A housing for self-contained, isolated or free-standing automats having a ratio of the floor area dimensions to the height which is relatively small, comprises individual wall elements, which correspond to the height of the housing and which are fabricated from extruded aluminum. Intermediate bases or bottoms are provided which are disposed in planes located transversely to the wall elements to which the wall elements are bolted so as to mutually or respectively overlap.

Housing for self-contained isolated automatic devices and the like

A printing mechanism, particularly for a counter device which records distances, is formed with a pair of sets of print wheels with a housing defining a slot through which a voucher may be passed to have imprinted thereon information contained on the print wheels. Platens are arranged to press the voucher against the print wheels and platen carriers which are rotatably mounted have the platens eccentrically mounted thereon. Overcenter springs engage the platen carriers, and after the carriers have been rotated through a predetermined angle, the overcenter springs drive the carriers through a further angle of rotation during which the platens are pressed against the print wheels during the printing process. The angle through which the platen carrier is initially rotated to load the overcenter spring is less than the angle through which the platen carrier is driven by the loaded overcenter spring.

A taximeter housing is securable to a vehicle part in such a manner that only two seals are required to prevent unauthorized tampering with the input connections, the interior components of the taximeter and the taximeter mount, and that only a single seal need be broken when it is necessary to gain access to the interior components to readjust the taximeter for a tariff change.

Taximeter and mounting arrangement

A mounting and demounting arrangement for an electric taximeter permits a mechanical-to-electrical converter to be slidably received into electrical contact with a socket provided in the taximeter housing or, at the option of a user, the mechanical-to-electrical converter is mounted at a location remote from the housing in order to protect a flexible shaft mechanically coupled to the converter from severe flexing.

Electric taximeter mounting and demounting arrangement

The recording system has a plurality of recording elements pivotally mounted to make marks in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of transport of the record carrier receiving the marks. Each recording element has a rigid electrically conductive L-shaped supporting member and an electrode mounted on the supporting member. The supporting members are mounted in recesses in a base of an electrically insulating structure. Specifically one leg of each supporting member has two supporting edges separated by a recess. The two edges are accommodated in corresponding openings in the base. An eccentric drives a drive arm having a plurality of plugs. A spring keeps the supporting member of each recording element in contact with the corresponding plug throughout the pivoting of the recording element.

Electrographical recording system

A cassette for tape-shaped record carriers having optically viewable recordings has a housing provided with a pair of opposite but spaced end walls and a pair of opposite but spaced side walls which connect the end walls and one of which is transparent. A pair of tape hubs is rotatably mounted in the housing and a tape is convoluted on and extends between the hubs for travel from one to the other thereof. One of the end walls is provided with an opening through which a recording device has access to the tape so as to provide recordings on the same. A guide arrangement in the interior of the housing guides the tape so that when it travels from one to the other of the hubs it must first pass the opening and thereupon must travel past the transparent side wall so that, when the cassette is inserted into an optical readout device, the recordings on the tape are visible through the side wall.
