Scarsdale, and Herbert McLean Purdy, New York, N. Y., and Eugene Letsch, Union City, N. J., assignors' to General Register Corporation, Philadelphia, Pa.. a corporation of Pennsylvania Beflled for abandoned application Serial No. 417,181, October 15, 1920. This application 18, 1931, Serial N0. 531,039 /g 53 Claims. (0;. 101-66) This application was originally filed October 15, 1920 under Serial No. 417,181.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved ticket printing, issuing, and accounting machine, more especially designed for use by ticket agents issuing tickets for various purposes, more particularly, however, for the use of railroads, steamships, ferries, and other transportation concerns.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a machine which will print and issue tickets in complete form ready for handing to passengers on demand without any operations or adjustments Y being first performed by hand or by machine after passenger has called for ticket; and thus to save time of both the ticket selling clerk and the passenger, and thereby permitting the handling of a large number of passengers in a given time.

Another object is to provide a ticket machine which automatically prints and issues tickets ready for delivery to passengers, the act of delivery of one ticket causing the printing of another ticket automatically and the moving of said second ticket into position ready for delivery to another passenger.

Another object of the invention is to account for the tickets issued, as to the number of tickets sold and the total amount of money collected, providing for each destination or kind of ticket such an account for tickets issued within the daily working time or shift of any ticket selling clerk, in addition to such an account cumulative over the ticket oflice general accounting period, elim- F inating the necessity of progressive book records and arithmetical calculations mentally and otherwise.

Another object is to provide accounting means which shows the number of tickets issued and amounts of money to be accounted for in two divisions, one for the ticket selling clerk's daily working time or shift, and the other for the ticket oflice general accounting period, or to provide accounting means whichcarries such accounts for each destination or kind of ticket separately and distinctly from those of any and all other destinations and kinds of tickets.

Another object of the invention is to eliminate the expense, labor, time, and responsibility heretofore involved in having tickets of varying destinations and kinds in large variety printed and numbered in advance, whereby they have been made of value for audit purposes, necessitating protection under lock and key, and counting through and recording in stock-books on receipt "from printer, in distributing to clerks, in auditing,

etc., an effort to prevent sales out of consecutive order with failure to account for money collected until order was reached.

Another object of the invention is to obtain immunity from total disablement of the machine res'ulting from failure of any single mechanism, by providing independence of the mechanism for printing, issuing, and accounting for any one destination or kind of ticket from the mechanism for printing, issuing, and accounting for any and all other destinations and kinds of tickets: and, further, in case of failure of the common driving power, to provide means for hand operation of each independent mechanism.

Another object of the invention is to provide a machine of a design to which additions to meet growing requirements as to destinations or kinds of tickets to be issued may be made without relative changes of the machine parts throughout.

Another object of the invention is to provide a machine which occupies a small amount of oflice space in relation to the number of destinations or kinds of tickets provided for, and the size of tickets issued.

The machine is more particularly designed for producing tickets generally known as local", that is, tickets which consist of one coupon only for one-way trips over lines of an issuing raiiroad, for instance; or of two coupons for return trips over the lines of the issuing railroad. The same principle as is applied in providing tickets of two coupons for return trips may be applied. for providing tickets of two coupons for a single trip in the one general direction where more than one coupon is needed on account of more than one railroad carrying the'passenger upon such trip, or may be applied for providing tickets oi three, four, or more. coupons, one way or return. The invention as a whole is adaptable to use in issuing tickets for other than railroad uses, as for admission to theatres and other places of amuse tionconsists of certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is rep resented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar char acters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

General construction The ticket printing, issuing, and accounting machine is mounted on a suitably constructed casing provided with tiers of cells 5| open at the front and each containing a removable ticket producing unit, each unit being adapted to produce a complete ticket 52 from a blank strip of ticket paper 53 (see Figure 34), or a complete ticket 54 from 'a partly printed strip of ticket paper 55 (see Figure 35) as hereinafter more fully explained. Each unit produces tickets for one distant station, and the several units of the machine embrace the different stations along one .or more routes. Thus each ticket 52 or 54 has printed thereon the usual ticket body matter 56 including the issuing station and the station of the dmtination 51, the fare 58, the issuing date 59, an identification character 60 of the issuing station, and a ticket number 5|. The ticket shown in Figure 34 is printed wholly on a blank strip of paper. The ticket 54 has its body a 56 printed on the strip of paper by another machine while the issuing station, the destination, the price, date, identification character, and the ticket number are supplied by the unit. The strip of ticket paper 53 (or 55) unwinds from a. roll or spool 62 (Figures 5 and 31) journaled in a bracket 53 removably held on a retaining lug 64 attached to the rear portion of the base 65 of a main framework of a unit, and which framework slidingly fits into a corresponding cell 5|. The framework 66 is provided at one side of its rear portion with a sliding door 51 (Figures 4 and 31) to permit of conveniently removing 'a bracket 63 carrying an empty spool 52 and re-' placing it by another with a roll of blank ticket paper. The strip of ticket paper 53 (or 55) extends from the roll 62 forward in the'lower portion of the framework 66.

