ABSTRACT:
A cash register mechanism has targets swingable up and down between a lowered concealed horizontal retracted position and a raised visible position close to and behind a window by means of pushrods actuated by key levers. The pushrods have latchable keeper lugs which when the pushrods move up, bear laterally against a flange on a pivoted latch plate, and move to a position above the flange where the flange can underlie the keeper lugs to maintain the pushrods and targets raised. The latch plate is spring biased toward latching position. The keeper lugs tend to cam the latch plate toward the released position and bow the pushrods in the opposite direction. The latch plate is pivoted at the bottom and the flange inclines upwardly and laterally therefrom toward the pushrods. The pushrods are relatively flexible. When a keeper lug overlies the flange, spring biases oppose releasing movement of the latch plate, permitting additional targets to be raised without camming the latch plate to released position.
The targets, pushrods and their supporting means are formed as an integral plastic molding.
The targets are releasable to return to retracted position by a release cam engageable with the latch plate carried by a stiffer pushrod actuatable by a target release lever.
