SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 606,324, dated June 28, 1898.

Application filed October 26, 1892' $erial N0. 150,038. (N model.)

To all whom 2315 may concern.-

Be it known that we, WVILLIAM IV. I/VYTHE and WILLIAM H. WYTHE, citizens of the United States, residing at Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cash Indicators and Recorders, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,

forming part of this specification.

Our invention relates to that class of machines in which an indicating-dial is employed to indicate the amounts of the different sales and in which a printing device is employed [5 to print said amounts upon areeord-strip carried within the machine. Its novelty con sists in new combinations, arrangements, modes of operation,and mechanical constructions of the various parts employed, all as will be hereinafter set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of our improved machine with a portion of the front plate of 5 the casing broken away to expose the dial;

Fig. 2, a front elevation of the machine with the front plate of the casing and the dial removed,showingthe drawer-compartment and drawer in section; Fig. 3, a vertical section 0 through the middle of thecasing and drawercompartment, but showing the workingparts of the machine in elevation; and Fig. l, a horizontal section approximately on the line 4: l of Fig. 2.

3 5 The same numbersand letters of reference are used to indicate identicalparts'in all the figures.

The casing of the machine, whichincloses the working parts, is mounted upon a base A,

40 which contains a drawer-compartment, havin g fitted in it a sliding money-drawer B, which is locked in its closed position by means hereinafter described, and is automatically thrown open, when unlocked, by the action N of a coiled spring C, which is connected at its forward end to the base of the machine and at its rear end to a lever D, Figs. 2 and 3, which is pivoted at one end in a slotted lug E, secured to the base, and carries at its opposite end a friction-roller which bears against a plate F upon the under side of the drawer. The shape of the casing is shown in the horizontal section in Fig. 4, where it will be seen that it consists of a narrow front portion extending transversely across the base and composed of a front plate G and abackplate II, having the side plates I integral with it, and a rearwardly-extending portion J, located at right angles to the front-portion and communicating with the latter through an ()0 opening 11 at its lower forward corner, Figs. 2, 3, and 4:.

Journaled in the front and back plates Gr II of the forward portion of the casing is a shaft 2, having fast upon its front end, out- 6 5 sidethe casing, an operating-handle 8 and a pointer 4-, adapted, when the handle and shaft are turned, to travel over a series of numbers arranged in a circle upon the face of the front plate G, Fig. 1. Fast upon the shaft 2, immediately in rear of the front plate G, is a circular dial 5, bearing a series of indicatingnumbers arranged in a circle around its edge and adapted to be exposed singly through a glass-covered window or sightopening Gin 7 5 the front plate of the casing. The numbers upon the dial correspond to those upon the front plate over which the pointer f travels, and the adjustment of the parts is such that whenever the operating-handle is turned until the pointer is brought over a given number the corresponding number upon the dial will be brought opposite the sight-opening 0. Thus, to make an indication, the operator grasps the knob of the handle 3 and turns the shaft until the pointer is brought to the desired number.

Fast upon the shaft 2 in rear of the dial is a type-wheel 7, bearing in relief a series of IOO to it a spring 42", which yieldingly presses the roller against the disk 41. The depressions in the disk ii correspond to the indicating and type numbers, and whenever a given number is brought to the indicating and printing points the engagement of the roller 48 with one of the depressions in the disk -ct1 yicldingly holds the parts in proper position.

Carried upon a shaft 8, mounted at its ends in the side plates of the rearwardly-extending portion J of the casing, Fig. 3, is a ratchetwheel 8, having a hub 9 and a llange or drum 10 secured to it. This ratchetwheel may be either loose upon the shaft S or be fast upon it and the latter be free to revolve. Loosely mounted upon the hub 0 oi the ratchetavheel and free to be unwound therefrom is a rollof-paper record-strip 10, which is led forward beneath a guide-rod 12, Fig. 3, thence over said rod to the right around a roller 13, Fig. 2, thence upward over a roller 14: and a platen 15, carried by a printing-lever 20, thence over a roller 16 on said lever and d own ward around a roller 17, thence to the leit beneath a guiderod 18, and thence over said rod and to the rear around the drum 1!) on the ratchet-wheel 8, Fig. The ratchet-wheel is turned step by step at each operation of the machine by the means hereinafter described to draw the record-strip from its snpply-roll past the pri n ting-point and wind it upon the drum 1.).

The printingdever 20 is actuated at each op eration of the machine to el'i'ect the printing by means of a three-armed lever 45, pivoted at K to a support L, projecting forward from the wall ll of the casing, Fig. The horizontal arm of this lover has pivoted to it a trip 26, which cooperates with the arm 98 of the printing-levcr 20. W'hen the lever 4-5 is rocked so that its arm is thrown upward, the trip 2!; will lilt the arm 29 of the printing-lever 20, being prevented from yielding in that direction by a pin F37, and will move the upper end of said lever and ihe platen 1? to the right against the pressure of a spring 22, which bears against said lever, and when the trip 26 has cleared the end oi. the arm 28 the spring 53; will throw the lever 20 to the left, and the momentum thus imparted to the whiting-lever will cause the platen '15 to carry the record-strip against the type-number which is then at the printing-point and print such number upon the strip. A counterweight 2i secured to an arm of the lever :30 opposite the arm 28, returns the lover and platen to normal position after the printing has been el'tected by the action of the spring 93 and yieldinglyholds them in such position. When the lever 15 is rctu rncd to initial position and its arm 25 thrown downward again, the beveled end. of the trip 26 will ride over the end of the arm 28 and reengage the latter when it has passed below it, a spring bearing against the under side oi. the trip operating to reset it.