Power driving mechanism In the base portion of the casing 50 is mounted a suitable motor 10, preferably of the electrical type, and having the rear end of its shaft II (see Figures 1 and 2) connected by a gear wheel l2 rear of the casing 58. On the shaft 14 are se-- cured gear wheels 88, one at each tier 5|, and each "gear wheel 88 is in mesh with a gear wheel 85 secured on a transversely extending shaft 82 journaled in suitable, bearings arranged on a support 83 attached to or forming part of the rear of the casing 58. Thus a transverse shaft 82 is provided for driving the several units held 'in a tier 5I of the casing 58. For-the purpose mentioned each shaft 82 is provided with gear wheels 85, one for. each unit, and each in mesh with a gear wheel 86 formed or secured on a shaft 81 journaled in a bearing 88 arranged on the support 83 (see Figure 4). Each shaft is provided at its forwardpend with a clutch member 88 adapted to be engaged by a clutch member 98 mounted to turn with and to slide on the rear end of a shaft 9| journaled in suitable bearings 92 (see Figure 6a) secured to the main framework 66 of the corresponding unit. One end of a spring 94 presses the clutch member 88 rearwardly into firm engagement with the clutch member 89, and the other end of the said spring 94 abuts against a collar 86 secured on the shaft SI. On the shaft 9i is secured a gear wheel I88 in mesh with a gear wheel I8I secured on a shaft I82 journaled in a bearing I83 attached to the main framework 66 of the unit. On the shaft I82 is secured a bevel pinion "I84 in mesh with a bevel gear wheel I85 having its hub I86 (see Fig- .ures 7 and 8) mounted to rotate loosely on an enlarged portion I81 forming part of a shaft I88 (see Figure 6a) journaled in suitable bearings I 88 arranged on the unit framework 66. The hub I 86 of the gear wheel I85 is adapted to be connected with the enlarged portion I81 of the shaft I88 by the use of a clutch or coupling member I I8 of half round shape and provided at one end with a trunnion I-I2 (seeFigure 11) journaled in a flange III forming part of the enlargement I81 of the shaft I88. The half round clutch or coupling member II8 extends into a correspondingly shaped recess II5 formed in the enlarged portion I81 of the shaft I 88 and is adapted to be rocked to move in a recess H6 formed in the hub I86 to lock the latter to the enlarged portion I81 with a view to rotate the shaft I88 from the gear wheel I85. Normally the clutch member 8 has its fiat portion out of engagement with'the recess I I6 and hence the gear wheel I85 rotates loosely on the enlarged portion I81 of the shaft I88, and the latter remains at a standstill. When, however, the clutch member H8 is rocked and extends partly into one of the recesses II6 then the shaft I88 is driven from the gear wheel I85.

Clutch controlling devices Inorder to rock the clutch member II8 the following arrangement is made: The trunnion II2 of the clutch or coupling member H8 is provided with an arm I28 pressed on by a spring" iliary framework I33 attached to or forming part secured a feeler arm I34 provided with a rounded of the unit framework 66. On the shaft I32 is reference being had to Figures 8 and 9: On an oil portion I35 resting on the rear portion of the produced ticket 52 held at the timein a guide or delivery tube I36 attached to the unit framework 66 and projecting at the front thereof, with the forward end of the ticket 52 projecting a 5 short distance beyond the forward end of the guide or delivery tube I36. A spring I31 presses the arm I34 downward to hold the rounded-01f ,end I35 in contact with the ticket 52 and to cause the arm I34 to swing downward when the ticket is drawn out from under the end I35. It will be noticed that when the ticket 52 is pulled out of the guide and delivery tube I36 the rounded of! portion I35 of the feeler arm I34 losesits support and hence the arm I34 swings downward and in doing so rocks the shaft I32 thereby moving the arm I3I rearwardly and likewise the link I38 and the arm I28 to rock the shaft I26. This movement given to the shaft I26 causes an upward swinging of the arm I25 whereby the lug I24 (Figure 7) moves out of engagement with the free end I23 of the arm I28 whereby the latter is swung to the right by the action of its spring I2I thus turning the clutch or coupling member II8 into engagement with the next registering 25 recess I I6 to couple the hub I86 of the gear wheel I85 with the enlarged portion I81 of the shaft I88 to rotate the latter from the gear wheel I85. The forward movement of the arm I28 is limited by a stop pin I48 held on the hub I86 and adapt- 30 ed to be engaged by a lug I4I on the arm I28. (see Figure 7'). It is understood that when the next following ticket is pushed into the tube I38 it engages the rounded off portion I of the arm I34 thus lifting the latter back to the normal 130- 35 sition shown in Figure 26 whereby a downward swiifging movement is given to the lug I24 back into the path of the free end I23 of the arm I28 to arrest the latter on its return to uppermost position and thereby turn the clutch or coupling member I I8 back into normal position, that is, out of engagement with the corresponding recess II6 to disconnect the huh I 86 from the enlarged portion I81 of the'shaft I88. It is understood that when this takes place the rotation of the shaft I88 ceases while the continua ly driven gear wheel I85 keeps on rotating. By reference to Figure 26 it will be noticed that the top and bottom of the guide and delivery tube I36 are provided with cut out portions I42, I43 for the passage of the rounded-off free end I 35 of the arm I34 to allow movement thereof as above explained. From the foregoing it will be seen that by the arrangement described the shaft we is driven by power whenever a ticket 52 is pulled out of the front end of the guide and delivery tube I 36 to actuate the mechanisms of the unit, as hereinafter more fully described.

