MARCUS BEBRO, of Canfield House Priory Road Kilburn in the County of
Middlesex IMPROVEMENTS IN MECHANISM TO BE EMPLOYED FOR DELIVERING
CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED TICKETS TO PERSONS RIDING IN PUBLIC VEHICLES OR
ENTERING PLACES OF AMUSEMENT.”
This Invention is designed as a further improvement upon Letters Patent
granted to me on the fourth day of March one thousand eight hundred and eighty
one N° 941 the object of which relates moro particularly to further development
and details which will simplify the general construction, usefulness, and portability
of the box containing, and delivering the consecutively numbered strip or ribbon
of tickets intermittantly to persons riding in public vehicles or entering places of
amusement.
The Specification of the above recited Patent employs two rollers of equal
diameter suitably actuated for delivering the tickets from the box enclosing
such tickets in the form of a continuous roll, one of the objects of the present
invention is to reduce one of the said two rollers to one half the diameter of the
other thereby securing portability, the said rollers are geared together in manner as
described in the Specification referred to or such rollers may be made of india
rubber or other similar material or of wood and so placed in contact one with the
other that their frictional contact will enable their rotation to be accomplished
without the use of geared wheels.
A Second object of these present improvements relate to a means whereby the
tickets as they are delivered will receive the impression of a date number or name,
in order to accomplish this I employ a small roller conveniently placed near the
surface of the driving roller which is the larger of the two rollers previously
mentioned, this roller is designed as a roller for type. An inking roller or pad is
also conveniently placed with suitable duct or pad for imparting to the said typo,
ink necessary and sufficient for giving the impressions to the tickets, the said
rollers may be driven by friction or geared together.

The tickets are delivered direct from the driving rollers without guide as
described and shewn in the arrangement set forth in the Specification horein
referred to of my previous patent the said tickets as delivered being torn off at
the line of perforations on a line formed by a sharp angled portion of the face of
the box.
I further employ in place of a lover and coiled spring also previously describod
in the Specification of Patent herein referred to, for giving Motion to the delivering
rollers a pusher or plunger provided with a rack which gives motion through the
medium of a pinion lever and pawl to the driving roller a distance equal to one
half its revolution, the return of the pusher or plunger to its normal position being
accomplished by means of a coiled spring or its equivalent.
Finally I employ in lieu of a circular bell a peculiar shape and form of bell
metal which when struck by a hammer will give a distinct and clear alarm
or call.
If desired I further employ in lieu of the type and inking rollers herein
mentioned a series of punches or perforators on the delivering rollors which punch
or perforate distinctive marks or designs on the tickets as they are delivered from
the box
