AUTOGRAPHIC REGISTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 690,465, dated January 7, 1902. Application nea september 26,'1901. serial No. 76,640. (No man.)
T all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, THEoDoR F.7ScH11aMER,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Autographic Registers,
of which the following is a full, clear, and
exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this Io specification.
My invention relates to machines for making duplicate copies of writings, whether of sale-slips for use in stores or business memoranda of various kinds, such as bills of lading and the like.
The invention relates particularly to that class of Vduplicating-machines in which the slips of paper are torn from the sheet by drawing them against a tearing or cutting edge, and it has for its object to provide an exceedingly simple and effective method of releasing the tension devices which ordinarily hold the paper strips in alinement when for any reason the several strips as they are fed from the machine become displaced and out of line, it being customary in registers of this kind to print similar forms on the original and duplicate strips, so that it is desirable that the several strips as they come from the machine shall bein, as nearly as possible, perfect alinement.
I have illustrated the invention in connection with what is commonly known as the pull-out" form of register, in which all the sheets are drawn from the machine and torn off against the cutting edge; but my invention is equally applicable to that class of machines in which the storage-roll or other-means for preserving the record-stri p within the machine is employed.
In the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a portion of same, showing my improvements. Fig. 3 is a similar view with the tearing-blade thrown back to release the paper 4strips from the tension devices. Fig. 4 is a detail cross-section on the lines 4 4 of Fig. 8.
The main features of the register are of the 5o usual and well-known description, consisting of a casing A, in which are mounted a plustrips are passed and where is interposed between the strips the usual manifolding material. v
D is the top frame or cover with an open- 6o ing to expose the Writing-tablet, which cover is hinged to the forward end of the casing and normally held down and locked, protecting and covering the side edges of the tablet by the hooks b, mounted on the ends of the rod c, running across the case, which rod is journaled in the side walls, so that the hooks can be simultaneously released by the handle m on one of them to allow the cover to be raised and the writing-tablet removed 7o when it is desired to load the machine.
E is the tearing-blade, pivoted by spindles ef in the lugs d d, mounted on the cover D at the delivery end of the machine. The spinydlefis considerably longer than the spindle e, and mounted around this spindle is a coiled spring g, bearing between thelug d and the tearing-blade to permit a slight lateral movement of the tearing-blade for a'purpose to be hereinafter specified. This spring gis also 8o so secured that it may exert a tension 011 the tearing-blade to hold it normally against the paper to be torn off.
F F area pair of tension-lingers secured on the rod G, pivoted in suitable bearings in the 8 5 cover D across the end of the writing-tablet. These tension-fin gers are thin strips of sheet metal and are given a downward tension by the coiled spring h. The spring Z, mounted on the rod G, normally holds the tension-in- 9o gers pressed down upon the Writing-tablet and the paper strips thereon. The rod G is provided with an arm n on its outer end eX- tending upwardly and rearwardly in such a position that when the tearing-blade E is raised up by the handle p and turned back to permit the hook r on the cover D to engage Within the slot s in the tearing-blade Vthe tearing-blade will come in contact with the outer end of this arm n and, depressing same, will 10o raise the tension-fingers F F from the tablet.
In order to enable the tearing-blade E to be cover D, so that for loading and starting the machine the cover is thrown back. The original memorandum-slip is written upon and by the manifolding material transferred to .the duplicates. The operator then slightly raises the tearing-blade E by the handle p to enable him to obtain a grasp of the paper strips, While a thumb-notch t in the outer edge of the tablet and the corresponding notch y in the top casing enable him to obtain a better grasp of the paper. The tearingblade is then dropped and the' proper amount drawn out from the machine and torn off against the tearing-blade.
For holding the roll of carbon-paper I provide a trough on one side of the case, while the free end of the carbon-paper is held down and secured by the bar H, pivoted on lugs b b' on the case. Y
L is a catch pivoted to the case for holding down this bar, so as to lock the end of the carbon-paper between the bar and the case.
Vhen carelessly and improperly used and when loading the machine, the strips of paper become out of alinement and it becomes necessary to place the strips in exact line, so that What is Written upon the original strip may appear in the proper place on the duplicates. In that event the operator raises the tearing-blade E, presses it back, and hooks it under the hook r, and, as already described, this action depresses the arm n on the tensioniinger shaft and releases the tension-fingers from the paper. The paper strips are then loose and can be at once adjusted, When the tearing-blade is released and the ordinary operation proceeds. It will be evident, as
heretofore stated, that while my invention as above described is particularly applicable to the pull-out form of register it could also be applied to those machines in which the undermost strips are stored in the case.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In an autographic register, the combination, with a case for holding a plurality of strips of paper, a Writing-tablet over which said strips of paper are disposed and a tearing-blade pivoted to the casing, of a tension device for the paper strips pivoted to the casing, means for locking out of operation said tearing-blade, and connecting mechanism intermediate said tearing-blade and tension device, Whereby the tension device is released when the tearing blade is locked ont of operation, substantially as shown and described.
2. In an autographic register, the combination, with a case for holding a plurality ot strips of paper, a Writing-tablet over which said strips of paper are disposed and a tearing-blade pivoted to the casing, of a tension device for the paper strips pivoted to the casing, means for locking out of operation said tearing-blade, with an arm on said tension device contacting with said tearing-blade when the same is raised to release the tension device, substantially as shown and described.
3. In an autographic register, the combination, with a case for holding a plurality of strips ot' paper, a Writing-tablet over which said strips of paper are disposed and a tear-V ing-blade pivoted to the casing, of a rod carrying tension-iingers pivoted to said casing, an arm on said rod extending into the path- Way of said tearing-blade when the same is raised, and means for locking said tearingblade out of operation, substantially asshown and described. v 4. In an autographic register, the combination, With a case for holding a plurality of strips of paper, a Writing-tablet over which said strips of paper are disposed and a tearing-blade pivoted to the casing, of a rod carrying tension-fingers pivoted to said casing, an arm on said rod extending into the path- Way of said tearing -blade when same is raised, and a hook on the casing and a slot in the tearing-blade to receive the same, substan tially as shown and described.
