-U.Nr-UED "K;ITATES PATENT OFFICE'. CLINTON E. LARRABEE, OF 13INGHAMTON, NFW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO INTERNATIONA.L TIME RECORDING COXFANY OF NEW YORK; A CORPO:RATION OF NEW YORK. RECORDER FOR REGISTERING LOCKS. 19327,334. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Jan. 6,1920. Application fLIed April 7, 1916. Serial No. 288,080. To all whom it may concern: Be it knoivn that 1, CLINTO@N E. LARRABFE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Binghaniton, in the county of Broom6 and State of New York, have invented certain new ancl useful Improvements in Recorders' for Registering Locks, of which the following is a full, clear, -,tnd exact descripti6n. There are at the present time in use, and lo there have been proposed a variety of recording locks, distinguished in general, by the combination with the lock mechanisms proper of means for operating a more or less remote mechanisn-i over suitable circuits 15 to record the particular key tised to operate the lock; the particular door or the, special lock attached to it which is operated, a ebaracter of figui-e which indicates whether the key was inserted from the outside or the 20 iiiside@ and otlier - data of a like useful nature. The invention upon which the present application for Letters Patent is based is an iiiiprovement in the recorders or the means 25 employed in such systems for. receiving and recording in permanent form, the inforniation of the nature referred to. The mechanism of my improved ihstrument is designed to be operated either man30 tially or electrically to record the data desired. It bas provision for recording the, signature of an employee in conjunction with the tinie at which the signature was iiiade, and other items of information, such 35 ',is marks or symbols indicating the door in ivhich @i lock is located, the parlticular key used and such others as htve been specified above. It is so arranged that @vhen being .used as a signature or autograph recorder, 40 certain parts only are operative while the others are locked against operation, while, when used in conjunction witl@ the automatic mechanism of the lock, the previously locked parts are brought into operation as 45 well as such of the other parts as may be .necessary. The apparatus is further desi--ned in such manner and form that when usi-d in co6peration with a lock to -a-Litomatically record@ it 5o cannot be oper',qted manually and vice versa, and it may be provided with means for giving a signal or alarm when operated at certain predetermined or unusual times. The invention resides in the construction 55 of the elements and in their novel combin ation to forn-i a iiiore effective and practic al mechanism and one n-iore dependable a nd reliable in operation than those which p receded it, and hence no further general st atement of its nature and plirpose will be 6 0 r equired foi@ its. proper cornprehension. In the accompanying dra-Ovings, which il lustrate'the details of fhe mechanism, Figure I is a side view looking from the ri ght, with parts of the casing removed, of 6 5 t he recorder proper. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same n iechanism on line 2-2 of Fig. 4. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the recorder mechanism with the printing elements re7 0 moved. Fig. 4 is a fi-ont view in elevation of the - apparatus with certaiii parts omitted. Fig. 5 is a detail view of parts of the d evice whiqh are designed for setting the 7 5 t ype segments for printing. Fig. 6 is an enlarged view, partly in elev ation and partly in section, of the operla ti@e recording mechani@m. Fig. 7 is a view of a portion of one of the 80 sl ips pi@inted by the recorder, and Fig. 8 is an electrical diagram of the s ystem includ.ing a plurality of recording l o@ks. The character of tl-ie locks used for oper- 8,5 a ting the recorder is not of the essence of t his invention, and may be greatly modified. I n a copending application. filed November 1 1, 1918, Serial No. 261,976, I have shown in d etail such a lock and.reference mtty be had g o t o the drawings and descriptions of that c ase for such information as may'be req uired as to the actual constr,uction of such, l ocks. In the apparatus of the present case the 95 p arts are properly associated in a casing 1, h aving @n inclined front 2, with a window o r opening 3 therein which may be either n ormally open or stand iform@,lly closed by a shield 4, adapted to be moved over a l oc p latfo@m 5 over, whi6h is carried a record s heet or strip of paper 6 from a supply r eel 7'to take up reel 8. The construction a nd mode of operation of the device when o perated manually may be first des@iibed. i o5 The main driv6 shaft is indicated by the n umeral 9, and for hand operati'on it is prov ided with a suitable crank 85 Fig. 4. Ass uming for the moment that, by means hereina$ter to be d.escribed,. the type on wheel 110

