Plural Key Operated Totalizers For Gasoline Sales Pump

View page
US Patent:
42174856, Aug 12, 1980
Filed:
Jan 25, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/006534
Inventors:
Eugene F. Settlemire - Tucson AZ
International Classification:
B67D 522
US Classification:
235 94R
Abstract:
A plate adapted to be mounted over an opening in the casing of a gasoline sales pump supports a frame which in turn rotatably and axially slidably supports a plurality of totalizer shafts and dial wheels, and a drive shaft with plural gears each associated with one of the totalizers. Each totalizer shaft has a gear engagable with a gear on the drive shaft by axial motion of the totalizer shaft. A drive gear on the drive shaft is permanently connected to the resettable register of the pump. Springs bias the totalizer shafts out of engagement with the drive shaft gears. Actuating levers pivoted on the plate engage the totalizer shafts in opposition to the springs. A selector bar slidable through the plate opposite each level has an angled end that cams the lever to totalizer engaging position. Springs bias the selector bars, and plural locks having key actuated cylinders move the selector bars against their springs. Two detents or slide bars supported on opposite sides of the selector bars have cam openings that coact with the opposite ends of pins projecting from the selector bars to prevent depression of a second lock cylinder and selector when another is already depressed, and to release the first actuated detent by linial movement of the other detent.

Plural Key Actuated Totalizer For Gasoline Sales Pump

US Patent:
42800358, Jul 21, 1981
Filed:
Feb 13, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/121099
Inventors:
Eugene F. Settlemire - Tuscon AZ
International Classification:
B67D 522
US Classification:
235 94R
Abstract:
Plural totalizers having axially shiftable shafts, and key actuated locks for moving the shafts, are mounted on a plate adapted to be connected over an opening in the case of a gasoline sales pump. Plural key actuated locks with lugs on the undersides of their cylinders selectively cam the ends of the shafts to connect one shaft to a shaft driven by the sales register of the pump. Detents co-act with slides on the bottom of each cylinder to permit only one cylinder and totalizer shaft to be engaged at a time. One detent closes a switch on the plate when actuated to complete a circuit to the pump delivery device. The other detent is actuated by a lever supported on the plate and adapted to be connected to the reset lever of the pump to release both detents and a first actuated lock cylinder prior to a succeeding actuation of the pump. Flanges turned from the plate support the totalizers with the shafts of the totalizers projecting therefrom. The lock bodies are connected opposite the ends on the shafts to another flange turned from the plate.
