fixed to the bottom plate D of the casing, Fig. 3, is a wheel E having an V extended hub F resting at its lower end upon and are remov'ably he a screw K tapped at its lower end into the upthe annular should er at the bottom of the re duced upper end of the post 0 over which. it fits, and projecting at its upper end through the dial B. Loosely mounted upon the upper end of the hub of the wheel E is a second Wheel G having its hub H extending through the-dial B around the hub F but not quite to the upper end of the latter.

Fast upon the upper end of the hub H is one pointer I of the trip register, while the other pointer J of the same isfast upon the upper end of the hub F. The pointers fit over pins upon the'uj) )er ends of the hubs in place by means of per end of the post C having a flanged head fitting against the upper pointer. The two pointers may be distinguished from each other in any suitable manner, to indicate the respective classes of fares they are to register upon the dial. One may be shorter than the other for that purpose, as the hour and minute hands of a clock, and if desired two separate sets of numbers may be placed upon the dial, one to cooperate with one pointer to register one class of fares, and the other to cooperate with the other pointer to regis ter the second class of fares; but I refer to have the ointers of a proximate y equal length and to make t rem of contrasting colors, and also to place upon them words indicating the respective classes of fares. In the present instance the upper pointer J registers the cash fares and the lower pointer I the tickets or transfers, as indicated by the Word Cash upon the former and the word Ticket upon the latter in the drawings,

and in the machine from which the drawings were preoared the upper pointer is painted black an the lower red, so that any one can tell at a glance the number of-fares of each class registered upon the dial. Each of the wheelsE and G has formed upon its periphery a depending flange pro vided with gear teeth upon its lower edge, the fla'ngeof the wheel E fitting snugly within the flange of the wheel G, with their toothed lower edges in approximately, though in this instance not exactly, the same horizontal plane. The wheels E G and their pointers are independently actuated by a single pawl L, Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, which is shifted at will into engagement with. the toothed flange of one 'wheel or the other. The adjustment of the parts is preferably 'such that the pawl is normally engaged with, or stands in position to actuate, one of the wheels, so that it is necessary to shift it only when the other wheel is to be actuated. In the present instance it is shown normally engaged with the teeth of the inner wheel E whose huh carries the upper pointer J of the trip register. This is the pointer which indicates cash fares, and as it is assumed in the resent instance that there will be more cash fhres received than transfers or tickets the pawl is shown insuch position in order that at the majority of operations of the machine it will not be necessary to shiftit. The pawl is pivoted between ears M projecting verti cally from a plate l Figs. 2 to 6, mounted to slide transversely in guide-ways upon the upper front end of areciprocating frameO secured upon the base plate D by screws P passing through slots in its horizontal feet whiclnrcst 'upon the plate. Mounted upon the upper side of the frame 0 and connected therewith by screwspassing through slots in the frame is a sliding plate Q, Figs. 2, 4, and

5, this connection of it with the frame 0 permitting it to reciprocate to a limited extent independently of the frameO, for a purpose hereafter described, and when moved be .yond such limit to carry the frame 0 with it.

Extending diametrically across the ma chine adjacent to the base plate D is a rock shaft R jo'urnaled at its opposite ends in bearings upon said base plate and passing at its middle through a hole in the central post C. Fast upon this roclr shaft immediately at the left of the frame 0 is an upwardly ex tending arm or block S Figs. 2, 4, 5 and 6. A link T connects the arm S with the under Side of thepperating lever U, said link having at its front end an eye fitting over a hook upon the arm S and at its rear end a second eye through which passes a screw entering the under side of the lever U. This lever is fulcrumed at V upon the upper end of a post,

secured upon the base plate I), so that the the front end of alever C whose rear end is frame 0 and When the outer end of 'the lever is pulled I downward the shaft. It-and block S will be rocked rearward. Projecting from the right but during the latter art ofits movement the slide will carry the frame 0 with it, as before explained, and cause the pawl to turn the wheel E. In this manner and by this means at each operation of the lever U the wheel E ill be actuatedby the pawlQL and the pointer J advanced one number upon the dial B to register one cash fare. The means for shifting the pawl and actuating the Wheel G to advance the pointer I, .to register transfer or ticket fares, maybe now described.