40 to indicate time have been set to printing position by the time mechanism, the turning of the shaft in a counter clockwise direction through a'given are rotates an arm 10 fast to the shaft to@ which is pivoted a link 11 connecting said arm to a bell crank lever 12 on a shaft 13, the end of which is formed as a cam which engtges 9, i-oller 14 on a lever 15, see Figs. 4 and 6. 1.0 A lever 16@ see Figs. 5 and 6 is fixed to a hub 78 on shaft 17 and having an extension 79 which interlocks or eiigages with a sleeve 81, which carries a projection 19 that is in the path of a bent projection 83 froiii one 15 of the plates 20 that carry the printing pad 21. The lever 16 has a bent or turned over end 18, as shown, which lies over the lever 15, and by the movement of the latter sleeve 81 ' is rotatod clockwise and this operates 20 thr?ugh the projoetion 19 to throw the spring actuated plate or levei- 20 carrying the p@inting pad 21 against the strip 6 and thlis print the set up characters which are in the printing position. 25 On a shaft 27 is mounted so as to turn thereon, a lever 26, condected by a link 30 to a pawl mechanism 31 which when shifted opera,tes to turn a ratchet wheel 32 about a sh,,:tft 33, in a counter-clockwise direction, 30 and to thereby wind up the paper reel 8 and feed the record sheet. Movement of sufficient extent to feed the paper so as to receive autographs is accomplished by the mechanism which opens the shutter 4. 35 On a shaft 27 is fixed t crank 28 to which crank is pivoted a link 29 that engages by, a slot and pin connection with the lever 12, so that when the main shaft 9 is rotated the shaft 27 is also turned .tncl in -,Ln anti-clock40 wise direction. Normally the window 3, in the inclined top of the casing is closed by the sliding plate or shutter 4, but this plate is connected by a link 38, with the. lever oil crank 28, so that when an employee operates 45- the instrument manually, the window is opened to permit him to write his nai-ne on the record strip. It willbe observed that by reason of the pin and slot connection between the lever 12 and'the link 29 that 50 shutter is not withdrawn until the main shaft.9 has been turned through a substantial arc. Keyed to the shaft 27 is an arm or lever 95 and iii the path of the end of this arm is 55 a projection or tiirned over portion 96 of the lever 26. Hence when the shaft 27 is tui-ned in an anti-clockwise direction by the, lever 28 ,tnd link 29, this arm engages the said turned over portion 96 of lever 26 and the 60 latter is moved through a siibstantial are and thereby imparts a feed movenient to the paper, ample to receive another autograph. The feed movement of the paper produced by the movement of the lever 26, also feeds 65 the inking ribbon 22, which is carried by 1,327,334 spools 23 on vertical spindles 24: liaviiig gear whee'ls 25 at their lower ends by the means shown in Figs. 1 and 2 which comprises a I)awl 34 pivoted to the lever 26 ,tnd opei@ating on a ratchet wheel 35 mounted on 70 a shaft 36, on the ends of which are gears 37. FiLys. 1, 2 tnd 4 which engtge alternately -@vith the gears 25 on spindles 24: and. thereby feed the inli:ing ribbon step by step. The time type wheels 40 are shown in Fig. 75 3 as being -.Ln gear Ni7ith ,t spindle 39, Nvhich is driven by a suit,@Lble clock which is not shown in the drawing, but in order that a minute type may be presented squarely to the printing pad whenever the latter is op- 80 erated, I employ what is termed an alining pawl 41, Fig. 2, which is moudted on a lever 42 and conneoted by a link 43 to the lever 20. The latter beink oscillated to effect the printing therefore moves the pawl 41 which 85 engages with a ratchet wheel 44 and thereby alines up the minute type wheel so that whole rninutes only will be printed and not parts of one or two adjacent numbers. As above stated, the apparatus is so ar- 90 raiiged that while, being manually operated it can not be operated b the loel-. rnechani@m. This 'may be accomplished by the rneans shown in Fig. 5. A lever 45 is