Improvements in Combined Machines for Registering, Indicating,
and Printing Receipts for Cash Received, and for Delivering and
Registering Change.
I DAVID SALOMON of 20 St. Andrew's Street, in the City and County of
Northampton, Boot Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to combined machines for printing receipts for cash
received for simultaneously recording the amount of such receipt for registering
the total amount for which receipts have been printed since the last inspection, and
for delivering and registering the delivery of coins in change when such is
required. The invention relates more specifically to the combination of the money
delivering and registering machine described in the Specification of my Patent
Application No. 22630 of 1891 with the machine for registering money and
printing receipts therefor, described in the Specification of my Patent Application
No. 4279 of 1892 with, in addition, means for adding together the various amounts as
and when they are recorded by the machine, means for exposing the coins received
until the next payment is recorded, means for keeping the receipt papers always at
the proper height for receiving the type impressions and for releasing the papers
so that the uppermost may be removed, means for locking and unlocking the money
delivering and registering apparatus, and for locking and unlocking the papers on
which the receipts are printed, and means for discharging the change coins from
the machine.
When combining the two machines described in the Specifications of my two
above cited Patent Applications I arrange the money delivering or change giving
apparatus in rear of the receipt printing apparatus, and provide each of its bell
crank key levers with a hook on the lower arm with all of which hooks, a pivotted
locking bar is caused normally to engage by means of a suitable spring or springs.
This locking bar is disengaged by a trigger or cam piece acted upon by a hand
lever, the end or handle of which is outside the lock up case. The receipt paper
holder is made in the form of a box without top and front and is furnished with an
inwardly projecting horizontal flange along its three upper edges and with a
spring actuated moveable bottom. The receipt papers are thus normally gripped
between the moveable bottom and the flange around the upper edges of the holder
and are held securely in position during the printing of the respective amounts
thereon by the types. The aforementioned hand lever is furnished with a pawl
which engages a toothed rack on a bar connected by links to the spring controlled
bottom of the receipt paper holder, so that the said spring bottom is lowered when
the hand lever is pulled over whereby a receipt paper may be taken out of the
holder.
In the path of the aforesaid hand lever is a crank piece which is linked to pivotted
flaps or trap doors in the shoots or passages through which the various coins pass,
and the pulling over of the band lever opens the lowermost flap or trap door,
allowing the coin or coins to fall through into the receptacles beneath, while the
return movement of the hand lever opens the topmost flap or trap door and allows
the coin or coins to fall into a glazed chamber enclosed between the two flaps or
trap doors.
The coins when discharged from their respective receptacles by the coin
delivering apparatus, pass into a common tube arranged horizontally across the
back of the machine, and connected by links or other mechanism to the hand
lever aforementioned. When all the coins required to make up the desired

page_text: change have been forced by the ejector plates into the said tube, the latter is tilted
by means of the aforesaid hand lever. By this tilting, the coins in the tube are
caused to slide towards one end which is open, so that the coins will fall into a
bowl or on to the counter outside the machine.
For adding together the various amounts as and when they are recorded by the
receipt levers, the following arrangement of mechanism is used. At the rear of
and above the receipt levers are arranged a number of pivotted quadrant pieces,
one for each lever, or one for all the levers representing pence, another for shillings,
and a third for the pounds, and so on according to the various denominations of
the coins for which the machine is adapted. Each pivotted quadrant gears with
a toothed wheel and is actuated by a link or other connection from the respective
key levers so that the depression of the latter will cause the quadrant to rotate
the toothed wheel through a distance corresponding to the value marked on the
key lever. Instead of the pivotted quadrant, the rotation of the said toothed
wheels may be effected by ratchet motion direct on to the periphery of the wheels
by the use of compound levers or by other equivalent means. A train or trains
of wheels and suitable indicating mechanism are used for recording the distances
through which the toothed wheels have been caused to rotate and hence the
amount of cash, for which receipts have been printed since the last inspection.

Improvements in Combined Machines for Registering, Indicating,
and Printing Receipts for Cash Received, and for Delivering and
Registering Change.
I DAVID SALOMON of 20 St. Andrew's Street, in the City and County of
Northampton, Boot Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to combined machines for printing receipts for cash received,
for simultaneously recording the amount of such receipt, for registering the total
amount for which receipts have been printed since the last inspection, and for
delivering and registering the delivery of coins, in change when such is required.