H and operating mechanism If desired, the shaft I88 may be actuated by the hand of the. ticket agent in charge of the machine, or any other person, and for this purpose the following arrangement is provided, special extension I45 of the shaft I88 is mounted to rotate loosely a gear wheel I46 provided with a pawl I41 pressed on by a spring I48 in engagement with a tooth I49 formed on a disk I 58 secured by a screw or other fastening means I5I to the shaft extension I45. A rack I52 is in mesh with the gear wheel I46 and this rack is formed on the rear end of a rod I53 mounted to slide on the framework 66 and extending through the front. end thereof to the outside of the unit. 7

' mechanism for driving the shaft I08 from the gear wheel I05. It is understood that on pushing the handle I54 rearward, the rack I52 rotates the gear wheel I 46 in a reverse direction thus causing the pawl I41 to travel on the peripheral face of the disk I50 without, however, rotating the shaft I08.

Actuating mechanism The shaft I08 is connected with an actuating mechanism I60 (see Figures 5, 6a, 12 and 13) which'actuates and controls the following devices, namely, a main printing device for printing the body 56 including the destination 51 and the fare 58, a second printing device for printing. the date 59, the identification character 60, and the ticket number 6|, inking devices for the said printing devices, a ticket cutting-off device, and a ticket accounting means.

The actuating mechanism I60 is mounted on the auxiliary framework I21 located in front of the shaft I08, and is arranged as follows: On the shaft I08 is secured a gear wheel I6I in mesh with a gear wheel I62 secured on a shaft I63 journaled in the auxiliary framework I21. On the shaft I63 are secured four drive wheels I64, I65,

I66 and I61, each provided with a friction roller I66 adapted to successively engage four radial slots I13 of four star wheels I14, I15, I16, and I11 attached, to'or forming part of gear wheels I18, I19, I80, and I8I mounted to rotate loosely on a shaft or rod I82 forming part of the auxiliary framework I21. Each of the star wheels I14, I15,

I16 and I11 is provided with four peripheral segmental faces intermediate the slots I13 and adapted to be engaged by segmental locking members I64 forming parts of the corresponding drive wheels I64, I65, I66 and I61. Each star wheel I14, I15, I16, and I11 and its companion gear wheel I18, I19, I80, and I8I is given one quarter of a revolution for each revolution of the drive wheel I64, I65, I66, and I61, respectively. The gear wheels I18, I19, I80, and I8I are in mesh with intermediate gear wheels I85, I 86, I 81, and I88 (see Figure 6a) mounted to turn loosely on a shaft or rod I89 forming part of the auxiliary framework I21. The intermediate gear wheels I65, I86, I81, and I88 are in mesh with pinions I90, I9I, I92, and I93 mounted to rotate loosely.

on a shaft or rod I94 forming part of the auxiliary framework I21. The pinions I90, I9I, I92, and I93 are attached to or form part of cams I95, I96, I91, and I98 having cam grooves I99 engaged by pins or friction rollers 200 arranged on levers 20I, 202, 203, and 204 fulcrumed on a shaft or rod 205 forming part of the auxiliary framework I21. It will be noticed that each of the gear wheels I18, I19, I80, and I8I during this quarter revolution imparts a full revolution by the corresponding intermediate gear wheel I85, I 86, I81, or I88 to the corresponding pinion I90, I9I', I92, or I93, and as the star wheels I14, I15, I16, and I11 are consecutively driven by their drive wheels I64, I65, I66, and I61, as above explained, it is evident that the levers 20I, 202, 203,

and 204 are successively given a full forward and backward rocking motion.

