AFRANK IVOODBRIDGF., OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA,
CASH-REGISTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 618,491, dated January 31, 1899.
Application filed July 30, 1897. Serial No. 646,443. (No model.)
To all whom, t may concern,.-
le it known that I, FRANK W OODBRIDGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cash-Registers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to cash indicators and recorders; and it particularly relates to the devices set forth and described in my prior patent, No. 585,996, dated July G, 1897.
My invention consists in the constructions and combinations of parts hereinafter described, and set forth in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a sectional view in the nature of aplan of a device embodying` my invention, some of the parts being broken away so as to show a section on a different elevation in order to more clearly illustrate the constructions. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View through the indicator chamber or compartment, showing the devices for operating the indicators. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken at one side of the outer casing, the indicating-chamber being broken away and shown in section on a different plane from the section of the main casing. Fig. t is a front view, partly broken away, of the indicatorchan1ber- Fig. 5 is a sectional view in detail of a portion of the same. Fig. G is a longitudinal sectional view of the casing, showing the operating mechanism from the rear. Fig. 7 is a detail view in perspective of the drawer-locking device. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the printing and recording devices and connected parts in detail. Fig. 9 is a perspective View of the same parts, showing the arrangement of the printing-strip.
Lilie parts are represented by similar letters of reference in the several views.
In the said drawings, a represents an outer work which supports the operating parts. The drawer when released is adapted t0 be opened by a spring b4, which is connected at one end to the casing a and at the other to a lever h5, which is pivoted at o to one side of the casing and connected at its other or free end by a link o7 to the rear of the drawer, preferably near the center, the link bl being vpivoted at each end, so as to compensate for the movement of the outer end of the lever h5, which moves in the arc of a circle, while the drawer moves in a straight line. The lever b5 is preferably provided with openings 118, into which the end of the spring b4 may be connected, as shown in Fig. 1, so as to vary the tension of the spring, Aand thus the pressure which is applied to the drawer in openin Within the casin g a an d above the drawercompartment a are the cash-keys c, which are preferably pivoted on a common rod c', supported at the front of the casing and provided at the outer extremities with numbered buttons c2 in the usual manner. These keylevers extend inwardly,preferabl y at an angle toward the center, and are each formed at the ends on different angles, as shown at c3 and in the manner described in my prior patent. These levers are adapted to operate upon a pivoted vertically-movable frame d, preferk ably formed of cross-bars d and longitudinal bars cl2 and having a central shaft d3, adapted to slide vertically in slotted openings e in the vertical frame -pieces c, in the manner described in my prior patent referred to. rlhe shaft cl3 is extended at one end, so as to pass through the frame-piece c, and there is mounted loosely on the shaft a sector di, which is numbered around on the ou ter periphery with numbers corresponding with the numbers on the cash-keys.
As in the device shown in my prior patent, there is mounted on the rod d3 a movable head or traveler j", having vertical arms f', bearing at their lower ends on the longitudinal frame-rods cl2, on which they are adapted to slide. The upper ends of the vertical arms f are pivotally connected to arms f 3, extending from a sleeve f2 on a rod d, connected to the shaft d3 by arms d5, and the shaft d6 being adapted to travel through the slotted openings c in the Vertical frame-pieces c. A
s )ring 4 tends to ress the traveler longil s. P c
tudinally on the shaft (Z3, which, however, is held by the pivoted pawl f5, which engages in the respective notches (ZT on the shaft (Z3, all the parts being constructed and adapted to operate substantially in the manner described in my prior patent. To provide, however, for moving the sector tZ1 in unison with the traveler f, but to a slightly-less degree, l connect the 'sector d* by a pivoted link (ZS to a lever-arm (Z9, one end of which is pivoted at (ZW to one of the cross-bars d and the lower end connected by a pivoted link CZ to the traveler f. ln order that the sector d" will always assume the same angular position as this vertically-movable frame, l also extend one of the rods (Z2 and provide the sector (Z4 with an extension (ZN, which is bifurcated or perforated to receive the extension of the rod (Z9. The result of this construction is that as the frame is turned to any angular position about the shaft (Zi3 the sector assumes the same angular position as do the vertical bars The sector (ZL is further provided with an extended hub CZ, which is adapted, as the sector is moved laterally along the rod (Z3, to engage in a loop Zr) in a vertically-sliding rod or bar Zim, which terminates at its lower end in a narrow projecting foot Z111, which slides in a bearing in the projection Z and below the spring-catch ZJ of the drawer, the foot Zin being adapted to raise the spring-catch out of engagement with the lug or projection ZP when the sliding bar b1" is raised.
