My invention relates to counters.
It has among its objects to provide an improved counter of the type adapted to count a predetermined number of times and, upon resetting, again count up to that total. A further object of my invention is to provide such an improved counter having improved adjustable predeter- Amining dial means whereby the counter may be set with facility to count any predetermined number of times, and further provided with improved co-operating controlling and resetting mechanisms and improved means for facilitating the setting operation. These. and other objects and advantages of my improved construction will, however, hereinafter more fully appear.
In the accompanying vdrawings I have shown for purposes of illustration one embodiment which my invention may assume in practice.

Fig. 10 is a'separated vertical sectional view od' the component parts of one of the counter units; and
Fig. 11 is a side elevation of the predetermining ring.'
In this illustrative construction I have shown a counter mounted in a usual casing I and adapted to be operated through an operating shaft 2 by any suitable means, as, for example, a lever 3. Herein, the movementvof the shaft 2 causesa series of counting mechanisms, or dial units, A,
' B, C and D, previously set in a relationship desig- (Cl. 23S-132) nating a predetermined number, to count the operations of the lever 3 and shaft 2 until the predetermined number of operations has beenv counted, and then permit the automatic operation of a controlling shaft 5 which in a well known manner controls a signal or the operation of the machine. Herein, the several dial units are also reset by a resetting member or wing nut 6 xed to and rotating with an axially disposed resetting shaft l, and the operation of setting is further facilitated by the depression of a releasing member 8 operatively connected as hereinafter described.
Considering the arrangement and connections generally, it will be noted that the shaft 1 extends axially through all the units, or counting mechanisms, A, B, C and D, and parallel to the shafts 2 and 5 previously mentioned, with the shaft 2 in front of the dials and the shaft 5 below the latter. Moreover, it will be noted that oper ating connections are provided between the shaft 2 and the unit A in such manner that the latter is moved through successive fractions of coniplete revolutions -as the lever 3 is oscillated about the axis of the shaft 2, while the rotation of the unit A is transmitted to the other units B, C and D through usual transfer mechanism whereby the units to the left of unit A are successively operated to carry in a well known manner.
Referring more in detail to the operative connections for actuating the unit A and the other units from the latter, it will be noted that the shaft 2 is journaled in suitable bearings 9 formed on the casing, and that in addition to the lever 3 which is outside the casing, the shaft has well known ratchet type operative connections between the same and the unit A. More particularly, it will be noted that these connections include a usual toothed disc I0 fixed to the shaft andv having a toothed sector II engaging with the teeth of a rotatable and reciprocable gear I2, which in turn is normally forced in one direction by a coiled spring I3 and carried on a spacing sleeve I4. The gear I2 herein also has usual ratchet teeth I5 of a well known construction fixed thereto and adapted to co-operate with the usual side apertures in a ratchet wheel I6, while the latter, in turn,vcarries a toothed member I1 forming a clutch member co-operating with a continuously toothed member or gear I8 forming a part of the dial unit A and normally rotatable with the rest thereof. Moreover, it will be noted that a pawl I9 is provided on the shaft 2 to engage with the edges of the teeth of the member I6 and that this pawl is connected with a coiled spring 2U which in turn has its opposite end connected to the casing below the shaft 2. Here attention is also directed to the fact that a Second coiled spring 2| is provided at the opposite end of the shaft 2 and has one end connected to the top of the shaft while the other is extended around under the shaft and connected to the front wall of the casing I near the top of the latter at a point above the shaft. With this mechanism it will be evident that upon reverse ovements of the member 3, the shaft 2 will be moved in such manner as to actuate the ratchet wheel I6 through members I0, I2 and I5, and thereby cause rotation of the um't A with the member I6 and relative to the shaft 1. Further, it will be evident that through the provision of usual transfer pinions 22 disposed between the units A and B, the units B and C, and C and D, the several units will carry in a well known manner, the pinions herein beingmounted on a usual shaft 23 suitably journaled in the casing I below and at one side of the shaft 1.
