41 Arrangement for the self-wiping of contacts in multidigit interrogating counters US206355 1980-11-13 US4403335A 1983-09-06 Hans-Joachim Wendt; Helmut Muller
An arrangement for the self-wiping of contacts in multidigit interrogatory counters where the data are read through code wheels to contact wheels and to mechanical sliding contacts which sense the contact wheels. The improvement includes the arranging of the rotatably-mounted contact wheels to be mounted, independently from the frictional effect caused by the counting procedure during rotation on a movable shaft. Eccentrics control the movement of the movable shaft which make it possible to move the contact wheels in an oscillating manner against contact springs. This is accomplished in the overlap region for sensing the individual numbers.
42 Counters reset to zero by push buttons US19139 1979-03-09 US4197452A 1980-04-08 Susumu Sato
In a counter reset to zero by a push button and adapted to be mounted on a tape recorder or the like, there are provided a U shaped frame including a bottom plate, a pair of side plates, a spacer parallel with the side plates, a plurality of pinion aligning resilient members secured to the bottom plate, a digit wheel shaft supported by the side plates, a plurality of digit wheels rotatably mounted on the digit wheel shaft, and a driving gear rotatably mounted on the digit wheel shaft for driving a digit wheel of the lower most order. Each digit wheel comprises a heart shaped cam and a gear on one side and a carry pin gear on the other side. A zero resetting bracket is pivotally mounted on the frame and is provided with actuating members for actuating the heart shaped cams. The digit wheels are rotated by the source of drive of the tape recorder through the driving gear and each time a digit wheel of the lower order completes one revolution, a digit wheel of the higher order is rotated by one digit. A push button is mounted on either one of the side plates for simultaneously resetting to zero all digit wheels. In a modification a contact mechanism is provided for producing an electric signal which stops the operation of the tape recorder when the display of a digit wheel of the highest order changes from 9 to 0.

44 Counting device US37695073 1973-07-06 US3896298A 1975-07-22 HAYDON ARTHUR W
A transfer counter in which the higher order register drums are controlled by planetary gearing carried on flexible, resiliently biased transfer arms and in which lugs or depressions on the periphery of the drums actuate a series of switches to provide coded electrical signals which correspond to the angular positions of the drums. The switches are mounted on a single printed circuit read-out board for all of the drums which extends in a plane parallel to the drums'' axis of rotation. The transfer of the drums is prevented during the electrical reading of the switches, and for resettable counters the switches are rendered inactive when the counters are being reset.
45 Elapsed event recorder US30427772 1972-11-06 US3866021A 1975-02-11 KESSLER STANLEY
An elapsed event recorder for counting a series of reoccurring events and stamping on a record card indicia representing the accumulated event count. The recorder has a count accumulating register mounted within a housing and including a set of rotary marking wheels which are driven in stepwise rotation like odometer wheels in response to the successive events being recorded in such away that the wheels accumulate the event count. The recorder is operable at random intervals to engage the marking wheels with the record card in such a way as to stamp on the card indicia representing the event count currently accumulated in the register. Return of the marking wheels to their normal recording position resets the wheels to zero to condition the register for the next recording cycle.

48 Method and apparatus for detecting and representing in binary form digital indication of measuring instrument for recording US3798634D 1970-11-24 US3798634A 1974-03-19 KAMADA T
The invention provides an electric system and apparatus for generating the electrical signals representing in binary code a digital indication of a measuring instrument such as a gas meter, etc. Apparatus comprises coding means such as pins or permanent magnets arrayed in rows and columns around the periphery of each digit disk of a counter in the measuring instrument so as to represent in binary code the decimals, for example, from 0 to 9 positioned around the periphery of each disk: detecting means such as electric contacts or relays actuable by the pins or reed switches actuable by the permanent magnets, disposed along the detecting line at which the pins or permanent magnets represent in binary form the indication of the measuring instrument; and terminals electrically connected to the coding and detecting means so as to derive the electrical signals from the apparatus. Detecting means are selectively closed or opened depending upon the presence or absence of coding means, in the detecting position, representing the indication in binary form so that the electrical signals representative of the presence or absence of the coding means appear at the terminals. That is, electrical signals representing in binary code the indication of the measuring instrument are generated. Automatic recording of the indication or data of the instrument may be possible without involving any human error and these data recorded on a tape may be directly fed to a data processing system such as card-punches. The apparatus may be used also as a coding apparatus for use in on-line telemetering systems. The visual display of the indication is also possible by marking the decimals around the periphery of each digit wheel.

52 Metering stations US3636517D 1969-12-15 US3636517A 1972-01-18 STOTEN TERENCE ARTHUR
A meter station has a main counter displaying an all-time total mechanically coupled to drive a reversible counter the reading of which is also displayed. The drive is through a differential gear device incorporated in the first decade wheel of the reversible counter. Pulses supplied from and counted at a remote interrogator station reset the reversible counter by means of a solenoid lever mechanism. The pulse supply is stopped by a zero switch opened by the reversible counter when the decade wheels show between zero and minus one so that the lever mechanism will complete its last cycle even though the reversible counter is being driven by the main counter. In a modification, the solenoid lever mechanism and the counter at the interrogator station operate alternately in half-cycle steps so that the interrogation proceeds at the operating speed of the mechanism resetting reversible counter.