Main printing device and inking means therefor The rocking levers 20 I and 204 located on opposite sides of the main framework 66 control the main printing device and its inking means, and

for this purpose the following arrangement is 2I2 and M3 engaging segmental slots 2I4, 2I5 15 formed in gear wheels 2I6, 2I1 mounted to turn on a shaft or rod 2I8 held on an auxiliary framework 2I9 attached to the main framework 66 a distance in advance of the auxiliary framework I21. The gear wheels 2I6, 2I1 are in mesh with gear wheels 200 and 22I secured on a shaft 222 journaled in side arms 223 and 224 forming part of the shaft or rod 2I8, thus constituting a'swing frame adapted to swing up and down. I The side arms 223 and 224 extend rearwardly from the shaft or rod 2I8, and in the free ends of the said side arms is journaleda shaft 225 carrying the main printing cylinder 226 provided on its peripheral face with type 221 for printing the body 56 and the destination 51 onto the strip of paper 53. The shaft 225 of the printing cylinder 226 is provided with gear wheels 228, 229 in mesh with the gear wheels 220. and 22I so that the rotary motion given to the gear wheels 2 I 6, 21 1 is transmitted by the gearing described to the printing cylinder 226 to impart a complete revolution to the printing cylinder 226 whenever the corresponding lever 20I or 204 is actuated as above explained. I

inking device for the main printing device On'the shaft 222 is secured an inking roller 230 in peripheral engagement with the type 221 to ink the latter, and the face of this inking roller 230 is in engagement with an inking pad of 45 sponge or similar material 23I saturated with ink contained in an ink reservoir 232 mounted on the auxiliary framework 2I9.

The inking pad 23I is mounted in the lower P contracted portion of the ink reservoir 232, and

its under side is segmental to engage the face of the inking roller 230 at the time when the side arms 223 and 224 are in uppermost position and the bottom of the type 221 is a distance above the strip of paper 53, as shown in Figure 18. It is understood that the swing frame formed of the shaft or rod 2I8 and the side arms 223 and 224 is held normally in an uppermost position by a spring 235 attached at its lower end to the side arm 224 and 'at its upper end to the auxiliary framework 2I9 (see Figure 18) When the lever,

distance above the strip of paper 53. During the rearward movement of-the lever 20I the gear wheel 2I1 is given a quarter revolution, and the gear wheels'2l1, 22I, and 229 are so proportioned is in uppermost position and the type 221 is a that a full revolution is given to the printing cylinder 226 at the time.

Platen The printing cylinder 226 coacts with a platen 240 provided at the sides with gibs 24l engaging longitudinal guideways 242 formed on the base 65 of the main framework 66. A spring 243 is connected at its forward end to a lug 244 attached to the under side of the platen 240, and the rear end of said spring 243 is attached to a pin 245 secured to the base 65. By the arrangement described, the spring 246 normally holds the platen 240 in rearmost position. The strip of paper 56 passes over the platen and is held against upward movement at its side edges by retaining plates 246 secured to the top of the platen 240 at the sides thereof (see Figure 20). The platen 240 is provided at the rear side with a rack 250 in mesh with a gear wheel 25i secured on the shaft 225 of the printing cylinder 226 and hence when the latter is rotated in the direction of the arrow a then a forward sliding movement is given to the platen 240 by the gear wheel 25l meshing with the rack 250'. During the return swinging movement of the lever 20i the gear ,wheel 216 and the printing cylinder 226 are-rotated in the reverse direction of the arrows a: and at and a return movement is thus given to the platen 240 aided by the spring 243, it being understood that during this movement the type 221 is out of engagement with the strip of paper 53 and the latter remains stationary during this first forward and return movement of the platen 240. The cams I65, I96, and I91 have concentric grooves (see Figure 12) to impart an uninter rupted rocking motion to the corresponding levers. The cam groove N9 of the cam H96 is formed of two concentric portions connected with each'other (see Figure 12a) to impart an intermittent rocking motion to the lever 204, that is, to hold the lever 204 temporarily at a standstill after having completed its rearward stroke, to allow the printingcylinder 226 to move out of engagement with the strip of paper 53 after the impression is made and prior to rotating the printing cylinder 226 in the reverse direction of the arrow z The teeth of the gear wheel 25l on the printing cylinder 226 and those of the rack 256 are preferably of suflicient depth to remain in mesh whether the printing cylinder 226 is in lowermost or uppermost position, thus insuring correct feeding of the strip of paper 53.