Referring more particularly to my improved counter units, it will be understood that each of the same is of identical construction, and that accordingly a description of one will suffice for all. In Figures 4 and 'l to 11 inclusive it will be noted that unit A comprises in addition to the gear I8 previously mentioned, a. bushing 25 on which the gear I8 is rotatable and which extends therefrom axially through the rest of the unit between the elements thereof and the shaft 1 on which the bushing is normally freely rotatable. Moreover, it will be noted that next the gear I6 is disposed the counting or number wheel 26 which in turn houses within the same the usual driving pawls 21 pivoted at 28 on the gear and connected by a usual spring 23, and which wheel 26 however also forms a part of the predetermining mechanism, as hereinafter described. It will also be observed that the bushing 25 is provided with a flange 30 near its right hand end and that a usual peripherally notched ratchet wheel 3|, co-operating with' the pawls and rotatable with the wheel 26, is provided in the number wheel' 26 between this flange and the number wheel. As shown, a collar 32 is also fixed on the sleeve against the opposite side of the number wheelAin such manner as to form a unitary construction. Herein, it will also be noted that a co-operating predetermining number wheel 33'of slightly larger diameter than the wheel 26 is journaled for rotation on the left hand end of this collar 32, while a conically coiled spring 34, herein having four coils, is housed between the number wheels 33 and 26 and normally acts to force the number wheel 33 to the left. As shown herein a locking disc 35 is also provided to the left of this number wheel 33 and the collar 32, which in turn is provided with a single peripheral aperture 36. This locking disc 35 herein carries within the same a pawl 31 seated at one end in a suitable bearing 33 and having its opposite end acted upon by a suitable spring or clip 35 of U-shape and carried in a corresponding oppositely located bearing 40, in such manner that the pointed working end of the paw] 31 is normally projected downward through a longitudinal slot 4I i1- the left hand end oi' the sleeve 25 and ready to engage with one wall of a longitudinal groove or keyway 42 provided in the shaft 1 upon rotation of the latter in one direction and as hereinafter described, to eiect resetting. Both the pawl and spring are readily removable from the side of the locking disc through a V- shaped side aperture 43 therein connecting the bearing apertures 38 and 40 and the axial bore for the shaft. Here it will also be noted that a two-toothed driver or carrying member or gear y 44 is provided on the sleeve 25 outside of and in registry with its co-operating locking disc 35 so that both will co-operate with the first transfer gear 22 in a well known manner. t will also be understood that the members 44, 35,' 32, 26 and 3I are staked or otherwise suitably connected to the bushing 25 for rotation therewith. Here attention is also particularlydirected to the fact that the locking disc 35 herein has a laterally projecting pin 45 near its periphery projecting laterally toward the predetermining number wheel 33'and having an end or head receivable in any one of ten corresponding but elongated and radially disposed apertures 46 in that member 33 each 0pposite a number on the periphery of that member. From the above, it will be evident that through the interconnection of the pin 45 with any aperture 46 and the action of the coiled spring 34, all of the elementsof each unit, beginning with the gear I8 and extending through the carrying gear 44, will normally rotate as a umt, while through the pawl and ratchet connection 21, 3l all parts of each unit are also rotatable relative to the gear I 8. It Will also be evident that it is possible to change the adjustment of the member 33 at will by iirst simply moving' the same t0 the right to disengage the aperture 46 from the pin 45 and then rotating the member 33 bodily about the collar 32 in such manner as to bring the desired number thereon into exposed position at the top oi the unit. There, upon release of the member 33, the spring 34 will force the parts together, the pin 45 then entering into the selected aperture 46. It will also be evident that as the members 33 on the several units are each independently adjustable in the same manner, it is made possible for the predetermined number for which the mechanism is to be set to be varied at will.
