2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Jan. 27, 1948 v Wiflbez 7 9 M? M Patented May 17, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to an autographic register wherein a series of forms or tickets,
as they are usually called, and which are sections of a long strip, are successively advanced over a platen for inscription. Two or more of such strips in superposed relation are provided to permit the making of multiple copies. The object of the present invention is to provide an improved mechanism for effecting an initial feeding movement of the inscribed tickets by the action of pins which engage holes adjacent the heads of the tickets and the release of such pins from such holes for engagement with the holes of a succeeding set of tickets when the inscribed set has been completely withdrawn to position such succeeding set properly on the platen.
Hitherto there have been known registers of the so-called hand-pull type in which the inscribed ticket was withdrawn :from the register primarily by direct manual traction thereon and wherein a mechanism of the general type just referred to served to project from the machine the head portion of the inscribed ticket to be grasped by the fingers and which mechanism, subsequent to the complete manual withdrawal of that ticket, by cooperation with holes of the succeeding set of tickets served to position the succeeding set of tickets over the platen to permit the inscribed set to be torn ofi accurately at the division line between the successive sets without disarrangement of the new set just brought to inscribing position. My invention is advantageously used in such a hand-pull register which I here show as an illustrative embodiment of my invention in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of a register broken away and is substantially on the plane [-1 of Fig. '7;
Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are similar views showing only the forward portion of the register with the parts in different positions;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged horizontal section of a paper engaging and positioning pin in a plane corresponding to the upper surface of the paper engaged therewith;
Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the pin;
Fig. 7 is a plan view of the forward portion of the register with the lid omitted and also the paper, and the platen broken away;
Fig. 8 is a section on the line 8-8 of Fig. 7; and
Fig, 9 is a fragmentary section on line 9-9 of Fig. 8.
It may be noted that for simplicity in Figs. 2,
3 and 4 I have shown only a single strip extending over the platen instead of attempting to show two superposed strips and an intervening carbon which is interposed between them over the platen, which, however, are shown in Fig. 1, much exaggerated in thickness, except at the left 01 the figure where to show two strips in this exaggerated manner would mislead.
Referring now to Fig. 1, the register takes the form of a suitable casing 8 provided with a movable lid ill through which is an opening l2 giving access to the form or ticket supported beneath the opening by the platen is which extends across the upper portion of the casing 8. The forward or left-hand edge It or the cover frame it beneath which the strips are fed out herein provides a tear-off blade or ledger blade, against which blade a set of inscribed tickets may be torn off after they have been withdrawn from the register. That is, when a set of tickets is over the platen in proper position for inscription, their leading or forward edges are substantially directly underneath this forward edge of the cover frame.
The tickets are successive sections of long paper strips I8 and 20 (Fig. 1) provided with the usual holes 22 near the head of each section which are adapted to be entered by pins 24 located at the head of the platen. These pins align the superposed tickets of the several strips and position the heads of the tickets in alignment with the tear-ofi blade it against which the inscribed tickets are torn off after they are withdrawn from the register, which act of withdrawal serves to bring a new set of tickets over the platen by the engagement of the holes in these new tickets over the pins. In Fig. 1 I show a carbon leaf 26 extending transversely across the platen between th strips l8 and 20, as is usual in registers of this type. I may here repeat what has already been said, that for simplicity in all the figures except Fig. 1 I have not attempted to show superposed strips or the carbon paper since in the action of the mechanism which I am about to describe the two strips are handled as one and the carbon paper remains stationary, extending across the platen.
The initial feed of the strips is effected by movement of the pins 24 which move the heads of the tickets or leading ends of the strips from the position of Fig. l outwardly beneath the overhanging tear-off bar to the position of Fig. 2. The pins then leave the holes 22 of the strips and retreat idly beneath the strips to the initial position. The projecting ends of the inscribed tickets may then be manually withdrawn toward the left of the figures until the holes 253 in the succeeding set of tickets come opposite the pins which then enter the same and stop the withdrawing movement. At this time the line of division between the inscribed set and the succeeding set is below the edge I8 of the tear-oil blade and the inscribed tickets may be torn off while the tickets of the succeeding set are held and positionedby the pins engaging the holes therein.
The pins 24 are here shown as carried on the distal ends of leaf springs 28 projecting from the web of an inverted U-shaped yoke Silwhich is in eifect a rocker arm carried by a transverse rock shaft 32, which arm in the operation of the device swings forwardly past the vertical to the position of Fig. 2. The pins project upwardly through slots 36 in the forward end of the platenand-move in a vertical plane longitudinal of these slots and the.me ent e t.impar edt ereto.by th ro ha rt nd t m v th m-niche th r in 1 in apat whic ress sthaplah ft pla n, bu ;on account of; their far n -t ir yielding mounting and t e reeereratiehwit hehap i the .h h eine t r,teb he. ibedth a t a y move rectilinearly; forwardly; to: effect the initial feed of the paper and gn theretqlln strokeof the yoke automatica w thd a -4mm t e holes. in t e mail .m Y -.-rea war ,1 tbeheet the unbr n .sm th the .h leinthe. a s p a e ;in Fig. S and itsforwardjaee is provided with a notch .40 adapted; toweceive the leading margins of suchhole whenthepin is inserted therein and moved forwardly. othenwisedescribed it might be said that the .-pin has an overhanging shoulder -at its fr,ont face in the, nature of a hook which en ges ve heie wer reine he hol n t e ee were-resitienpf theparts, as shown in Fig. 1, because the arm 30 1s; at the rear of ee th .el 9 ertih -pr ns v p o e f d a d.th ri in fltexteh ab v t face of theplaten andv enter: the holes in the superposed ,sheets, on ly one sheet l8.;;being;show n in Fig.1.

4 succeeding set of tickets come opposite the pins which then spring upwardly into the holes arresting the forward movement of the strips, the parts being then again in the position of Fig. 1.
To operate the pins the yoke 30 (see Fig. 8) is here shown as provided with a rebent end portion 42 forming an upwardly extending operating arm upon which is mounted a segmental handle 44 extending through the cover of the register. To delimit and eontrol the moyement of athis operatshaft 32 adjacent thereto is somewhat enlarged upwardly, as seen in Fig. 9, the shaft being urged '.to the upward position by means of a spring 46.
