Title: New or Improved Adding-Up Apparatus.
Inventor: ECKELMANN MAX
Filed: 1906-05-23
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 12,084. Eckelmann, M. May 23. Calculatin,y-ap.paratus ; c o u n t i n gapparatus.-In an adding-machine a number of superposed disks of decreasing radii, each corresponding to one denomination, have ratchet teeth cut upon their edges for engagement by the actuating - pawls, which are all mounted upon a single setting and operating lever movable over graduated scales to give the differential actuation. The transfer mechanism is of the moving-pawl type, and stops on the framework are brought into the path of others on the disks for zeroizing. Each of the disks 3 ... 6 is loosely pivoted centrally and bears numerals visible through windows 32, the adding-disks being separated by other fixed disks 11 which have gaps 46 along a radial line to allow the transfer pawl 44 of the lower outer adding-disk to be momentarily spring- pressed into gear with and advance the next higher disk by means of its ratchet teeth. The operating-lever 44 is loosely pivoted at the centre of the disks, and has index plates 42, 242, one of which is brought to the required numeral on one of the scales during the setting stroke and the lever then returned to its stop 142 during the operating stroke ; upon the lever are also mounted the four actuating-pawls 16 .... 19, each of which has a forked end with one prong resting on the disk and the other engaging the ratchet teeth. During actuation, one pawl only is in engagement with its disk, the others being tilted back about the lever until their upper ends take under spring catches 20. A slide 33 can be moved by the handle 36 to bring stops thereon into the path of projections 40 upon the disks, which are then set to zero one-by-one by means of the operating-lever; these stops are not rigidly mounted upon the slide but are carried upon a second slide, spring-controlled and movable thereon, in order that, if zeroizing is attempted when one of the projections 40 is standing at the slide, the parts may not lock. The machine shown is designed and numbered for English currency, but may be adapted to any system ; in modifications, a single actuating-pawl is adjustable upon the lever, and a single index may be employed, so connected to the pawl that the two stand always over corresponding scales and disks.

Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 18,169. Marchthal, E. M. von. Aug. 14, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Typewriters.- Relates to means for justifying in typewriters, in which a first setting is made to determine.the line deficit and the number of type elements or word spaces over which the deficit is to be distributed, and then, after suitable adjustment of the spacing- mechanism, a second setting is made, either by hand or automatically by means of a perforated strip prepared at the first setting. Fig. 1 shows a mechanical dividing-device for inserting the corrections in the word spaces. The carriage W<1> is driven by a spring drum F and controlled by ball clutches K<1>, K<2> on a bar S<1>. The clutch K' is stationary and operated to release the carriage. The clutch K<2> is movable on the bar S<1> to determine the spacing, a nose w on the clutch engaging a stop lever H<2>. The movement of the clutch K<2> is effected by means of a sliding rod L, engaged by a lever H<3> limited by a fixed or adjustable stop t. During the first setting, the lever H<2> is held up by a catch k. During the second setting, the catch k is released by an electro-magnet E or mechanical means on operating the space key, so that the lever H<2> can move down upon a stop g, set according to the two factors determined by the first setting. The stop g is adjustable along an horizontal arm of an angle-bar P adjustable vertically in a socket G. The bar P is adjusted so that the vertical distance between the pivot o of the lever H<2> and the top of the stop g is equal to the line deficit. The stop g is adjusted so that the horizontal distance between it and the pivot o is equal to the vertical distance between the pivot o and the path of the nose w, multiplied by the number of word spaces in the line. The two adjustments may be made automatically when a perforated strip is used.
