ister having controlling keys and a crank handle for causin the actuating ci? the niaon this are mounted a` plurality of registering devices so that the rotation of the carv rier will brin any desir'd`-registering device into position to be operateuljya series chine. A rotatab e carrier is 4provided and 60 of racks the movement of which is controlled The type of machine to which this inven- 75 tion is a plied is ,Well'shown in patent to Cleal & einhardt, 580,378, granted April 13, 1897, and reference is made thereto for a detailed description of many parts of the ever` and referring to Fig. 2 it Inay'be saidtliat he machine comprises a plurality of banksl of 'keys 11 mounted on, a circular frame and adapted4 to be manually depressed 'ff against theftensionof springs 12. The shaft as connections from 70 i eral respects on the mach-ine shown in/Il. 55 i |83. patent to ThomasGarroll, 703,639 grantedl July 1*, 1902. Thispat'ent vshows a cash reg- 'machine Described in genera-l terms how- '80' i A ated by other segments 16 of which there is 90 one for each segment 15. The segments 16 have notches 1'7 near their` upper end sgnd are-providedwith dependlng extensions 18 adapted to engage projections 19 lofthe segments 15 to restore said segments to normal 95 position. The main shaft 13 is operated by a crank arm 2O connected by apirr 21 to a A link 22 Which is connected to a` crank arm 23 mounted rigidly on the main shaft 24 which is adapt-ed to be given a completo rotation at each operation of` the machine.
Mounted on each-.of the segments 15 are latches 25 which are connected to the-segments 4by links 26 and 27 ivotedrespectively on pins 28 and 29 on t e segments 15, 105 said latches 25 being therebyyallowed'a radial movement. Aty the' .rear ends of the, latches 2 5 are projections-3Q adapted: toenthe segments 16. A pin 31 is mounted on Areversely moved to each of the latches 25, these pins 31 riding in slots of bell crank' arms 32 mounted on girls 33 also 'carried bythe segments 15. prings 34 pressing against lugs 35 on segments 15 and against flanges on the bell cranks 32 tend to rock the said bell cranks so as to force the latches 25 rearwardly. At the lower forward end of each of the'bell cranks 32 is mounted a by-pass pawl 36 pressed by springs 37 forwardly. v
The key board frame is provided with a series of depressions 38 in any one of which the forward beveled ends of the latches 25 are adapted to be moved. The keys carry camming flanges 3 9 engaging cam slots 40 in a segmentaldetent 41 and it will be clear from the cfonstructionshown that when a key is depressed the cam flange 39 thereof will raise the detent 41. Each detent 41 is rovided with a roller 42 adapted to 'rock orwardly the -latch 43. This latch'43 is mounted at 44 on the key board fra-me and has a rearward projection 45 normally over the latch 25 lit being of course understood thatthere is a latch 43 for each bank of keys. A retaining bar 46 straddles the shaft 13 and is thrown rearwardly by a spring 47 connecting each bar to a rod 48. The retaining bars 46 are normally prevented from moving rearwardly by the key detents- 41 which engage a cut away portion thereof as 1 shown in this figure. vW'henhowever a key is depressed the detent 41 is raised Ysuiciently to' carry the lower end` thereof above the edge 48a of the bar 46. The bar 46can then' move rearwardly under tension of its spring 47 `and lock the detent 41 in raised position. As the retaining bar 46 moves rearwardly the projection 49 extending upwardly therefrom is moved away from the pin 31 of the sliding latch 25. When the main shaft 24 is operated the segments 16 are'oscillated in .a `counter clock-wise direction and depending projections 18 thereof engage and move the segments 15 through the projections 19 thereon, if the said 'segments have been moved from normal position. When the notch 17 of a segment 16 reaches the projection 3'0 the latch 25 may move slightly rearward under the impulse of the spring 34 and when se ent 16 is then return 1t to the position shown in the ure, it will carry the latch 25 along with it t ereby of course moving the segment 15. This, motion continues until by-'pass awl 36 engages the shank of the de resse key 11, but such engagement rocks the bell crank 32 around its pivot 33 thereby throwing latch 25 forwardly until its beveled forward end engages thedepression 38gof the key board frame locking the se ment 15 and all parts carried thereby in adjusted position. This locking is o' course additional registers,
mounted on a shaft 72.' As 'shown there arev assisted by theledge of segments The segments 15@ carry racks 51 which engage gears 52 on sleeves 53 surrounding va shaft 54. The outer' ends of the sleeves 53`are attached* to nested okes` 5v5 carrying gear segments 56. It wil be clear that the gear segments 56 movei in correspondencefwith the segments. 15 and are restored to normal position and then set to a new position at each operation of the machine.
