[Class 106 (i)] A fluid-dispensing apparatus or other metering mechanism is provided with means for ensuring the delivery of a predetermined quantity or cost comprising a series of drums and notched discs rigidly and permanently connected to each drum, manual means for presetting the drums and notched discs, means for opening the supply valve, and means whereupon the drums are returned to starting position, the supply being automatically stopped. The invention is shown applied to an apparatus wherein the metering mechanism drives a shaft 11 or 12, Figs. 2, 2a and 2b, in accordance with the total cost or quantity respectively. One or other of these shafts can be coupled to a shaft 5 or 6 by worm gearing and clutches 7, 8 or 9, 10 by manipulation of a setting lever 1 or 2. The shafts 5 and 6 drive the unit wheels of corresponding counters 13, 14. The counters are provided with a Geneva-type transfer mechanism and each numeral drum carries a disc 15 with a single notch for co-operation with the projections on a double comb plate 18 carried by a link and arm 19 pivotally mounted on a control shaft 22. The arm 19 is formed with a projection 20 and the shaft 22 has a pin 23 which co-operate with a finger 25 on a locking lever 24 pivoted on the shaft 22. The lever 24 has an extension with abutments 26, 27 adapted to co-operate with an arm 30 on the shaft 31 of the delivery valve and a cam 28 on the shaft 29 of the operating handle. The shafts 29 and 31 are connected by means of sector gears 32, and 33. The numeral drums of the counters are mounted on nested sleeves terminating in knobs 16 and 17 whereby the drums can be set to any predetermined value. During this setting operation the knobs by means of a cam (not shown) raise the comb plate 18 and thereby rock the lever 24 to unlocking position as shown in Fig. 3a. The shaft 29 can then be operated to open the valve which will be held in open position by the projection 26 engaging the arm 30. During delivery the drums are driven backwards until the zero position is reached whereupon the comb plate 18 enters the notches of the discs 15. At the same time the locking lever 24 is freed and releases the arm 30 which under spring action closes the valve and stops delivery. To provide for a manually controlled supply means (not shown) are provided to lock the knobs 16 and 17 against actuation when the levers 1 and 2 are in neutral position. The control shaft 22 is then turned to raise the locking lever 24 and free the shaft 29 for actuation. Restoring the shaft 22 cuts off the supply.
