Description

The invention relates to card controlled statistical machines for ranking Postings on index cards, for example punch cards, and for counting and recording a number of bookings in each class.

In particular, the invention relates to card- controlled statistical machines comprising two lever chambers and a plurality of counters arranged in rows, each of which is assigned to a different recording field on a card.

The essential characteristic of the subject matter of the invention consists in a transmission device, which comprises a plurality of transmission pins which the feeler levers in the feeler lever chambers are assigned, and when scanning a hole in the map that of the position of this Operate the counter associated with the hole using suitable mechanical or other means.

Furthermore, the machine according to the invention comprises a device for comparing the Data or the designation in a certain card field is used and which in the event of a mismatch Result of the comparison actuated the pressure wave by suitable means, so that the sums are printed on the counters.

Furthermore, according to a characteristic of the invention, during the printing process under Use suitable means of the card gripper depressed, thus for the duration of the printing process the card feed is interrupted. In addition, the Counter wheels, for example by means of locking hooks that

engage in the intermediate gears, held. so. that the counter position reached before the start of the printing process is retained.

The reading from the first card in a group Group designation is according to a characteristic of the invention, for example by means of Emstellstangen set-and until the next printing process maintained. This setting is named at the same time as that on the meters ίο registered totals printed while the aforementioned Adjustment by mechanical means is replaced by the designation, which is from the first The card of the next group is read,

Another feature is the card holder, which is normally each locked by a lock are locked, the closures being controlled by the corresponding Styli are operated so that the. Equipment either for counting or for sorting the cards can be used. *

The counting process and / or the sorting process can be carried out by means of a transmission device made by the same field of the card will.

In addition, another characteristic of the invention is that in the unit counters, from each of which has a plurality of digit wheels with associated transmission facilities includes, the one wheel by means to be explained later with a concentrically revolving zero stop is provided and · is moved forward in stages. The zero stop is always with an associated type carrier engaged so that it is in the same direction as the counter wheel is rotated when the type carriers are exposed to the action of a spring. When calculating the totals if suitable means come into engagement, for example an abutment with a locking hook, so that the one’s wheels are held fast. This causes the counter wheels to move when the Type carriers continue under spring action until they are stopped by the assigned zero stop. After the printing process, the type carriers are returned to their original position by means of return rods and the counter wheels released, so that the type carrier is one step above the ninth division can get out and the NuIl- ■ - "stop can be rotated ten steps while During this movement, the zero stop detects the associated counter wheel and sets it to zero.

According to the invention, the first setting of a designation is made directly by a plurality '■ "■" - set by one of the feeler arm chambers Pins via a vibrating setting transmitter. The further adjustment device is over Lanyard set at the same time. In particular, resources provided by the · Ver. the same device are operated, the setting transmitter kept inactive during the total printing operations, whereby the designation a single card group can be held in the stop basket, although this individual Card the. Designation feeler chamber. leaving hat and weep another card with another Designation has been replaced.

Another, secondary feature of the invention is that over adjusting levers and Control slide of the designation type carrier directly ■ after the designations have been printed by • the "stop basket is set and this designation type carrier is held in the set position by further means until the next printing process. When changing to the / designation, the stop basket can be set again without the setting of the designation type carrier being affected.

In the embodiment shown, two lever chambers, generally designated Pi and P 2 (Fig. 1A, 2, 3 and 3 A), arranged one in front of the other, so that each card first through the lever box P 1 and then one revolution later is scanned by the second feeler box P 2.

Each lever box comprises a lower vibrating part and an upper fixed part. Since the structure of the two sensing lever chambers is the same, only the chamber P 1 is described, and the parts of the other sensing lever chamber P 2 are given the same reference numerals with the addition of the letter α .

In Figs. 3 and 3A, the lower oscillating part of the lever chamber P1 comprises upper and lower pin plates 1 and 2 connected at each end by transverse rods 3, the plates 1 and 2 usually being provided with bores for receiving the scanning pins 4 . Each pin 4 carries a collar 5 which rests on the lower pin plate 2 and carries a spring 6 which presses the pin downwards.

Each chamber is actuated by the device described below for chamber P 2.

The movable part of the chamber including the Ouerstangen 3 α carries a vertical rod 8 a fixedly on the front part, while a vertical rod 9 α is attached to the part to be moved on the rear part (Fig. 4). Each of the rods is held in fixed guides so that it can move vertically back and forth and is forked at its upper end. The rod 9 α does not appear in FIG. 3, but the equivalent rod 9 for the feeler lever chamber P ι is shown in FIG.

Pivotable in the fork of the front rod 8 a is a rectangular block 11 a, which is gripped by the end of an arm 12 a of a lever which is pivotable on the fixed upper frame F 2 of the lever chamber at 13 a and the other arm 14 a 15 a is articulated on an eccentric arm 16a (FIG. 4), the associated eccentric roller is fixed on the lever chamber drive shaft 19. This shaft extends transversely between the two lever chambers and is mounted in bearings on the side plates 20 of the frame which receives the lever chambers.

A similar device is arranged at the rear of each lever chamber and comprises, in the case of the lever chamber P 2, a block, not shown, which is pivotable in the fork of the rod 9 α and is surrounded by a fork at the end of an arm 22 a of a lever, which is on Frame / ⁷ 2 is pivotable at 23 and the other arm 24 <a at 25 is pivotable on an eccentric rod 26 "which is actuated by an eccentric fixed on the shaft 19. The eccentric rollers that the arms 16, 16 a, 26 and 26 a (Fig. 4) actuate, are not shown in this figure. However, the role of α 27 for the arm 26 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 3A.

An associated device comprising the levers 12, 14 and 22, 24 and of eccentrics on the Shaft 19 is actuated is for the lever chamber Pi provided, the corresponding parts in the drawing being denoted by the same reference numerals Additions are designated.

When the shaft 19 rotates, the eccentrics actuate the arms 12 and 22 and 12a and 22a., whereby the moving parts of the two lever chambers are synchronized and once at each Machine rotation are moved back and forth.

The shaft 19 is supported by the main shaft 73 through gears 470, 471 and 472, shaft 473 and Worm drive 474, 475 driven.

Under the pins 4 are the fixed plates 30, between which the cards by sliding rollers 31 and Feed rollers 32 are guided, which the cards from a magazine 33 by a swinging Gripper 34 are fed.

The cards leaving the lever chamber P1 are passed between the fixed pin plates 30 a of the lever chamber P 2 by feed rollers 32 α and sliding rollers 31 a (FIG. 3).

The upper fixed part of the lever chamber P 1 comprises a plate 35 through which the intermediate elements 36, which are suspended with their heads 37 on the plates 35, pass.

The plate 35 is supported on four posts 38 each at one corner of two cross struts 39, the are fixed on the machine frame.

Likewise, two fixed pin plates 40 are fixed on the cross struts 39, which holes carry through which transmission rods 41 pass. Each rod 41 carries a collar 42 and a spring 43 which pushes it downwards. The lower end of each rod 41 rests on the head 37 of the corresponding intermediate transactions transfer element 36. Each rod 41 is offset with respect to the transmission element 36, and the associated spring 43 tries the transmission element 36 counterclockwise to his Press head 37.

All transmission elements 36 protrude through a closure 44 which is provided with slots 45 to to accommodate the elements 36.

On the left side of the shutter 44 two blocks 46 'are formed, each of which carries a horizontal rod 47 which telescopes into a socket 48 carried by a corresponding block 46a on the shutter 44a of the lever chamber P 2, and a spring 49 surrounding the bushing 48 extends between the corresponding blocks 46 and 46 a. In this way, the spring 49 tries to push the shutter 44 to the right (Fig. 3 A) and the shutter 44 a (Fig. 3) to the left. In this connection it should be noted that the Übertragungselementeso in the lever chamber P 2 with respect to the elements 36 in an inverted position, lie in the lever chamber P 1, so that the movement of the shutter 44 to the right has the same effect as the movement of the shutter 44 a to the left.

An angle lever is rotatably located on each block 46 50, which is attached to shaft 51, and on each block 46 a is rotatably an angle lever 50 a, which is set on shaft 51 α. The Winkelbebel 50 are moved by cams 52 on the lever chamber drive shaft 19, while the angle lever 50 a are actuated by cams 52 a on said shaft (Fig. 4).