The invention relates more specifically to the combination of the money
delivery and registering machine described in the Specification of my Patent
Application No. 22630 of 1891 with the machine for registering money and
printing receipts therefor, described in the Specification of my Patent Application
No. 4279 of 1892. With, in addition, means for adding together the various
amounts as and when they are recorded by the machine, means for exposing the
coins received until the next payment is recorded, means for keeping the receipt
papers always at the proper height for receiving the type impressions and for
releasing the papers so that the uppermost may be removed, means for locking
and unlocking the money delivering and registering apparatus, and for locking
and unlocking the papers on which the receipts are printed, and means for
discharging the change coins from the machine.
When combining the two machines described in the Specifications of my two
above cited Patent Applications I arrange the money delivering or change giving
apparatus in rear of the receipt printing apparatus, and provide each of its bell
crank key levers with a hook on the lower arm with all of which hooks, a pivotted
locking bar is caused normally to engage by means of a suitable spring or springs.
This locking bar is disengaged by the depression of the key levers and is returned
to the normal position by a hand lever, the end or handle of which is outside the
lock up case.

page_text: The receipt paper holder is made in the form of a box without top and front and is
furnished with an inwardly projecting horizontal flange along its three upper edges
and with a spring actuated moveable bottom. The receipt papers are thus normally
gripped between the moveable bottom and the flange around the upper edges of the
holder and are held securely in position during the printing of the respective
amounts thereon by the types. The aforementioned hand lever is furnished with a
pawl which engages a toothed rack on a bar connected by links to the spring
controlled bottom of the receipt paper holder so that the said spring bottom is lowered
when the hand lever is pulled over whereby a receipt paper may be taken out of the
holder. In the path of the aforesaid hand lever is a crank piece which is linked to
pivotted flaps or trap doors in the shoots or passages through which the various
coins pass, and the pulling over of the hand lever opens the lowermost flap or trap
door, allowing the coin or coins to fall through into the receptacles beneath, while
the return movement of the hand lever opens the topmost flap or trap door and
allows the coin or coins to fall into a glazed chamber enclosed between the two flaps
or trap doors.
The coins when discharged from their respective receptacles by the coin
delivering apparatus, pass into a common tube arranged horizontally across the back
of the machine, and connected by links or other mechanism to the hand lever afore-
mentioned. When all the coins required to make up the desired change have been
forced by the ejector plates into the said tube, the latter is tilted by means of the
aforesaid hand lever. By this tilting the coins in the tube are caused to slide
towards one end which is open, so that the coins will fall into a bowl or on to the
counter outside the machine.
For adding together the various amounts as and when they are recorded by the
receipt levers, the following arrangement of mechanism is used. At the rear of
and above the receipt levers, are arranged a number of pivotted quadrant pieces or
toothed sectors, one for each lever, or one for all the levers representing pence,
another for shillings, and a third for the pounds, and so on, according to the various
denominations of the coins for which the machine is adapted. Each pivotted
quadrant or toothed sector gears with a toothed wheel and is actuated by a link or
other connection from the respective key lever so that the depression of the latter
will cause the quadrant or sector to rotate the toothed wheel through a distance
corresponding to the value marked on the key lever.
In order that my invention may be fully understood and carried into practice, I
will now describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the
same letters are used to indicate the same or corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a front elevation, Figure 2 is a plan, and Figures 3 and 4 are end
elevations of the complete machine, the outer case being removed.
Figures 5 & 6 are elevations of the hand lever A shewing the connections for
operating the trap doors in the coin shoots.
Figure 7 is an elevation of one of the receipt registering levers shewing the
receipt paper holder in cross section.
Figure 8 is a rear elevation of the tilting coin tube.
Figure 9 is a detail view of Figure 4 and
Figures 10 to 17 shew details of the mechanism for adding together the various
amounts recorded by the receipt levers.