The types upon the typo-wheel 7 are inked after they have been brought to the 'u-intingpoint by an inking-roller 3:", carried in supports hung to an arm 3], loose upon the shaft 2. A pin 33 projects from the rear side of the arm 31 near its upper end, and the engagement of this pin with the upper end ol. the printing-lever 20 holds the arm 31 in normal position with the inking roller above the printing-point and out of the way of the platen, but when the upper end of the print-- ing-lever 20 is thrown to the right in the manner above described the arm 3 l. is rel cased and the roller 32 travels downward until the pin 33 strikes a pin 3t, projecting from the lever 20. The travel thus permitted the arm 31 is suliicient to carry the roller 32 over the type-i'iumber, which has been brought to the printing-point and cause it to ink the type. 'When the printing-lever 20 is thrown to the left again by the spring 22, as heretofore de scribed, the engagement of the upper end ol. the lever with the pin 2-33 will carry the arm 31 and hiking-roller back to initial position and out of the path of the platen 15.

The lever 41.5 has an operatiiig-handlo 20, secured to the lower end oi its curved lower arm it and projecting out through a slot in the front wall of the casing, and at each op eration ot'the machinethis handlefli) is thrown to the right by the clerk or operator to oscillate the lever i5 and ell'ect the printing, and when the handle is released it and the lever are reset by a spring 30, connected to the lower end of the lever. This movement of the handle 29 will also cause the ralelmt wheel 8 to be turned to wind up the recent strip upon the drum 1?) by means ot a pawl 37, pivoted to the rear end of a sliding rod 30, Figs. 33 and at, whose front end is pivoted to the left-hand end of an arm 35, Fig. l, whose right-hand end is pivoted in a support on the rear wall it elf the casing and which has at its 1clthand end a proiecting portion 35, which presents an inclined beveled surface to a lug 38 upon the upper edge of the arm Moi? the lever-l5. lVhen thisend oi. the lever is thrown to the right by the handle 35;, the lug 538 will engage the n'oiection $35 and force the lelthand end of said arm and the sliding rod 331; to the rear and cause the pawl 85 to turn the ratchet-wheel 1- "llhen the handle 29 is released and reset by the spring 30, the arm 35 and rod 336 will be reset by a coiled spring 3!), which surrounds the rod 311 and is confined between its fixed guide lll and a shoulder upon the rod, Fig. 3. in this manner each time the handle Bil is thrtnrn to the right the ratchet-wheel B "will be turned to bring a blank portion ol. the record-strip to the printing-point, while the arm 25 of the lever 15 is retracting the printing-levtw pro paratory to the printing, and the adjustmenl of the parts is such that the printing-lever will be released. and thrown to the left by the spring 22 to el'fect the printing belore the stroke of the handle 2. to the right is completed, so that the l'ftl-Olllfliflt'llGel. will be moved to advance the record-strip before the printing is effected.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that the operation of this much of the machine consists in turning the operating-han dle 3 until the pointer 4 is brought to the desired number upon the front plate of the casing and then throwing the handle 29 to the right. The turning of the pointer 4 to the number on the casing will bring the corresponding number on the dial to a position opposite the sight-opening 6 and the same number upon the type-wheel to the printingpoint, while the movement of the handle 29 will advance the record-strip and cause the amount indicated by the dial to be printed upon said strip.

The lever 42*,which carries the roller 42, cooperating with the disk 41, is provided at its left-hand end with a hook 43, which cooperates with a lug 44 upon the lever 45. Then the roller 42 is resting in one of the depressions in the disk 41, the spring 42 holds the hook above the lug 44; but whenever the roller 42 rests upon one of the raised spaces between two of the depressions in the disk 41 the hook 43 is thrown downward over the lug 44 and in such position locks the lever 45 from movement. This necessitates the moving of the pointer 4 to a position exactly opposite some one of the numbers on the casing, and consequently the bringing of the corresponding numbers upon the dial and type-wheel to exact indicating and printing positions before the handle 29 can be moved to advance the record-strip and effect the printing.

Mounted upon the wall H of the casing is a gong 49, arranged to be sounded by a striker 49, pivoted to said wall and actuated by a pin 48 on the arm 24 of the lever 45. When the handle 29 is thrown to the right, the pin 48 will raise the striker, and when the handle is released and reset by the spring 30 the striker will drop against the gong and sound it.