Impression In order to swing the side arms 223 and 224 downward with a view to move the type 221 in contact with the strip of paper 53 to make an impression thereon, the following arrangement is made (see Figures 18 and 19). The stud 201 of the rocking lever 204 besides engaging the slot 7 sliding movement, as hereinafter more fully ex- 'plained. On the pin 26l is'mounted to swing a lever 263 provided at its rear end with a lug 264 on which presses the free end of a spring 265 attached to the bar 260. The downward swinging movement of the rear end of the lever 263 is limited by a stop lug 265 extending across the top of the bar 260. The forward end of the lever 266 is provided with a cam 266 adapted to engage a cam face 261formed on an extension 266 of the side arm 224, which latter is limited in its upward movement by a stop lug 1269 engaging the auxiliary framework 2l0. It will be 5' noticed that when the lever 204 is rocked its stud 201 first travels a short distance in the slot 206 of the link 2 without moving the latter, but the stud 201 imparts during this time a sliding movement to the bar 260 whereby the cam 266 in engagement with the cam surface 261 imparts a downward swinging movement to the side arm 224 and consequently to the swing frame of which the side arm 224 forms a member and carries the printing cylinder 226. This downward movement of the swing frame causes the printing cylinder 226 to move downward and its type 221 into engagement with the strip of paper 53 to press the latter into firm contact with the platen 240. The printing cylinder 226 is now rotated by the lever 204 imparting a sliding movement to the link 2 to rotate the gear wheel 2", as previously explained, thus rotating the printing cylinder 226. As the platen 240 now travels again forward by the action of the gear 25 wheel 25f in mesh with the rack 250 it is evi-- dent that an impression is made on the strip of paper 63 by the type 221 and at the same time the strip of paper is fed forward the distance of the length of the ticket. As previously stated, 30 f the printing cylinder 226 makes one complete revolution and when thisis completed the cam 266 drops off the rear end of the cam surface 261 thus allowing the spring 235 to return the swing frame and consequently the printing cyl- 5 inder 226 to uppermost position. When this takes place, the strip of paper 53 is released by the type 221 and the platen 240 now returns to rearmost position on turning the printing cylinder in a reverse direction during the return forward movement of the lever 204. It is understood that the cam 266 is given a swinging movement on its return movement on the cam surface 261 to allow return movement of the swing frame carrying the printing cylinder 226, and when the bar 260 reaches the end of its forward movement the cam 266 returns to normal position on the cam surface 261 by the action of the spring 265 on the lug 264. It is understood that during the movement of the lever 20! the type 221 is inked and during the next following movement of the lever 204 an impression is made onthe strip of paper 53 and the latter is fed forward the length of one ticket. The type 221 represents the body 56 and the. destination 51, and

, in addition type 215 is provided for printing the fare 56. This type 215 is preferably arranged on the peripheral face of a type-carrying body 216 of polygonal shape inserted in a recess in the printing cylinder 226. Each side of the body 216 contains the type 215 representing different fares to permit of changing the body 216 whenever a change in the fare is made. It will be noticed that the type 215 prints the fare 58 onto the strip of paper 53 together with the body 56 and the destination 51.

Printing devices for the date, identification chafacter, and consecutive ticket numbers In order to print the date 59 and the stationidentifying character 60 onto the strip of paper, use is made of a printing device 260, and to print the consecutive numbers 6| onto successive tickets use is made of a consecutive number printing device m. The printing device at is of cylin- 1 face with type for each month, type for each day of the month, type for each year, and a. stationidentifying character, say a letter of the alphabet, to indicate the station at which the tickets are issued, it being understood that each station along the route uses a different identifying character 60. The date printing device is of the usual construction to allow convenient change of the date from day to day and year to year, and it is not deemed necessary to show or describe this date printing device in detail, it being sufficient to state that at the beginning of a day's work the necessary change is made as to the proper date. The consecutive number printing device 28| is of usual construction and hence it is not deemed necessary to describe the same in detail. The printing devices 260 and 28| (see Figures 5, 6,

- 21, 22, 23, 24, 25) are mounted on shafts son and 30| journaled in'a carriage 302 and engaging vertical slots 303 and 304 formed in an auxiliary framework 305 attached to the main framework 66. The printing devices 280 and 2B| are inked by inking rollers 3 I 0 and 3| I supplied with ink from ink fountains 3|2, 3|3 mounted on the auxiliary framework 305. The shafts 3 and 3|5 of the inking rollers 3|0 and 3| i are journaled in swing frames 3|6 and 3|! mounted to swing loosely on the shafts 300 and30i as a fulcrum. The swing frames 3|6 and 3|! are provided with segmental gear wheels 3|8 and 3|9 in mesh with racks 320 and 32| formed on a slide 322 provided with lengthwise extending slots 323 engaged by supporting studs 324 mounted on the carriage 30.2 (see Figures 21, 23, and 25). The slide 322 is provided with a vertical slot 325 engaged by a stud 326 held on an extension 321 of the link 2|0, previously mentioned, and controlled by the rocking lever 20L It will be noticed that when a rearward and forward sliding movement is given to the link 2|0 then its extension 321 and stud 326 impart a similar sliding movement to the slide 322 to cause the racks 320 and 32! to turn the segmental gear wheels 3|8 and 3|9, this imparting swinging movement to the swing frames 3|6, 3H

