Patent GB-190928008-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Workmen's Time Check Apparatus.
Inventor: BOWMAN WILLIAM DAVID
IPC: G07C1/32
Filed: 1909-12-01
Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 28,008. Bowman, W. D., and Bowman, F. G. Dec. 1. [Addition to 28,228/08.] Factory and like time-recorders, dial type.- Apparatus of the kind described in the parent Specification can be actuated only when the key &c. is in its place, that is, prior to the removal of the key &c., and subsequent to its return. Each key A is passed through a lock, the removable bolt b<2> of which is projected when the key is removed, but retracted when the key is returned. An electrically-controlled pivoted catch device e, similar in construction to the catch C described in the parent Specification, prevents the bolt from being moved except when the catch is freed to be pressed inwards. Actuation of the recording - device when the key is absent may be prevented by an electrically-controlled catch e<1>, Fig. 3, which permits the recording-device to be operated when the contact f Fig. 1, carried by the bolt engages the contact f. More than one key and its corresponding locking-device may be employed, each device being located in an independent circuit having a switch common to all. This switch is closed by the lever which moves the type-carriage endwise. The switch may control the electric circuits so that if one key is out and the recording-device therefore held against operation by the catch e<1>, the circuit may be changed to allow another key to be withdrawn and the catch e released. Records, independent of the time records, may be made by means of this switch. Mechanical devices may replace the electric devices, for instance, as shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 7, a rocking frame i pivoted on a shaft h carries spring-controlled lever arms j spaced apart so that one arm only at a time is opposite its corresponding lock b<1>. The frame may be moved by the lever that moves the typecarriage endwise, and a key cannot be removed until the stop-piece r, corresponding to a particular lock, is moved through the pivoted arm j of the frame i by the operation of the recording-device. When the lock is open the bolt engages the lever j so that the timerecording mechanism is locked. The apparatus is released only when the lock is closed or the lever moved out of engagement with the bolt. To prevent the bolt from being retracted except when the corresponding lever arm j is in a definite position relatively to its lock, the bolt may be held in its open position by means of a lever s, Fig. 7, having a projection s<1> which engages a notch in the bolt. The catch is released when the frame is moved so that the extension s<2> is engaged by the bevelled edges j<2> of the corresponding arm j. When the bolt is in its retracted position it may complete an electric circuit including a contact-device which is closed when a lavatory door is opened.