pivoted in the instrument in such position that 95 an insulating pin 46 ctrried by it rides on a cam 17 on the main shaft 9. When the main shaft is turned from its nornlal position the cam raises the lever 45 and ea es ' us it to close two contacts 48 which complete a 100 circuit tothe lock or Jocks connected with th(i recorder and locks the mechanism thereof so that it can nct be opertted until the completion of the manual operation of the recorder, when the circuit between contacts 48 is again 105 broken. By the above describe(I use of the device the. eniployees of a store or any place of business may register their ari-ival or dep,,trture and the time thereof, but the pri- 110 mary object of the ,tpparatus is to record the exact time when any given lock was operated either to open the place or lock it up, tild ",ho was responsible for doin- these things. TI-ie oper,,ttion as controlled Ey one or aiiy 115 number of locks will therefore be described. The device is provided, conveniently, with three type controlling magnets 49, althougli t greater or even less nuniber rnight be used, and these are in circuits froiii one or iyiore 120 locks, the operation of which sends to said n-ia,-nets one or more clirrent irnptilses whicii set the type segments to briiiu the propel@ characters thereon to priiitin- position. Each of these magnets 49 has-tt-ii ai'mature 125 50 ctrried by a, I?ivoted lei,er 51 witli tn ari-ii thereoii a pivoted pawl 59,. -A 'current impulse iii a-mao-net sliifts the p,,Iwl 52 to the position shown- iii rA i-. 5 and on the ce-,sition of such jinpulse a spring 53 130

1,327,334 causes said pawl to engage, with a tooth of a segment 54 integral with the type segment 55, and thereby brings a @iew type to the printing 'position. A retaining pawl 56 nor5 mary eh@ages the teeth of the se 54 and preve-nts its return until afterfhmep-pntinta sll, ing operation, when a cam 57 on 't@ 58 engages . a bell crank lever 59 one end of which engages with a pin 60 on a lever 61, io and which m its niovement engages and releases the retaining pawl and also engages with the arm of the armature 51 and lifts the pawl 52 off the.toothed segment so that the type segmeni is restored to its normal posi15 tion after ewh cycle of operation. The type segments for each magnet are similar in construction and operation. The insertion of a given key into a given lock from a given side of the door ma@, for ex20 ample send four impulses to one magnet to represent the.key used, two impulses to another magnet to'indicate the lock operated, and onb impulse to the third magnet to indicat6 that the key was insertea from the out-- 25 side 'of the door. These signals set, up the respective type segments in proper position to print the.datai and after the printin@ 6 effected all the parts resume th@ir normal positions.. 3o After the proper impulses havebeen sent from and by -the lock m--chanism to the type setting magnets 49, ond the type, seg-@mpnts hgve been shifted --o as to - bring the proper t,ype thereon into the printing, position, a 35 Single impulse is seiit from the lock to a ma,gnet 62. This ma,- net, when energized, insulating plate, or bar 64 that engages and brings into contactwith each other the two 40 terminals 65 that close the 6ircuit to a motor 66 mounted in the lower part of the recorder casing. . As this impulse - is momen' @ary only, a pivoted pawl 67, with a, latching Pnd, e gages a pr I ojecfi'on on the arman 45 ture .63 and holds the, latter in attracted position and the terminals 65 in contact until - the shaft 58 has made a complete revolution, when the latch is released by a projection or cam 69 engaging-the end of the 50 lhtch 67 and thus releasilng the armaturo and permitting the terminals 65 to separate. T-he pow,er for operating the, recorder when oper@ated @y the lock meehanism is fur-nished by this motor 66. A gear 71 oa 55 the. motor shaft. imparts rot.ati6n to a vertical shaft 'i2, and in tum by a, worm 73 imparts rotatioii to the shaft 58. To one end of this sbaft there, is eccentrically wn.nected a link 74 which is @ivoted to a f@ver 75, likp, 60 the corresponding end -of the lever 12, is formed as a,,cam' t -hat works on a pin 76 on a, plate 77, see, Figs. I and 6, that is designed to perform the s,,tme printing operation as plate or lever.