In the drawings the money delivering key levers are marked K and the receipt
registering key levers are marked O. On the lower arm of each delivering lever K
is formed or secured a hook J in the path of a locking bar H, which extends
across the front of all the delivering levers K, its ends being turned over at right
angles formed into bell cranks and pivotted to the side plates of the machine at H'
(see Figures 3 & 4). H2 is a spring which keeps the locking bar H normally in
engagement with the hooks J but the spring may be dispensed with and the same
result effected by counterweighting the bar H. The disengagement of the locking
bar H from the hooks J is effected by the depression of the slotted link M which

page_text: is on the right hand side of the machine (see Figure 3) and which is pressed down,
when any one of the registering levers O is depressed, in the manner described in
my Specification No. 4279 of 1892.
"On the hinder part of the link M is formed a heel M³ which engages with the
projection or turned in end H³ of the bell crank lever so that as the link M goes
down it pushes down the end H³ of the bell crank thereby turning it on its
pivot H¹ and raising the locking bar H out of engagement with the hooks J. The
locking bar is kept in this position by means of the catch piece F pivotted on the
opposite end of the machine, i.e. -on the left hand side (see Figure 4). The said
catch piece F is pivotted at F2 and is furnished with a projection or notch G and
with a cam shaped nose F1 and is normally kept horizontal or approximately so by
means of a light spring F³. When the locking bar H is raised by the depression
of the link M as hereinbefore described the lower end H4 of the bell crank shewn
in Figure 4 travels downwards until it passes the notch G, which is squared so as to
prevent its return, the locking bar H will then remain in this its disengaged
position; this position is shewn in the detail view Figure 9. To return the locking
bar H to its norinal position, it will be necessary to lower the catch piece F until
the notch G is below the lowermost part of the end H' of the bell crank. When
the hand lever A is pulled over in the direction of the arrow shewn in Figure 4,
a pin E, on the said hand lever, which abuts against the cam shaped nose F¹ of
the catch F, presses the same downwards, thus freeing the notch G from the
bell crank the locking bar H then returns, by the action of its spring or
counterweight, to its normal position.
From the foregoing description it will be understood (1) that the delivering
levers K are normally locked and cannot be operated; (2) that they are unlocked
after one of the receipt levers O has been depressed and a receipt printed and
the amount recorded in the interior of the machine; (3) that they are retained
in this unlocked position by the notch G on the catch F engaging the end H¹ of
the bell crank lever as shewn in Figure 9; (4) that when unlocked, change can
be delivered by the delivering mechanism; and (5) that the delivering levers K
are locked by the pulling over of the hand lever A. The mechanism is so
arranged that the pulling over of the hand lever A is necessary to release the
printed receipt from its containing box, to deliver the change from the machine and
to open the lowermost flaps in the coin shoots, all of which operations will be fully
explained hereinafter.
will now describe the receipt paper holder V and the means adapted for keeping
the top paper always at the proper height for receiving the impression of the
types U, and for releasing the papers so that the uppermost one may be removed,
after the amount received is printed thereon, and be given to the person paying the
money. The holder V which extends across the front of the machine in the patlı
of all the types U is made in the form of a box without top and front, preferably
of a rectangular shape, and is furnished with a flange V4 extending all around its
three upper edges (see Figures 1, 2 and 7). V2 is a moveable bottom secured on
each side to vertical rods V³ which work in guides V in the sides of the holder V.
On the bottom of each rod V³ is a pin V' which is engaged by a slot in the end 72
of a lever Z pivotted at 23 (see Figure 3). Z is a spring one end of which is
secured to the base plate of the machine and the other end to the extremity Z³ of
the lever Z and tending to raise the end 72 of the lever Z and thereby to raise the
moveable bottom V2 in the holder V. The receipt papers are thus normally
gripped between the bottom V2 and the flange V4 around the upper edge of the
holder V and are held securely in position during the printing of the respective
amounts thereon by the types U.
After the receipt is printed the bottom V2 is lowered by the pulling over of the
hand lever A which is pivotted at A³ (see Figure 4). On its lower end the hand
lever A carries a pawl A' which, when the hand lever is pulled over in the direction
of the arrow shewn, rides over a shield A³, secured on the underside of the machine,

page_text: and at the latter part of its travel gears with a rack A4 on a bar A³ sliding
horizontally in guides A. The bar A5 is connected by a link Z to a rigid arm Z
on the lever Z and when the bar A', is pushed backwards by the pawl A¹ the
link Z straightens into a vertical position thereby pushing down the arm Z and
with it the lever Z which latter is turnel on its pivot Z3 against the pressure of the
spring Z and the nose travels in a circular path around the pivot Z³. The pin V₁
rides in the slotted end of said nose Zand, by reason of the rods V³ and guides V,
the bottom V of the paper holder is lowered in a position always parallel to itself.
