Complete Specification Left, 16th Apr., 1895-Accepted, 16th July, 1895
Figs. 4 to 8 represent details and modifications on a larger scale.
The tickets are piled up in the casing on a plate provided with an inclined edge,
and are held in position by an angle w and suitable devices.
The casing g contains a frame a which can be drawn forward by two rods a¹
connected with each other outside the casing by a cross bar a³. The return motion
may be effected in any convenient manner.
In the frame a is pivoted an operating lever 6 provided with a small plate b¹ and
lateral lug b, and when at rest, occupies the position represented by Figs. 1 and 4.
The arm fixed in the frame a carries a plate 1, (Fig. 4), on which rests the
coin thrown into the machine.
The receiving slot is situated above the frame and remains at rest during the
motions of the same. Underneath the stationary stop slides a plate 1, but as
the coin abuts against the stop l', it cannot share the motion of the slide, and drops
down, after the slide 7 has been drawn from underneath the coin. Upon a shaft f¹
provided with a counterweight få are mounted two arms hand a segment f
A flap d hinged to the front of the casing, contains an axle e mounted in a
frame and carrying a roller e¹. A spring serves to keep the said axle at the end
of the frame. Walls i, i, are provided in the casing to guide the tickets
downwards. Before setting the machine in operation, a ticket is inserted from
above, so as to get between the roller e and the segment f.
If no coin has been inserted, the drawing out of the frame leaves all the
mechanisms at rest, that is to say, both the mechanism for pushing out cards and
the mechanism for printing and delivering them, including the operating lever,
which, however, will be drawn under the plate c.
If a coin is thrown in, and then the frame a drawn forward, the coin situated on
the plate / will lift the operating lever, and the plate 6' of the same will slide up
the incline of the piece c to the upper surface of the same and push out the lowest
ticket.
As the frame is drawn forward, the lug 6 of the lever strikes against the
extremity of the lever h and turns the latter, together with the shaft f' and
segment f, so that the latter will draw the ticket between the roller and the
segment.
After this motion, the frame a is drawn back into its position of rest by means of
springs or weights, thereby allowing the card which has just been pushed out of the
stack to drop into the funnel i, so that it gets before the roller and can be
drawn through between the roller and sector during the next operation, after
which the same cycle of operations repeats itself. The two mechanisms are thus
separate, and the whole working is divided into two stages.

page_text: The said roller and segment may be exchangeable and provided with suitable
types for printing the tickets. The latter then drop into the cavity m for
delivery.
If it is desired, that a ticket shall be delivered only after the insertion of a
second coin, I may employ the coin receiver represented by Figs. 6, 7 and 8. This
receiver or. shoot contains a tongue, the lower end of which has the shape of a
fork. According to the position of this tongue, the coin thrown into the receiver
will descend either through the canal or through, and if the receiving slot of
the casing is situated under the canal, only the second coin will act on the
machine, while the first coin is guided off into a receptacle.

Coin-freed Apparatus for Printing and Delivering Tickets.
I, PHILIPP REINER, Mechanical Engineer, of Gutenbergstrasse, Ehrenfeld, near
Cologne, in the German Empire, 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 :-
Referring to the drawings accompanying the Provisional Specification,
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a machine embodying my invention and serving to
illustrate the same,
Fig. 2 is a vertical section at right angles to Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is a plan, and
Figs. 4 to 8 represent details and modifications on a larger scale.
The tickets are piled up in the casing on a plate provided with an inclined edge,
and are held in position by an angle w and suitable devices.
The casing g contains a frame a which can be drawn forward by two rods a¹
connected with each other outside the casing by a cross bar a². The return motion
may be effected in any convenient manner.
In the frame a is pivoted an operating lever 6 provided with a small plate 6' and
lateral lug 2, and when at rest, occupies the position represented by Figs. 1 and 4.
The arm fixed in the frame a carries a plate on which rests the coin inserted in
the machine.
The receiving slot is situated above the frame and remains at rest during the
motions of the same. Underneath the stationary stop slides the plate 1, but as
the coin abuts against the stop , it cannot share the motion of the slide, and
drops down after the slide has been drawn from underneath the coin. Upon a
shaft provided with a counterweight 2 are mounted two arms h h¹ and a
segment f.
A flap d hinged to the front of the casing, contains an axle e mounted in a frame
and carrying a roller e¹. A spring serves to keep the said axle at the end of the
frame. Walls i, are provided in the casing to guide the tickets downwards.
Before setting the machine in operation, a ticket is inserted from above, so as to
get between the roller e¹ and the segment f.
If no coin has been inserted, the drawing out of the frame leaves all the
mechanism at rest, including the operating lever, which, however, will be placed
under the plate c.
If a coin is inserted, and then the frame a drawn forward the coin situated on
the plate will lift the operating lever, and the plate 61 of the same will slide
up the incline of the piece c to its upper surface and push out the lowest ticket.
As the frame is drawn. forward, the lug 2 of the lever strikes against the

page_text: extremity of the lever hand turns the latter, together with the shaft f¹ and
segment, so that the latter will draw the ticket between the roller and the
segment.
After this motion, the frame a is drawn back into its position of rest by means
of springs or weights, thereby allowing the card which has just been pushed out of
the stack to drop into the funnel i, so that it gets before the roller and can be
drawn through between the roller and sector during the next operation, after
which the same cycle of operations repeats itself. The two mechanisms are thus
separate and the whole working is divided into two stages.
The said roller and segment may be exchangeable, and are provided with suitable
type and an inking device for printing the tickets. The latter then drop into the
cavity m for delivery.
If it is desired, that a ticket shall be delivered only after the insertion of a
second coin, I may employ the coin receiver represented by Figs. 6, 7 and 8.
This receiver or shoot contains a tongue, the lower end of which has the shape of
a fork. According to the position of this tongue, the coin inserted in the receiver
will descend either through the canal or through, and if the receiving slot of
the casing is situated under the canal, only the second coin will act on the
machine, while the first coin is guided off into a receptacle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. A coin-freed apparatus for printing and delivering tickets substantially as
berein described and shown in the drawings Figs. 1 to 8.
2. In a coin-freed apparatus for printing and delivering tickets the combination
of a mechanism arranged and adapted to feed a ticket to a required position, with
a mechanism arranged and adapted to receive and print a ticket previously fed to
the said position, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
3. In a coin-freed apparatus for printing and delivering tickets, the combination
of the frame a, the plate adapted to carry a coin, an operating lever actuated by
the intervention of the coin on the forward movement of the frame a, piece c, and
the plate 6 adapted to slide up the incline of the piece c to push out a ticket,
substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
4. In a coin-freed apparatus for printing and delivering tickets, the combination
of an operating lever having a lug 6' arranged and operating to strike against the
extremity of the lever and to turn the same with a shaft fl and segment f to
draw a ticket between the roller e¹ and said segment, substantially as and for the
purpose herein shown and described.
5. In a coin-freed apparatus for printing and delivering tickets, the combination
of a coin receiver a fork ended tongue, and canals and substantially as
herein described and shown with reference to Figs. 6, 7 and 8.
6. An automatic coin-freed ticket printing machine in which by a single operation
a ticket is inserted between the printing rollers, and the preceding ticket delivered,
substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
