I mount a fare register, which is indicated with the nu.'V iii: t" 1 the reference numeral 7 upon the inner f b. sii/le of the partition 8 which divides the car proper from the platform.

of this patent a single actuating member is.`

o eratively connected to and forms a part o both the setting means and the operating means. The means for setting the register to register a particular fare and for operating the same to register that fare forni no part of the present invention and I have, therefore, shown only so much of these means asis nec/essary to illustrate the application of my invention thereto.

This tare register may be of any suitable type whit-,li L is adapted to register any one ot a series The 1 hrase settin the fare register and siml iler expressions, as used in the specification and claims, refer tothe operation of set ting the several parts of the fare i'egisierr ing mechanism in such a position that, when the registering mechanism is operated, ej predetermined fare will be registered. The f actuating member of the fare register is here shown at 9 and is adapted to be rotate about a longitudinal axis to set the fare register and to be moved longitudinally te Operate the registering mechanism to reg In Figs. 13 t0 16 I have illus i ister the fare.

trated one form of register in which such f an actuating member is employed. This register comprises end members i200 having Journaled therein countershiifls. one ot' which is indicated at i201. Mounted upon each countershaft is a plurality of printingv counters each preferably comprising a type disk 202 and a gear wheel Q03. Extending parallel with this eountershaft and in a plane located above the same is an actuator shaft 204 having a suitable toothed actuator 205 slidably mounted thereon but rotatable therewith. This actuator adapted to 'ne moved longitudinally of the actuating shaft 204 to bring the same into operative relation With the desired counters and then to he rotated, by the rotation of the shaft, to actuate saidcounters. The longitudinal movement of the actuator is acctim lished by means of a setting shaft 200 which is here shown as a screw shaft rotatably mounted intlie end members and having mounted thereon a nut 207 provided with a dependi ing portion or yoke 208,. the arms of which extend on the opposite sides of the actuator 205. thereby causing the actuator to inove screw shaft here shown iii i'., und nhuv n iiiinilieiffwir iii finiti shaft. 4 reise conn. io minste the permit tir i to gli@ shzzfi'. hi I.) ineiiiber adapta suitable pera tia scribed and f: he set, the insoluti in fare which usi-.i 'new movement et' the actuator ,is ficcoiiip:IM trai'isversely re mounted cn a its rear edge a i with zi pinion inner end ci :i end of the :iftiiziii the end ineinliw putin HHM allai ilifi invention ilu; mun. i .iueiiiber with. im' inveiitiiin :iii @initiated provided e trol. oi" shaft to i-vf. sired fare anism indepeiiil anisni for :iet 'i register the fait. ti'atiiig the inve! drawings, une it s' i1.55 1n which I have presided f a pinion il wizarii i .adapted io receive a pin eraoly accomplished by mounting elle shaft in Suitable brackets o bearings l2 eiteruiing atram-3verselvv to dig mail and supported by Side members i3 ofthe srigoporiiug frame 14.

I have also provided means for preventing more than one of the push-buttons 54 from being actuated at the same time. To this rnd, lY have provided the easing 48 with a proeetiou 5S, in which the push-rods 53 are mounted and which is provided with a luirizontal slot. or guideway 59, the pushro 53 having their upper portions, whirh exterul into this slot, out away, as shown at (S0, thereby forming a continuous slot-` Mounted in this slot are a plurality of disks 531, the combined Width of which is less than the length of the slot 59, the difference between the combined Width of the several disks (31 and the length of the slot 59 being substantially equal to the greatest diameter ot' one or the push-rods Each push-rod has its upper portion, which lies adjacent to the eut-away portion 60, pointed, as shown n, i352.