As in my prior patent, the traveler is adapted to move laterally in successive stages after each elevation of the frame CZ, which is caused by the operation of any of the keys, and this successive lateral movement is accomplished by Ythe stationary bar c3, having notches cL in the top thereof arranged adjacent to and corresponding to the notches (Z7, with the exception that the notches c.'L are arranged slightly in advance of those (Zi. ln the normal position the pawl engages with the end of the bar e3; but as soon as the frame is raised the pawl is withdrawn from contact with the notches e'l and the traveler moves until the pawl engages with the first notch (Z7. As the frame descends the pawl striking on the top of the bar is withdrawn from the notch (ZT and the traveler moves to the second notch e4 in the bar, this operation being repeated after each successive elevation of the frame until the traveler is moved the prescribed distance along the rod (ZS, when the hub (Z13 enters the loop Zr, and on the next elevation of the frame the drawer is unlocked and opened by the spring Zyl.
It will be understood that the pivoted vertically-movable frame will not only bc moved vertically by the depression of any one of the cash-keys, but by reason of the different angles given to the ends of the key-levers the frame will also be turned to a different angle. This, as before mentioned, changes the position of the sector DI and also the position of the upper ends of the vertical arms f.
At the top of the casing a and ina plane above the arms f is a series of lever-arms (j, which are pivoted in a line vertically above the shaft (Z3 and the rod d, preferably on a common rod y. Each of these levers g has resting on or connected to one end thereof an extension gi of a rack These rack extensions g2 are offset from the racks to which they are connected, so that the racks stand' farther apart than the levers g, as is clearly shown in Fig. Each of these racks engages in a pinion g4, which pinions are connected directly to rotary indicators g5, which are mounted in the indicatiiig-chamber d2 at the top of the main casing a. These indicators each have numbers on their respective faces corresponding to the numbers on the keys, preferably from O to 0,and each indicator represents a different denomination, such as dollars, dimes, and cents. The vertical arms f, when the pawl-lever is in engagement with the first notch (Z7, would stand below the first lever g, or the one farthest to the left-in looking from the front of the machine, which corresponds to dollars. As the ends of the arms f/ assume the saine angular position as the frame these arms in contacting with the respective levers g will cause them to assume the saine angular position on the pivotal center (j, and this will produce a greateror less movement of the rack g2, which will in turn produce a greater or less movement of the indicating-disk g, attached to the pinion g4. These disks are so arranged with reference to each other that the numbers thereon are adapted to appear in successive order through an opening c3 at the front of the indicating-chamber a2, so as to expose the number corresponding to thc key depressed.
ln order to provide for exposing the numbers at the rear ot the machine as well as at the front, l provide in the indicating-chamber, at the rear, an openin g c" and a duplicate set of indicating-disks fj To each of these disks, except the middle or dimes, there is connected a pinion gl, which is mounted on the same stationary shaft /S that supports the respective pinions g4. The dollars-indicating wheel at the front is connected to the dollars-indicating wheel at the rear by a double rack g,which engages with the respective pinions g'i and gT and which extends horizontally through the indicating-chamber d2 and is offset, as shown in Figs. 2 and C, the units and cents indicator at the front being connected to the units and cents indicator at the rear by a similar double rack gw.' These racks are preferably offset at the center in a vertical plane, so that the center portions of the respective double racks stand one above the other, the construction being such that the front and rear indicating-disks representing the same denominations move in unison, the middle and dimes indicators being connected to the same shaft, and therefore turn in unison.

