  Inventor of the Week: Archive
James Jacob Ritty, inventor of the first working version of a mechanical cash register, was born in Dayton, Ohio in 1837.
Ritty, who called himself a "Dealer in Pure Whiskies, Fine Wines, and Cigars," is said to have attracted a number of famous customers to his saloon, including Buffalo Bill Cody, prizefighter Jack Dempsey, and bankrobber John Dillinger.
One of the biggest problems Ritty had at his bar was that some of his employees were dishonest, and would take the customersê money and pocket it, rather than despositing the cash that was meant to pay for the food, drink, and other wares.

The wing is an obvious anticipation of that in the Ritty and Birch patent, and the whole device differs from it, in principle, only in the absence of the connecting mechanism between the keys and the pivoted wing.
It was intended, as in the Ritty and Birch machine, to release with certainty the exposed tablet, when another one was lifted, and it appears to accomplish that result satisfactorily, but by a wholly different means from that employed by Ritty and Birch.
Ritty and Birch invented a train of mechanism to operate the pivoted wing; defendant adopted a similar method to operate a sliding bar.

 Where Did the Cash Register Come From?
The cash register is a very important part of how commercial transactions have been done since 1879 when James Ritty invented the Ritty model after the Civil War.
Ritty was inspired by seeing a tool that counted propeller revolutions on a steamship, so with the help of John Birch in 1883, he was able to patent his Ritty Model.
But Ritty became quite overwhelmed with running his cash register business and his saloon, so he sold all of the interest in his cash register business to a Cincinnati man by the name of Jacob H. Eckert.

'''James Jacob Ritty''' (* 1837 in Dayton, Ohio; 1918) war ein US-amerikanischer Lokalbesitzer in Dayton, der 1879 die erste Registrierkasse mit zum Patent anmeldete, um sich so seiner diebischen Bediensteten erwehren zu können.
Nachdem Ritty eine kleine Fabrik zur Herstellung seiner "Ritty's Incorruptible Cashiers" gegründet hatte, war er bald mit der Leitung zweier Betriebe überfordert - immerhin sollen sich in seinem "Pony House" Größen wie Buffalo Bill Cody, Jack Dempsey und der Bankräuber John Dillinger eingefunden haben.
Rittys Pony House wurde von 1882 bis 1967 ununterbrochen fortgeführt - auch in den Zeiten der Prohibition, damals als "Pony House Stag Hotel".
