Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 922. Kare, F. C. Jan. 13. Tampering with, detecting.-To detect tampering with the operating-shaft of a loose-leaf binder, a series of collars are provided bearing letters or other indicating-marks, some of which are exhibited through a sight-hole, the rings being arranged so that, if the binder shaft is rotated, a different series of letters is shown. In the form shown in Fig. 2, a collar G is secured to the operating-shaft D, and its sides engage frictionally the sides of loose collars E, H which rotate on ball bearings F. A friction cover is placed over the collars to prevent accidental rotation. Washers of metal, celluloid, &c., may be placed between the collars E, G, H, any number of collars may be used, and ball bearings may be dispensed with. In a modification, Figs. 8 and 10, the indicating-marks are provided on rings Q surrounding collars L, M, N, 0, which are formed with inclined pockets P containing balls, and are secured to the shaft D. The pockets on the collars L, N, face the reverse way to the pockets on the collars M, 0, so that two of the rings Q always rotate with the shaft D, but the other two are held by the friction cover.

Title: Improvements in ticket punches.
Inventor: ALFRED LEWIS
IPC: G07B11/05
Filed: 1910-12-20
Granted: 1911-12-20
Abstract: 29,588. Lewis, A., and Noorden, A. van. Dec. 20. Ticket punches. - In apparatus provided with means for punching the value of the fare paid, the punches 12, Figs. 4 and 7, are mounted in the guides 11 of dies 10 which are attached to a plate 32 carried by a revolving rim 7. The dies are positioned in recesses 9 in the rim 7, which is mounted on a pivot 3 carried by a bearing 2 formed on the base plate 1. Each die is provided with a head 14, slotted at 15, Fig. 7, to receive the tickets, and is perforated to rereceive the punching- needles. A ring 17 attached to the baseplate 1 is provided to engage with notches formed in the punches 12. The ring is formed with an opening 18 opposite to the nose 4 to allow the punches to pass through. The opening terminates in a recess 19 adapted to receive a slider 20 which is carried by a link 23 attached to a lug 22 of the slider, and the link is connected by a bar 25 with the operating-lever 26. The slider 20 carries a lateral projection 21 which engages in the notches formed in the punches 12 and serves to operate the punches. Operation in the absence of a ticket is prevented by a pivoted arm 24 of the slide-carrying link, which engages the ring 17 when no ticket is in the slot, whereas the resistance of a ticket to punching retards the movement of the slider and allows the arm to rotate and permit the passage of the slide through the opening in the ring 17. A spring 8 is provided to return the parts to their original positions. A series of counters 8 is provided to totalize the number of tickets punched, according to values, and a single counter 40 to register the value of all the tickets. The totalizing-counter is actuated by a cam surface, formed on the plate 32, and engaging an arm 34 of a bell-crank lever pivoted at 36 to the base plate. The other arm 34<a> bears a spring-controlled pawl 35 capable of engaging a rack 38<a> carried by a sector, which is also pivoted at 36, and bears teeth 38 adapted to drive the counter 40. The amount of movement of the sector is regulated by the movement of the pawl due to the cam and this limits the movement in a slot 44 of a pin 43 carried by a link 42 on the lever 26. The rotation of the ring 7 thus determines the movement of the totalizer. The individual ticket counters 8 are actuated by pawls 46 on the punches, a bell-hammer 50 is actuated by a projection 51 carried by the link 25, and a full-stroke pawl 30 is adapted to engage.with a rack 29 carried by the arm 26.
