Abstract: 25,394. Janik, E. Nov. 19. Receipts, checking and recording.-Change is delivered from each of a number of receptacles 2 on to a platform 26 by an ejector 3 having a forked end 27 engaged by a tappet 28 on the arm of a pushrod 30 toothed to engage a sector 86 on a shaft 12. This shaft carries a sector 13 engaging a sector 14 on a shaft 15 operated by an external handle 16. The number of coins ejected from a receptacle is adjusted by a lever 4 pivoted at 5 and pressed by a spring- pressed roller 6 against a projection on a lever 8 pivoted at 9. The ejector 3 slides on the lever 4, which has a front projection engaging a recess in a slide 144 by which the discharge aperture is adjusted. The levers 8 are normally held raised by tappets 11 on the shaft 12, and have bent noses 10 adapted to drop on to stepped discs 32 riding loosely on a shaft 33. Each disc carries oppositely-toothed ratchet-wheels 35 operated by spring-supported toothed sectors 36, 37 pivoted to spring-returned key-levers 44, 93. The levers 44 are operated by amounts corresponding to the money paid by a customer, while the levers 93 are operated by amounts corresponding to the money paid less the amount of change to be delivered. The levers 44, 93 carry pivoted keys 46, 95, the motion of which is limited by pins 49, the motion of the levers being arrested by the operated keys coming in contact with a fixed stop 50. Each stepped disc is held in position, during the return of the operating-sectors, by a brake roll on an arm 63 on a shaft 64 carrying a spring-operated arm 65 with a roll 67, which is operated by a cam 68 to release the brake roll and allow the disc to be returned to its normal position by a spring 51 and a cord 52. Tens are transmitted from one stepped disc to the next by a single-toothed wheel 71 acting on the arm 72 of a double swinging lever, the other arm 70 of which operates a ten-toothed wheel 69. A tooth 81 on this lever comes into engagement with a pawl 82 on a shaft 83 carrying a releasing arm 91, which is operated to release the pawl by a catch 92 on the toothed sector 14, and the lever is returned by the action of a spring- operated sector 75 on a sector 74. The platform or plate 26 is raised, to discharge the change at an outlet 26', by cords 23 attached to the platform and casing and passing over fixed pulleys 25 and movable pulleys 22 on arms 21, which are carried by a shaft 20 having an operating arm 19 arranged in the path of a tappet 87 engaging a slot 18 and carried by an extension 17 of the lever 16. To the key-levers 93 are pivoted spring-pressed toothed sectors 97, engaging ratchet-wheels 99 carried by concentric shafts carrying type-wheels 104, which may be used to print on a strip of paper, a ticket, or the like, and are connected by chain or other gearing to indicating-wheels 109, which are viewed at an opening 113 by the purchaser. Backward motion of these wheels is prevented by ratchet-wheels and pawls 116, pivoted at 127 and connected as shown to the key-levers 44, by which the pawls are released to allow the discs 109 to be returned to zero by springs 115 and cords 114. Adding-discs 132, connected by suitable carrying. mechanism, are operated by ratchetwheels 134 and spring-pressed racks, connected by links 136 to the key-levers 93.
