A. J. GOOLEY. REGISTBRING DEVICE'.
No. 566,297. Patented ug. 25, 1896.
Nirnn iSterns ALBERT JAY COOLEY, 0F NEW' YORK, N. Y.
REGISTERING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 566,297', dated August 25, 1896. Application tiled February 17, 1896. Serial No. 579,495. (No model.)
T0 all whom, t may 00u/cern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT JAY CooLEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Registering Devices, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to improvements in registering devices, and has for its object to supply an article of this character which will be adaptable for the use of store-keepers, whereby they can keep an approximate account of their stock without the necessity of making memoranda or other written data.
The device comprises few and simple parts, and it is inexpensive and durable.
The invention will be hereinafter fully described, and specifically set forth in the annexed claims.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved device. Fig. 2 isa rear elevation thereof, and Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional elevation taken on a line :t :t of Fig. 2.
In the practice of my invention I provide a dial A, which comprises, preferably, a single sheet of cardboard of circular shape, which sheet has cut therein around its entire edge radial slots a, as illustrated by dotted lines of Fig. 2. Engaging with these said slots are a series of buttons B, the shanks b of which buttons are passed through the inner end of the said slots from front to rear. They are then strung upon a semiiexible cord C, the ends of which cord are joined together to produce an annular retaining-string for the buttons. Having secured the buttons upon the string (l, the segments a between the slots a are folded rearwardly upon themselves and upon the back of the dial A, to which dial they are pasted at their inner ends. They are then further secured by a circular piece of paper E, which is pasted to the rear portion of their inner ends and to the back of the dial, whereby an annular channel a2 is provided for the reception of the cord O. The dial is then pivotally secured to a retaining-strip D, which strip is provided at its upper end with an aperture CZ, adapted to engage with a suitable hook or nail F, from which the device is suspended.
The pivotal attachment between the dial A and the strip D comprises, preferably, an eyelet l.
To complete the device,it must have printed upon its face the names of any suitable collection of articles of merchandise in which the person using it is dealing. These said names are printed upon linesv which radiate from the center of the dial through the slots a.
As an illustration of the use of the device, I have supplied the dial, Fig. 1 of the drawings, with the names of certain books, and each radial line from the slots a should be supplied with the name of a book or publica tion, but the drawings only show a few names for purposes of illustration.
In the operation and use of the device, every radial space opposite the slots being supplied with the name of an article being dealt in by the user, and said articles all being in stock, the buttons B are turned to the rear of the dial. When the supply of any article is eX- hausted the store-keeper or user immediately turns the button opposite to the name of the exhausted article forward as an indication that said article is out of stock. Forinstance, the device being in use bya dealer in books, as illustrated by Fig. l of the drawings, Domhey di" Son, Uncle Benjamin, and the Three Gacwdsmen are out of stock, as the buttons opposite the names of said books are turned upon the face of the dial, and all other books registered upon the face of said dial are in stock, as the buttons opposite their names are turned to the rear of the dial. The store-keeper can therefore tell at a glance just what books or other articles are out of stock.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A registering device comprising a dial having names of objects thereon and .a series of peripheral slots opposite said names, and a series of buttons which are strung together IOO in engagement with said slots, substantially as shown and described.
2. A registering device comprising a dial and the pivoted suspending-strip, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my naine, in presence of two Witnesses, this 14th day of February, 1896.
ALBERT JAY COOLEY.