-15, and in the same way. As 65 the motor. shaft makes one c6mplete. revolution for each cycle -of @Qperation the link 74: and le-%,er 75 are moved back and*forth ancl roduee the same moveinent of the second p nt - ng pad as is effected -lofith respeet to pri 1 @l pad 2 by the manual o-peration of the 70 shaft - 9. Manifestly, when operated manually as an autograph recorder,. the instrument should record or. print from the time type wheels ohly,'but when operated. by a lock 75 it @,hould print from both the, time type wheejs and the indicating segni@ents. This is, accomplished by the means shown most cl@arly iii Fi@,. 6. In this figure, as has been set forth t-h-e plate or lever 15 is fixed to 80 the hiib '78 with the extension 79, which turns freely'-o,n the shaft 17. The said hub, @y its inte@locking engagement with sleeve 8.1, operates the priliting pad -for the time type wheels only when the pin 14 is engaged 85 by the mm end of lever 12 there.heing no connection between those paxts and the shaft 17. On the other hand, sh6uld the levei@ 75 be @perated by the loclc mechanishi, the pin 76 90 is enga,&ed which moves the armattire, plate 77,and thus engages a bent lever 90 fas-t t6 the shaft 17, w-hich is thereby rotat@d. The shaft xiot only carries a projection 8,6, which enga s with a stop 87 on'one of the plates 95 ge or lever 88 connected with thi- paa for the indicating segments, similar in all respects to the'projection 19 and stop 83 of Fig. 5 and thereby operates that pad, but the shaft 17 also carries a similar projectioii- 82 that 100 e4gages a stop 91 on one of tho, plates contype wheels, and operates that pad also. The several projecti6ns and stops-above, described are not illustrated in detail except IL05 that in Fig. 5, but they are a.11 simil'ar in general construction and may be very greatly niodified if necessar . .y When the recording mee-hanipm is oper-ated,by the lock, the paper strip must be fed, 110 but iiot to th6 same extent as by the operation of the, manual or autograph mechanism. This is accomplished by the means sho'w-n in Fig. 2. When the shaft 13 is rotztted by - the swinging of le-*,ei- 75, Fig. 1, a@ii arm 92 115 fixed to' saia shaft and which carries a pin 93 in its end, travels in a slot in, the 6nd of a link 94. This liiik is pivotally connected to the 1OVer 26, tuming ab(>ut the shaft 27: as a center. By reason of the slot and pirl 121, connection, the mov--ir ont thus imparted to the lever 26 is not as extended as when it is moved by the erank arm 95, and a, corre-spondingly shorter fe6d movement is therefore imparted to the papers. 125' The above description covers so fai As is necessary for one skilled in this art the, knowledge: to, construqt and to operate the ree4arde@. -It rp-madns therefore to describe, only in such general way as is requisite to 130 attracts its arinature 63 which carries an'. nected, with the printing pad for the time

.WA 1,327,,334 an understanding bf the present invention, time recotd, a set of indicating type wheels, the nature of the system with which the a printing pad therefor, circuits from such device is iiiore pai-ticulai-ly - -@ a device as a recordin - designed to L g lock for setting the used. For this purpose reference ma,.y be 5 h-,id t Fl 8. In this re A indic,,ttes one locl@:, B anotliei- or othei-s, ii-id C the recorder which has been desci-ibed iii- det,,til above.

To provide for the converse of tliis, and,. prevent' mai.iual operation while a key is being turned in the lock, I employ an electro-magnet 109, Fig. 5, which operates a pivoted. 30 armature lever 110 that when the magnef is energized eng-,tges a notch in the'eam 47. Whe,never a key is inserted iri a lock and turned it closes contacts in the, lock that e.omplete a circuit Ill including the magnet 35 109, and so locks the main shaft 9 against rot@tioii by hand -until the key has been turned ba@k and -withdrawn. , Between the two wires 106 and 107, th6 former connected with the lock mechanism 40 and the other to the relcorder terminal fron-i the in and out magnet 49, is a, switch fOS and during such hours as the lock should not be operated at all a plug may b iiiserted e in this switch so that a current will be sent 45 over this circuit wheneyet a ke@is inserted in the lock from either side. his cireiiit may lead to a burglar alarm station at any convenient'place and set off an alarm'*hich v 50 g@ es notice that an unalithorized use is being made of the lock. It will be understood that except so far as the',r respective functions are concefned the elements shown and described herein as making up this system may be modified in55 definitely in construction.