The rock sh aft R is capable of limited longitudinal movement in its bearings and is yieldingly held in its right hand normal position by a spring Z coiled around it and confined between its left hand bearing and a collar A fast upon said shaft, Fig. 4. The arm S which is fast upon the rock-shaft It as before described has secured to it a forwardly projectin segmental late Z which fits in a vertical s ot in the left handend of the slid plate N which carries the pawl L, as hereto ore described. When the machine is operated to actuate the wheel E and cash fare pointer the plate Z plays idly up and down in the slot in the plate N, the receding curve of its lower forward edge permitting the rearward movement of said plate as the plateZ rises; but when the shaft is moved to the left, by the means hereafter explained, the en .wil cause the shaft to carry. the platean'd actuating awl with it, and bring them to the position s own in Fig. 4, with the pawle'ngaged with, or in. position to actuate the outer wheel G and pointer I. The connection ofthe block S and the link X by -means of the pin W free to slide in the hole' in the link X permits this movement of the shaft R and connected parts withoutaii'ecting the sliding plate Q.

Pivotedat B tothe base plate D, Fig. 2, is

,bent upward over the shaft R and collar-. A

and carries a pinfitting in acircumferential.

groove in said collar. ,The vertically extended rear end of this lever carries an anti friction sleeve D' which rests against a long curved lever E pivoted at its front end to the under side of the operating lever Uat F,

Figs. ,2and4, and'at its opposite end extendement of the plate Z with the plate-N the circular wall of tliecasing and provided H in the outer end'of the lever U; and, having secured to it .-a U-shaped' clip --or attaching piece H for an operating cord I, the.opposite arms of the piece H embracing the lever and being secured to the opposite end of the in G. whi e the cord 1 is pulled the travel 'of'the pin the left and it will carry the rear end of the lever C with it and shift the parts to the poparts in this position, the outer end of the lever -U be .pulled downward to. its limit of movement the shaft R will be rocked and the pawtL caused to actuate the wheel Grand advance the pointer I to register one ,ticket sition by a strong spring .J, Figs. 2 an This-spring is strong enough tension of the sprin Z and friction of the parts when the lever is moved, so that the lever U will remain stationary until the pin "G of the lever E travels the length of the cam slot H and contacts with its lower end, after which the further pull upon the cord I will move the lever U with the lever E and cause the pawl L to actuate the wheel G. In this manner and by this means the parts may be shifted and the pawl actuated by simply pulling the cord I the lever Ebeing thereby first given its movement inde endpawl, and the two levers then moving to gether to actuate it. j a

For thepurpose" of preventing movement of the operating lever U except when the pawl L is in proper position to actuate one or the'other of the two wheels there is provided a stop lever K which is pivoted to the under side of the lever U at L and cooperates at its opposite end with a stop M roject g lupward fi om thebase plate; T e lever of .the shifter is provided with a pin N which passes through a slot in the lever K. The adjustment of the parts is such thatwhenthe lever E a in the position shown in Fig. 2 the lower end of the iever K willrest' immediately to the right ofthe line ofthe. stop M so that it willclear thesto when the outerend of the level. U is pulled the leverE' is givenfits fullmovement to the left, as in Fig. 4, the lower end of the lever K the stoplM so that it will clear the same and I left band edge of the lever K is curved in the ing with the lever through the opening in I G in the cam slot Hwvill pull the lever E to or transfer upon the dial. The lever'U is. yieldingly held in and returned to normal dpo-- with a pin G extending through a' cam slot If the lever U be held stationary 1 sition. shown in Fig. 4/ If now, with the to overcome the 'ently of the lever U, to properly s the ownward, and when will rest-immediatelyto the left of the line of d upon the lefthand side of the are of a circle concentric to the pivot V of the lever U when the lever K is. 1n normal positlon, Fig. 2, and the right hand edge of the lever is curved in the are of a circle' concelnthat during the movement of the lever U the pawl will be maintained in engagement with one or the otherof the toothedwheels, depending upon the position of the lever E before the lever U began its movement. In this manner and by this means operation of the pawl except when in proper position to actuate one or the other of the wheels is prevented, and when its actuating movement is once begun it is-held in position.

