Abstract: 791. Macbeth, G., and Macbeth, M. Jan. 12, 1914. Cash registers; totalizing - counters. - The totalizer of a cash register is actuated from the movement of the differential members through clutches operated by the operating- lever before and after the effective stroke of the differential members. The differential member moves vertically at right-angles to two banks of keys, which are arranged at each side of the operating-lever. Pinions 49, 50, in gear with racks carried by the differential member, are loose upon their shafts 68, 69 and carry toothed clutch members 53. The totalizerwheels 51, 52 have clutch teeth 56, 54 for en. gagement with the pinions 49, 50 or with normally fixed teeth 55; these wheels 52 are carried on shafts 69 which are alternately moved axially in opposite directions by means of pivoted plates 64, the lower ends of which are engaged by a rod 63. A rod 57 connected to the operating-lever is connected to a rocking plate 60, which urges the rod 63 through a spring-stressing sleeve 62 and has internal flanges 74 engaging a member 67 pivoted to the plates 64. The plates 64 therefore cannot move until freed from the flanges 74, and the stressing of the spring causes the clutches to snap over. Transfer mechanism. - To transfer from the pence-wheel 51 to the shillings-wheel 52, a pin 76 on the former trips a catch 78, which releases a spring-pressed flange 79 on the normally fixed upper toothed member 55, allowing it to engage a flange 80 on an arm 81. This arm is operated through a rod 85 and pivoted trip 84 on the downward movement of the arm 58, thus returning the parts to normal position and advancing the pounds-wheel one step.