3 and 3 A, the closures 44 and 44 a are shown pulled to the left and right corresponding to a device that keeps them in these positions when there is no card in the scanning position is located, wherein the roles of the angle levers 50 and 50 a are held away from the cams 52 and 52a. However, if the cards are scanned, the closures are exposed to the control by the cams 52, 52 a, and when the lever chambers have reached the lowest end of their stroke, the closures 44 are located and 44a · to the right and left, respectively. So that the intermediate elements 36 are free to be in a Line to swing with the stylus 4, 40 that have entered holes in the card. The lever chambers then rise, whereby the Intermediate elements for those pins that have found a hole, are raised and then in turn raise the pins 41. During the downward movement of the lever chambers, the cams 52 and 52a move the locks 44, 44a right or left to the elements 36 aμs to swing their alignment with the pins 4, 4 a and thereby set down the lever chambers again.

In order to stop each card for scanning through the lever chambers P ι and ' P 2, each lever chamber carries a card stop 53, 53 a, which are operated independently of the reciprocating movement of the lever chambers by the following device.

The card stop 53 (Fig. 3 A) for the lever chamber P 1 is rotatably carried between two arms 54 on the machine frame at 55, and one of these arms has an extension 56 which is through a part 57 with a lever 60 fixed on a shaft 58 is connected. On the shaft 60 there is also a movement lever 61 with a roller 62 (FIGS. 5 and 6) which engages a card stop actuating cam 63 which lies on a card feed shaft 64. A spring 65 urges the roller 62 into contact with the cam 63.

The card stop 53 a (Fig. 3) for the second lever chamber P 2 is carried pivotably between two arms 54 a on the machine frame at 55 a, and one of these arms is' through a part 57 a with a lever 58 fixed on a shaft 60 a a connected. On shaft 60 a there is also an actuating lever 61 a which is articulated to a lever 66 (FIG. 6) which is guided for reciprocation through a slot 67 with which it grips via a fixed pin 68. At the free end lever 66 carries a roller 62 a, which is in engagement with an actuating cam 63 a on the card feed shaft 64. A spring 65 a presses the roller 62 a in contact with cam 63 a.

The card feed shaft 64 is driven by gears 70 from one of the feed roller shafts 71 (Fig. 3 A), the feed rollers being driven by helical gears 72 on the main shaft 73 (Fig. 2).

The card feed shaft 64 also actuates the edge gripper 34 by means of an eccentric 74 which actuates a connecting rod 75 which is pivotably mounted on a forked arm 76 on the shaft 77. On the shaft TJ , two arms 78 with forked upper ends are also fixed, which are in engagement with a horizontal shaft 79 which lies freely in the magazine slide 80. The gripper 34 slides vertically in the magazine slide 80 and is normally held in the actuating position by two springs 81 (FIGS. 3A and 7).

On the shaft 79, which in the course of the further description is referred to as the gripper depressing shaft is, two press-down arms 82 are attached, which grasp the gripper (see Fig. 7), so that when the shaft 79 is moved clockwise (in FIG. 3 A), the gripper 34 counteracts the action of Springs 81 is pulled down so that its upper edge is below the level of the magazine slide 80 and the gripper, although the magazine slide 80 continuously moved back and forth with the gripper, none in the depressed state Card captured.

The reason the gripper is kept idle and the means for moving the shaft 79 will be described later. After a card has been scanned by the second feeler lever chamber, the latter rises and the associated card stop 53 a is withdrawn, whereupon further feed rollers 415 (Fig. 2A) convey the card to the card receivers R 1 to R 12 until they are in occurs for whom it is intended.

The arrangement and control for the transducers or recipient and the facility for Sorting the cards will be described later.

The way in which each card is punched can best be explained using an example: d. H. a card that is used when preparing censuses. During census work one card is punched for each person and it is each card in a number of fields divided, each of which has one or more columns.

For example, a field can be used to indicate the ίο area of residence of the person, and a hole indicates the corresponding district by its position in the field. Another field can be used for Professions are provided and also carries a single hole, which is special by its position Represents the occupation of the person to whom the card relates.

The other fields relate to other information, such as nationality, age, etc.
After the cards have been punched, they are sorted into predetermined groups; for example, they can be grouped according to the boroughs so that in each group there is a card for each person residing within the borough, the group relating to that borough.

It is desirable to have the number for each district (or for another division, e.g. for each occupation) of people within each age group (or according to another classification, e.g. gender) counting. Provided that the counting of the number of people in each age group who living within each district is required, the cards are first sorted by district.

The cards then run through the machine, and the first lever chamber P1 reads the field in which the holes are punched that represent the district, and the second lever chamber P 2 reads the field in which the holes for the age group are contained .

There are three columns in the field for age groups, with each column having twelve hole positions so that provision is made for thirty-six age groups.

Each age group is assigned a counter which is operated in such a way that a unit is added, when the age-appropriate feeler scans a hole, so that the counter, that of a certain Age group, only those cards that have a hole for that age group counts wear.

Under the action of the feeler chamber Pi, which reads the district field, there is a comparison device that records the information on the district number of the first card of a district group and compares this information with the district number of the subsequent cards. When the district number changes, ie when the first card for the next district is scanned, the comparison device causes all counters to print their sums and to go back to zero. At the same time, the comparison device stops the card feed in order to give the necessary pause for the total printing process.

The X ^ comparison facility also takes the new information of the first card of the next district on, the card feed starts again, and the Counting operations are carried out with respect to the next district.

The former sensing lever chamber Pi, which scans the district field on the cards, can also control the sorting of the cards into the receptacles, and this sorting, as will be explained later, can be carried out with respect to a field of the card which is different from the field with respect to which the count was made. Thus, while the age group is being counted, sorting can be carried out simultaneously with respect to this or with respect to any other classification.

In order to control the counters, the second lever chamber P 2 is provided with three transmission devices T 2 , one of which can be seen in FIG. 8 (see also FIGS. 1 A and 3 A). Each transfer device comprises a flat plate-like frame with guide loops 85 which are designed to receive twelve transfer pins. Each transmission pin 86 carries a collar 87 which is pressed against a rib 88 of the frame by means of its spring 89, and the lower end of each pin 86 is in contact with the upper end of the corresponding pin 41 in the lever chamber P 2 , so that the corresponding transmission pin 86 is raised when a stylus 4 α finds a hole in a card. Each transmission device T2 is adjustable, so that it can be adjusted via any desired row of the sensing lever chamber P 2. The end of the inner wire 90 of a Bowden cable 91 presses against each transmission pin 86. There are twelve pins 86 in each of the three transmission devices T and a corresponding total of thirty-six Bowden cables 91. The other end of each Bowden cable 91 is connected to the control device of a corresponding counter, with thirty-six counters arranged horizontally side by side.

These counters are in three rows A, B, C (Fig. 1) such that twelve devices are in each row. To the right of each row is a totalizer CTA, CTB and CjTC, one for each row, and at the far right end of row A is a totalizer CGT for the entire machine.

There is an upper and lower counter in each counter, and they are the two counters a unit equipped with common actuation means, 'which under the action of the corresponding Transfer pin 86 are so that both counters protrude by one if a corresponding hole in a card is scanned.

Means are provided whereby the counters can be set so that during a total printing operation either all lower counters or all upper counters print their totals and on Go back zero.

Whenever everyone pushes down the summer

lower counters print their totals, keep the • upper counters their sums and serve dtam.it as Total counter. On the other hand, when the setting is reversed, the upper counters become to totalizers.

Each counter includes five designation counting wheels 95 (Fig. 9) having forty teeth, and an actuating wheel 96 having twenty teeth meshes with each of them former wheels. The lowermost designation actuation wheel carries a pawl 97, the effect of which is such that all of the pawls 97 want to operate on each revolution, but usually through one Locking device 98 are prevented from engaging with one end 99 of the pawl and hold it back from engagement with wheel 96. Each pawl 97 is rotatable at 100 on a bell crank 101 stored at 102 on the counter frame is pivotally attached. One arm of the bell crank 101 for the upper counter is connected by a part 103 to the corresponding arm of the angle lever 101 of the lower meter. With a pin 104 on the part 103 is a fork arm 105 in engagement, which is on a counter actuating shaft 106 is specified, which is in the following type and for each machine revolution Way turns.