The gears-52 mesh with gears 53` on a shaft 54a. The gears 53a are loose on said shaft 541and beside `each gear is a lsimilar gear ',not'shownl acting as a drivingydevice The counter .wheels for the counter wheel.
are actuated in one direction in correspondions 58 carried in a frame, comprisino'the rod 59 and frame arms60, said frame pivoted on a lrod 61. A depending arm62 of said frame carries a pin 63 and `this is adapted` to ybe moved forwardly and. then having a cam groove 66 and riding inA this cam groove 1s an anti-friction-roller'67 carried by the link 64. The shape of the cam groove is clearly such as to' move the link forward after about one fourth of a rotation has been given the disk and to retain `it in its forward (position for a furtherpart of the rotation an to then restore it again to normal rearward position. The forward movelment of link 64 takes place after the segments 15 and gears 53*t have been 'returnedto normal position and the pinions 58 ar then thrown into mesh with gears 53a and the counter gears and retained in mesh while the segments 15 and gears 53, are set to their 'new positions, thus adding the desired 'amount on the'counter.
shows a rotatable carrier 71' for the- Fig. 5
said carrier being niner counters 73 each mounted on separate shafts 74. The carrier 71 may be rotated to bring any desired counter directly under the actuating racks 56. When the machine `is .operated the carrier 71 is raised by mechanism shown in the Carroll'patent referredtountil the counter 73 is Ain gear with the seg'- ments 56. The mechanism for rotating the carrier 71 is best shown in Fig.' lfand comprises a lever 75 integral with a sleeve 76 loosely mounted on the shaft 13. The lever 75 serves to operate a segment 7 6Et which gears with a segmentv 77 mounted on shaft 78 and also'movable with segmentf77 mounted on a shaft 7 8 is a large segment 79 meshing with a'gear 80 on the carrier 71. It will'be4 clear that as lever "7 5 is oscillated over a scale shown in Fig. 6 that any desired counter 73 .ence with the movement Iof gears 53a by pin- Y aan, ael'ingly Si essere may beimoufght to operative relation with the actuating racks 56. inasmuch as the carrier `and its o'y'era'ting mechanism have at the ends of :its ftrovel. The lewvr 75 is.
iidly connected to a "large segment 81 ich 'through 'a 82 operates anindi'- catolpinion' an mounted on rthis segment 81 a pine. A projection from lever 75 indicated by 85 carries a second pin 86. These pins '84 and 86 vare adapted at the opposite ends Cof` the Vmovement of 'lever 75 to engage .the ylong `leaf spring 87 mounted -on the machine frame hy lpins 88. As shown in 'Fig. 1 Ithje /lever 7 5 is at the upper extremity of its .movement and Ait will-be observed that pin Seis-contacting with s Vring 87. When lever 7 5 is moved douniwardly 'over the scale the pin '86;will nally Jcontact the other end of Ie'af spring 'Siand Athiswill serve to gradrier 71. 'As an ad -it-iona'l rcaution p'rojections 89fa'nd490 are fprovi" ed '(see Fig. on the carrier 71 `andthese projections are finiangedfat .'t'hef'oppositeends of the travel dfat'hefcamie'r to1be-abifitted 'and stopped by spring controlled plungers. These plungers are indicated by numerals '91 and 92iandare carried in A'osc'llatingframes l and 94.,
Frame 93 isica .loosely-'on shaft 78 and zadefpted toflje moved "by -apin 95 on segment 177..'v vMl'he'n 'the segment 77 scillates, pin will tii'i'ally strike a lprojecting end 96 ott 'trame '93 and throw the same and the spring plunger 91 into the path ot' projection :89, this occurring gas 'lever -75 nears thel lower'end o'f its stroke. Then the upper end of the stroke 'of 'lever -77is reached a cam 07 moimted on sha-ft 7'8 strikes a roller 98 on the *frame 95 throwing yspring plunger 92 around its pivot y78 int'othe' path of projection 90 of the carrier; 1This mechanism e\'idntly serves'to grac'l'nal-l'y stop'the carrier at each end ot its t'ravehand thereby prevents any sudden Ajur being` given to the heavy mechanism.
