CLASS 42: Instruments.

The object of this invention is a receipt counter for cabs, so set up that he automatically states the payment for each tour as well as the transport of one or more people.

The counter also shows how much the coachman did for the different during the day Should have received rides.

The invention is illustrated by the drawings.

The counter consists of a box A from which a pin b protrudes on the drive axis B ; this pin receives the movement of the wagon wheel through some transmission device. The drive axis B carries a worm C, which transmits the movement to a worm wheel C ^1. On the same axis with this a gear wheel C ^{2 is} attached and these two wheels run loosely on the axis C ³ , to which a sector piece C ^{4 is} attached, in which four vertical axes are mounted; these four axes carry four gears c ¹ c ² c ³ c ⁴ , and all four gears are in mesh with C ² ; also, depending on whether one after the other comes into effect, the movement is transferred from ^{the gear C 2} to the gear complex D. This wheel complex consists of four gears d ^l d ² d ³ d ⁱ wedged concentrically on the same axis d ⁵ , which bezw of unequal diameter. are of such a size that c ¹ can be brought into engagement with d \ c ' ² with d ² , c ³ with d ^s, and c ⁴ with i ^4. This engagement of the wheels C ¹ C ² C ³ C ⁴ " is brought about by the rotation of the axis C ³ , and d ^{1 is also in} engagement with the wheel E on the axis e . This axis carries the worm e ¹ , FIG. 1, · Which then transmits the movement to the worm ^{wheel e 2} , which is fixed on the axis F. This axis F carries the conical gear wheel G, which meshes with the gear wheel G ¹ on the cylinder axis h .

The hub of the gear G, G a slot ² has, slides on the fixed in the axis F "pins g. ^3, the spiral spring g · ^4, which presses against the worm e ^2, the conical gear G holds with the conical Zahnrade G ^1. Through the arm g, which has its fulcrum in the pin g ¹ , the conical gear G can be brought into engagement with the ^{gear G 1.}

The solid cylinder H is provided with a screw thread h ¹ , into which the guide block h ² engages, which carries a pointer h ³ and in the two guide rails / z ⁴

slides, which are attached to the same stand H ¹ in which the cylinder H is mounted. The guide block h ² is connected to a counter IP by the chain i, which runs over the disk i ^l and is attached to a disk P, FIG. 2, on the underside of i ¹ . The chain i is rolled up onto the disk P by a spiral spring inserted into it, so that the chain is always tensioned. The cylinder axis h extends on the right-hand side beyond the box and on this extension carries a conical drive k in engagement with another conical drive A ¹ which is fastened on the axis k ^2. These two drives are surrounded by a housing I , and the axis k ² protrudes from the housing, so that a crank can be attached to rotate this axis. These drives kk ¹ serve to give the cylinder H a movement during the rotation of the axis k ² which is opposite to the movement imparted to the cylinder by the pair of wheels G and G ¹ , whereby the guide block, which carries the pointer, is returned to its starting point. In order to be able to bring the guide block back to the starting point with the drives kk ¹ , the conical wheel G is brought into engagement with the ^{wheel G 1} by means of the arm g.

In order to be able to bring the payments made into agreement with the number of people who have traveled, the apparatus is set up in such a way that the cylinder is set in faster rotation according to the number of passengers. The slower or faster rotation of the cylinder is brought about by the fact that the wheel corresponding to the number of passengers is ^{brought into engagement in sector section C 4} with the wheel corresponding to the wheel complex D , and this happens when the coachman presses the crank M, FIG , on the front of the apparatus and set it in the incision η corresponding to the number of people in the periphery of the curved piece JV. The engagement of the wheel c ¹ in d ^l corresponds to one person, c ² with d ² two people, c ³ with d ³ three people, and the setting of the wheels, according to the number of passengers, is done by setting the crank M in the corresponding incisions H ¹ Ti ² U ^{3 of} the curved piece N. The position crank M rotates around the pin L, at the same time with the housing L \ which is attached to the square of the axis C ^3. In the part of the crank located in the housing an arcuate cutout m is made, Fig. 11, into which the guide pin O is fitted (Figs. 15 and 16).

O pins on a pin 0 is mounted, which is supported in the housing L ^1, and is geprefst by about the pin ο Laid spiral spring or the pin ¹ O to the opposite housing wall.

If the key P is withdrawn from the housing and the crank M is brought into a notch, the pin O moves back into its position and covers the arched opening m, which prevents the crank from being moved out of its position.

On the scale rs, Fig. 5, there is a graduation indicating the payment to be made for each journey. The IP counter shows the total amount that the coachman has received during the day. After reading this amount on the counter, it is returned to O by the owner of the car.

The device works as follows:

The movement of the wagon wheel is transmitted in a suitable manner to the drive shaft B , whereby the cylinder H is brought into rotating motion and drives the guide block h ³ forwards, the movement of which is transmitted through the chain i to the counter IP.

The pitch of the screw thread on the cylinder is arranged in such a way that it is in proportion to the payment to be made for each distance traveled. When the guide block reaches the end of the cylinder, or after each trip, it is returned to the start points, and namely in offset That the cylinder in opposite rotation by means of conical drive k in engagement with drive k ¹ on the Cylinderachse, in that the drive k is rotated by a crank on the axis L , while at the same time the conical wheel G must be brought into engagement with G ¹ by the arm g.

When a different payment is to be imposed for the transportation of one or more people, the different wheels c are brought into engagement with the corresponding wheels d , which is done by the crank M, Fig. 5, in the manner described above.

The cylinder H is accordingly set in rotation the faster the more people take part in the journey, whereby the guide block with pointer is also moved forward faster and this faster movement is transmitted to the counter.

Claims (1)

Patent Claims: i. A revenue counter for cabs, in which the pointer (h ³ ) attached to the guide block (h ² ), which indicates the payment to be made on the division (rs) gives, receives its movement through a cylinder (H) provided with an ascending screw thread, and the total amount of the amounts received in the course of the day is indicated by the fact that the pointer block transmits its movement to a counter by means of the chain (i).