At the right end of the counter actuation shaft 106 a lever 107 is attached (Fig. 1, 2A, 10 and 13), at its forked end at 108, the connecting member 109 of an eccentric arm 110 is pivotable lies, which of an eccentric 111 on the main drive shaft 112 for the counter devices is operated. · This main drive shaft 112 is referred to as the counter shaft in the course of the further description - The counter shaft is driven by the main shaft 73 via a clutch, the structure of which is shown in FIGS. on the shaft 112 is freely moveable a bush 113, on which a coupling nose 114 and a pinion 115 are attached, which continuously from a further pinion 116 on the main shaft 73 via a Chain 117 is driven (Fig. 10). On the Shaft 112 is a driven clutch disc 118 (Fig. 11 and 12), which is at 119 a rotatable Pawl 120 carries which during card scanning rotations the nose 114 is detected, whereby the shaft 112 with the sleeve 113 is forced to rotate will.

In this way, the shaft 112 makes one revolution for each card scanning revolution, and the shaft 106 is moved first clockwise and then counterclockwise from the position shown in FIG. 13 via eccentrics in connecting rod 109 and arm 107. As already explained, the shaft 106 carries an arm 105 for each counting device which engages at 104 on the part 103 (FIG. 9) which connects the angle levers 101 of the upper and lower counters in the device. As a result, the movement of the shaft 112 first raises all parts 103 and then lowers them, whereby all bell cranks 101 are moved first counterclockwise and then clockwise (Fig. 9). The movement of the angle lever ιοί counterclockwise pulls the corresponding actuating pawls 97 to the right in Fig. 9, but the lifting device 98 remains in the path of the end piece 99 of each pawl until the follower pin 4 a (Fig ^{. 1.} 3) for the counter in question Has found hole, whereby the pawl is rotated clockwise about its pin 100 and the next tooth * of the wheel 96 ■ misses. In this way the pawls will not turn the wheels 96 back when the part 103 goes down and moves the pawls 97 back to the left.

As previously described, each of the transmission pins 86 is alternately driven by scanning pins 4 α of the chamber P 2 are actuated, a Associated with a Bowden cable 91, the inner wire end 90 of which is attached to the upper end of the corresponding pin 86 is applied. The other end of each wire 90 shines against a control lever 121 for the corresponding one Counting device (Fig. 9) with all control levers hinged side by side on blocks 122 which hang below a rod 123.

If a stylus 4 a finds a hole, the associated transmission pin 86 is raised and actuates the wire 90 of the associated Bowdenz-uges 91, whereby the associated control lever 121 in Is moved clockwise in FIG. The inhibiting devices 98 for the pawls 97, already mentioned consist of protrusions bent out of levers 124 attached to the frame at 125 attached and connected by a link 12ο are, which carries a pin 127 that over the associated control lever 121 is located. Consequently member 126 is raised when said control lever 121 rotates clockwise, whereby the levers 124 are moved counterclockwise to the clockwise direction, so that the inhibiting Projections 98 are removed from the path of the end pieces 99 of both pawls 97. This has to As a result, both pawls 97 for each counting device, their associated scanning pins 4 a have a hole found in engagement with the counter control wheels 96 remain in order to turn them one tooth further.

The levers 124 and the control lever 121 become by a spring 128 attached to the lower lever 124 is connected, returned to the normal position and held in contact with a stop pin 129. ■. ■ '

Each counter wheel 95 runs freely on a hub 130, which carries wheels 131 with teeth that are constantly in the Engage with teeth of a type rod 132. All hubs are freely supported on a spindle 133 ^ gC, .

Each counter wheel95 also has four ratchet recesses or teeth 134 on the annular surface of the associated hub 130, such that this Ratchet recesses are offset by 90 °. A pawl that works with the ratchet teeth, lies on every hub.

Each pawl includes a slider 135 with a 12g Extension 136 slidable in a slot

137 ^{m of} the hub 130 and carries a pin 138 which protrudes through the slot 139 in the hub to limit the movement of the slide. The slide 135 carries a tooth 140 which is engaged by a spring 141 with the inner circumference of the counter wheel 95, so that the latter tries to come into engagement with one or the other of the recesses 134.

As will be described later, they come Pawls 135 in action during the totalization, and accordingly only one pawl is

. of the pair in engagement with a recess 134 come at any time. This depends on whether the lower or upper counter of the facility prints his total. In FIG. 9, the pawl 135 for the upper counter of the counter pair is in the counting device shown in engagement with a recess 134, while the pawl for the lower counter is held out of engagement with a recess. The facility for this will be done by others Stell-e described.

The type rods 132 are normally in their zero positions against the action of springs 143 held by a return rod 142, the springs between projections 144 on the Type rods and a fixed part 145 are arranged. The springs try, the dude rods move up to their new positions.

With each counter wheel 95 meshes an intermediate wheel 146, the teeth of which mesh with the toothing 147 of an indicator wheel 148, the teeth of which are arranged so that the surfaces on the upper sides of the teeth are large enough that the digits zero to nine are recorded on them can. For each row of counters an upper window 149 u is provided through which the readings of the upper counters can be observed, while a lower window 149 e is used to observe the readings of the lower counters. When a counter wheel 95 is at zero and the type rods 132 are also at zero, the teeth 140 of the pawl 135 (see upper counter in FIG. 9) are in engagement with one of the recesses 134 in the counter wheel. When the latter moves step by step out of the zero position, the recess 134 also leaves the tooth 140 behind.

The intermediate wheels 146 in each of the two counters of a device are equipped with locking hooks, which consist of levers 150 each with a pin 151, which engages the teeth of the wheel 146. These locking hooks are held against the by springs 152 Wheels 146 depressed and are during counting operations free to move as teeth 146 override pins 151. When calculating the totals however, the ratchets 150 are held in engagement with the idler gears 146, and the counter wheels 95 thus stop. For this purpose, a shaft 153 is provided, which continues is referred to as a ratchet holding shaft, with one such shaft for each of the three rows of meters is provided. The shaft 153 for each row runs under the counters in that row

(See Fig. 1) and carries a surface 153 a, which during ■ the card scanning process is vertical. In Fig. 9, the shaft is shown in the position in which it is moved when calculating the totals. A number of levers 154 press against the surface 153 a, which are pivotable at 155 on the frame and one of which belongs to each facility. In the The ratchet retaining shaft is used to determine the total

153 moves counterclockwise to the position shown in Fig. 9, causing the lever

154 in the course of the rotation of the shaft 153 in Clockwise against the action of springs 156 are moved and their upper ends on a Cam surface 157 has a pivotable abutment 158 in engagement with the ratchet 150 for each Bring counter, the two abutments 158 are connected by a member 159 so that they are common work. In this way, the pawls 150 are held against movement, see above that their pins 151 like the wheels 146, 148 and 95 as described above.

The means for moving the ratchet support shaft is discussed elsewhere.

After the locking hook 150 in the described Manner have been held, the retrieval rod 142 for the type rod 132 is from their Normal position moves upwards, and the type rods 132 move under the action of them Springs 143 upwards and thus rotate the hubs 130 on which the counter wheels 195 are freely supported are in the same direction as that in which the counter wheels 195 step by step during the Counting process - were rotated. Each hub 130 rotates clockwise (Fig. 9) until it is stopped by the associated ratchet tooth 140, which comes with that of the recesses 134 in the counter wheel 95 in engagement, which first in its way and thereby the type bar 132 stops to print the corresponding one.

The type bars that have been adjusted in this way give this adjustment by the following Establishment again.

Close to the type bars 132 is a roller 160 which is mounted in a carrier 161 (Fig. 10), which is normally so that the plate is removed from the type elements 1320 to the introduction of the sheet of paper between the platen and the ribbon.

All summation processes are controlled by a main pressure wave 162 that occurs at each Totalizing process makes one revolution. Moved in a manner to be described later this pressure wave, after the type elements have been set, the carrier 161 on the types and then releases the print hammers 163, which hit the type under spring action and the Bring about pressure. .

It should be noted here that a set of the type bars 132 serves to print the sums of both \ ^r on the lower and of the upper counter, and that the lower counter, while the sum is printed by the upper counter is prevented from must be setting the

Influencing guy bars, and vice versa. When the top counter is used to accumulate subtotals, there is a pawl release lever 164 which is adjusted by hand so that the pawls 135 of the lower counter disengage with the recesses 134 in the counter wheels 95 of the lower counter. Be that way the hubs 130 of the lower counter ^ if the Type bars 132 move away from zero, rotated to receive an adjustment from the upper counter, but as the teeth 140 of the pawls 135 are unable to work with the recesses

134 in. The counter wheels 95 will not engage the type bars 132. held when the lower counter wheel hubs ¹ 130 reach the position ^ in which the pawls engage in the recesses if they were released to do so.

