SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 772,672, dated October is, 1904.
I Application filed April 25, 1904. Serial No. 204,716. (No model.) i
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known 'thatI, SAMoEL REITER, a citi-, zen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manifold- Machin es, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention has relation. to; manifolding apparatus, and .has forits object the provision of an apparatus of a noveltype wherein entries may be made in a book and such en- .tries simultaneously manifolded upon two strips of paper, one of which is rolled upon a,
roller and the other of which is torn off in slips after the entries have been made thereon for the purposes to be hereinafter described. The invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed, v
I have illustrated-my improved manifolding apparatusv in the accompanying drawings,
wherein Figure 1 1s a perspective view of the manlfolding apparatus, showing a book impositionthereon.
Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the apparatus shownin Fig.
1, the-book being removed. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. A. is a similar view with a portion of the exterior removed to show the construction and arrangement of the parts within the casing. Fig. 5 is a detail side elevation of a part of the casing, showing one of the plates in which the guide-roller shafts are journaled,
with said shafts in section.
The operative parts of my apparatus are mounted in and on a casing 1, which has a cut-away portion 2 in eachlof its sides, so asof which the rolls 6 and 7 are composed passes over the tablet 3 and between a fixed guideroller 11 and removable spring-sustained guide-roller 12, the former being arranged at such point that its upper surface is in alinement with the top of the tablet 3 and the latter being arranged in vertical alinement over the former and journaled in slotted ears 13.,projecting upwardly from the sides of the casing. Curved plates 14. 15 are pivotally secured. to thesides ofthe casing, and the upper edges of these plates bear against the rolls6 and 7, so as to restrain them from rotating too freely, these plates being held against the rolls by spiral springs 16 17. A roll of paper18 is also arrangedwithin the casing, being carried on a shaft ,19, and a curved plate 20, which is held against the roll 18 by a spring 21, serves to restrain this roll from rotatingtoo freely. The paper from the roll 18 passes froma guide-roll 22 and extends over the tablet 3 and between the guide-rolls 11 12. A roll of carbon-paper 23 is supported on ashaft 24:, that is journaled in the sides of the casing, and the end of this roll of carbon-paper passes over a guide-roller 25 and extends over the tablet 3 between the paper from the rolls 6 andl8, the carbon-paper, however, not extending between the rollers 11 and 12, but terminating just before it reaches these rolls. Y A roll of carbon-paper 26 is carried on a shaft 27, and the paper from this roll passes from a guide-roll 28 and extends over the top of .the paper from the roll 6 to. the same point as the carbon-paper 23. The carbon-paper 26 has holes cut therein at intervals equalto the length of the page of the book which is to be used in connection with the apparatus, one of these holes being shown at 29 in Figs. 1 and 3, such hole being provided for the purpose of enabling the bookkeeper to indorse on the paper from the rolls 6 and 18 the'number of the page of the, book in which the entries are made at-each operation. I Each of the shafts 4:, 5, 19, 24, and 27 is slotted topeIrmit of .the passage therethrough of the one end of the respective paper-rolls, and each has one end diminished in size Where it passes through the side'of the casing, the ends being vfitted with screws 4: 5', 19, 24:, and 2.7, by.
removing which, when desired, the shafts can be drawn out of the casing. The screws 24: 27 also serve to hold the shafts 24: 27 in fixed position at certain periods when it is not desired to have the carbon-paper fed along with the writing-paper on the rolls 6 and 18. The two ends of the shaft of guide-roll 11 are passed through slots 12' in plates 13, while the roller 12 is journaled in the holes in these plates, and to the lower ends of the plates are attached springs 30, these springs being attached at their lower ends to pins 30 in the sides of the casing, and the said springs therefore serving to draw down the plates and causing the roll 12 to bear against the paper that passes between the rolls 11 and 12. A cutterbar 31 is pivoted between the ears 13 13 and provides means whereby the end of the sheet of paper coming from the roll 18 may be conveniently cut ofi' after the entry has been made thereon. The section of paper coming from the roll 6 and winding upon the roll 7 passes under the hinged door 32, which is provided with a glass panel 33, through which the writing on the paper can be seen. This door being hinged to the sides of the casing can be opened if it be desired to erase any of the entries on the paper from the roll 6. 34, having a handle 35, is mounted on the end of the shaft 5, and by turning this crank the paper from the rolls 6 and 18 can be drawn from their respective rolls over the tablet 3 until the desired amount of paper has passed onto the tablet. The paper unwound from roll 6 by the turning of the crank is wound upon roll 7, while the paper unwound from roll 18 is free to be torn off after it has passed roller 12 by drawing it across the cutter-bar 81.
My improved manifolding-machine is particularly adapted for use by grocers, and in Fig. 1 of the drawings 1 have shown the ma chine as used and have illustrated an accountbook in position upon the same. Each one of these books which is held by the customer is given a number-for instance, 218 and the body portion of the book comprising the pages not being used is placed under the tablet 3, and the page to be written upon is placed upon the first carbon-sheet of paper 26. Upon the book having been placed in position and the number of the book noted the same number, 218, is written upon the paper emitting from the roll 18, the opening 29 in the first carbon-sheet permitting this number to be written upon the first sheet of paper. When this number is written on this sheet, the same will be duplicated upon the paper emitting from the roll 6 by means of the carbon-sheet 23. The articles purchased and their respective prices are then entered in the account-book, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the names of these articles and their respective prices being duplicated upon the paper from the rolls 6 and 18 by means of the sheets of carbon paper 23 and 26. Upon the desired number of articles having A crank been entered in the account-book the same is removed, and the crank 3ais rotated by means of the handle 35 until the copy of the articles carried by the paper from the roll 18 has passed between the rolls 11 and 12 sufliciently far to permit the copy on sheet from roll 18 to be severed by means of the cutter-bar 31 .from the rest of the paper, this copy forming a. slip which may be sent out with the articles or retained upon a lilo. Simultaneously with this operation the copy duplicated upon the paper from the roll (5 will also have passed over the tablet 3 and become exposed to view through the glass plate 33, whereby if any mistake should have occurred in entering the articles in the account-book the same could be corrected by raising the glass panel 33 and making the desired correction before the paper is wound upon the roll 7 to be preserved as a record.
1 have provided the space formed by cutting away the sides, as at 2, with a U-shaped plate 36, which maybe secured therein by any desired means, this plate being provided to protect the interior of the casing from dust and other foreign ingredients and also to protect the hand of the person which supports the account-book under the tablet \Vhile l have herein shown and described my improved manifolding-machine as particularly adapted for the use of grocers, it will be noted that the same may be employed by other merchants and that the complicated and expensive systems of bookkeeping are ontirely dispensed with. It will also be noted that various changes may be made in the general arrangement of the rollers within the casing and that other slight changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the scope of the invention.
