Title: Improvements in Setting Mechanism for Calculating Machines.
Inventor: TRINKS FRANZ
Filed: 1912-12-17
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 29,020. Trinks, F. April 6, [Convention date]. Multiplying and dividing apparatus.-Multiplying and like machines having two groups of setting and actuating mechanism and a single counter associated therewith, are arranged so that the setting of a multiplicand upon one group automatically sets the same multiplicand or its complement upon the other group; the connexion between the two groups of setting- mechanism comprises a pivoted or fixed frame carrying a series of shafts, each provided with a pair of toothed wheels engaging corresponding relatively - movable setting - members of each group. The invention is described in connexion with calculating-machines of the pin-wheel and cam-disk type. The cam-disks d are provided with teeth, and the corresponding disks of each group engage respectively with toothed wheels f, g connected together by a shaft e. Several such shafts are provided, and are mounted on a pivoted frame b, so that all the wheels f, g can together be rocked out of engagement with the toothed cam-disks. The relative movement of a cam-disk of one group to set up a digit and project the corresponding number of actuating pins or teeth turns the connected cam-disk of the other group to a similar extent. After the required multiplicand has been set on the apparatus, the frame b is thrown rearwards by the handle c, and the wheels f, g are disengaged. If the connexion between the wheels f, g be such as to cause these wheels to rotate in opposite directions, the complement of the multiplicand will be set on one group; by the provision of a reversing-gear, either the given multiplicand or its complement may be set on the second group.