As long as the latch release member 164 in. This

\ - position is (Fig. 9), the machine will only print from the upper counters for any total printing operation; In order to print the total sums from the lower counters, the position of the ratchet release lever 164 is reversed at the hand so that the total sums from the lower counters ^{1 are} printed out during the next total printing operation.

The pawl release member 164 consists of a lever which is pivotable at 165 on the frame and carries a block 166 (Fig. 9). At its free end the lever carries a forked member 167 which engages over a shaft 168 which runs through the forked parts 167 of all counting devices. The shaft 168 is mounted in blocks 168 a, "which are guided in slots 168 b in the stationary part 168 c / and carries pinions 168 d, which grip the stationary guide frames 168 e (FIGS. 1.5 and 16). The shaft 168 also runs through a Cam slot 169 formed in a cam plate 170 which is rotatable in the machine frame at 171. The cam plate 170 is slotted at 172 and a pin 173 engages the slot 172. The pin 173 is on one end of a hand lever 174, - The 'is rotatable at 175 on the machine frame, attached (Fig. 14).

The pawl release member 164 is with the parts shown in Fig. 14 in its lower Position in which the molded block i66 the pawls

135 of the lower counter is pressed radially inward, so that the teeth 140 of the recesses 1341η the lower counter wheels 195 are free. to at the same time the pawls 135 of the upper counter are exposed to the action of their springs 141, so that their teeth 140 with the recesses 134 of the upper counter wheels 195 come into engagement can. In these circumstances the top counters are set to total their every time Specify the total calculation process, and therefore form the auxiliary total collectors.

To get the grand totals, the Lever 174 (Fig. 14) moved clockwise, whereby the pin 173 'which cooperates with the slot 172 in the cam plate 170, the latter counterclockwise with the result that the cam slot 169 rotates the shaft 168 raises and thereby the pawl release lever 164 for all counters opposite to that Rotates clockwise to its upper position. In this position, all parts 166 hold the associated upper counter pawls 135 are disabled and allow the lower counter pawls to operate.

This process of printing a total from one of the counters does not end with the zeroing of the counter. During the auxiliary total printing process, the counter wheels 195 remain silent and are held by the ratchet pawls 150.

The printing process takes the first half of one revolution of the print shaft 162 and around To reset the counters to zero, a zeroing rod 176 is provided, which during the second Half of the rotation of the blast wave is in action. During this second half turn the return rod 142 for the type rods is moved from zero as before, and the zeroing rod 176 follows this movement and effectively drives the type bars into their extreme upper Position, .the unclean tooth position is beyond the new positions. Before this movement takes place the ratchet holding shaft 153 is in their Turned back to zero position, thereby releasing the locking hook 150, so that when the type rods 132 are driven to their extreme upper position, they rotate the hubs 130 ten steps. When each pawl 135 reaches the next recess 134 in the associated counter wheel 195, it is detected the counter wheel and moves it forward to the nine position, d. H. the counter wheels are moving forward moved from the digit they were set to to the next zero position. The zero setting rod 176 returns to the starting position, and so does the type return rod 142 brings the type rods 132 to zero at the same time and rotates the hubs in the process 130 backwards until the teeth 140 of the associated pawls 135, when the type rods reach zero, fall into one of the recesses 134 in the associated counter wheels, so that the latter now are ready to perform another count.

Means are also provided for printing the zeros to the left of the maximum designation digits to prevent, and the structure of the print hammers is designed as follows for this purpose: Associated with each hammer 163 is a pawl 177 which is rotatable at 178 on the frame and normally is held in engagement by a spring 179 with a pin 180 on the hammer. All of the hammers are rotatable at 181, and it's on the same pivot point a hammer Rückhollsitange 182, which by a frame 183 and a link 184 is connected to a lever or block 185 which is mounted on a hammer actuation shaft 186 is. The connection between the member 184 and the block 185 is through a block 187 at the threaded end 188 of link 184, this block being bifurcated at 189, around a pin tied between two arms

190 to include. The two arms are formed by slitting the block 185. Everyone Hammer also carries an extension 191 which is rotatable at 192 on a rod 194 and through an eye 224 at the end of an arm 195 which is used to adjust the spring tension rotatable on the hammer at 196 on the frame, but normally in its tuned position is fixed by screw 197 and nut 198.

A spring 200 surrounds the rod 193 between a shoulder 199 and the eye 224. This spring is the Hammer blow spring.

The hammer actuation shaft 186 also serves for actuating the reciprocating carrier 161 and is via a gear part of of the pressure shaft 162 is actuated, so that during the rotation of the pressure shaft, the lever actuating shaft 186 initially stands still, but is rotated during the remainder of the revolution of the pressure shaft.

In FIGS. 13 and 17, there is a on the pressure wave 162 partially toothed wheel 201 can be seen, which meshes with a pinion 202 on a shaft 203. On the side of the wheel 201, a plate 204 with two recesses 205, 206 is attached, and on the Pinion 202 lies on a plate 207 with two projections 208, 209. The teeth of gear 201 run from the recess 205 in a clockwise direction in FIG. 17 to the recess 206.

A member 210 is rotatably disposed on a crank arm of the shaft 202 and is connected to a lever 212 at 211 is rotatable, which in turn has one end 213 on the machine frame and the other end 214 is pivotally connected to a lever 215, the lever 215 is pivotally connected to an arm 217, which is fixed to the hammer actuation shaft 186.

When the pressure shaft 162 makes one revolution, it drives the shaft 203 for one revolution which, however, only takes part of the one revolution of the pressure wave.

The lever 212 and the lever 215 form an Ouerstück which, when the shaft 203 rotates, moves over to the other side of its dead center, whereby the arm 217 and the shaft 186 counterclockwise in FIG. 13 (clockwise in FIG. 9) ), whereby the link 184 is pulled to the right in FIG. 9, thereby actuating the hammer return rod 182 in a clockwise direction in FIG. As the retrieval rod 182 rotates clockwise, an A ^T ase2i8 on that rod engages the ends of the hammer pawls 177 and subjects the hammers to the action of the springs 200.

From the extension 191 of each hammer a pin 219 protrudes which cooperates with another pawl 220 which is upwards protrudes from a horizontal slide 221. This slide is by means of slots on the au-s protrude from the frame of the camming device-

fi-> the pins arranged and together with the The pawl 220 carrying it is normally held on the left in FIG. Holding on does the protrusion 218 on hammer return rod 182.

When the associated type bar 132 is at zero, a recess 222 is the end of the associated slide 221 opposite, and it moves when the hammer return rod 182 in Clockwise 'runs and' thereby protrudes 218 removed from the pawl 220, each slide under the action of the springs 223 to the right, and the end of the slide pushes into the recess if the movement of the slide is not prevented 222 before. This movement of the slide 221 attaches the associated pawl 220 over the pin 219 the extension 191 of the corresponding hammer. As a result, every hammer becomes its slide 221 moved to the right, despite the release of pawl 177 by pawl 220 on the impact prevented.

If, however, some type bar 132 has moved out of the zero position, the corresponding slide 221 cannot move to the right move, and the assigned hammer is therefore free to strike the Type 132 a.

In order to enable zeros to be printed on the right of the highest designation number, everyone wears Slide 221 has a projection 200 through which it grips the next slide, so that any slide 221, which is held in place on the left by the associated type rod 132, all of the sliders holds lower denominations to the left. However, none of the higher passages is recorded, so that zeros are printed to the right of the highest designation digit, but none to the left of it.

The pressure wave 162 winds over gears 225, 226 a shaft 227 driven two revolutions for each one revolution of the pressure shaft executes and which the Typetistangenrückholstange 142 and the counter reset rod 176 controls.

As mentioned earlier, thirty-six counters are arranged in a line. Preferably there are three separate type rod return rods 142 and associated counter zeroing rods 176 is provided, each return rod and reset rod for controlling a Serving group of twelve counters. Means are needed to enable individual control of each group which separate the return and zeroing rods from their actuating devices so that any desired group can hook the amount contained therein without pressure from the same. Through the subsequent reconnection of the return locking rods with the actuating means this group can be made to print with the other meters.

Each type rod retrieval rod 142 is carried between two arms 228 (Figs. 18, 19), which are arranged to move freely on a wall fixed in the machine frame, and an actuating arm 230 is adjacent to each arm 228, the arm 230 at 'which a link 231 in point 232 can be pivoted on the shaft 229 is rotatable. This link is in the other. End with another lever 234 rotatably connected, which is pivotable at 235 on the frame, and which together with the limb 231 a knee joint

forms. At the other end of the '234 lever is at 236 hinged a Verb indungss tab 237, which at the other end with a crank pin 238 on shaft 227 is connected, two rotations at a time one revolution of the pressure shaft 162 each time. Each of the arms 228, "the" the retrieval rod 142 has a pin 239 which protrudes and protrudes under the associated actuating arm 230 pulled up against this by a spring 240 is.

