Title: Improvements in Cash Registers.
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
Filed: 1902-09-01
Granted: 1903-07-16
Abstract: 19,177. Haddan, H. J., [National Cash Register Co.]. Sept. 1. Receipts, checking and recording. -Apparatus such as is described in Specification No. 5729, A.D. 1895, operated by keys representing various money values, is so modified that a check is fed into the machine, printed with the required money value, and ejected, and another record subsequently made upon a continuous strip, both operations being effected by a single set of printing or numbering wheels. Modifications are also described in the methods of operating the inking-ribbon and the permanent recording- strip, and provision is made for making the permanent record only, if required. Fig. 2 is a side view of the mechanism, the platen and check-operating parts of which are shown enlarged in Fig. 3. The recording-strip 5 passes from the drum under the numbering-wheels 3, of which there are three carried on a nest of sleeves on the same shaft and operated by segmental racks on the key levers, gearing with pinions. The feeddisc 18 carries the strip to the drum 36. The endless inking-ribbon 6 passes over the roller on the spring-pressed lever 26, and thence over the roller 31 and shaft 23<a> to pass under the numbering- wheels 3 above the recording-strip and back by the roller 32. The shaft 40 is vibrated by the keys, and feeds the strip and ribbon by means of a lever 39, pawl 37, ratchet-wheel 38, and gearing 33, 34, 35. Movement of a key rotates the cam 9 and depresses the levers 7, 14 pivoted at 7<a>. The rack 15 and pinion 16<a> rotate the cam 17 and lower feed-disc 18, so that the shaft 22 on the lever 23 falls, and the check, previously inserted by hand as far as the stop-pin 20, is gripped at its edge between the roughened edges of the two feed-discs 18, 21, and carried to the right between the paper strip and the ribbon. Upon release by the cam, the lever 7 is jerked upwards by the spring 10, and the platen 4 thereon forces the paper, check, and ribbon against the numbering-wheel 3. A spring stud upon the-platen ensures the fall of the lever. The arm 14 is then released by the cam, and similarly forced up by the spring 10, and its projection 16 causes the platen to effect an impression upon the strip, the check having been ejected by rotation of the feed-discs. The cam 17 simultaneously raises the disc 21, to give room for insertion of another check. When no check is required, the lever 14 is held down by a spring catch, and the second impression prevented.