The printing or recording is accomplished as follows; Immediately above the sector dAt and supported from the upper part of the casing is a snpport7t, the lower end of which is a stationary platen 7L and at each side of which there are guides 7L2 for the tape or paper on which the printing is to be done. This paper is drawn from a roll j, mounted in a suitable casing, and extends over a guidej?, thence under the platen 72,7 and between feeding-rollsy'jA1 and into a receiving-ca'singj. The inking-ribbon is adapted to extend below the paper and preferably at right angles thereto and is fed from one spool 7a, thence oversnitable supportin g-rollers 7d 7t2,arran ged at an angle to each other, and onto a second spool 7e3, which is preferably mounted on the same shaft with the spool 7s. The spools 7c and 7a3 are preferably provided with ratchets 7a4 at their adjacent ends, either of which ratchets is adapted to be engaged by a pawl 7t5, attached loosely at one end to a slide k6, mounted in a post 757. The post k7 is slotted laterally to receive a sliding cam-plate 7t8, which is pivoted at one end to a lever 7s on a vertical shaft m. This shaft m is provided near the bottom with an arm m', which is offset so as to project into the compartment d', immediately above the cash-receptacle 7), the free end of said arm being formed in the nature of a cam m2, adapted to be engaged by a projection m3 on the drawer as the same is opened and closed, and thus produce an 0scillating movement of the arm m and the shaft m.l The shaft m is further provided with a projecting finger m4, which stands adjacent to the frame c7 and in line with a projection f on the travelerf. rlhe shaft 'm is provided with still another spur or projection m5, arranged near the top thereof and adjacent to a head m6 on the end of a sliding bar m7, which is adapted to be moved in one direction by a spring m8. The head m on the bar m7 carries a pawl m, which engages' with a ratchet-wheel j@ on the end of the pivoted feeding-roll js.
The operation of the device is as follows: Then any one of the keys is depressed, the inner inclined end of the key contacting with the rods C72 of the frame c7 turns the frame until it assumes an angle corresponding to the inclination of the key-lever. As the key is still further depressed the frame is elcvated. The turning of the framehas brought the number on the sector 67'* corresponding to the key opposite the stationary platen 7L', and as the frame is elevated the number is printed onto the recording-strip. The arms j" contact with the lever g ofthe hundreds and the pawlf, coming on top of the bar c3, is released from the notch (77 and the traveler is moved by the spring f1 to the second position, or until the pawl on the traveler engages with the second notch of the bar e3. lf another key is now depressed, the operation will be repeated. At the first upward movement of the frame the pawl on the traveler will be released by the bar e3 and moved until it engages with the notch C77 of the rod (73, and the vertical arms f will engage with the second lever g-that is to say, the lever for the tens or dimes indicators, and these indicators set according to the key. At the same time the sector 7, having been moved laterally by the movement of the traveler, will be brought in contact with the recordingstrip, so as to print the amount of this key at the side of the amount previously recorded. lf any one of thekeys is again depressed, the operation will be again repeated, and this time the hub C713 of the sector C74 having been brought into the loop b9 the raising of the frame will release the drawer by withdrawing the spring-catch 7J' from the projection b2 aud the drawer will be opened by the spring 714, operating through the lever Zand the link 71". ln opening the projection m3 on the drawer will pass by the end m2 of the arm m. As the drawer is closed the projection m3 engages with the lever m2 and moves the same laterally. This oscillates the shaft 'm and through the medium of the various arms or projections thereon produces the following results: The arm m4 engages with the projection f6 on the traveler and moves the traveler back to its normal position, where it is held by the pawl engaging the end of the bar e3. The projection m5 engages the projection m6 of the bar m7 and causes the pawl m9 to engage with the ratchet-wheel js and moves the feeding-rolls jg and jf so as to advance the recording-strip to a position to receive the next succeeding amount to be registered. The projection kg operates the cam-plate 7.18, so as to raise the slide 757, and thus operate the pawl 705 to move the receiving-spool for the inking-ribbon, and thus advance the ribbon to a new position. As the drawer passes the odset of the lever m a spring m10 returns said lever to its normal position, when the machine is again in position for another registration.
It will be seen from the above description kthat I provide a machine in which amounts of different denominations maybe registered by the same keyboard. It an amount less than a dollar is to be registered, the first operation would be to strike the zero-key. lf an amount less than a dime is to be registered, the zero-key would be operated twice to bring the devices into position to operate the units or cents indicators and recorders.
The drawer opens only on the last operation,
and the closing of the drawer returns the parts to their normal positions. The pawl 7s" is preferably formed with sufficient lateral IOO IIO
movement to enable it to move laterally to engage with the ratcliets 751 on either one of the spools 7c or k3, so that the ribbon may be Wound from one spool to the other and back again by simply shifting the pawl 755 and Without rewinding.
Having thus described my invention, I claiml. The combination with the verticallyniovable frame consisting of pivoted crossbars and cash-keys to operate same, a tiaveling head adapted to move on said frame, the sector movable with said frame and the connection to said traveling head, subst-antially as specified.