The lever 234 and the link 231 form a Cross piece, and the crankshaft 227, to which this cross piece is attached, makes the Pressure wave 162 two revolutions during which the crosspiece is bent and pulled back twice. If the transverse piece is bent, the lower end of the lever 231 rises, thereby lifting the actuating arm 230 to which it is attached is, whereupon the spring 240 pulls the arm 228 upwards on which the type rod return rod 142 is arranged.

In order to actuate the zero setting rod 176 au, the latter is arranged between two further arms 241, which are rotatable about the fixed shaft 229, and one of these arms terminates in a Lug 242 with which a pawl 243 is engaged, which at 244 on one of the actuating arms 230 is rotatable, which shower actuates the crosspiece is, so that when this arm 230 is raised, the zeroing rod 176 also upwards seeks to go. During the first half revolution of the pressure wave 162, i. lh. in the first Actuation of the crosspiece, however, the blinker 243 is kept withdrawn (Fig. 19). this happens by means of a part 245 which is attached to the locking hook holding shaft 153, so that at Raising the return rod 142 to the ■ type rods 132 taking over a setting of To enable the counters, the zeroing rod 176 will not operate. During the second actuation of the Cross piece, however, the pawl 243 can capture the nose 242 (FIG. 18), and it is therefore with the actuating arms 230, the arms 241 carrying the zeroing rod 176 are also raised. In order to actuate the ratchet holding shaft 153, a cam disk 246 (FIG. 14) is provided with a guide surface 247 attached to shaft-162. A roller 248 engages in this guide surface 247 End of a lever 249, which is rotatable between its ends at 250 on the machine frame. At its other end 251, the lever 249 is with rotatably connected to an arm 252 which is fixed to the ratchet support shaft 153. During the first half revolution of the pressure shaft 162 moves the guide surface 147 <the lever 249 counterclockwise (Fig. 14), whereby clockwise in Fig. 9 and 14 is operated. ■

Since the movement required by the parts 245 is relatively small, the lost Movement balanced by loosely arranging these parts on the shaft 153 and through Attachment of an actuating lug 253 for each part 245 on the shaft, which after the shaft 153 clockwise in Fig. 18 by a predetermined one. Has rotated measure, grasps a shoulder 254 on part 245 and rotates with shaft 153. As described above, the activities of printing the totals and zeroing the counter are carried out by the Pressure wave 162 controlled during card feeding operations stands still and then comes into action when there is a change in the designation of the Classification takes place in relation to which the counters are to print their sums. The means to this To indicate a change in the designation and to cause one revolution of the pressure shaft 162 a, will now be described.

It has already been explained that the first of the two lever chambers F ι is used to to scan the field of the edge for the binning with respect to which it is desired that the determined by the counters during the passage of the corresponding group of cards through the machine Print total.

■ To the reading · to be transmitted by this field to the Vergieichseinrichtung is a Übertragungseinrichtunig T ι foot each row of the array is provided, wherein this device is similar to those used to control the counter.

A stationary frame 261 is arranged on a stationary rod 216 at the rear part of the machine (FIGS. 2A, 20 and 21), in which there is a number of rows of horizontally lying pins 262, one row of pins for each row of the Map field is available, with respect to which the names are to be compared. These pins are connected by Bowden cables 263 to associated transmission pins 86 of the device T 1, which are from the corresponding scanning pins; 4, which scan the field with respect to which the designation is to be compared. On top of this fixed rod 216 is another fixed frame 264 with rows of horizontally lying adjustment rods 266 such that there is a pair of adjustment rods for each hole position in each row, that is, a pair of rows of adjustment rods for each pin row 262 in the other stationary frame 261 is provided. These adjustment rods are positioned so that they can be moved horizontally and are forced to the left by springs 267. For. each row of adjustment rods is provided with a clinic rod 268,269 running along the row.

Each latch bar carries a series of openings 270 (FIG. 20), one opening for each adjustment rod in the row, one at a distance Cam nose 271 which is on the horizontal side of the opening and which is normally on one side of a projection 272 lies on the associated adjustment rod. One of those latch bars for each row of adjustment rods and the latch rods corresponding to a pair of rows of adjustment rods are fixedly connected to each other by pins so that they move as a whole. Thus, when any adjustment rod 265 or 266 in one of the rows of the pair moves horizontally

becomes, both pawl rods 268 and 269 rise as the protrusion 272 from the cam lobe 271 overflows, and d'ie ratchet rods then fall down again, causing the adjustment rods to against their position, the action of return springs 267 can be determined. The operation of a the adjustment rods in one. Couple's row gives any other bar in one of the rows free, which has previously been moved.

Between the two fixed frames 261 and '264 lies a third frame, the one along a stationary one. Rod 260 horizontally back and forth displaceable: is stored. This reciprocating frame includes upright poles. 280, the connect two "horizontal plates! 281, which with are screwed to a carrier 282, which carries guide crowns 283, which the fixed rods 260 embrace and guide the carrier in its reciprocating motion. Between the upright Rods 280 is a series of plates 284, one for each series of Pins 262. A number of angle levers 286, 287 are hinged to each plate 284 at 285, from each associated with one of each pin 262 in the corresponding row.

Each bell crank is pulled by a spring 288 so that one of its arms 286 is connected to the corresponding one Pin 262 in the adjacent fixed frame 261 remains in contact. There the reciprocating frame 280, 282 moves toward the adjustment rod assembly 264 (to the right in FIG. 21), if one of the pins 261 remains still, the associated bell crank moves 286,287 around its pin 285. If that Inverter 280, 282 at one end of its stroke is closer to the frame 261 which is the horizontal Containing pins 262 (on the left in Fig. 21), each of the bell cranks 286,287 is so that its other Arm 287 is opposite one of the corresponding adjusting rods in the row of adjusting rods 265, which is assigned to the series of angle levers. If none of the pins 262 is moved, if a card is scanned, all angle levers move when the liin. and going Frame 280, 282 extend to the right on the adjustment bar device 264 moved to, and it moves as a result the other arm 287 of each bell crank into engagement with the corresponding one Adjustment rod 266 in the other row of the pair.

As the inverter continues to move, the adjustment rods become. 266 to the right in FIG. 21.

However, when a hole is scanned, the associated pin 262 is free to accommodate the movement of the oscillating frame 280 to follow, and the relative position of the bell cranks 286, 287 and the swaying frame 280, 282 maintained, so that the other frame 287 of the angle lever remains in engagement with the same adjustment rod 265 as before, and it becomes that adjustment rod 265 actuated. In this way, in a series of adjusting rods 266, all the adjusting rods, the index positions, in which there are no holes, correspond, then set, while in the other of the two associated rows all those adjustment rods 265 are set which index positions correspond in which a hole has been scanned. It is determine that upon movement of any adjustment rod 265 or 266 in either of the two rows the corresponding pawl rods 268 and 269, which are fixedly connected by pins 273, both lifted up and dropped again, to fix the adjustment rods in the setting. With this arrangement, the device can indicate the omission of a hole even if the remaining holes are the same · as on the previous cards without. it required: will provide some readjustment rod for the adjustment rods so that the device relatively fast, d. H. with about 400 settings per minute.

When the first card in a group is scanned, the corresponding setting is made in the Adjusting rod device made and remains there. When the first card the next Group is scanned, the setting of the adjustment rods is changed, and one or more Pairs of ratchet bars 268, 269 therefore rise and fall.

This movement of the ratchet rods when the number of groups changes is used to · the Card feed and the counting activity of the machine shut down and one revolution of the pressure wave 162.

For this purpose, a lock 290 is fixedly arranged on the shaft 291, which can move freely in Tabs: 292 rests against the stationary frame 264. This lock 290 is on top of all of them Ratchet rods 268, 269 and rests on their. Upper edge, so that when lifting any latch rod Due to a change in the name of the shutter 290 and with it the shaft 291 be moved.

The frame 280, 282 is supported by a connecting rod 293 (Figs. 2A and 22) actuated by the main shaft 73 of the machine to the frame to move back and forth. A lever 296 is rotatable with its lower end 294 on the stationary Rod 260 and between its ends: attached at 295 to the swinging frame so that this lever moves with the movement of the frame. The upper end 297 of this lever 296 carries pivotably a clutch control arm 298 with a pin 299 resting on a lever 300, which is attached to the shaft 291 to which the shutter 290 is connected. Hence the Clutch control arm 298 reciprocable with the frame and adjustment rod assembly is also lifted when the lock is lifted.

