Abstract: 6277. Ironside, E. A. March 12. Exhibiting messages &c.-Relates to the class of machine described in Specification 22,494/06, wherein a card is obtained by prepayment and, when a notice or message has been written thereon, is put upon an endless displaying band. On closing the door f, Fig. 1, a slide c linked to a small crank on its hinge works a bell-crank lever n having a tripping catch m, whereby a rod p is raised to expose an ' engaged ' indicator q and to rock an escapement gate x which detains the newly-inserted card in the shoot z. The endless band s being slowly operated by a weight-motor, a catch v on the upper roller w presently trips the lower end of the rod p from a support u, whereupon the escapement lets the card drop into a pocket on the band. The endless band is made up of a series of flexible plates, with upturned ledges for the cards, which are detachably connected by paper clips so that units may be added or removed as desired. In the weight-driving gear for giving motion to the band, a long flat weight is used suspended from a drum at each end of the shaft. The roller for the endless band may be geared at one end to the winding-drum and at the other to a controlling-train, or it may be external to a driving-train. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the card is dropped immediately to the band and the band is advanced by the action of a pawl d' hanging from a bell-crank lever d<2> actuated by the slide. Delivery mechanism.-The lowest pile of a pile h is partially extruded, ready for the next opening of the door, by a sliding plate j jointed to a lever i. Alternatively, the slide j, Fig. 3, is operated on opening the door f. Coin action, weight.-Dropped down a shoot a, Fig. 1, the coin depresses a lever b on the slide c, and a link d transmits the motion to a lever c ending in a lug e<2> holding up the door f. On the withdrawal of the rod, the lever leaves the bottom of the shoot and the coin drops to the usual receptacle. Coin-slit closing devices.-A shutter r on the indicator-rod closes the coin-slot till the band is ready to take,another card.