} The sliding plate Q, which is mounted upon the frame 0, as heretofore described, carries a hook pawl O which actuates the striker arm P of a gong Q, Fig. 2. Thepawl O is yieldingly held in normal position against the lug Y, Fig. 4:, by a coiled spring interposed between its front end of a second i u post t lug similar to the lug Y upon the plate Q in front of the pivot of the pawl. The striker arm P is pivoted upon the upper end of 9.

Q is slid rearward by pulling downward the Y upper end of the operating lever U the hook of the pawl will catchover the lug V, and when the parts return to normal position the pawl will pull the lug forward with it from the gong against the tension of the spring T, until the hook of the pawl slips off t 1e lug V, whereupon the spring will throw the striker arm and connected parts quickly back to normal posit-ion and cause the striker The purpose of prov1d-.

to sound the gong.

ing for the movement of the slide Q independent of the frame 0, as has been heretofore referred to, is to permit the necessary movement of the actuating pawl O of the gong-striker without unnecessary movement of the frame 0 which carries the actuating pawl L of the trip register, the required movement of the latter pawl being less than that of the pawl O.

Having now described one form of my novel trip register and the means for actuating the samc, willnext describethe two permanent registers which are independently actuated by the operating lever to separately and yieldingly held in normal posi- I tron, against a'stop S, by a spring T coiled Y lug M with a similar lug N and turn the hub U and retract the striker register the fares of the two different classes indicated by the pointers of the trip register. Each register consists of a train of registering wheels and a cooperating train of transfer gears by which the revolution of each wheel in the train is caused to advance the next higher wheel one number, in the usual or any suitable manner. In the present instance the wheels W of the cash fare register are mounted upon a shaft X supported at its opposite ends in the side plates of a frame Y fixed to the base plate 1), Figs. 2, 7 and 8. The right hand or primary registering wheel in the train is secured upon the left hand end of a sleeve A loose upon the shaft X and having fast upon its right hand end, just within the right hand side plate of the frame Y, a ratchet B with which cooperates the actuating pawl of the register. This pawl is carried by a reciprocating slide D mounted in guide-ways in the frame Y and yieldingly held in its normal forward position by a spring interposed between its laterally projecting front end and the front side of the frame Y, Fig. 2.

- The registering .wheels of the ticket or transfer register F are mounted upon a shaft G Figs. 7 and 8, fixed in the frame Y, and the primary wheel of the train has fast upon the right hand end of its projecting hub a ratchet with which cooperates an actuating pawl I carried by a second slideJ Figs. 2 and 7, also mounted in guide-ways in the frame Y and held in normal position by a spring interposed between its front end and the front side of said frame. Holding pawls K L" spring-pressed against the ratchets B l I prevent backward movement of the registering wheels.

The shde 1) 18 provided upon its nmer side immediatel over the rock shaft R with a lug M while the slide J is provided rearward and its pawl C caused to turn the j ratchet B and advance the primary wheel of the cash fare register W one number. At such movement of the parts the left hand end of the head of the arm 0 will clear the lug l to N of the slide J and the latter will remain at rest and the ticket or transfer re ister F will not be actuated; but when tire rock shaft R is slid to its left hand position by means of the shifter heretofore described, the left hand end of the head of the arm Q will be brought into line with thelug-N of the slide 1?, so that when the shattR and arm .are then rocked rearward the arm will contact with the lug M. and carry the slide J 5 with it and cause the pawl l to turn the ratchet H and advance the primary wheel of the ticket fare register F one number. In this manner and by this means whenever the lever U is operated by pulling the cordl-l the cash fare register VVwill be actuated to permanently register one cash fare; and when the shifter and lover are both operated, by pulling the cord 1, the ticketfare register F will be actuated to register one ticket fare or transfer. r

