Title: Improved Apparatus for Automatically Recording the Time at which Audible Signals are Given, at which Doors are Opened or the like.
Inventor: DRIEL OCKER JAN ADRIAAN REPELA
IPC: G07C1/08
Filed: 1910-11-29
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 27,794. Driel, O. J. A. R. van. Nov. 29. Recording particular operations; roller - and - sheet apparatus. - I n apparatus for recording audible signals, such as ships' whistles, fog-horns, &c., and occurrences such as the opening of safes &c., a number of cam-operated levers are adapted to perforate a clock-driven strip; long and short signals are differentiated. The strip 5 is drawn from a wheel 3 by a clockdriven roller 2 co - operating with a spring- depressed roller 6. The strip is wound upon a wheel 4 rotated from the wheel 3 by a cord 12 through ratchet mechanism 14. The strip passes over a table 9 and beneath a perforated plate 41, through which the perforating extremities of the levers 17 may pass. When a long signal is given, a lever 33 is rocked through 180 degrees, thus causing a cam 20 to actuate the first and, say, the second of three of the levers 17. When the signal is again sounded, the cam rotates through another 180 degrees, and the first and third levers are operated. Short signals are recorded by means of a second set of levers and a cam rotated through 120 degrees, one lever only being moved at each signal and the levers being employed in succession. The cams are rotated through ratchet connexions, so that the cam does not return when its actuating-lever is released. To ensure the correct angular displacement of, say, the lever 33, its operating-cord 38 is secured to a disk 44 attached to a disk 46, which is connected with the signal-producing means by a cord 45 and is rotated by a handle 47 movable between stops 48, 49. In a modification, the levers 17 do not perforate the strip directly but by means of interposed spring-controlled pins. Time may be recorded on the strip by a succession of marks representing ten-minute periods, a mark being omitted at each hour &c. Long periods may be recorded by a rubber tongue secured to one of the strip - carrying drums.