When the hand lever A is returned to its normal position, the pawl A' is disengaged
from the rack A on the bar A³, and the spring Z₁then comes into action and raises
the bottom V2 until the topmost paper in the holder V is gripped close against the
underside of the flange V₁ ready for the next printing or marking.
The manner in which the trap doors in the coin shoots are operated by the hand
lever A will now be described, reference being made to Figures 1 to 6. On
referring to Figures 1 and 2 it will be seen that the coin shoots B correspond in
number with the change levers K, ten of which are shewn. I prefer to arrange
the coin shoots in this manuer and to cause each shoot to deliver the coins direct
into the corresponding receptacle in the cash box m³ (shewn in Figures 3 and 4) in
which are stored the coins to be delivered as change. These receptacles are
constructed in the manner described in my Specification No. 22630 of 1891, except
that the weights and the mechanism for indicating the number of coins in the
receptacles are dispensed with. But if so required the coin shoots B may discharge
direct into one or more drawers or tills and independent of the cash box m³, in
which case the latter could be supplied with the weights and indicating mechanism
described in my said Specification No. 22630 of 1891. Both the trap doors or
flaps c and d, extend across the whole of the coin shoots or passages and are
pivotted to the sides B' at e¹ and d¹ respectively. The upper trap door or flap c
and its connections is shewn detached in Figure 5, the lower trap door or flap d
with its connections being shewn in Figure 6. In Figures 5 and 6 the coin shoots
are shewn in section. When the hand lever A is pulled over in the direction of
the arrow shewn in Figure 4, the lower trap door or flap d is lowered, allowing the
coins to fall from the glazed chamber into the receptacles or tills beneath. When
the hand lever is released, a spring thereon, which to avoid complication, is not
shewn in the drawings, returns it to its initial position; in its return movement the
hand lever opens the upper flap or trap door c so that the coins just placed in the
mouths of the shoots B fall into the glazed chamber between the trap doors or
flaps c and d.
Referring to Figures 4 and 6; on the left hand side of the machine, i.e. :-on
the same side as the hand lever A, the trap door or flap d is furnished with a
downwardly projecting arm d² which is rigidly affixed to the trap door d and is
preferably radial to the pivot d' on which said trap door d turns. The arm 2 is
coupled by the connecting rod d³ to the bent lever do pivotted at d and connected
by the link d to the crank lever C pivotted at C'. Both the levers d³ and Care
pivotted to a fixed part of the machine. The free end of the crank lever C carries
a pin D which lies in the path of the hand lever A. When the latter is pulled
over it pushes against the pin D, turning the crank lever on its pivot and through
the medium of the connections just described lowers the trap door d until it is
fully open; this is the position shewn in Figure 6. C2 is a spring on the
crank lever C which returns the parts to their initial position after the hand lever A
has been released.
Referring now to Figures 4 & 5; the free end of the trap door or flap c is
coupled by the connecting rod c² to the lever a pivotted at c and connected by the
link to another lever c which is pivotted at c. Both the levers and care
pivotted to a fixed part of the machine. c is a spring on the end of the lever cª
tending to keep the parts in the position shewn in Figure 4, and c is a piece jointed
to the upper end of the lever so as to turn over in one direction only, and
lying in the path of a pin A' on the hand lever A. On referring to Figure 4 it

page_text: will be seen that when the parts are in their normal position the pin A is on the
left hand side of the jointed piece c. When the hand lever A is pulled over, the
pin A presses against the edge of the jointed piece and turns it upward out of
the way and passes under it; when the pin A is clear of the jointed piece c, the
latter by its own weight falls back again to its initial position. In the return
movement of the hand lever A, however, the pin A' abuts against the outer face
of the jointed piece cand carries it backward and with it the lever c which is
thereby turned upward until the pin A is below the bottom of the jointed piece c
when the latter is free and the spring c8 comes into action and brings the lever c
and its connections back to the initial position. Figure 5 shews the lever A just
before the end of its return movement, when the lever e is in its highest position
and the trap door or flap c is fully opened. It will be seen that continued motion
of the hand lever A towards the left will cause the pin A7 to pass under the lower
edge of the piece when the spring c8 will return the parts to the initial position,
which is shewn in Figure 4. The connections of the trap doors or flaps c and d are
so arranged that on the return of the hand lever A. the lower flap d is closed before
the connections of the upper flap c are operated.