When the clutch control arm 298 is raised in this manner, a pawl 301 holds it, which is rotatable on a rod 260 at 302, fixed in its raised position such that the Pawl engages pin 303 on arm 298. At

the pin 303 is a return spring 304 for the Arm 298 set. -

The clutch control arm 298 controls a clutch which is disengaged during card scans and in the engaged state d'äzu serves, the pressure wave 162 'with the main shaft 73 to connect the machine.

At the same time the clutch 114, 118, which connects the counter shaft 112 to the main shaft, disengaged, which means that the counting process is postponed while the totals are being calculated.

The coupling device for controlling the

Pressure wave is constructed as follows (see Fig. 1, 2 A, 10, 11 and 12): On a socket 305, which can be freely rotated is on the pressure shaft 162, a clutch drive part 306 is fixed, which is with a series of ■ Claws 307 is provided. The socket 305 is mediated a gear 308 connected to the socket is constantly rotated. The gear meshes with a pinion · 309 which is connected to a coaxial gear 310 which again with a pinion 311 on the resistant rotating bush 113 on counter shaft 112 is engaged.

With the pressure wave 162 is a driven Clutch disc 312 firmly connected (Fig. 2A, 11, 12) which rotatably carries a pawl 314 at 313, which during the count-preceding two · positions assumes and with its end piece 315, an abutment 316 rests, which at the end of a Lever 317, the one at 318 on the fixed rod

- 260 is pivotable, is carried (Figs. 2 and 22).

This lever 317 is through a member 319 with a Lever 320 allied, which pivots at 321 on the machine frame. The lever 320 carries a remote one. Part 322, the one under the normal Path of the oscillating Kuppkmgssteuerarmes 298, which, when this control arm in the dashed line Lines is raised in the position (Fig. 20), with its end in the way of the remote part 322 of the lever 3-20 device. Select

During the movement of the arm 298 to the right, this lever 320 strikes in a clockwise direction and in the process rotates the lever 317 in a clockwise direction, as a result of which the abutment 316 is pulled off the end piece 315 of the pawl 314. As part 306 'continues to rotate, pawl 314 falls under the action of its spring 323 into one of the spaces between claws 307, thereby coupling parts 306 and 312 and forcing pressure shaft 162 to rotate. A locking plate 324 cooperates with the disk 312 and rotates on the shaft 325 on which the gears 309 and 310 are freely rotatably arranged. When the disc 312 is stationary, the locking hook 324 is in engagement with a tooth 326 of this disc. When the disk begins to rotate (counterclockwise in Fig. 11), the pawl plate 324 is rotated clockwise and places an abutment 327 in the path of the end piece 120 α of the pawl 120, which the two coupling parts

.. ■■ 114, 118 for the cutter shaft connects. Since the .Scheibe-118 rotates, the end piece .schlägt 120σ of the pawl ^1120, the abutment 327'an, whereby the pawl 120 is disengaged from the resistant rotating claw 114 and shaft 112 separates from the bushing 113th

: The gear ratio between the sockets 113 and 305 is 9: 1, so that the pressure wave 162 makes one revolution for every nine revolutions of the bush 113, and the part 306 carries corresponding to nine claws 307.

In the moment in which a change in. The name is discovered, is the first card of the new group in the Bezeichnung.sfüh ^{(lhebelkammer} P 1 and the last card of the old group in the counter control lever chamber P 2. Since the printing nine revolutions the socket 113 occupies, it is necessary to stop the card feed during printing.

To this end, the pressure wave 162 carries a Card feed control cams 328 (Figs. 2 and 14), the at the beginning of the rotation of the shaft the card gripper 34 (Fig. 3 A and 7) below the level des -Kartenweges so that no card is detected, although the gripper is to and fro walking movement continues.

In order to depress the gripper, the gripper control device is structured as follows: As previously explained, there are two grippers and on the gripper depressing shaft 79 Attached pressure arms 82, which grasp the gripper, so that. when the shaft 79 is moved clockwise in FIG. 3A the gripper against the action of the spring. 81 is pulled down so that its upper edge is under the hone of the magazine slide device and no card is detected, although the magazine slide 80 together with the depressed gripper continuously goes back and forth.

In order to move the gripper depressing shaft 79, a lever 330 is provided with a horizontal upper edge attached thereto and extending under a pin 33i on a vertical slide 332, such that that the lever is long enough to allow the pen to travel the full length of the path of the Magazine slide 80 to stay with the lever 330 in contact.

The slide 332 carries slots 333 by means of which it. on stepped pins 334 protruding from the magazine frame. The card feed control cam 328 (Fig. 14), which is mounted on the shaft 162, carries a recess 335 which is in contact with a roller 336 on a lever 337 (Fig. 2), so that this member is raised, ' As soon as the pressure shaft 162 begins to rotate, and via arms 338, 339, link 340 and arm 341, a shaft 342 is moved which carries an arm 343 which lies on the slide 332 via a pin 344, whereby the latter is pulled down and . the pin 331 then moves the lever 330 which is connected to the gripper depressing shaft 79 and causes the gripper 34 to be depressed.

It can be seen that the first process when initiating the total printing process is the

The bright designation lever chamber P ι is after the first card of the new group has been scanned. This lifting transmits the movement to the adjustment rods 265, 266 and initiates the coupling of the counter actuation shaft 112 and the coupling of the pressure shaft 162 with the main shaft 73. As a result, the first card of the new group has already left the designation sensing lever chamber P ι before the pressure wave 162 begins to rotate. This card then enters the counter control lever chamber P 2 , and after the associated counter is set. work the. Tax funds further. Since the new card does not belong to the group in relation to which the sum is to be printed, but to the next group, it is undesirable that the counter selected by this card is immediately turned one further and the Actuation of the selected counter is delayed accordingly until after the total printing process. For this purpose, the counter actuation shaft 112 is kept inactive by the Bezeichnungwechselbeispielein direction until the point in time in the revolution in which the further rotation of the selected slide takes place.

When the counter actuation shaft 112 has started again after the total printing operation, this counter, which was selected before the total printing operation by the first card of the new group, is activated in order to count this card.

If the first card of the new group in the ¹ enters the Zä'hlersteuerhebelkammer P 2, the next sequential map enters the designation P ι lever chamber, and the gripper ¹ 34 is then

held out of action so that no more cards can follow. At the same time, the card stop 53 for the designation lever chamber P 1 is held in its upper position so that the card cannot leave the designation sensing lever canister.

It has been mentioned elsewhere that the card stopper for the label lever chamber is operated by an arm 61 attached to a card stop shaft 60 such that the arm 61 is moved by the action of a spring Ö5 "to raise the card stop 53. If the card stop 53 is raised in this way, the card stop shaft 60 is moved. A horizontal pawl arm 350 is attached to this shaft (FIGS Path of a pin 351 attached to a slide 352. The slide 352 rests on the horizontal member 340 which is under the action of the card feed control cam 328 on the pressure shaft 162. When the pressure shaft begins to rotate, the horizontal member 340 moves and the associated slide 352 towards the clincher arm 350 on the card stop shaft 60. At this point in time, however, the card stop is not yet complete at the top, and the pin 351 on the slider 352, which is connected to the link, engages the end of the Klkikenarmes 350, whereby the slider 352 is held back ¹ when the card stop is fully up, whereupon the slider moves under the action of a spring 353 until his pin 351 is under the latch arm 350 and thus prevents -that the card stop 353 goes down. '

The card stop 53 a for the counter control healable chamber P2 is normally withdrawn, however, since this card stop is actuated by a member 66 independently of the cam 62 α.

When printing the totals from the counters, it is desirable to use the number or the description the classification to which these sums refer, and it becomes this Designation preferably printed on the same line as the totals,

In order to print these designations, a designation printing device is provided at the left end of the group C of counters. This device includes type bars 354 (Fig. 24) similar to those of the counters. The type standard return rod 142 for group C is also used to control this. Type bars.

These designation printing type rods 354 are set by a stopper basket 355 which adjusted by the adjustment rods 265, 266 by changing the designation display device will. The adjustment rods are connected to parts 357 by Bowden cables 356, each of which is actually an extension of the corresponding Bowden cable, which through a spring 358 is pulled to the normal position, which spring is simultaneously used to retract the Cable is used.

