Patent GB-190109521-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Voting Apparatus.
Inventor: MANDER JOHN HIORNS
Filed: 1901-05-07
Granted: 1902-08-07
Abstract: 9521. Mander, J. H. May 7. Voting-apparatus.-Fig. 4 shows a plan of the right-hand end of the apparatus, which comprises separate counters 39 for the different candidates, with push-keys 22. Fig. 7 shows in vertical section the means for preventing the operation of two counters at a time, and Fig. 13 a detail. Each key is connected through levers 88, 84 to stamps in a frame 76, which record on a card what keys are used, for scrutiny in case of dispute. The voter's entrance into the booth which contains the apparatus pulls a transverse draw-bar 32 out to the extent allowed by a pin or padlock in one of a set of holes x corresponding to the number of votes allowed. Being provided with teeth on its underside, the draw-bar turns a shaft 47, which through mitre gearing and the oneway gearing 59 (specially shown in Fig. 13) actuates a counter B to record the number of voters polling. Simultaneously, a bevelled leg upon the draw-bar shifts a locking-bar 25 to set the keys free, and a pin 110, Fig. 7, upon the locking- bar operates a lever 111 which raises a frame 115, 116 to bring a train of bolts 117 between the keys, so that only one can be operated at once. The locking-bar also operates a lever 77<a>, from which a link 77 extends to the frame 76 containing the stamps ; the frame is consequently shifted so as to nip the card against the wall of the casing. Another lever 73 operates the feed gear 71 of an inking-ribbon. The voter now pushes in the keys for the candidates he favours, and thereby operates the corresponding counters and the stamps, and also a totalizing-counter A'. The shaft 47, turned by the draw-bar, is turned also by the keys, but reversely, so as to re-set the draw-bar and connected mechanism. Either chain of bolts between the keys actuates a lever 121, which in turn makes a bell crank 122 shift a slide 124 to release the shafting. On the voter leaving the booth, a shelf 78 is pulled away by a cord 80, to let the stamped card drop into a receptacle, and the locking-slide is re-set.