Passing now to the means whereby the coins, to be delivered to the purchaser as
change, are caused to fall outside the machine. As they are discharged from the
receptacles in the cash box m³ by the ejector plates connected to the delivering
levers K in the manner described in my aforementioned Specification No. 22630
of 1891, the coins fall into a common tube T (see Figures 4 & 8) arranged
horizontally across the machine in rear of the ejecting mechanism and provided
with an aperture in the path of the said ejector plates through which said aperture
the coins can pass into the interior of the tube. The lower end of the hand
lever A is connected by the rod T¹ to a radial arm T2 turning on a centre at T³
and carrying a concentric bevel wheel T which gears with the bevel wheel T.
The latter carries a crank pin T coupled by the connecting rod T' to a
projection T on the bottom of the coin tube T. The coin tube is pivotted at T
to the fixed frame T just to one side of the projection To so that a short pull of
the connecting rod T' will tilt the tube to a considerable extent. When the hand
lever A is pulled over, the bevel wheels T and T' are rotated in the direction of
the arrows shewn beside them in Figures 4 and 8 respectively, and the crank pin,
connecting rod and tube assume the positions shewn in dotted lines in Figure 8;
the coins then gravitate down the tube and pass through an aperture opposite
said tube in the side of the lock up case into a bowl or on to the counter outside
the machine.
I will now describe the arrangement of mechanism used for adding together the
various amounts as and when they are recorded by the receipt registering levers O.
This adding mechanism is shewn in position in Figures 1 and 2 and the details
are shewn detached in Figures 10 to 17. On each receipt registering lever O is
pivotted a rode working vertically in suitable guides f and carrying a rigid arm h
which is provided with an adjusting screw i (see Figures 10 & 11). On each rod e
is pivotted one end of a tappet lever j which works as a collar on a fixed shaft k
extending across the machine in rear of the rods e. In the drawings the adding
mechanism is shewn for the pence levers only and with one quadrant piece or
toothed sector for all the levers representing pence; the arrangement would be
the same for all the shillings levers, except that there would be nineteen tappet
levers in the series instead of eleven. n is a moveable table which overlaps all the
tappet levers in the series and is attached at its ends to the fixed shaft k so as to
ride loosely thereover. One end of said table n carries a pin p which engages in a
slot o in the quadrant piece or sector which latter also is loose on the shaft k and
is slotted at so as to slide radially on said shaft k. Figure 10 is an elevation of
one of the receipt registering levers O in its normal condition shewing the con-
nections for adding the amounts registered, and the toothed quadrant or sector
and the means for bringing it into gear with the pinion 9 on the arbor of the pence
wheel; Figure 11 is an elevation of one of the rods e shewing the tappet

page_text: "
lever and the table n, the parts being in their normal position; and Figures 12
and 13 are views similar to Figures 10 and 11 respectively and shew the position
of the parts when the receipt lever O is depressed. Figure 14 is a rear elevation
of the quadrant or sector 7 shewing the tappet levers j, the table n and the means
for regulating the travel of the table n, and hence of the quadrant or sector also.
Passing through the table n and in the path of the successive tappet levers jare
screws s which are adjusted to different heights according to the key levers with
which the tappets are connected, or the adjustable screws may be dispensed with
and stops of varying lengths fixed on the underside of the table n in lieu thereof.
When any of the pence registering levers is depressed its tappet lever j will be
raised until it abuts against the lower end of the screw or stop s when it will lift
the table.n through the remainder of its travel. It will be seen therefore that the
travel of the table n will depend upon the length of the screw or stop s which is
on its underside and in the path of the tappet lever operated by the depression of
the registering lever. For the elevenpence registering lever the screw or stop s is
long enough to touch the tappet lever when the parts are normal, this is the
position in Figure 11, so that directly the end of the elevenpence tappet lever is
raised, the table will commence to rise and by reason of the pin p and slot o will
carry up the toothed quadrant or sector with it. The teeth on the quadrant or
sector and pinion 7 are so arranged that the latter will perform of a
revolution every time the elevenpence registering lever is depressed. On the one
penny registering lever the screw or stop s is made so short, that, for 1 of its
travel, its tappet lever will be inoperative on the table n, but, after passing
upwards through this portion of its travel, the tappet lever will abut against the
bottom of the screw or stop s which is fixed on its rod e and will carry the stop,
table and quadrant or sector / through the remainder of its travel, i.e.--
The pinion will therefore be rotated through of a revolution.
