Abstract: 24,653. Ohmer, J. F. Nov. 4, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Ticket punches.-Ticket issuing and registering machines of the type described in Specifications Nos. 8511 and 20.402, A.D. 1904, and No. 22,117, A.D. 1906, are provided with detail counters having a single actuating-finger common to all for recording the tickets issued under each value denomination. The ticket strip, longitudinally divided into divisions representing various fares, is carried upwards from a store spool 5 past a lower series of punches which perforate from each ticket the date and the direction of travel, and is then carried horizontally to the front of the machine past punches which perforate the point of destination and the fare paid. The ticket strip is fed forward by a feed-roller 10 and a spring-controlled pressureroller 12. The feed-roller is moved from a main operating-lever 14 through a pinion on the shaft 16 and a pinion 17 on the main operating-shaft 18. Downward movement of the lever operates the punches through a shoulder 31, and the return stroke, by means of a pawl and ratchet device 20, 19, actuates the total counter mounted on the shaft 33, Fig. 2, and the detail counters 35. The detail counters are mounted in a frame 36 around a square shaft 37, on which slides a finger 40 having an extended hub. A lever 44 is connected to an indicator hand 47, Fig. 4, while the lower end is mounted on the extended hub. The indicator hand slides along a scale 49 on which is indicated each fare corresponding to the values on the ticket. The forked ends of a shifting-lever 53 moves the hand 47 to the selected fare, and thereby the lever 44 moves the finger 40 into alinement with the corresponding detail counter. The star-wheel of this counter is actuated by the rotation of the bar 37 through the master gear 17<1> and the gear-wheels 55, 56.
