Description:

Abstract:

My invention relates to railway ticket-punches, and has for its object the construction of the cutting-dies of the punch in such manner that the piece of paper or cardboard cut out by the punch will be cut into two or more pieces, so as to prevent it being successfully replaced in the original ticket, and also that the punch will simultaneously perforate the ticket around that portion which is punched out by the cutting-dies.

Claim:

In a ticket-punch consisting of two opposite jaws capable of being brought together and carrying male and female dies adapted to cut or punch out a piece of the ticket, a male die in which the main cutter b is provided with a supplemental narrow transverse cutting-edge c, mounted on the face thereof and adapted to evenly slit or cut the punctured part immediately prior to the action of the main cutter b thereon, so that the punctured part of the ticket shall be cut and discharged in two or more parts.
