Title: Improvements in Autographic Attachments for Cash Registers and Operating Mechanism therefor.
Filed: 1910-06-14
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 14,401. National Cash Register Co., [National Cash Register Co.]. June 14. Autographic cash registers.-Relates to improvements in autographic attachments for cash registers which are thrown into or out of operation correspondingly to the nature of the transaction. Such apparatus is described in Specifications 7960/09 and 5202/09. The feedratchet 34 of the autographic strip is engaged by a pawl 37 carried in a rocking arm 38 attached to a shaft 39, on which is splined a sleeve 40 carrying a downwardly-extending finger 41. The finger 41 can thus be brought into the path of a lever 53, which is rocked at each operation of the machine by the coupler, or of a slide 44 which is pivoted to an arm 48 on a shaft having arms 50 to engage pins 51 on the special keylevers only. In the middle position, the finger 41 is not engaged by either actuator. A spring- latch lever 56 locks the sliding sleeve in position. Specification 10,213/93 is referred to.

Abstract: 30,215. Davy Bros., and Holmes, T. E. Dec. 29. Rope and chain stresslimiting devices. - Overload relief apparatus for cranes is so arranged that the incidence of an overload releases the selfsustaining brake until normal conditions are restored. Means may also be provided for simultaneously declutching the power supply. In the arrangement shown, the drum E is driven by gearing from a motor A through a clutch B. The tailing end of the hoisting-rope G is passed round a pulley K pivoted to a lever L. The self-sustaining brake comprises shoes Q<1>, Q<2> normally applied to a drum Q by a bent lever P<1>. The drum Q is geared by a pawl s to the drum E when lowering. The lever P<1> forms an abutment for a spring N from which the lever L is suspended by a rod M, so that the braking action is proportional to the load . Should an overload occur, the washer n engages a three armed lever P<2>, which is connected to the shoe Q<2> by a link p and to the clutch-operating lever T' by a link T.

Abstract: 13,384. Seiman, A. June 3. Transfer mechanism; detent and overthrowpreventing mechanism.-A disk a receives movement from the mixed-drive mechanism, and pins b thereon intermittently depress a lever c, Fig. 6, carrying a spring-controlled pawl e for actuating a cents fare-wheel h. Upon a pin s carried by this pawl are mounted overthrowpreventing pawls r, and also a pawl t for effecting the transfer-movement to the units-ofdollars wheel w. This pawl is furnished with a pin 2, Fig. 1, adapted to bear upon the periphery of the cents wheel and to slip into a recess thereon at the transfer point; whereupon the pawl comes into engagement with the actuating-pins v of the cents wheel. The transfer movement of the highest or tens-of-dollars wheel 4 is effected by an internal spring 5, Fig. 3, which is rewound whenever the numeralwheel spindle 6 is rotated to zeroize the wheels by means of the known cams and spring-pawls 13, 11, and impels the wheel forward by one unit in two steps whenever a transfer-pin upon the units-of-dollars wheel lifts a roller 9 upon a spring - controlled escapement anchor 7 with which pins 10 upon the tens wheel engage. In this way the work to be done by the clock in transferring, on such occasions as the taximeter is registering according to time, is diminished. Spring plungers m with inclined heads are provided for alining and preventing reverse movement of the fare wheels.

Abstract: 12,463. Wardle & Davenport, and Walker, F. W. May 25. Circular machines.- Relates to improvements in machines such as are described in Specification 19,314/10 for making neck - ties &c. The cam 8 for operating the sliders 7 of the pattern-wheel 5 is mounted on a slide 12 so that it can be placed out of action, as shown in dotted lines when it is desired to make plain fabric. The slide 12 may be controlled by a lever 14 connected by pin-and-slot 16, 18 to a slide 17 moved by pattern-mechanism. The lever 14 is connected to the slide 12 by a spring and a yielding plunger 19. The slide 12 is retained in the selected position by a pin 23 which runs on a flange 21 of the pattern-wheel 5, the flange being cut away at one place to allow the slide 12 to take up a fresh position as determined by the lever 14. In another form, the slide 12 is controlled by a grooved cam 24 attached to which is a ratchet-wheel 26 operated by a pawl 25 on a rocking lever 33. The lever is engaged at each revolution by a cam on the wheel 5, and carries a second pawl which feeds a pattern chain onwards. The pawl 25 is normally prevented from operating the ratchet-wheel 26 and consequently the cam 24 and slide 12 by a guard 36, but each dog of the pattern chain in turn lifts a lever 39 and rocks the guard 36 whereupon the ratchet-wheel is fed forward one tooth by the pawl 25.
