Title: Coin-freed Apparatus for Selling Postage Stamps and the like.
Filed: 1906-03-26
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 7 2 9 8 . Oehring, O., and Abel'sche Briefmarken - Automaton - Vertriebe- Ges. March 26. Sale apparatus for selling postage stamps, tickets, &c. Coin action.-The coin forms connexion between two parallel disks one of which is fixed to the operating-handle and the other to the main shaft. One disk has two pins and the other two slots for the engagement of the coin. Delivery mechanism.-The perforated strip has a dual feed, the rough feeding being effected by rollers or the like and the fine feeding by fingers or needles which are fixed to a reciprocating bar and engage with the transverse lines of perforations in the strip. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the strip 3<a> is fed forward when the raised parts 15, 16 of the roller 14 come opposite the spring- pressed roller 4. The fingers 25 then come forward and correct the inaccuracy of the roller feed so that a row of perforations is exactly beneath the spring knife 36 which now descends and cuts off the end stamp &c. The fingers are connected to the bell-crank lever 24, 21 worked by the cam 18 and the knife is connected to the lever 30 worked by the cam 27. The feedway 3, Fig. 4, for the strip has the form shown, so that the fingers get a better hold. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the knife 73 operated by the cam 75 is arranged between two pairs of feed rollers 61, 63, and the fingers 58 are operated by the bell-crank lever 59 and cam 83 on the main shaft 82. An adjustable stop 94 regulates the feed. The rollers 61 have flats as shown or are eccentric, so that the roller feed is stopped during the finger feed. Mutilated spur-wheels are used to connect the main shaft and the shafts of the cam 75 and rollers 61, to provide further for pauses in the action of the rollers and cutter. The left-band pair of rollers may begin to act before the other pair, and the roller feed may be sufficient to feed forward the strip to the extent of several stamps at one operation. The roller feed may be replaced by other suitable feed mechanism. In a further modification, the feedway is vertical and that part of it which is opposite to the fingers moves up and down with them.

Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 22,081. Dahl, H., and Martin, M. Oct. 14,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Signals, indicator or visible.-In apparatus for signalling the attainment of certain speeds of machines, the motion of a continuously rotating transmission gear is transmitted to a signal-carrying disk by arresting the movement of one member of the transmission gear on the attainment of the desired speed. The toothed drum A on the axis a, Fig. 1, is continuously rotated, and is in gear with the toothed wheel B loosely mounted on the shaft b. Secured to the wheel B is a crownwheel C, a duplicate D of which is loosely mounted on the shaft b. The crown-wheels are connected by a planet-pinion F carried on a shaft f at'ached to a collar g loose on the shaft b. To the crownwheel D is attached a signal S. Normally, the pinion F revolves round the shaft b, the wheel D being stationary. When the desired speed is attained by the machine under observation, an electric circuit is automatically closed, thereby actuating the spring-controlled armature L, the end Z of which arrests the motion of the shaft f ; the pinion F then transmits its motion to the wheel D. When the signal S comes into view, it is stopped by the pin p, thus stopping all the wheels, which are frictionally mounted.
