Patent GB-189704188-A (GB)
Title: Autographic Register.
Inventor: ALLISON CHARLES ARTHUR
Filed: 1897-02-16
Granted: 1897-04-03
Abstract: 4188. Allison, C. A., [Egry Autographic Register Co.]. Feb. 16. Autographic registers. -The casing 1 of the apparatus has a door 2, hinged lid 3 with aperture 12 to allow of writing on the pivoted table 13, and sliding glass plate 5. By these arrangements access may be readily had to the interior for placing the paper rolls 6, 6, 6 in position ; supporting- spindles 56 are then slid through the side of the case and through the rolls and lodged in open bearings 55 with springs 57. The paper strips are carried over the table 13 and between the feedrollers 7, 8, two of them being brought out over the glass plate 5, while the other is l o o p e d round a "folding" rod 34 and the end attached to a pair of stabbing or filing spikes 16. While placing the strips in position, the upper spring roller 8 is raised by lifting the wedge-ended lever 25. This can only be done when the door 2 is open. The spikes 16 are fitted to the door by sockets and springs, so that they can readily be removed, but a second pair 21 are fixtures. In a separate side box (not shown) is a roll of two carbon strips which are passed between the paper strips, and then secured at the ends by pins passing into sockets when the lid 3 is closed. When a bill has been written on the table 13, an external handle is rotated and with it the feed-roller 7, delivering a bill and duplicate over the plate 5. A shaft 10 is geared with the roller 7 and upon it are mounted specially-shaped cams 31, 37, 46, which act in conjunction with springs to effect the folding and filing of the triplicate strip. The lever 33, which carries the folding rod 34 at one end, is guided at that end to move vertically, pulling down the loop of paper till it is beneath the spikes 21, where the fold is seized by spring nippers 42, 43, the latter operated by a lever 44 from the cam 46. After the return of the folding bar 34 the bar 29, carrying the filing-plate 28, which is drawn back in guides 30 by the action of the flanged cam 31 on the pin 32, is suddenly released and, by the spring 41 and lever 40, is thrown forward to stab the paper upon the spikes. When desired, the door 2 may be opened, the spikes 16 removed from the sockets, and the folded strip pulled off the spikes 21. The record is then in book-form bound by the spikes 16.