As the mechanism has been thus far described the main counter-on shaft 54:? will be l "thrown into operation at each actuation of t'heniach 1ne and 'some one ofl the counters T3 will also bef actuated. a commensurate amount. lt issometimes desirable however to prevent theoperation ofthe main counter for certain transactions or for certain departments of sales and" two separate meansv are provided for performing this function.
Thefirst is shown in Fig. 4 and is operated when one o`ffthc threelower keys of the.v special. bank shown infFig. 6 is depressed.
.the lever and the care I l l y three keys indicated by numeral 101; is de- Y pressed its .pin 1'02 engages and operates arm 103 mounted on the ro'd 104. v.This arm, 103 is connected through av link 105 to an arm 106 rigid on a shaft 1,07v and carrying a cam projection 108. In the normal' position of the mechanism thecam projection 108 ,is out of the path of travel of 'a segmental flange 109 on -the segment 16 for the bank of special keys.l lVh-en however one ofthe keys 101 is depressed the'` arm 106 is' rocked enough to carry the cam p1ojectiom108 in position to be engaged on its -caln edge by a ybeveled edge of the segmental flange 109. When the mach-ine is then operated .the bev eled 'edge oftlange 109 will force the 'arm l106 still farther to the rear, Mounted on shaft-107 soas to. move therewith is 4an arm' I11'0 show-n in Fig. 2. The outer end of this arm is 'under and adapted to.` actuate a har 111 journaled on said shaft-10.7.. This bar is connected through a link 112 to the .link f6-1 previously referred to. VV-hen one' of `the special keys 1'01 :has been'depressed and the machine is yoperated the 'arm 110vwi1l engage and raise bar 111 and 'link .112 vthereby elevating the link 64` and carryir'i'gr 'its .notch away lfrom the pin '63 of the arm-62. When the flink 64 is then reciprocated 'as previously described no movement of arm 62 will takeV `cal beveled -gear `114 meshing with thefhori-V zontal beveled gear 115 carrying a gear seg'- lnent 116. -This segment 116 as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 engage a 4rack 11-7 'lona shaft 118, the shaft bein-g enlarged at' the point. where the -rack is cut vthereln. As shown in 'Fig 1 the rack vteeth 117 are curved so -that the shaft 118 maybe rocked without carrying the teeth 117 away from segment 110. The structure described clearly provides for a diiiercntial movement of shaft 11S-'axially cqrresprmding to the 'extent of movement l -given lever 7 5. Rgidly -mounted on this sliding `sha-ft is an arm 120 also shown in' Fig. 24 under van eirtension'of bar 1-11. A series otholes are bored rn bar 111 directly over the path of the outer end of arm 120 and in any desired hules pins 121 may be placed. In Fig. 3 the Ypins are inserted in j position such that .the arm 120 will be -directly under them when the lever '75 is in '118 has aV splinel 122 in which isafkey `128, the arm 124 serving to connect 'through the? key `and spline the shaft 118 to a link A125 A. f and to an 'arm 126 on-'theslia-ft 13. VVhe'n this shaft 1,3 isoscillatedl by the 'operation cillated and thc arm 120 carried lthereby l provement on raised and it will be clear that if, when the arm l20is raised it has been moved under oneof the pins 121 that the bar 111 will also he raised as was the case when the arm 110 was operated. The raising of bar 111 thrugh pins 121 willclearly serve to prevent/the operation of 'the main counter and it will he observed vthat this construction provides not onlyv for throwing out the main counterat any desired lever position but for to engage and be stopped by the pin 138' onv adjusting the pins 121 so that the throw ont of the main counter may be changed from one lever position to another.