l-Vhilc'l prelcrto actuate the two pointers of the trip register and the two permanent registers by means of" a single operating lever and shifter, yet, as lieietoforc stated, the two operating cords of the register .rnight be independently connected with the respective pointers of the trip rcgisterand corresponding permanent registers, so that upon pulling one cord or the other the same ultimate result would be produced as under the construction which I have shown and described; or, if desired, instead of a single operating lever and a shifter, movable in onc'dire(.'.tion only from normal position, a single operating lever movable in one direction to register one class offal-es and in the opposite direction to register the other class of fares, with suitable connections, might be employed to actuate the two pointersof the trip register and the 35 two permanent registers of my present machine,-as will be understo'od from my prior patent; both of these arrangements being within the contemplation of my broader claims in the present case. L

the slides D J which carry the actuating awls; of the permanent registers. This are-indicator, as in my prior machine, con

sists of an oscillatory cylinderl? secured upon a shaft Q mounted in su ports R upon-the base plate, Figs. 2., an Fast upon the right hand end; of the shaft Q is a disk S having projecting from it two pins T U, the "former stahding in' the path of an arm V? projecting upward from the rear end of the s ide D and the lattcr inuthe path of a shorter. arm Vi the rearend of the s ideJ Fig rejecting upward from 1; Eli When the slldc J is moved =rearward, to actuate th'etic-ketfare register in themanner before explained, the arm. Vt? upon ts regar v end will contactqwith the pin -,U arid,

end of the slide will contact w t rum pi'ii T and turn the cylinder P rearward to expose The fare-indicator, under. the arrangc- "ment shown in the drawings','is actuated by jbe utilized to advantage even in the absence ,of the latter.'

. th diet. as shownm the drawings, wh leggwhen the,

tion applied to it in any suitable or convenient manner, in the present instance by a spring (not shown) interposed between one end of the cylinder and its support R so that the" cylinder will always remain, atthc end' of an operation of the machine, in the position to which it had been moved, and thus continue to indicate the character of the fare which has been registered at such operation until the 1nachine.is again oper ated to register another fare. If the next fare should be of the same chaiactcr, the fare indicator will remainstationary, but it it should be of a different character, the fare indicator will be shifted to expose the sign representing such class. From the above description it will be understood that by the employment of such fare indicator in connection with my novel trip register the register will at all times indicate not only the number of the fares of each class received during the trip, but will also indicate the character of the last fare-registered, so thatif any one watching the register for the purpose of ascertaining whether the conductor is properly registering the fares received should fail to .note which one of the two pointers was moved at -a given operation the fare indicator will furnish the information, since if the cash pointer was the last one moved the fare indicator will expose the word Cash, while if the ticket pointer was the last one moved the indicator will expose the word Ticket. It will be understood that this combination of the fareindicator with a multiple trip register is a useful one mdepeinlcntly of the employment of the permanent registers, and may shaft thereof, so that beforethc trip register could 'be reset it had to be'disconnccted fr m the permanent registers or from the actuatiiigsliaft,'a1ul this wasaccomplished by sl ding the toothed whccl'vertically upon itspivot. From theforegoing description of ny prcsent 'machine it will be seen that,. while the trip register and the two permanent registers are actuated by the same operating lever, they are independently actuated' and are wholly disconnected from each other, so that the trip register is free at all tim to be reset to initial position. Instead singleinwardly andoutwardly sliding iese mg shaft, as 11 my prior machine, and as is usual, there are employed in my present The shaft is mounted to slide and rotate at its rear end in a bearing in a bracket plate Z secured toand pro ecting upv'ard from the base plate I), while it and the sleeve surrounding it' are supported near their front ends in a bearing E cast upon the base plate l) adjacent the opening in the casing through V which the sleeve and shaft pass. The sleeve Y has screwed upon its front end a milled thumb-piece A by which it may be turned,