When the first card of a group enters the label sensing lever chamber P 1 and is scanned, the setting of the adjustment rods 265, 266 is changed in accordance with the new label, and the new label is therefore set in the stop basket 355.

At this point, however, the previous designation has not yet been printed, and so has it it is therefore necessary to keep both the old and the new designation until the old one Label has been printed. In the present embodiment, the old name in the label printing type bars 354 and the new label in the stop basket 355 held.

The designation type rods 354 are provided with teeth 359 with which an alignment rod 360 cooperates by a cam 361 (Fig. 13, 24 and 25) on the pressure shaft in such a way it is controlled that the alignment rod is released during the first hold rotation of the pressure shaft and is detected again during the second half revolution of the pressure wave.

The alignment rod 360 is controlled by the cam 361 by the following device (Fig. 13, 24 and 25): At 380 there is a swiveling bracket 381 on the machine frame, which has a

Carrying roller 382 'with "NockreH ^v 36i'in" - is encryption • "bond, and at the other end 383 of this angular lever is connected to a bumper 384 which carries a collar 385 which is opposite the end of a limb 386, which is held for guidance in the longitudinal direction by slots. 387: into which fixed pins 388i. Engage. The rod 384 is surrounded by a spring 389 "which extends between a shoulder 390 on" the rod 384 and a stationary one "Nose 3840: extends through-which the rod 384 runs freely; endeavors to bring them into engagement with the teeth 359 of the type rods 354.

The alignment rod is brought back into engagement with the teeth 359 by the spring 393 at F.rei ⁴ -gäbe of the angle lever 381 by the cam 361. - · "'-

Each designation type rod 354 - is guided vertically displaceably in comb rods 362 - and is in the lower position by a spring-363 Forced (zero position), and an adjustment lever '364 cooperates with each type rod, such, - That the adjusting lever 364 between its ■ Ends at 365 on the frame is rotatably guided and at one end carries a pin 366 which under; a shoulder 367 on the associated type; rod protrudes.

A zero lock 369 rotatable at 370 'is provided for each set lever 364 and normally holds the set lever in the neutral position by engaging a shoulder 371 on the lock with a pin 372 on the set lever. - "When any stop in the assigned row is set, it detects an extension 373 of the zero closure 369 and rotates this through the pin 370, whereby the setting lever is released. -" ■ - '• ^r - For each setting lever ·; 304 "a vertical control slide 374 is provided, which is guided for vertical movement through the comb rods 375 and a rod 376 and carries a pin 377 which over the upper edge of the adjusting lever. 364 between '' see its pivot points 365 and the Type rod 354 lies in such a way that until the control slide 374 is moved out of its normal position, the setting of a stop 357 does not allow the setting lever to take up a setting from the tees, although the zero lock 569 "is released .-During: the "passage" of the cards; through the machine, the control slides 374 are held in their normal position by the type rod return rod 142 and therefore hold the setting levers 364 in their zero position. The label type bars 354 are held by the alignment bar 360 in positions which correspond to the label of the groups of cards which are running through the machine. The stop basket 355 also maintains the same setting.

When the first card of a new group enters the label lever chamber P 1 and is scanned, the new setting is made in the stop basket 355, and at the same time the change in label is displayed, whereby the pressure wave 162, as mentioned above, is started . '

During the first half revolution of the pressure shaft 162, the type return rod 142 releases the control slide free to influence by springs 363, which are attached to the adjustment levers 364 are, and the control slides in turn release the adjustment levers to receive the new setting from the stops 357. to at this point, however, the label type rod 354 is replaced by the alignment rod 360 in FIG 'held such positions which correspond to the preceding designation, since this previous designation has been printed during the half revolution of the pressure wave 162 which has just been is looked at.

The setting levers 364 therefore only move empty, do not accept a new setting and are returned to the zero position when the type rod return rod 142 to its normal position at the end of the first half revolution of the pressure wave 162 returns. Printing takes place when the return bar 142 is in the first half Rotation is fully raised, and after printing and during descent. the return bar 142 is the alignment rod 360 through • their. Cam 361 withdrawn so that the designation type bars are under the action of the adjustment levers. '

- During the first part of the second half revolution of the pressure shaft 162, the return rod releases 142 in turn the setting lever 364 free, and since the alignment bar 360 is disengaged, the label type bars 354 take the new one Setting on.

When the type adjustment rods 354 are fully adjusted, i. H. when the return rod 142 is fully raised, the alignment rod 360 is in turn by its cam 361 on the pressure shaft 162 detects and holds the type rods 354 in: the new position. However, this setting will not printed until the next change in the lao drawing takes place.

During the one revolution of the pressure wave, the card that follows the first card of the new group remains held in the labeling lever chamber P1 , and this continuously swings back and forth. Because this card is the second card one

multiple group, these repeated scans have no effect because of the new name was set in the fence basket 355 when the first card of the group was scanned and this setting from scanning the same designation from the next card remains unaffected.

However, if the card that produced the change in denomination is the only card in a group, the next following card is the first card in another group. At the beginning of the rotation of the pressure shaft 162, three groups can be included, i.e. the old group, the sum of which is currently being printed and whose name is recorded in the designation type bars 354 (group ^), the next group, the name of which is recorded in the stop basket 355 (Group B) and was set during the previous rotation when the first card of said next group B was scanned by the label sensing lever chamber P 1, and if the latter card forms a group within itself, the next group of which the first card is being scanned by the label sensing lever chamber Pi (group C). It is held in the designation sensing lever chamber P 1 through the total printing process, specifically in relation to the preceding penultimate group (group A), and is scanned with every oscillation of the sensing lever chamber P 1.

If this scanning had an effect, it would

the setting of the stop basket 355 can be changed, which, as already mentioned, at this point contains the name of the group (group B) which immediately follows that in relation to which the printing is currently taking place (group A), ie the group immediately after that previous one of which C is the first card in the label sensing lever chamber P r. Corresponding means under the control of the pressure wave 162 are provided in order to keep the means for setting the stop basket 355 out of operation during the total printing process. Preferably, this result is achieved by reducing the stroke of the oscillating beam 280, 282 of the comparison device so that, although the pins 262 in the fixed part 261 operate to set the label read from the card which is currently in the label feeler chamber Px is (Group C), this setting will not be transmitted to the adjustment rods 265, 266 or the fence basket 355 until the printing operation with respect to Group A has been completed.

For this purpose, the connecting rod 293 through which the oscillating beam 280, 282 the comparison device is moved back and forth, hinged at 394 to an arm 395 of an angle lever, whose other arm at 397 with a connecting rod 398 is pivotally connected by an eccentric 399 on the continuously rotating. Bush 113 is moved back and forth (Fig. Io, 22 and '. 23).

The disk 400 of the angle lever 395, 396 is freely arranged on a spindle 401, which between the two arms 402 of a U-shaped part is mounted, which is pivotable on a spindle 403 located in a block 404 carried by the fixed rod 260 (Figures 22 and 23). During the first counting cycles, the spindle: 401 is firmly against the arms 402 held by a forked abutment 405 which is attached to the lower end of a rod 406 is, the upper end of which runs through a rod 407 which is rotatable at 408 on the machine frame is (Fig. 11). The top of rod 406 is threaded and has two lock nuts! 409, on which the underside of the rod 407 rests.

On the spindle 313, which the pressure wave clutch claw 314 (Figs. 11 and 12) is a Roller 413 arranged, which when the pawl 314 is disengaged on a flange 414 of the rod 407 rests and holds it tight. However, when the pressure wave begins to rotate, it leaves Flange 414 thereby the abutment 405, so that the pin 401 for the angle lever 395, 396 does not is held longer. As a result, the eccentric 399 (Fig. 10) moves the U-shaped part 402, whereby the bell crank is moved with the part 402 and no effective movement on the carrier 280, 282 transmitted. Inevitably, the latter then does not transfer any setting to the adjusting rod 265, 266, and the setting of the stop basket 355 remains unchanged. The carrier 282 has a return spring 410 which extends between the part 283 of the carrier and a collar 410 a, which, is fixed to a rod 411, which runs with one end through the element 2S3 and with its other end 412 on the frame rod 216 is attached.

When the roller 413 meets the flange 414 of the rod 417 leaves and releases the abutment 405, the spring 410 offers a resistance against the opposite clockwise movement of the angle lever 395, 396. This resistance causes the pin 401 to rise so that no motion is transmitted to the bracket 282.

