Title: Improvements relating to Coin-controlled Mechanism.
Inventor: BULLARD HERBERT AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1910-07-26
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 17,736. Bullard, H. A. July 26. Testing coins.-The mechanism is adapted to test the contour of the surfaces and the thickness of the coins inserted in a coin-freed apparatus and to reject flat disks, washers; badlyworn coins, &c. by an electrically - controlled mechanism. The inserted coin comes to rest in the space 11 between two grippers 2, 3 carried by spring-controlled members 4, 5 sliding in a casing A. The grippers are provided with insulated contact points 24, 25 which are adjusted to engage a raised part of the surface of one side of the coin and to fail to engage a depression on the other side, as shown in Fig. 5. These contact points are connected at 27, 28 to the two equal and oppositely-wound coils 29, 30 of an electro-magnet, the two coils being connected together at 31 and thence through a battery 33 to the framework and grippers. If a genuine coin is inserted, the circuit of the electro-magnet is completed through one of the contacts 24, 25, whereupon the armature withdraws a stop 23 from the path of a projection 9 on the gripper 3, permitting a full backward movement of the grippers under the pressure of the operator's thumb on the member 4, so as to bring the coin into position over a shoot (not shown) leading to the operating-mechanism of the machine. The member 4 is returned by a spring 6 permitting the coin to pass into the machine, but the member 5 is retained by the engagement of a projection 9 with a notch 17 on a spring-controlled lever 18, until this lever is tripped by a projection 21 on the gripper 2. A dash-pot 36 controls the return of the member 4. A washer or worn coin does not. make contact with either of the contacts 24, 25, so that the grippers can only move back sufficiently to bring the coin over a return shoot 13 leading to the outside of the machine, the projection 9 engaging a second notch 20 in the lever 18. A disk, upraised on both sides, closes the circuit through both coils, but as they are oppositely wound, the electro-magnet is not energized.

Title: Ticket Printing Machines.
Inventor: MACKENZIE JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1910-09-27
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 22,405. Mackenzie, J. W., [Box Office Ticket Machine Co.]. Sept. 27. Cutting-apparatus, feeding webs.-A machine for printing tickets in box-offices &c. is operated by the depression of a hand-plate, which causes the cutting-off of a previously-printed ticket and the actuation of a platen printing-device; on the return movement of the hand-plate, rollers are operated to feed forward the strip. Two cutters are used, one of which is secured in a fixed adjustable position and the other which is V-shaped, is reciprocated in an adjustable guide, and the printing - plate and the cutters are readily changeable. The strip is fed from a loll 18, Fig. 5, mounted on a detachable pin fitted with rollers 15 guided in U-shaped guides 13 attached to a hollow casing 12 containing the operating-mechanism for the printing and cutting apparatus. The web moves over the base as it is drawn off. Before the paper has been printed it is cut off by a cutting-device actuated by a lever 49 which, on its downward stroke, operates a lever 57 which moves a V-shaped blade 42 in an adjustable guide 43 as shown in Fig. 8, and the blade 42 co-acts with a fixed cutter 40 adjustably secured in position. In operation, the outer edges of the blade 42 come into action before the centre. The member 43 is adjustable by means of screws and is fitted with a receptacle 46 into which the cut tickets fall. The lever 49 transmits motion to the lever 57 by means of an abutment 63, Fig. 9, on a spring-controlled bell-crank 62 pivoted to lugs on the lever 49, and after the cutting is completed, the bell-crank 62 is operated by a stop 64 to release the lever 57 and allow the knife 42 to move out of the way of the strip prior its feed. This feed is effected by a spring- pressed roller 76 and a lower corrugated roller 72, which is rotated as the lever 49 returns to normal position by a wheel 74 operated by a sector 75 on a link 68 operated from the lever 49, a clutch being provided to drive the roller 72 only in the direction in which it serves to advance the strip. The strip is guided by guides 38 which engage its edges, and is supported near the cutter 40 by a guide 41. The cutter may be operated by hand independently of the mechanism described above by means of a stud 79 projecting through a slot in the casing 12.
