Abstract: 1,225,662. Electromagnetic selectors; contact-members for switches. F. KUBLER, [trading as ING. FRITZ KUBLER ZAHLERFABRIK]. 21 March, 1968, No. 13631/68. Heading H1N. [Also in Division G4] Each denomination roller 3 of a multidigit roller counter has its position read through an electrical printed circuit board 10, the electrical contact pin 18 leading to the roller being pressed away from the board when the roller is moving. This reduces wear on the electrical contacts on the board 10. The six rollers are actuated by an electromagnet which advances a ratchet 6, and hence the rollers, in a known manner. Each roller meshes with a gear 8 and on each gear there is an eccentric hole through which the contact pin 18 passes (Fig. 4, not shown). Each pin 18 is pressed against one of a number of contacts on the board 10 by one end of a leaf spring 19, the other end of which engages with a comb 27. The comb can be moved left (on Fig. 2) by an electromagnet (or by mechanical means) at the same time as the ratchet 6 is actuated thus relieving the pressure of the spring on the contact pin 18 while the roller and gear-wheel are rotating. The electromagnet controlling the comb 27 is released when the ratchet 6 has stopped moving, or after a short time delay and the comb is moved back to its original position by a spring 28. A push-button zeroizing mechanism uses a heart-shaped can.

In response to the detection of faulty, double or no-feed of a sheet to the front edge 11 of a feed table, the front stops 10 are locked in position preventing transfer of the sheet to reciprocating grippers 34. In normal operation stops 10 are actuated by a driven cam 26 through follower 33 levers 27, 28, 29 drive shaft 5 and levers 6, 9 and 13. Detection of a fault in the feed (not described) causes actuation of a solenoid 16, moving lever 17, pull rod 18, levers 23, 24 and shaft 2. Partial rotation of shaft 2 moves levers 1 and 3 thus causing stop 8 to be displaced into the path of movement of lever 7 (which lever moves with lever 6) and locks the stop actuating mechanism against further movement. Simultaneously through lever 35 rod 36, lever 37 and shaft 38, arcuate cam track 39 is displaced causing grippers 34 to be locked in the open position.
