Title: Improvements in Devices for Performing Paper-strips and the like specially applicable for use in connection with Automatic Telegraphic Apparatus.
Inventor: POLLAK ANTON
Filed: 1905-06-07
Granted: 1906-09-07
Abstract: 11,903. Pollak, A. June 7. Telegraphs.-Relates to improvements in the device described in Specification No. 17,718, A.D. 1902, for perforating paper strips intended for use as telegraph transmitting-tapes. A spring-controlled frame 5, pivoted at 3, and extending upwards through a slot 1 in the base-plate 2, is depressed by the actuation of the key-levers, which extend across the edge 6 of the frame, and is retained in this position by a suitable catch. This depression establishes electric contact between a roller 8, carried by the frame 5, and springs 9, and energizes the punch-actuating magnet, the armature of which, in its motion towards the magnet, engages a lever 11, Fig. 4, which it rotates, breaking thereby a contact 12, 13. The lever 11 is maintained in this position by a spring-controlled locking-device 14, Fig. 5, which on the return of the frame 5 to its normal position is withdrawn by a bell-crank lever 15. To prevent any premature return of the frame 17, Fig. 6, when its stepped end 18 strikes the stop 19, a spring-actuated pawl 22 is provided to engage a curved rack 21 carried by the perforating-die 20. A pneumatic or other brake device is provided to prevent any rebound of the frame 17 at the other end of its swing. The device described comprises a dash-pot 23, the piston-rod 24 of which is provided with a slotted member 26, adapted to engage a pin on the arm 18 and apply a braking force only at the end of the travel of the frame. A device for adjusting and holding stationary during perforation a paper strip previously provided with guideholes comprises a comb-like row of pins 28, Fig. 8, supported by a spring 29 on a sliding shank 33. The comb is locked in its depressed position during the feed of the strip by a device actuated by a projection 32 on the die 20; at the end of the feed, the comb is released by the engagement with a pin on the locking-device of another pin on the frame 17. A curved guide 27 is provided to protect the perforated strip from creasing. In a modification, a spiked wheel 39, Fig. 9, carried on the die 20 engages the guide-holes, and is locked on the descent of the die by a spring pawl 40, which engages a ratchet-wheel attached to the wheel 39. The pawl 40 is lever-locked during the descent of the die 20, similarly to the comb 28, and is released to re-engage the wheel 39 at the end of the feed. In a further modification, the wheel 45, Fig. 11, is engaged in its lowest position by a tooth or the like 46 on a pivoted pawl 47, actuated by the die 20. The bar 77, referred to in the above-cited Specification, by which the length of feed is regulated, may be notched in each direction and operated similarly to the punch-locking bar 3, thus rendering the use of a spring for returning the bars unnecessary.

Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 20,728. Boult, A. J., [Burroughs Adding Machine Co.]. Sept. 18.. Typewriters &c.-In adding-machines which print the items added and the totals, means are provided to allow an item to be printed without being accu.. mulated or included in the total, and also to print a special distinguishing character against such items, which may be, for instance, the operator's number or an item set up wrongly. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to the adding-machine described in Specification No. 27,874, A.D. 1903. An item is accumulated on the return stroke of the operating- lever, after a pawl 821 on a rocking arm 813 has engaged the pin 961 on a plate 913 to rock the latter and bring the counter into gear with the toothed sectors. When an item is to be printed but not added, the engagement of the pawl 821 and pin 961 is prevented by depression of the special key 4, bar 3 and lever 1, a projection on the latter arresting the pawl 821. The depression of the key 4 also causes the arm 9 and arm 8 to rock about the pivot 206 to free the hammer 715 in the usual way, the characteristic type on the lever 611<a> being normally presented at the printing line. When a total is to be printed, the bar 207 is rocked in the usual manner on the depression of the key 265, a pin 6 on this bar rocking the special type-lever 611<a> through its projection 5 to bring the "total" distinguishing type to the printing line, and a pin 250 on the bar 226 rocking the arms 227“ and 8 to free the hammer. The usual pin-and-slot connexion between the bars 226, 227“ is replaced by a pin and shoulder contact to permit the bar 206 to be rocked by the key 4 without rocking the bar 207.