to cause the inking rollers 3|0 and 3 to ink the printing devices 280 and 28L It is understood that during the rearward movement of the slide 322 the inking rollers 3|0 and 3 travel downward on the peripheral face of the printing devices 280 and 20| to insure inking of the bottom portions of the said printing devices 280 and 20| to make the proper impressions in the tickets whenever the carriage 302 is caused to slide downward, as hereinafter more fully explained. The carriage 302 is normally in the uppermost position shown in Figures 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25, and is moved down and back to uppermost position by mechanism connected with the rocking lever 202 previously mentioned. The rocking lever 202 is for this purpose pivotally connected at its upper end with the rear end of a link 330 extending forwardly and being provided at its forward end with a slot 33| (Figure 21) engaging a stud 332 held on the auxiliary framework 305 (see Figures 22-and 24). The forward end of the link 330 is provided with a rack 333 in mesh with a gear wheel 334 secured on a shaft 335 journaled on the auxiliary framework 305. On the shaft are secured two gear wheels 336 in mesh with corresponding gear wheels 331 secured on a shaft 338 likewise journaled, on the auxiliary framework 305. The two sets of gear wheels 336, 331 are in mesh with corresponding vertically disposed racks number 6| on the ticket 52 2,044,367 drical shape and is provided on its peripheral 340 and 3 attached to the carriage 302. When the rocking lever 202 swings rearwardly then the link 330 and its rack 333 are movedin the same direction, and in doing so the rack 333 turns thegear wheel 334 whereby the sets of gear wheels 336 and 331 are rotated to move the racks 340 and 3 and consequently the carriage 302 me downward direction to cause the printing devices 280 and 28| to make impressions on the strip of paper and thereby print the date, the identification character, and a ticket number on the strip of paper adjacentthe ends of the ticket, as will be readily understood by reference to Figures 34 and 35. When the rocking lever 202 swings forward during its return movement then a reverse movement is given to the gearing above described whereby the carriage 302 is moved up to normal position this moving the printing devices 280 and 20| out of engagement with the strip of paper 53 held stationary during the time the impressions are made by the printing devices 200 and 286.

In order to advance the number wheels of the consecutive number printing devices 26| for each impression to print consecutive numbers on successive tickets, use is made of a link 350 (see Figures 25 and 32) connected with the rocking lever 203. For the purpose mentioned the linl 330 is provided with spaced depending lugs 35| and 352 between which extends the upper end of the actuating lever 353 of the consecutive number printing device 28| and hence when the lever 203 is rocked a corresponding movement is given to the actuating lever 353 to turn the consecutive number printing device 28| to the next number.

Ticket cutting-0 3 device the strip of paper, as plainly shown in Figure 32.

The die 364 is attached to the base 65 of the main framework 66 and is located immediately in the rear of the tube I36 through which passes the ticket 52 to the front end of, the unit. The strip of paper 53 is guided to-the die 364 through a short guide tube 365 mounted on the base .65 in the rear of the die 364. It will be noticed that when the lever 203 rocks rearwardly a rearward movement is given to the link 350 whereby a swinging movement is given to the arms 360 and 362 to cause the knife 363 to cut off the ticket 52 from the strip of paper 53 and at the time the strip of paper 53 is at a standstill with the forward end projecting a short distance beyond the forward end of the guide and delivery tube I36. During the return movement of the lever 203 the knife 363 is returned to uppermost position thus allowing the attendant of the machine to pull the ticket out of the tube I36 of the corresponding unit.

Accounting device On the front auxiliary framework I33 issecured a transversely extending shaft. or rod 310 on which is mounted to turn a number counter 3' of any approved construction for displaying a'number corresponding to the consecutive ticket extending in the tube I36 at the time. The number counter 3' dis- (see Figure 3). 'is provided with two sets of numerals 384 and 385 2,044,507 plays a number through a window 312 formed in the front 313 of the main framework 56, and the number counter may be of any approved construction. In order to actuate the number counter 31! the arm 360 is provided with an extentension 315 (see Figure 32) provided with spaced pins 315, 311 adapted to engage the operating arm 318 of the number counter 31! to actuate the latter, that is, to display the number oi the ticket in the tube I35 at the time.' It is understood that the number counter 31! is of the nonreversing type, that is, the arm 318 actuates only the number counter during the return move-' ment of the link 350. The two accounting tapes 38!! and 38! are arranged in the front portion of the unit and display through windows 382 and 383 arranged in the front of the main framework 56 Each of the accounting tapes (see Figure 30) of which the numerals 384 indicate the number of tickets sold, and the numerals 385 indicate the total amount in dollars and cents -of the corresponding tickets sold. Thus, as