The money-drawer B is held in its closed position by a latch- arm 47, 4, which is provided near its front end with a notch cooperating with a catch-plate 47" upon the drawer, a spring 47 yieldingly holding the latch-plate in locking position. A short distance from itsfront end the latch-arm 47 has secured to or formed upon it an upwardlyprojecting arm 47, which extends through a slot in the top of the base A into position to be engaged by the right-hand end of an arm 46, Figs. 2 and 4, which is pivoted to the lower arm 24 of the lever 45. \Vhenever the handle 29 is thrown to the right, as before de scribed, the arm 46 will carry the latch-arm 47 to the right and disengage it from the catchplate upon the drawer and release the latter, whereupon the drawer will be thrown open by the spring 0, heretofore described. When the drawer is pushed in again, the plate 47 will reengage the notch in the latch 47 and the drawer become relocked.

It is desirable in machines of this class to provide means for hiding the numbers upon the indicating-dial While the latter is being moved to effect a new indication, and we have devised a novel automatic screen for that purpose. As shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, there are loosely mounted upon the shaft 2, between the front plate G and the dial 5, two sector- plates 51 and 52, projecting beyond the edge of the dial and adapted to be oscillated back and forth behind the sightopening 6. Each of these plates has secured to its rear side, near its upper end, a spring 53, Fig. 3, which bears at its lower end against the rear side of the dial or carries a frictionblock which bears against the dial. These springs form a frictional connection between the plates and the dial, and cause the dial to carry the plates with it in either direction in which it is moved, so far as the limit of movement of the plates will permit. The two plates overlap each other ad jacent to the shaft 2, but are held apart at their outer ends by a projection 55 upon the plate 52, Fig. 1. In the latter figure the plate 52 is in approximately its extreme right-hand position and the plate 51 in its right-hand position imme diately behind the sight-opening 6. The two plates are capable of movementtoward the left far enough to bring the plate 52 into the position occupied by the plate 51 in Fig. 1 and carry the latter to the left of the sight-opening, the plates being limited in their movements by engagement with the side platesI of the casing. The plate 51 has upon its rear side a pin 54, which projects into the path of travel of the upper end of the lever 45, Fig. 2, and when that end of the lever is thrown to the left by the movement of the handle 29 to the right it will carry the plate 51 with it and expose to View the number upon the dial, which is at that time behind the opening 6. Thus in Fig. 1, if the operating-handle 3 be turned until the pointer 4 is brought to the number 15 on the front plate of the casing, the number 15 upon the dial will be brought opposite the opening (3, but will remain hidden by the plate 51. Upon throwing the handle 29 to the right, however, to effect the printing and to open the cash-drawer, the upper end of the lever 45 will carry the plate 51 to the left and expose the number 15 at the opening 6. If the operating-handle be now turned back ward, the screen-plate 52 will be carried to the left by the dial and brought behind the si ght-openin g 6. There is no means provided for moving the plate 52 to the right again except by turning the dial in that direction,

and this will carry the screen 51 to the right and bring it behind the sight-opening, where it will remain until the handle 29 is moved to the right again, as before described. It will thus be seen that in making a new indication the operatinghandle and dial must always be turned to the right or clockwise, for if turned in the opposite direction the plate 52 will be carried behind the sight-opening and hide the numbers upon the dial, and the latter must then be turned to the right in order to get the late 52 away from the sightopening. Thus in Fig. l, with the pointer and dial at the number 2 if the next amount to be indicated and recorded should be ninety the handle and dial must be given nearly a complete revolution to the right and the pointer brought to the number 90, whereupon the plate 51 can be turned to the left by operating the handle 29 and the number 9O on the dial be exposed at the opening (5, whereas if it be attempted to indicate said number by simply turning the handle to the left until the pointer at is brought opposite the number the plate 52 will be carried behind the opening (5 and hide the number on the dial.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that at the end of each operation of the machine the screen-plates 51 and stand upon oppositesides of the sight-opening 6, and that to make a newindication the handle and parts moved by it must be turned to the right and the plate 51 be carried behind the sight-opcning and the plates 51 be then thrown to the left again to expose the new number on the dial. By providing the shaft 2 with a ratchet and codperating pawl, which would prevent bacluvard movement of the shaft and always compel it to be turned to the right or clockwise, the plate 52 might be dispensed with, for after an indication had been made in the manner before described, the plate 51 would always be carried to the right behind the sight-opening at the beginning of the forward movement; of the handle and dial and remain there until thrown to the left again by the operation of the handle 2.). On the other hand, if the machine were provided with means to compel the handle and dial to be moved backward to initial position. before a new indication could bemade, as are some machines of this class, the plate Fl might be dispensed with and the plate 52 be employed alone and operated solely by its frictional connection with the dial. In such case it would he carried to the left behind the sight-opening at the beginning of the backward movement of the handle and dial, and would be carried to the right again as they were moved forward from initial position, as will be readily understood; but in such case while the numbers upon the dial would be hidden by the plate during the backward movement of the dial they would be exposed to view during its forward movement.

As far as we are aware we are the first in the art to provide either a rotary or an oscillat-ory indicating-dial with a screen-plate operated either wholly or in part by a frictional connection with said dial, and we desire to secure such combination as our invention whether it be employed in a machine in which it is nec ssary to return the dial to initial position at each operation or in a machine in which such return is unnecessary.