while secured upon the front end of the shaft s X is a second thumb-piece B for turning the shaft. Fast upon the shaft near its rear end is a gear wheel C, while fast upon the rear end of the sleeve, immediately in front of the gear (9 is a second gear wheel D The sleeve Y is'thus held from longitudinal movement upon the shaft X by the gear C fitting against its rear end and the thumbpiece B fitting against the thumb-piece A- upon its front end, while remaining free to turn upon the shaft. The two gears C D are adapted to cooperate respectively with the gear-toothed flanges of the wheels E and G of the. trip register. When the shaft and the sleeve Y are slid inward the gear C will be brought into mesh with the gear of the gear wheel E and the gear D into mesh with the gear of the wl-icel G, so that by turning either thumb-piece A B the corresponding wheel G'or E may be turned to carry its pointer backward to zero.

Mounted to move longitudinally with the shaft X and sleeve Y is a frame E Fi r 3-, 9 and 10, composed of a front and rear plate, through the former of which the shaft and sleeve )ass, and through the latter of which the siaft alone passes, and between which the gears C D are confined, l ig. 9, and a portion uniting said plates at their left hand ends and having a horizontal extension F projecting to the left. A strong coiled spring, i connected-at its rear end to the frame E and at its front end to a fixed point pulls said frame and the shaft X and the sleeve Y forward, and yieldingly holds them in their outer normal positions with the gears D disengaged from wheels E and G. Upon the upper side of the front plate of the frame E is a lug H which cooperates with two latch plates 1 J", Figs. 2, 3, 9 and 10. These two plates are pivoted at their front ends at the same ioint, K

late .I lies directly over the plate J and hides the lat In the rectangular por-,

and in front of the plate E the p ter in Figs. 2 and 9. tion of each plate near its rear end is a slot 113 in the front end of which the lug H of the.

frame E fits when said frame and the resett1)!" shaft and sleeve are in their outer normal position, as seen in Fig. 2.

The two latch plates are pulled toward the left by two springs M, Fig. S). and the right hand side wall of the slot L in each of them has an offset in it near its rear end, forming a shoulder at N adapted to cooperate with the lug ll upon the frame E. The result of this arrangcnient is that when the shaft and sleeve and frame. E are pressed inward until the lug II has moved to the rear'of the shoulders N 01 the latch plates, the springs M will pull said plates to their left and carry the shoulders in front ofthe lug, so that the shaft and sleeveand frame will be latched in their lllward position and held against the stress of the spring C? until the latch plates are tripped and. the shoulders disengaged from the lug ll.

The rear end of the plate I. has. a right hand upwardly projecting extension termi-' nating in ahorizontal projection 0 adapted to cooperate with a plate P pivoted in a horizontal slot in the wheel G, Fig. 2 and having its right hand end pressed outward by a spring into position to contact with the abrupt left sideof the projection O of the latch plate I when the wheel G has been turned backward until its'pointer I is brought to initial position. When the wheel and pointer reach said position the projecting end of the plate I will strike the projection O of the latch plate I and move the rear end of the latter to the right to normal posi tion and disengage its shoulder N from the" mal position and disengage its shoulder N from the lug H of the frame E When the shoulders of both latch plates have been disengaged from the lug H of the frame E in the manner above explained, the frame and the rescttingshaft and sleeve will thereby be entirely released, and-the spring G will at encoreset them totheir outer-normal posi-' tion'. Until bo'th pointers of the trip regis ter have been reset to zero the lug H will remain engaged with the shoulder N of one or the otherof' the latch plates, so thatnot until both pointers have been reset will the parts .beirele'ased and the spring G? be permitted to restore, them to normal position. So long as thejpointers remain at zero the engagement of the tri s P R with the latch plates will hold the atter in i'ioral'plosition, so that if the resetting shaft and sleeve be pressed. inward at such time the lug H upon the frame E" Will not be caught bytlifeghoulders N of such pointer has been reset to zero.

