Title: Improvements in Calculating Machines.
Inventor: GOMILA SALVADOR DE
Filed: 1905-03-15
Granted: 1906-05-15
Abstract: 5483. Gomila, S. de. March 15. Calculating-apparatus; counting-apparatus. - In a doublekeyboard multiplying-machine, the adding-keys give a variable throw to a pivoted yoke-piece which actuates a setting-wheel moved by band to gear with the counting-wheels of the different orders, and the multiplying-keys similarly operate means for repeating this registration a given number of times, zeroizing and transferring arrangements being described for the totalizing-counter. Figs. 1 and 3 show in end elevation and plan, respectively, the adding key-levers 5 and multiplying key-levers 6, all having the same throw but arms of different length so as to produce the required differential motion of the tapering yokes 13, 14. Adding is effected by the upward movement of a sector 20, pivoted at 21 and driving through a ratchet clutch the shaft 23, upon which is keyed a slidable master setting-pinion 26 provided with a guide 27 and an indicator. By means of an endless chain 31 passing over pulleys, one of which is provided with a hand ratchet-feed equal to the distance between two counting-wheels, this setting-pinion may be traversed along a slot in the front of the machine so as to gear with counting - wheels of different orders at will. A second sector 61, also loosely mounted upon the shaft 21, gears with another pinion on the shaft 23 and is controlled as to position by an overlapping pin 74 upon the first sector and a spring arm 73 projecting from the first under the second sector. It is actuated from the multiplying-yoke 14 by means of the linkwork shown and the segment 58, driving a cam-wheel 57, the teeth of which depress the sector to its zero position as they pass the roller 63 on the extension 62. The operation is as follows :-Each multiplication is performed between two digits only, the first digit being registered once by depression of the proper adding-key, which is then held down, and upon depression of the multiplying-key corresponding to the second digit the cam-wheel depresses the sector 61 that number of times less one. Upward motion of the sector is effected by the spring 73 and limited by the pin 74 upon the first sector, so that at each upward movement the original digit is registered on the counter. A hinged flap 69 with an india-rubber ball 70 is provided for attaching the machine to a table so that it may hang over the edge. The spring arms 47. upon the main counter spindle 40 and recesses 48 in the numeralwheels are for zeroizing the counter upon rotation of the spindle by means of the head 41 ; but when the motion of the shaft is reversed, the springs are thrown out of engagement by the fingers 46. Transferring is effected by the pin 52 engaging the arm 50 about its shaft 49, so as to feed on the next higher wheel by means of the spring pawl 53.