In the Carroll patent referred to the. setting lever for the counter carrier serves to yunlock the -mi shine and this function is mounted through links 135 and 136 on thev lever 75.' The link 136 carries an arm 137 adapted when the pinch lever 131 is operated the `lever-75. On the slide 134 is a lug 139 having beveled edges 140 and directl over' this lug is a frame piece`141 having epressions 142 corresponding in shape to the beveled part of the lng 139. Normally the lug 139 engages and is retained by some one ofl the' depressions 142 as shown in the figure.
A cut away portion of the lug 139allows it to ride over a segment 143 carried bymeans u of pin and -slot connections 1.44 and 145 on connected arms 146 and 147. These arms are pivoted respectively at 148 and 149 and are connected at their adjacent ends by a pin and slot connection 150. The upper arm 147 has a rearward projection 151a enga'glng a projection 152a on shaft 153, A The shaft 149 as shown in said Carroll patent on which arm 147 is mounted serves to throw a-second arm into the path of a disk mounted on shaft 54 and having a cut away portion nor- -mally opposite the said arm so that vwhen pinch lever 131 is operated and the slide"134 lowered the lug 139l will engage and move rearwardly the segment 143 thereby rocking' arm 1477 shaft 149 and so throwing the arm referred to into the said notch. This evidently ylocks the machine luntil the pinch lever is allowed to return to normal position thereby .elevating the lug 139, and it will be seen that this lug cannot beelevated unless it is directly opposite one of the depressions 142 of segment 143.', The machine1 is therefore llocked' when the lever 75 is out of any one yof its nine positions. The regu-lar machine lock is controlled from shaft 153a in thei'manner shown in the Carroll patent refeiired to. The structure' including segments and the parts operated thereby is an im-- Carrolll patent in that no Inatterwhere the the structure shown inthe..
lever 7 5 is the amount of fome-necessaryvto operate segment l143 will be the same which was not the case in the pate'entedwP structure.'
The bank -of `special keys shown in Fig. i devices to cause a record to bermade at eac V o ration,
is intended lto control printin of the clerkor department" in w ich-.the
transaction was made. The lever positions. are indicated Vby the same'letters as are on the keys. `It is sometimesfdesirable, as for example, if the clerk temporarily leaves the establishment to revent. the operation of.
this counter or of is special key during his z absence, and to` accomplishthis .I provide means under lock and key for preventing the depression of the special keys and for preventing the release of the machme at de sired positions of the lever. A
AIn Fig. 6 is shown a serles ofkey operatedv locks 151, thebolts of which are adapted to engage under the special keys.l These bolts are indicatedby numerals 152 and it will be l observed that. the second bolt `froifn the top has been cut away. When one'of the locks f 151 is operated its bolt 152 lwill be eect'ed into the path of thefspecialfkeys an w111 clearly thereby prevent their depression. If
it is not desired tolock some particular key f the bolt may be cut away' as indicated.4 The .locks 151 alsocontrol bolts 153 for llocking the lever. Thesebolts153 have dependin projections 154 which are normally out o theV path of the Vbent 'arm 155 ri 'dlycarried by the slide 134. In the norma position of the device the slide 134 may be raised and lowered as the projections 154 ofthe `bolts are out of its path. When however the bolts 153 are withdrawn by operating the locks 151,' the depending projections 154 are then in the radial path of arm' 155 `of the Slide v134. This will clearly prevent the movement of' slide 134 to its outward position and as it has been stated that when the slide is depressed alocking arm is thrown intoa notch'.
on`the disk on shaft 5 4, it will be seenthat the machine will remain locked and cannot be unlocked until either the Ylever is moved to another .position or thebolt 153 is moved` outwardly. This mechanism clearly serves toy prevent any operation of the machine.
with ythe leverin a parti'culayposition Aand Vserves to prevent the Vdepression of any de-- sired speclal key.`