the l'atchplates, and the spring G will re:

turn the parts to normal position assoon as the pressure" upon them is removed. When either pointer is moved from normal ,posi

tion, however, the trip u on the wheel which carries such pointer w1l be moved "away from its 006 crating projection upon the cor: responding atch plate and the latter will be left free to be engagedwith the lug H whenever the'resettingshaft and sleeve are pressed inward, so that even though-only one pointer has been operatedthe resetting devices will be caught and held in resetting position by the corresponding latch plate when they are pressed inward, and will not be released until when both pointers have been operated the resetting of one of them alone to zero will not release the resetting devices, which will still 'be maintained in resetting position until the other pointer also is turned backward to zero.

The purpose of providing the springprcssed or ielding trips P R,- instead of simply emp oying rigid projections upon the wheels to trip the latch plates, is to permit the tri s to yield and clear the projections upon tie latch plates as thepointers and wheels are moved in a forward direction, in

case the number of either class of fares rer ceived during a trip should eirceed the total number which the trip register is capable of registering, and the corresponding pointer be consequently given more than one com lete revolution. Such a contingency is, 10wever, quite. remote, since itis in rare in-v stances that more than one hundred fares of a given class are collected from one car during a single trip, and, in any event, all of the fares would be registered-upon the permanent registers.

The'front plate of the frameE has projecting from its right hand end-a rod S,

- which, when the parts are slid inward to fo "the paw ls and the latter are reengaged by ,thelr springs (not shown) withthe wheels E and G. The actuating pawl L will also be I disengaged from the wheel E when the resetting devices are moved to resetting posi-' tion by means of the rear edge of theframe E, which willride under. the front end .ofsaid pawl and depress its rear end against the resistance of its spring, which latter will reengage the pawl with the wheel Ewhen the resetting devices return to normal position.

The left hand extension of the frame E is S6, too,

provided with a cam slot V through which passes ascrew carried by a locking-lever X pivoted at Y to a post"upon the base plate of the-machine and adapted to co.-

operate at itsleft handend with the lower or forward end of the operating lever U, Fig. 2. in the normal position of the parts the end of the lever X is out of thepath of the lever Ll, but when the resetting devices are SllCl inward to resetting position the cam slot V acting upon the screw will rock the lever X to the position 'shown,in Fig. 9, bringing its left end directly in the path of the lever -U, so that so long as the resetting devices are in such position the lGVOF'Wlll be locked from operation. Likewise, when the resetting devices are in normal position any' operating'inovement of the lever U will carry. its lower end into the path of .the lever X 'so that only when the operatinglever U is in normal posltion can the resetting device's be operated. l

For the purpose of preventing backward movement of thercsctting shaft and sleeve there is provided a pawl Z, Figs. 2, 9, and

-10, pivoted at its lower end between the front and rear plates .of the frame E and spring pressed at its upper end intoengagement with the gears C D. For the further purpose-of positively locking the resetting shaft and sleeve when in their outer normal position, and preventing movement of them in either direction until slid inward to resetting position, there is pivoted near its middle upon the upper side of'the extension F of the frame a locking plate or lever A", whose right hand end normally fits against a shoulder-uponthe u iper left hand side of the pawl Z, Fig-2, an positively locks the lat-.

ter in engagement with the gears C D.

The left hand end of this plate A is provided with a slot through which passes the screw W before referred to. When the. resetting devices are pressed inward the movement of said screw and the plate A relatively to each other will throw the righthand end of said plate rearward to the position shown in Fig. 9, thereby disengaging it from the pawl Z and permitting the latter to yield and slip over the teeth of the gears as the latter are turned forward to reset the trip register. It will be understood that the shape of thepawl is such that'its engagement with the gears Wlll at all tnnes prevent backward movement of them, but Wlll prevent forward movement of them only when locked in engagement with them by the plate A.

