Title: Improved Vote-registering Devices.
Inventor: BARKER EDWARD
Filed: 1912-01-03
Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 217. Barker, E. Jan. 3. Voting-apparatus.-In apparatus of the type in which a special token is inserted into an opening or slot corresponding to a particular candidate, means are provided to prevent spurious tokens from being used, and to give a signal at the registration of each vote. The spherical, cylindrical, or other token of the standard dimensions is inserted into a correspondingly-shaped opening C and allowed to fall down a shoot D over diverging rails E to a vertical tube G, whereupon it strikes the free end of a lever H, depressing it against the action of a spring or counterweight J. The token then rolls off into a receiving-receptacle, and the lever in returning to its normal position actuates the ratchet-wheel A of a counting-mechanism. The number of tokens in this receptacle is a check on the results given by the dials of the counting-mechanism. The opening C is of such a size as to prevent objects larger than the standard from being inserted, and smaller ones which are put in fall through between the diverging rails into a trough F. When a vote is cast, a circuit is completed through the lever H and contact S to actuate an electric bell or other signal device. Alternative methods of actuating the counting-mechanism are described according to which a spring or weight controlled by the lever H may be employed to release the counting-wheel after the manner of an escapement, or an electromagnetic device may be used, or the spheres may fall into a trough or tank and the amount of the displaced fluid be gauged to give an indication of the number of spheres that have passed through the machine.