The stops or screws s for the intermediate tappet levers are arranged in steps to
produce results intermediate with those given above for the two extreme positions
of the quadrant or sector. As the rod e is brought down by the depression of the
registering lever the rigid arm is also brought down until the adjusting screw i
thereon meets the table n as it travels upwards by the action of the tappet lever j.
The screws i are adjusted so as to act as stops to the table and prevent its further
upward travel after the quadrant or sector has rotated the pinion 9 through the
distance corresponding to the registering lever which has been depressed. Stops
may be fixed on the arm in substitution for the adjustable screws i. These
screws or stops i are arranged inversely to the order of the screws or stops s on the
table n, that is to say, the shortest of the stops or screws i is on the arm h
connected to the elevenpence registering lever and the longest is connected to the
penny registering lever.
The quadrant or sector is normally out of gear with the pinion y and is brought
up to gear therewith in the following manner. Beneath the registering levers O is
a rod t fixed at its end or ends to a catch 'pivotted at t² to the frame of the
machine on to which is also secured one end of a spring t3 which is connected to the
catch and tends to keep it in the position shewn in Figure 10. The nose of said
catch t normally engages in a notch t* in a swinging bar to centred at to. A similar
swinging bar is located in a corresponding position at the other end of the machine,
and the two are connected together by a transverse bar t which carries a concave
block 8 in rear of each quadrant or sector on the shaft k. When the registering
lever is depressed the pressure on the rod t turns the catch t on its pivot t²
causing the nose of said catch to leave the notch and to press against the
swinging bar below the notch. In this position, which is shown in Figure 12,
the transverse bar is pressed backward until the concave blocks t thereon press
against the convex ends of the quadrants or sectors which latter are forced
backwards over the shaft k as far as the slots 2 therein will allow, in this position
they are in gear with their respective pinions. When the pressure is released from
the registering levers, the spring t³ comes into operation and raises the catch t' until

page_text: it again engages in the notch t* when the frictional pressure of the blocks to being
removed from the convex ends of the quadrants or sectors, the latter, if they have
been raised, will fall freely, partly under the action of gravity and partly under the
action of a slight spring to clear of the respective pinions, which will not, therefore,
be reversely rotated by the said quadrants or sectors. It will be understood by an
inspection of Figures 10 to 14 of the drawings that this method of bringing the
quadrant or sector into gear with the pinion will be simultaneous with the turning
of the tappet lever so that the quadrant or sector is brought into gear and raised at
one operation.

After the pence wheel has made one complete revolution it is requisite that the
shillings wheel u should be rotated through 26 of a revolution. It is also necessary
that this carrying forward from the pence to the shillings wheels should be effected
independently of the rotation of the shillings wheel by the depression of any of the
shillings registering levers. Otherwise, if two impulses were simultaneously
impressed upon the shillings wheel, each tending to turn it through of a
revolution, the net result would be that it would only turn through of a
revolution, instead of through as would be the case if the impulses were
separately impressed. The manner in which this part of my invention is carried
out is shewn in Figures 15 to 17. Figure 15 is a front elevation of the pence and
shillings indicating wheels; and Figures 16 and 17 are side elevations of the pence
and shillings wheels respectively, looking in the direction of the arrow shewn in
Figure 15. The pence wheel carries a pin which, at every revolution of the
wheel r, knocks over a radial arm which lies in its path. The said radial arm v
is rigid on a sleeve v on the parallel spindle 2 said sleeve having rigid thereon a
second radial arm on the end of which is a driving pawl v gearing with a twenty
toothed ratchet wheel ¹ fixed to the shillings wheel u. vis a spring on one of the
radial arms or on the sleeve v tending to keep the sleeve in such a position that
the radial arm v points toward the centre of the pence wheel . is a pin on the
radial arm r, and is a catch lever pivotted to a fixed part of the machine, and
having a spring which keeps the nose of the catch lever 7 down and in the path
of the pin with which it engages when the arm is turned over into the position
shewn by the full lines in Figure 16. When the wheel r is completing a revolution
the pin thereon bears against the radial arm and turns it over until it is
tangential to the circle through which the pin travels. Just before the arm v
reaches this position the pin 6 thereon knocks up the end of the catch lever and
engages in the notch in the underside thereof, whereby the arm v is held in this
inoperative position and the wheel goes on to complete the partial revolution
which it has received through the medium of the pinion 7 and quadrant or sector 1.