My present machine is shown provided prior machine and operated in a similar manner by the resettings of the trip register, to-wit, by a pawl arm C carried by the frame E and cooperating with a ratchet upon the left hand end of the indicator to shift the latter at'each resetting of the trip register in ion , with a trip indicator 13* similar to that of my which will be understoo explanation here.

the manner described in In prior patent and (f without further So far as I am aware I am the first in the art to employ a multiple trip register of any sort whatever for indicating in a fare register the number offares of different classes received during a trip, and, as before'stated,

' scribed.

. multiple trip register, either alone this feature of my invention contemplates, in its broader scope, various different forms of multiple trip registers for the urpose de Where I have claimed broadly a min combinatlon with other elements of the complete fare register, such claim contemplates the use of any form of multiple trip register by which the numbers of fares of different classes received during the trip may be indicated.

Having heretofore described in detail the preferred form of multiple trip-register which employ, to-wit, a lurality of pointers cooperating With a dia I will now add a brief description of the second form of such register whichhas been illustrated in the drawings forposure 'of the fare indicator, an opening at for the exposure of the permanent cash-fare register, another at 4 for the oermanent ticket-fare register, and one at 5 or the trip indicator; near its left hand side the plate is provided with two openings, or pairs ofopenings, 6, 7, for the exposure of the numbers upon the wheels of the trip reg ster, which in this instance take' the place of the plurality of pointers employed in the other orm of registerv With the exception of the trip register the construction and mode of operation of the fare register as a whole are, or may be, the same as heretofore described, and hence will not be further referred to. Journalcd in hearings in the upper ends of supports 8 9 upon the base plate D of the machine Fi 14 is a transverse shaft 10 Gii whose right-hand half or portion is of reduced diameter as compared with its left-hand portion and has mounted upon it a sleevell which is free to turn u on it. The shaft has fast upon its right han end a pinion 12 which meshes with the gear teeth upon the depending flange of the wheel F, while the sleeve 11 has'fast upon its right hand end a pinion 13 f meshing with the toothed flange of the wheel G. Confined u on the sleeve 11 between the supportat the right and a collar 14 fast upon the sleeve at the left are two numbered wheels 15 16, the former fast upon the sleeve and the latter loose upon it. Each wheel bears a series of numbers representing the nine digits, and a cipher, and the pinion 13 is so p ro ortioned relatively to the wheel G that at eac 1 advance of said wheel the space of one tooth the sleeve 11 and wheel 15 will be turned one tenth of a revolution, to add one ticket-fare upon the'wheel 15; while at each complete revolution of the latter wheel the wheel 16, by means of a pinion 17 cooperating in the usual manner with the two wheels, Fig. 12, will be advanced one number to register the complete revolution of the wheel 15. middle is a wheel 18, similar to the wheels 15 16, while loose upon the shaft and confined between the wheel 18 and left hand support of the shaft is a second similar wheel 19. At each movement of the wheel F the space of one tooth the wheel 18 will be advanced one number, to register one cash fare, at each complete revolution it will, by means of transfer devices similar to those between the wheels 15 16, advance the wheel 19 one number.

Under the construction above described it will be seen that the wheels of the ticket-fare trip register are permanently geared to the wheel G, while the wheels of the cash-farc trip register are geared to the wheels F, so that when the wheels F are reset to initial position the wheelsof the two trip registers will be thereby turned backward to zero.

It will be evident from the illustration and description .of two such widely differing forms of multiple trip registers, that still there are forms of such registers which may be employed in place of the ones which I have shown and described. Thus, an obvious substitute for the two pointers and dial would be two rotary dials carried-by the respective wheels which in the present instance carry the pointers, the numbers upon said dials cooperating with fixed )ointers or with sight-openings in the face plate of the register.