Operatively associated with this mechanism is controlling mechanism operative when the predetermined number has been reached. More particularly, it will be noted that each of the predetermining wheels 33 is provided with an opening or notch in its periphery herein indicated at 5U, the notches 50 in each wheel being disposed in the same position and between the numbers 5 and 6 on the periphery of the number wheel so that all the notches will be in alignment when the several number wheels 33 are in zero position, i. e. with the zeros on the several wheels 33 in alignment. Co-operating with these notches 50 is a series of rolls 5I carried on a swinging roll carrying member 52 which is, in turn, mounted on a supporting shaft 53 suitably journaled in the casing I parallel to the controlling `shalt 5 and herein having a gear 54 meshing with a smaller gear 55 on the controlling shaft 5. As a result of this construction, it will be evident that when the shaft 5 is provided with the usual weight or spring connection, herein illustrated in the form of a weight 56, the shaft 5 will normally be4 held against rotationthrough its gearing connection with the shaft 53, so long as the rollers ride over the unnotohed .portion of the number wheels 33. When, however, the notches 50 therein come into alignment, the rollers 5I will drop into-the aligned notches and the shaft 5 will be automatically operated in a well known manner to operate a signal or shut down the machine,
as is usual in such devices.
operatively associated with the mechanism so far described, is the resetting mechanism. This, herein, is automatically operative upon rotation of the wing nut 6 to move both the predetermining number wheels 33, 26 relative to the gears |8 in passing from the positions which they will occupy at the completion ofthe predetermined count and shown in Figure 2, to the positions which they occupied when beginning the count and shown in Figure 1. More particularly, it will be noted that, as the shaft 1 is rotated by the wing nut 6, the various pawls 31 will drop into the keyway 42 in the shaft as soon as a predetermined relation is present between the shaft and number wheels 26. Thus, for example, as shown in Figure 2, with the first left hand number wheel 26 at zero, its pawl 31 will herein engage the keyway 42, and immediately upon rotation of the wing nut 6 and shaft 1, the unit D will commence to rotate with it and continue alone until unit D cornes into alignment with any of the other units, whereupon that additional unit or units will begin to rotate therewith, and the picking up or resetting operation will thus continue in a well known manner until all of the units are rotated into the starting position shown in Figure l, which is the zero position of the number wheels 26. Further, it will be evident that, since the predetermining wheels 33 are held by the pins 35 in definite angular relation to the wheels 26, these wheels 33 will be rotated with the wheels 26, and accordingly be returned to their initial position shown in Fig. 1, wherein it will be noted that these wheels 33 again indicate the predetermined number for which the mechanism is set.
operatively associated with the mechanism described is also improved means.or facilitating setting of the number wheels 33. This mechanism herein includes the releasing member 8 which is conveniently located at the front of the left hand end of the counter so as to be readily depressible by one hand while the other is used to adjust the wheels 33. Herein, the member 3 is provided with a portion extending transversely above the shaft 1, with a portion 6l extending downwardly from the portion 60 in back of the shaft, and which is journaled at its lower f end on the shaft 23, and with aportion 62 extending forwardly from the lower end of the portion 6| beneath the shaft 1 and above the meinber 52. Thus, upon depression of the member 8, its portion 62 will depress the member 52 and the rollers 5i carried thereon. As a result of this construction, it will be observed that the number wheels 33 are released by the disengagement of the rollers 5l in their notches 50 and are accordingly freely movable from one position of adjustment to another. It will also be evident that while the interlocking of the rollers in the notches in any of the members 33 is prevented so longas the member 8 is depressed, the latter, upon release, will be automatically elevated and release the member 52, all as a result of the automatic action of the weighted control shaft 5.
In the operation of my improved construction, assuming that it is desired, for example, to -set the parts for 665 operations, the parts are adjusted to the positions shownin Figure 1. There it will be noted that the usual number wheels 26 of all the units A, B, C and D are in zero position, while the predetermining number wheels of C, B and A respectively expose the numerals 6, 6, 5 respectively, and the wheel 33' of unit D shows a zero. In this particular starting position it will be noted that the notches 50 of the members 33 of the units A, B and C occupy the position shown, wherein they are not in alignment, although they of course Would be in alignment if the predetermined number desired was 666. Upon continued operations of the lever 3. the unit A will be operated in a well known manner and will in turn, through the first transfer pinion 22, have its revolutions carried to the unit B while the revolutions of the unit B will be carried to the unit C. As this continues, the wheels 26 of the units A, B and C will add until their total is 665, while the number wheels 33, though not subtracting uniformly at all stages, since the carrying mechanism for the wheels 2S will not permit uniformoperation, will nevertheless all tend to subtract and will all indicate zero when the `predetermined number is shown by the working wheels 26. When the wheels 33 all thus indicate zero, their notches 50 will then be aligned and the rollers 5I will then drop into the same in such manner as to enable operation oi' the controlling shaft 5 and the consequent operation of a signal or shutting down the machine as may be desired. When, however, the operator wishes to resume counting, it is only necessary for him to turn the wing nut 6 in such manner as t0 rotate the shaft 1 and thereby pick up the several units in such manner as toreset the mechanism to again count up to the predetermined number 665, the several wheels being returned to their original position indicated in Figure l. If, on the other hand, the operafor desires to change the predetermined number, this is readily Aaccomplished by simply pushing each desired.