shown at the top of Figure 30, is disclosed 245 tickets to the value of $220.50 with the price of each ticket at 90 cents, as indicated in Figures 34 and 35. The tape 38!! is preferably used for indicating the daily sales and is more particularly designed for the use of the ticket seller in charge of the machine and is set daily to zero. The other tape 38! is more particularly designed for a given accounting period as decided on by the general accounting office. As the working of both tapes 388 and 38! is alike, it suifices to describe the mounting of one tape in detail, special reference being had to Figure 27. The tape 38!) unwinds from a drum or spool 40!! mounted to rotat on a shaft or rod 40! fixed on the auxiliary framework S33, and the said drum is pressed on by a helical spring 402 having one end attached to the shaft or rod 40! and the other to the drum, as plainly indicated in Figure 2'7. The tape 38!! after leaving the drum 4!!!! passes around a pair of sprocket wheels 405 secured on a shaft 408 journaled on the auxiliary framework I33. The tape 380 next passes under an idler 401 mounted the auxiliary framework H3 and then extends upward in front of the corresponding windown 382 or 383 to wind on a winding up drum or spool 388 mounted to rotate loosely on the rod or shaft 31!) previously mentioned. A helical spring 303 is secured at one end to the rod or shaft 318 and at the other end to the drum 408 to place the latter, under tension with a view to wind up the tape as the latter is caused to travel intermittently by the action of the sprocket wheels 405. The spring 409 is somewhat weaker than the spring 432 to allow of rewinding the tape 33!) on the drum 400 at the time the operating devices for the tapes are released, as. hereinafter more fully explained. An intermittent turning motion is given to the sprocket wheels 405 by the following mechanism: n the shaft 406 is secured a ratchet wheel 4!5 engaged by two pawls H5 and 4!! fulcrumed at M8 on the extension 315 ofthe link 35!). The pawls 4!6 and 4H are pressed into engagement with the ratchet wheel 5 by springs H9 and 420, and the said pawls H5, 4" are provided with forwardly extending handles 42! and 422 extending through an opening 423 formed in the front 313 of the main framework 56. The handles 42! and 422 for the operating ,mechanism of the tape 380 are under the control of the ticket seller in charge of the machine while the handles for the operating mechanism of the tape 33! are enclosed in a suitable key-controlled lock 425 (see Figure 3) and mounted on the front face of the front end 313 of the main framework 66. Thus the handles 42! and 422 for resetting the tape 388 can be 5- readily pressed by the ticket seller to allow rewinding of the tape 38!) on the drum 400 at the beginning of the day's work. The other tape 38! is reset at the end of a desired longer period by an authorized person from the accounting office 10 having the key for the lock 425 to allow of openingthe latter to obtain access to the handles 42!, 422 of the operating mechanism for the tape 38!.

It is understood that when the link 35!] moves rearwardly the pawls 4 6 and 4 I 1 are carried along by the extension 315 of the link 350 and in doing so the said pawls turn the ratchet wheel 5 and consequently the shaft 405 carrying the sets of sprocket wheels 4115 to advance the tapes 380 and 33! to display the next set of numerals in the windows 382, 383. During the return movement of the link 35!] the pawls H6 and 411 glide over the teeth of the ratchet wheel 5 without turningthe latter.

Automatic stopping device In case the strip of paper 53 runs out on the spool 52, it is desirable to stop the actuating mechanism, and for this purpose an automatic stopping device is provided arranged as follows, special reference being had to Figures 28 and 29: The strip of paper 53 after leaving the roll or drum 62 passes through a guide tube 43!] arranged in the bottom portion of the main framework 66, and the said tube is provided on thetop and bottom with openings 43! and 432 for the passage of the free end of a locking lever 433. The free end of the locking lever 433 normally rests on top of the strip of ticket paper 53, as plainly shown in Figures 28 and 29, tohoid the lever normally in 40 unlocking position. The lever 433 is fulcrumed on a stud 434 attached to a bracket 435 forming part of the auxiliary framework !21 (see Figure 5) and the said lever 433 is pressed on by a spring 436 held on the stud 434 to impart a swinging movement to the lever 433 whenever the strip of paper 53 runs out from under the free end of the said locking lever 433. The upper end of the locking lever 433 is normally out of the path of a lug 431 arranged on. the arm G28 previously mentioned, but when the locking lever 433 swings into locking position it engages the lug 431 and thus locks the arm !28 against swinging in a rearward direction and thereby preventing lifting of the arm !25 to release the locking arm !2!) of the clutch member ill). Thus the hub !06 is not coupled to the shaft "18 in case the ticket 52 is pulled out from under the arm i34 normally controlling the arm in, as above explained.

Modified. printing mechanism In case it is desired to use a partly printed strip of paper 55-, as previously explained, then use is made of the mainprinting cylinder'228 provided with type 440 representing the destination 51 05 only, as shown in Figure 33. In this case the contact of the type 440 with the strip of paper 53 is not suiiicient to feed the latter forward, and in order to insure a positive forward feeding of the strip of paper the latter is provided with spaced pairs of oppositely disposed apertures 44! (see Figure 35) adapted to be engaged by pins 442 held on a U-shapedspring frame 443 secured at the free ends of its side arms 444 to the platen 245. The side arms 444 register with the grooved 75.

.portions 5 arranged at the ends of the printing cylinder 226 and hence when the printing cylinder moves downward, as previously explained, then it engages the side arms 4 and thus swings the frame 3 downward thereby moving the pins 442 into engagement with a cor- Operation The operation is as follows:

When the motor 10 is running then a continuous rotary motion is given to the gear wheels I05 of the units mounted in the casing 50. 4 When a passenger calls for a ticket say at Startout,

N. Y." station for Westchester, N. Y. then the 0 ticket seller in charge of the machine pulls out the ticket 53' at the Westchester unit and collects the fare of 90 cents. 0n pulling the ticket 53 out of the guide and delivery tube I36 it moves out from under the free rounded-off end I35 of the arm I34 and hence the latter is released and swings downward by the action of its spring I31 (see Figures 26, 28) and hence a rocking motion is given to the shaft I32 which by the arm I3], the link I30, and the arm I26 imparts a rocking motion to the shaft I26 whereby the arm I25 (see Figure 7) is swung upward out of engagement with the arm I20 of the coupling or clutch .member to allow the spring I2I to swing the said arm I20 rearwardly and thus turn the coupling member IIO to couple the rotating gear wheel I05 to the shaft I08 to rotate the latter. The rotary motion oi the shaft I08 is transmitted by the gear wheels I6I and I62 to the shaft I63 carrying the several drive wheels I66, I65, I66, and I61.

