Patent GB-191010918-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Counting Mechanism.
Inventor: NORBALLE HANS JACOB
IPC: G06M1/04
Filed: 1910-05-03
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 10,918. Norballe, H. J., and Lawson, J. L. May 3. Counters actuated by electric means; transfer mechanism.-Relates to a deep - notch counter with electric actuation. An actuating - frame, composed of side pieces C, Fig. 2, and a crossbar C<2> is pivoted on the rod A<5> and is linked to the core of a solenoid B, the energization of which raises the frame for return by a spring. Pivoted to the frame and pressed downwards by springs are the actuating and transfer pawls D, adapted each to engage the receiving ratchetpinion F<1> of one of the numeral wheels whenever a lateral projection D<1> on the pawl drops into a recess F<3> in the flange of the next lower wheel, In the case of the unit wheel there is constant engagement between the pawl and the ratchet-wheel. Overthrow-preventing mechanism. - A series of stops in the form of a comb J is carried by the actuating-frame and engages the forward edges of ratchet-teeth to prevent overrunning as the actuating and transfer pawls complete a stroke. Zeroizing-mechanism.-The method adopted is by rotation of the normally stationary numeralwheel shaft E. which is recessed for engagement with pawls K upon the numeral wheels. In order to effect this the numeral-wheel shaft is geared to a zeroizing-shaft which must first be moved longitudinally to clear a locking-pin before rotation is possible. The usual spring detents G remain, during the zeroizing operation, under the full pressure of their springs G<2>, but during actuation a pin H<4> upon the actuating frame is removed from above an arm H<2> attached to the frame carrying the detent springs, whereupon a spring H' opposes the detent springs. The overthrow-preventing stops J are also so mounted that they may yield if zeroizing takes place while they are in engagement. Fig. 7 shows an alternative arrangement whereby the pressure of the springs G<2> upon the detents G is positively increased during zeroizing by means of a cam H<5> upon the numeralwheel spindle and link-work connected to the spring-carrying frame. The link-work is retained in the displaced position by a spring catch H<6>, which is finally disabled by the next movement of the actuating-frame.

Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 349. Lake, W. E., [Ward, A.]. Jan. 5. Sale apparatus.-Packets of confectionery &c. are contained in a series of columns 23, each of which is provided with separate coin and delivery mechanism, which is mounted between side plates 31 on a plate 30, all these mechanisms being operated from a common pull-bar 39. Delivery mechanism.-Beneath each column of goods is disposed a plate 45, which is guided in a slot in the plate 30 and is connected by a pivoted latch 48 to a plate 36 attached to the pull 39. Each plate 45 is provided with a pivoted pusher 46, which is normally disposed below the lowest packet of the column and has attached to it a wire 60 passing through guides 61, 62 on the plate 45 and having a bend 64 normally engaging a shoulder 95 on the plate. The insertion of a coin in any one of the slots and the operation of the pull 39 causes the lifting of the wire 60 of the corresponding delivery mechanism and the raising of the member 46 into position behind the lowest article, which is pushed into the delivery shoot 28 during the forward movement of the rod 39 and plate 45. The pull-bar and plate 45 are returned by a coiled spring (not shown), the member 46 and wire 60 being restored simultaneously to the normal position by the lowest packet of goods in the column. Coin action mechanical-connexion.-The coin 15 inserted in a slot 29 in the plate 28 comes to rest between pins 83, 84, Fig. 2, on a fixed plate 35 and pivoted plate 32 respectively, and, when the pull-bar is operated, forms an abutment for the wire 60. Coin - discharging mechanism.-The plate 45 passes through an opening 58, Fig. 2, in the plate 35 and the extremity 47 takes beneath the coin and forces it through an opening 86 in the plate 32. Coin-slit closing devices.-A spring-controlled slide 66 co-operating with a wire 80 attached to the member 46 closes the coin slot in the plate 30 when the member 46 is raised into the operative position. When the last packet is discharged, during the return of the plate 45, the member 46 passes through an aperture in the following weight 26 and stays in the raised position so that the coin slot remains closed. Fraud, preventing.-Light coins fail to depress a weighted lever 89 projecting between the plates 32, 35 and roll off between pins 85, as shown in dotted line, Fig. 2. The pivoted plate 32 is moved forward each time the pullbar is operated, so as to clear the shoot, by means of a roller 92 on an arm 91 attached to the plate 36. If it is attempted to operate the apparatus by inserting a strip of paper or metal through the coin-slot, a pin 50 on the latch 48 engages the upper end of the strip during the forward movement of the pull-bar, thereby causing the latch 48 to be turned on its pivot and disengaged from the plate 36.
