Title: Improvements in and relating to Cash Registers.
Inventor: CHRYST WILLIAM ALBERT
Filed: 1911-03-29
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 7916. Chryst, W. A. April 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Autographic cash recorders.-Relates to the provision of means for allowing a written entry to be made beside each printed entry on the record strip of a cash register. The apparatus is shown applied to a machine of the kind described in Specification 6428/09, and consists of a table carrying the record strip which is held normally in the writing position but is rocked on operation of the machine so as to allow the entry to be printed. The record strip passes from a supply roll 62 over a table 60, underneath a writing aperture 72 and glass plate, and on to the winding-on roll 63. Movement is given to the table by a link 54 from an arm on the main rocking-shaft of the machine referred to, the link being pivoted to a lever 55 pivoted on the centre of movement 56 of the table, and having a slot 57 embracing a pin 58 on the frame of the table. The lost motion thus allowed operates a link 80 to rock a frame 75, 76 pivoted at 77 to the table. This initial movement engages a stud 83 on the frame with a fixed plate 85 and causes a pin 91 to engage a pawl 90 so as to lift a stud 86 thereon from engagement with the plate 85. The frame is then rocked backwards, and at the beginning of the return movement the lost motion thrusts the link 80 and frame 75, 76 upwards so as to bring a platen-roll 73 thereon against the paper to effect the printing. The pressure of the platen is adjusted by means of an eccentric 78 connecting the two sides of the frame 75, 76. During the first movement of the table a pawl 70 on the lever 55 carries on the winding-on drum, and on the return movement a holding-pawl 71 feeds the paper. To prevent too free movement of the paper, a spring plunger on the spindle 64 of the supply roll presses against the side of the table, a tooth being provided on the plunger to catch the inside of the roll. The paper is attached to the winding-on roll by means of a pin and groove 101. A pair of levers 94, connected by a strong spring, cushions the movements of the table. To permit a special feed of the paper at will, a plunger slides against a spring in the spindle of the winding-on roll, and carries a knurled knob and a disk 105 with pins which engage the spokes of a wheel 102 on the winding-on drum. To prevent such special feed during actuation of the register, teeth formed on the disk 105 are engaged by a lever 109, unless this is held off by a pin 111 on the main lever 51, which only occurs when the register mechanism is in normal position.