First period The drive wheel I64 by its pin or friction roller I68 imparts a quarter turn to thestar wheel I15 which by its gear wheel I16 rotates the intermediate gear wheel I05 which imparts a rotary motion by the pinion I90 to the cam I95, the

latter making one revolution during the quarter revolution given to the star wheel I16. During the first half of the revolution of the cam I95 a rearward swinging movement is given to the lever MI by which the link 2 I 0 actuates the gear wheel 2I6 and the slide 322 whereby the types 221 and 215-on the main printing cylinder 226 and the printing devices 280 and 28I are inked by the corresponding inking rollers 230, 3 I 0, and 3I I.

Sccond'period When the cam I95 has completed its revolution then the pin or friction roller I68 of the fourth drive wheel I61 imparts a quarterturn tothe star wheel I11 which by its gear wheel I8I and the intermediate gear wheel I88 and the pinion I93 rotates the cam I89 whereby a rocking motion is given to the lever 204. During the rearward movement of the rocking lever 204 the printing cylinder 226 is moved downward to engage the types 221 and 215 with the strip of paper 53 to make an impression thereon, that is, print-. ing the body 56, the destination 51, and the fare 53 onto the strip 53, as indicated on the righthand portion of Figure 34, and at the same time the platen 240 is fed forward thus moving the strip of paper 53 the length of a ticket, and when this has been done the rocking lever 206 starts on the return stroke in a forward direction whereby the printing cylinder 226 is lifted and moved out of engagement with the strip of paper, and the said strip of paper 53 now remains at a standstill while the platen 240 returns with the return movement of the printing cylinder 223. The printing cylinder 226 during its upward movement rotates in the reverse direction of the arrow X thus moving the platen 240 back to its rearmost position aided by the spring 265.

Third period Immediately after the cam I has completed its revolution the pin or frictionroller I68 of the drive wheel I65 imparts a quarter turn to the star wheel I15 which by the gear. wheel I19, the intermediate gear wheel I86, and the pinion I9I, rotates the cam I96 thus imparting a rocking motion to the rocking lever 202. During the rearward movement of this rocking lever 202, the link 330 imparts a rearward movement to the rack 333 (see Figure 22) whereby a downward sliding movement is given to the carriage 302 to move the printing devices 280, 28I into contact with the now stationary strip of ,paper 53, to make impressions thereon, that is, to print the date (say November 20, 1919), the station-identifying character (say the letter G), and a ticket number (say 065413) on this strip, as shown in Figure 34. During the return swinging movement in a forward direction of the rocking lever 202 the carriage 302 returns to uppermost position and the printing devices 289 and 26! move out of engagement with the strip of paper.

Fourth period When the strip of paper 53 is fed forward. dur ing the first period of the actuating mechanism, the forward end of the paper with a ticket printed thereon passes into the tube I36 with the forward end projecting a shortdistance beyond the front end of the tube. After the completion of the revolution of the cam I96 the friction roller $66 of the drive wheel I66 imparts a quarter revolution to the star wheel I16 by which its gear wheel I80, the intermediate gear wheel I81, and. the pinion I92, impart a single revolution to the cam I 91 whereby a rocking motion is given to the lever 203, which by the link 350 actuates the cuttingoil knife 363 to cut oil the ticket 52 from the strip 53, and at the same time the link 350 actuates the counter 31I to turn the latter to the number printed on the ticket visible on the end that extends from the tube I36. At the same time the accounting tapes 380, 38I are advanced. The tape 380 discloses the number of tickets sold by the ticket seller, say during a day, and the total amount thereof while the tape 38I records the number of tickets sold during a longer period and the total amount thereof.

During the return movement of the link 350 the knife 363 is, raised to the position shown in Figure 32 and at the same time the link imparts a rocking motion to the actuating arm 353 of the consecutive number printing device 28I to advance the latter to the next number. When the strip of paper 53 is fed forward the first period, as above explained, and enters the tube I36 then it swings the arm I34 upward whereby a return rocking movement is given to the shaft I32 which, by the arm I 3i, the link I30, and the arm I20, imparts a return rocking movement to the shaft I26 whereby the arm I2! is swung downward into the path of the arm I20 to arrest the latter on the gear wheel I05 completing one revolution, thus moving the clutch or coupling pleted and the several parts except the driving mechanism are at rest.

The above operation is repeated on the ticket seller pulling out the projecting end of the ticket in the tube I36.

The ticket paper is preferably provided with the usual safeguards to protect against counterfeiting.
