Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A card punch system comprising, in combination, a card punch machine including program drum contacts operated in accordance with a program code and data-entering means for entering data into the machine, a remote data source having a plurality of sections electrically connected to the data-entering means, and circuit means including a plurality of gates one for each data source section and converter means between the program drum contacts and the gates so controlled by the program drum contacts that the converter means opens only one gate at a time, an open gate enabling transfer of data from its respective data source section to the data-entering means, whereby data is entered into the card punch machine automatically from the data source in serial fashion in accordance with said program code.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
A card punch system comprising, in combination, a card punch machine including program drum contacts operated in accordance with a program code and data-entering means for entering data into the machine, a remote data source having a plurality of sections electrically connected to the data-entering means, and circuit means including a plurality of gates one for each data source section and converter means between the program drum contacts and the gates so controlled by the program drum contacts that the converter means opens only one gate at a time, an open gate enabling transfer of data from its respective data source section to the data-entering means, whereby data is entered into the card punch machine automatically from the data source in serial fashion in accordance with said program code.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A card punch system according to claim 1 wherein the data source is a weighting scale weight readout and each data source section corresponds to one number place in the weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
80 words
A card punch system comprising, in combinAtion, a card punch including program drum contacts operated in accordance with a program code and producing a number of signals in accordance with the program code, a data source electrically connected to the card punch, and circuit means driven by the program drum contacts electrcially connected to the data source for increasing said number of signals and entering data automatically into the card punch in serial fashion in accordance with said program code.