When the quadrant or sector falls however, a pin thereon knocks the catch
lever turning it on its pivot and releasing the pin ; the spring then
comes into operation and the sleeve v¹ and radial arms v and turn to their initial
position and the pawl on the latter drives the ratchet wheel through the
distance of one tooth whereby the shillings wheel u is rotated through of a
revolution. It will be seen that at every complete revolution of the pence wheel r
an impulse is transmitted to the shillings wheel u through the medium of the
sleeve and its connections, and that such impulse is impressed on the shillings
wheel during the downward movement of the quadrant or sector.
If therefore one
of the shillings key levers is depressed simultaneously with one of the pence levers
and the latter causes the pence wheel to complete a revolution, the two impulses
will be separately impressed on the shillings wheel; the first, direct from the
shillings key lever, operates while the quadrants or sectors are being raised, and
the second operates while the quadrants or sectors are being lowered. The same
arrangement of mechanism is used for carrying forward the revolutions of the
shillings indicating wheel to the pounds indicating wheel, and for wheels of other
denominations according to the value of the coins for which the machine is
adapted.
The whole of the mechanism is enclosed within an outer lock up case through

page_text: which project the coin delivering levers K, the recipt registering levers O, the pull
over handle A and the top of the receipt papers in the box V. A glazed aperture
is provided through which the coins in the chamber b can be seen, and the

2. The combination, with a machine for registering money received and for
simultaneously printing a receipt for same, of means for holding the separate
receipt papers securely in position during the printing of the respective amounts
thereon by the types or dies, consisting of a holder without a top, having flanges
around three of its upper edges and a spring actuated false bottom substantially
as hereinbefore set forth and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
3. In a machine for registering money received and for simultaneously printing
a receipt for same on the uppermost of a number of receipt papers contained in a
box having a spring actuated bottom, the means hereinbefore described with special
reference to Figure 4 for lowering said spring bottom consisting of a pawl on a
pull over lever gearing with a rack connected by a system of levers to the spring
bottom aforesaid, the handle of said pull over lever projecting through the outer
case substantially as set forth.
4. In a combined machine for printing receipts for cash received and for
delivering coins as change, locking the coin delivering mechanism by a locking.
bar which normally engages hooks on the delivering levers and which is disengaged
from said hooks by the depression of any of the receipt registering levers
substantially as described with special reference to Figures 3 and 4 of the accom-
panying drawings, and for the purpose stated.
5. In combination with the arrangement of mechanism claimed in the preceeding
claim, the spring actuated catch F for keeping the locking bar out of engagement
with the hooks on the coin delivering levers when disengaged therefrom, with
means for releasing said catch from the locking bar whereby the delivering levers
are again locked by the locking bar, the said releasing being effected by a hand
lever which also operates to release the receipt printed by the depression of the
type lever substantially as described with reference to Figures 4 and 9 of the
accompanying drawings.
6. In combination with a machine for delivering coins wherein the delivery is
effected by ejector plates actuated by the depression of key levers, a coin tube
open at one end and with an aperture in the path of all the ejector plates through
which said aperture the coins are forced by the ejector plates into the interior of
the tube, said tube being pivotted and tilted by mechanism connected with a pull
over lever, the handle of which projects through the outer case, whereby the coins
are caused to fall through an aperture in the said outer case substantially as
described and illustrated in Figures 4 and 8 of the accompanying drawings.
7. In combination with a machine for registering money received and for
printing a receipt for same, coin shoots or passages having two hinged flaps or
trap doors with a glazed chamber between them into which the coins placed in the
shoots are exhibited till the next payment is recorded by the machine, said flaps or
trap doors being connected to and operated by pull over lever, the handle of
