Title: Improvements in Calculating Machines.
Inventor: TRINKS FRANZ
Filed: 1908-10-22
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 22,435. Trinks, r. Oct. 25, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Calculating-apparatus.-In multiplying-machines of the pin-wheel and cam-ring type more especially as described in Specification No. 27,481, A.D. 1907, wherein two second-factor indicating mechanisms are employed, one of which serves for addition and the other for subtraction and for the so-called simplified operations and has its figures upon the disks in reverse order to those of the ordinary mechanism, the zeroes being displaced relatively to each other by the extent of one division, inconvenience is caused by the fact that, when the apertured slide for the two mechanisms is pushed to the subtraction position, a row of nines is disclosed, and to change this to zero an idle operation of the main handle is necessary or also the operation of a zeroizing device upon the indicating- mechanism, and in the former case the addition indicator is falsified. According to the present invention, the laterally moving member carrying the ordinary tooth for actuating the second-factor indicator is provided with a second tooth which comes into operation once only after each setting of the slide for subtraction. The driving-member c which is moved along the shaft l by an endless chain connected to the totalizing-counter m, and is rotated together with the shaft by the main handle b, carries not only the ordinary tooth a but an additional tooth e, which normally passes the teeth d<1> but is rendered operative by an abutment e<2> being pressed by a push-button o into the path of the projecting part e<1> of the said tooth. The tooth e, when operating, moves the counting- wheels d to the zero and then the tooth a acts in the usual manner. The button o is kept in the depressed position, until the tooth e has acted, by means of a bar p which springs into a notch in the stem of the push-button, and is retracted by means of a cam q which releases the button o and throws the tooth e out of operation. A rod r connects the push-button to the slide f, so that, when the tooth e is operating, the slide f exposes the subtracting series. Simplified subtraction is performed by the apparatus if the tooth e be made on a separate wheel and adapted always to engage the units counting-wheel. Instead of the swinging tooth as described, a radially projecting tooth may be set for operating, by turning a cam-disk arranged on the tooth-wheel and held fast towards the end of the crank revolution to retract the tooth.