As a result of my improved construction,` it will be noted that it is possible to adjust the predetermining members 33 relative to the transfer elements on each unit including the gears I8, when these gears are in mesh with their transfer pinions, While the members 26 other than that on unit A, are similarly freely adjustable relative to the gears I3 and move with the piedetermining members 33 relative to these gears during resetting and while the gears i8 remain in mesh with their transfer pinions all in such manner as to insure accuracy. Attention is also directed to the facility with which the members 33 may be adjusted, and to the further fact that during setting the members 33 and 26 may be moved together by rotating the members 33, the members 26 then turning therewith until the latter members reach the desired positions, while the members 33 may thereafter be disengaged from the locking discs and moved independently relative thereto and vto the gears Il.
and members 26 into the desired positions. It will also be noted that the movement of the members 33 longitudinally of .their units to disengage the same from their locking discs, and
the necessary registration of the apertures 43 and' pins 45, also tends to minimize improper setting since the members 33 cannot be forced back by the spring from any non-registering position, and it is thus evident from the face of the units that one or more of the members 33 is not in proper position. It will also be evident that while the adjustment of these members 33 and 25 is possible without depressing the member 8, the depression of the latter will facilitate adjustment by throwing the rollers out of engagement with the notches in the members 33. Moreover, the predetermining number Wheel is adjustable relative to the counting number Wheel and the parts of the carrying mechanism on the unit at any time after the predetermined count has been reached, prior to the operation of the resetting mechanism and while the same remains in the position occupied at the completion of the predetermined count. Further, it will be noted that the member 8 can be depressed to release the rollers from engagement with the predetermining members without disconnecting the driving and driven gears of the several counter units from their transfer pinions, and without actuating the resetting mechanism. v It will also be noted that the predetermining number wheel is located intermediate, and completely occupies the space between, the counting number wheel and the locking disc of its unit and has a driving connection with said locking disc while being adjustable relative thereto. It will also be noted that the numbers on the predetermining number wheels progress in the opposite direction from the direction of those on the counting number wheels, lthus enabling adjustment of the predetermining number wheels to set up thereon, with one integer in each number on separate units A, B, C and D, in such manner as to provide a direct reading number equal to the count desired, while a like but reversed arrangement is produced on the counting number wheels following each count. Further, with the counting number wheels reset to zeros prior to a counting operation, and with a direct reading number representing the predetermined count set up on the predeterminng wheels, it will be evident that upon completion of the count, the zeros on the several counting wheels will appearon the predeermining wheels,l and the direct reading number of the count will appear on the counting wheels` These and other advantages of my improved construction will, however, be clearly apparent to those skilled in the art.
. In the use of my improved mechanism, it will be evident that various other standard forms of drive for the first dial unit A may be substituted for that shown without in any way affecting the operation of the mechanism. Further, it will be evident that the mechanism may be used with control shafts 5 of either the spring or weight operated type, and also that the movement of this control shaft may be utilized in any well known manner to operate a signal or shut down the machine as may be desired. In practice, it
' will also be understood that the two sets of number wheels 26 and 33 may be, and preferably are, made of contrasting materials in order to minimize confusion, the wheels 26, for example, in a preferred construction being provided with ename'ed faces, while the wheels 33 are of polished metal, although obviously various other contrasting arrangements may be used. Also it will be understood. that in certain forms the numbers may be left oi one or both of the wheels 28 and Letters Patent is:-