Towards the end of one revolution of the pressure shaft 162, the roller 413 moves the abutment 405 "° again in engagement with the spindle 401 for the Angle lever 295, 296, whereby the latter becomes effective again and the reciprocating movement of the Carrier 280, 282 of the comparison device initiated.

If the pressure wave 162 stops, the card gripper 34 can rise again and the card stop S3 for the label lever chamber P1 is released. Likewise, the counter actuating shaft 112 is again coupled to the bushings 113 and begins to revolve.

It is recalled here that after the individual card of group B has left the designation lever chamber P ι, the card enters the counter control lever chamber P 2 and the control device for the associated counter enters

although this counter did not work directly on the basis of the fact that the comparison ^{device additionally:} in addition to starting the pressure wave 162, also causes the counter actuation wave 112 to stop.

When the counter actuation shaft 112 again

ν starts up, the counter selected by the individual card in group B is moved one step further during its first rotation. At this time, there is no card in the counter control lever chamber P 2, because the group B card. has left this lever chamber at the beginning of the total printing process and the card stop 53 a for the counter control lever chamber P 2 remains unaffected by the change in the designation. During the first rotation of the shaft 112 after the total printing process in relation to group A , the first card of group 'C _1, which was held during the total printing process in the designation sensing lever chamber Pi, is scanned and continues to the counter control lever chamber P 2. At the same time , the second card of the group C enters the label lever chamber P 1 ^r . Of the

2.5 Change from group B to group C. triggers a further total pressure cycle, and to. At the same time, the designation of group C is set in the stop head 355, where it is recorded until the total for group B has been printed, after which the designation of group C is set on the type rods 354 and remains there, until the sum of group C has subsequently been printed . _ ■ ... ■: ■ - .; ■ .. '"-" ■ 7- ^

When, during the first revolution of the shaft 112 after the total of the group has been printed, the first card of the group C enters the counter control lever chamber P 2 , it selects the associated counter, which, however, is not actuated, Ms the total printing operation In - 'over with respect to group B. is that of changing from B to C

- was initiated. After the total of group B has been printed, the counter selected by the first card of group C is actuated and counts that card. This means that the second card of group C enters the meter control

_:; ■ lever box P 2, and the third card of the group C is in the Bezeiehnungsfühlhebelkammer P 1 such Daiss continuously card feeder and counting operations continue to run until it reaches the end of the group C.. ■ .. ■

Preferably the machine is both for sorting; of cards as designed for; counting the same, and the sorting process can, if desired, be done according to a field of the cards become, which differs from the field,

- - .. in relation to which · the count is carried out, or also · in relation to the same field. For this purpose a number of card receivers R 1

So provided up to Ri2 , in the guide rollers 415 (Fig.-r), _ which by gears. 416 ,, 417 from the

: -._: Shaft 73 are driven, transfer the cards after they have left the counter control lever chamber P 2 . These card receivers are, however, controlled by scanning pins 4 of the label sensing chamber P 1 with respect to the card field to which the sorting is based. For this purpose, an additional transmission device (not shown) is similar to the devices T 1 and T 2 . provided for the lever chamber P 1 and is placed on the card column from which the sorting is to be controlled. Each pickup R 1 and R 2 etc. is provided with a normally closed shutter ¹ 418 - which is attached to the shaft 419 (Fig. 1 and ' 2), which is under the action of the associated stylus 4 and a timing device.

In summary, this timing device comprises a number of pairs of slices. 420, each one Pair for each transducer, such that each pair of disks is rotated by wheels 421, 422 from the shaft 73. Each pair of disks carries six shutter actuation pins 423, which normally come from the plane of a corresponding closure actuation arm 424 are withdrawn. If, a tracer pen that is used by the transmission device for the control of the sorting process is assigned, finds a hole, one of the six pins 423 in the associated timing device in the plane of the lock actuator arm 425 advanced. then at the right time this pin moves arm 425, lifts latch 418 and feeds the card to the correct receiver. As in the case of the transmission device ^, the scanning pins are assigned which scan the designation field of the card, the transfer device for controlling the sorting processes is arranged so that they Can be moved lengthways of the map to sort by any column you want to make the card effective. i °°

It has already been explained elsewhere that at the beginning of the rotation of the pressure shaft 162 as a result of a change in designation, the first card of the new group is already in the counter control lever chamber P 2. Is interred '- Since the designation lever chamber P 1 is used to control the Kartensortieraufne'hmer, the associated transducer has already been selected with respect to the new map and its timer to be set to the activity before the total printing operation with respect to the previous group vervollstän ¹ Since the card stop for the counter control lever chamber is not influenced by the totalizing device and since the timing devices are driven directly by the main shaft and work during the entire totaling process, the first card of the new group runs out of the counter control lever chamber and is fed to the assigned pick-up before the total printing process is finished.

However, this process is without consequence because the sorting process is carried out according to such a card field which differs from the one according to which the count is made. The sums therefore do not need any on the counters

To be related to the number of cards that are fed to the various pickups. The counter CGT works to count every card that passes through the machine and is controlled by the following device: On the movable part of the lever chamber P 2 there is a follower pin 430 (FIG. 3), the upper end of which is at 431 on a lever 432 is pivotally mounted, which can rotate between its ends at 433 on the movable lever box frame. At its outer end 434, the lever 432 is rotatably mounted on a vertical slide 435 (FIGS. 3 and 26) which runs between the forked end of an arm 436 and is rotatably connected to it by a pin * 5 437 which is passed through the arms of the Fork and passes through a slot 438 in the slider.

The arm 436 rests firmly on an Ouerwelle 439 (FIGS. 3, 26 and 127), and at the other end of this shaft an abutment arm 440 is permanently arranged (FIGS. 26 and 27). On a protruding pillar on the movable lever box arms 2 α ·, 3 α an angle plate 242 is attached, which is guided on the fixed frame of the machine by means of a slot 443 which includes a pin 444. On a flange of the angle plate 445 there is pivotably a pawl 446 which is forced counterclockwise by a spring 447 and carries a nose 448 on the horizontal arm. The vertical arm of this angle lever in the position shown in FIG. 127 rests on a lug 449 on a lever 450 which is rotatable at 451 on the fixed angle 452 and carries a projection 453 which is located below a trigger 454 which, when it is raised Actuated Bowden cable 455, which is connected to the control device of the total sum collector CGT. When a card is in the lever chamber, the pin 430 is prevented by contact with the card from going to its extreme lower position, whereby the lever 432 is moved clockwise and pulls the slide 435 down against the action of a spring 456 and thereby rotating the lever 436 and shaft 439 clockwise in FIGS. This movement of the shaft 439 brings the lever 440 (Fig. 127) out of the way of the projection 448, so that the pawl 446 can run counter-clockwise under the projection 449 when the lever chamber P2 is lowered. Then, as the lever chamber P 2 rises, the vertical arm of the pawl 446 moves the lever 450 counterclockwise and actuates the Bowden cable 455 to operate the totalizer by means identical to that for all other meters. In the absence of a card, the pin 430 does not move with respect to the lever chamber and the lever 440 therefore remains in the path of the nose 448 on the pawl 446 preventing the latter from stepping under the protrusion 449. The Bowden cable 445 can then not work. The lever 432 also actuates the device which keeps the shutter 44 a of the lever chamber P 2 inoperative. A lever 461 passes through a slot 460 in the slide 435 and is rotatable on the stationary frame at 462 and connected by a spring 463 to the shorter arm 464 of a lock control lever, which is also pivotable at 462 on the stationary frame. The longer arm 467 of this lever is bent at a right angle, 468, and can stand in the path of the lock 44 a in order to prevent the latter from going back to the left (in FIG. 3) (see also FIG. 4). When a card is in the lever chamber P'2 , the slide 435 is pressed down, whereby the lever 464, 467 is rotated clockwise (in FIG. 26) and its end 468 moves out of the way of the shutter 44a . The total counters CTA, CTB, CTC, each belonging to a group, are actuated when any other counter in the corresponding group is operating. For this purpose a lock 480 is provided for each group (FIG. 28) which is rotatable at 481 and over which the ends of all control levers 121 in that group lie. Under the lock 480 lies the end of the control lever 4S2 for the totalizer of the group. Thus, if any counter in the group is set to cause its control lever to move, latch 480 will also operate control lever 482 for the group total counter.

In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the frame 20, which receives the two lever chambers P 1 and P 2 , is suspended like a hinge on two stub shafts 504, 505, so that it can be pivoted upwards out of the card path, around the Maps to be able to watch if necessary.
