Sales, systematic arrangements for effecting. - For facilitating sales and the assembling of customers' purchases in the dispatch department of a stores or the like, the customer is provided with a card a having a carbonized leaf attached on which is written the customer's name and address and any other information required, a duplicate record of which is thus given on the card itself. Over this leaf is a set of perforated tickets b numbered consecutively in pairs from the bottom right-hand corner, the tickets also bearing a distinguishing number as shown. They are coated at the back with adhesive, and are fastened to the card by the adhesive through a series of punched holes g in the leaf. On the other side e of the card, which is adapted to fold, are columns headed as shown. The assistant in each department fills in the columns and detaches a pair of tickets, one of which is attached to the goods purchased and the other to the ordinary bill, which he retains. The customer may then proceed to other departments and finally present the card at a cash desk where the " amount column is totalled and a single payment made, the leaf being at the same time detached and sent to the dispatch department, where all the goods for one consignment are recognised by their tickets. The tickets may be numbered in triplicate as desired, and several carbonized leaves, or sheets of paper with carbon leaves interposed, may be used to form further records.

Abstract: 22,112. Timson, A. R., Bullock, C. W., and Barber, C. S. Sept. 23. Stapling.-A boot-stapling machine, in which staples are formed from a continuous length of wire, has the mechanism for converting the wire into a staple covered by a removable plate, which also serves to support part of the mechanism. The wire 9 is fed through a guide 3, supported on the removable cover-plate 1, over an anvil 12, which is given the usual horizontal reciprocating motion to form the staple and to allow it to be driven. The anvil consists of a short block removably secured in a rectangular groove in a cam - operated sliding bar. The staple, which has one long and one short leg, Fig. 4, has the long leg formed by a former 6, and the short leg formed by the combined cutter and former 7 described in Specification 14,868/11. The former and the cutter are carried by a vertically reciprocating slide 24 operated by a cam 28. The former 6 is secured to the slide 24 by a screw 53, and has a groove 54 in its lower edge, which guides the wire when it is fed across the anvil. The throat 4 is divided, and is secured to the cover-plate by screws 38. The top end of the driver passes into a cut - away part of the driver - bar 40, Fig. 12, and through a bolt 43 secured in the cut-away part, part of the driver resting in a groove formed in the face 42.

Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 27,703. Compagnie pour la Fabrication des Compteurs et MatÚriel d'Usines Ó Gaz. Dec. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Gas meters. - A valve for regulating the amount of gas flowing through a gas meter placed in a shunt on a main conduit is controlled by a floating bell or like device exposed on one side to the pressure of the second gas, or the gas in the main conduit, and on the other to the gas that has passed the regulating-valve, this latter gas passing to the main conduit at a point separated from that connected to the first side of the bell by a partition with a restricted aperture. The bell a is placed in a chamber e connected with a conduit g by a pipe f. The second gas, or the gas that has passed through the meter, passes by a pipe k to a valve j attached to the bell a. It then passes to the conduit g by a pipe n controlled by a valve m. Between the pipes f, n is placed a partition h with a restricted aperture. If the proportions of the mixture are to be varied according to the quantity of gas passing through the conduit g, the valve m is connected to the bell a. In this case, the pressure in the pipe k must be kept constant. If the device is used to regulate the quantity of gas passing through a shunt containing a meter, a partition similar to h is placed between the pipe f and the intake of the shunt. The edge of the bell a rests on a lever b carrying a balance weight d.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Sprinklers or Distributors.
IPC: B05B3/06
Filed: 1911-04-27
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 10,237. Stone & Co., J., and Maccormac, E. C. April 27. Rotary apparatus.-In revolving sprinklers having the revolving parts supported from a column, the sewage &c. is propelled from a central supply to the distributing-arms by means of siphons consisting of a tube or sleeve revolubly mounted on the central column and provided with depending pipes leading to the arms. Fig. 1 shows a form of the apparatus in which the central column a supports the sleeve d through a ball bearing. Ports e on the sleeve d allow liquid to pass from the port 1 to the depending arms f, at the bases of which are fitted traps h. As shown in Fig. 3, leathers t prevent sewage &c. from reaching the bearing m, n. A bronze bush w acting on an enlargement x forms the bottom bearing between the parts a, d. The modification shown in Fig. 4 permits the main bearing to be clear of the siphons. The sleeves d carrying the siphons f is mounted outside of and upon an inner tube 3 which has a flange 5 to which the bearing cap is bolted. In operation, the lower part of the tube 3 is immersed; but the air trapped therein prevents the rise of the liquid within the tube. In the modification. shown in Fig. 7, a floatcontrolled valve 18 is provided for preventing the flooding of the distributor by liquid overflowing from the upper end of the cylinder y. The head 16 of the cylinder y is enlarged to form a chamber for the float 17 which is directly attached to the valve 18 by rods 19. The valve 18 in rising closes the inlet ports 15. In the form shown in Fig. 8, hat-leather packing 20 is provided between the cylinder and tube d to prevent the overflow of liquid. In this case, an inverted footstep bearing 23 is provided for the rotary parts of the distributor. To permit of the easy renewal and clearing of the bearings, the column a, Fig. 9, is provided with a collar 24 on which the tube c may rest when the cap l is removed. For intermittent working, the form shown in Fig. 10 is used. The central column a is supported on a supply pipe 25 and the base is provided with ports 26 for the passage of sewage to the chamber 27. Packing 28, 29 in the stuffing-box 30 prevents leakage. The liquid is fed to the tube d through the ports e and a vent pipe 31 is fitted to the pipe d midway of its length. Rings 32 having inverted cone-shaped openings are arranged in the siphon bends f and serve to direct the liquid down the centre of the siphon and cause siphonic action. This action continues until the liquid in the tube d drops sufficiently to allow air to pass down the vent tube 31 when the siphonic action is broken. When the supply of liquid again rises high enough, siphonic action is once more started and so the intermittent action continues.

Abstract: 14,911. Bowen, J. June 26. Hydrants.-In order to prevent the swan neck of street hydrants from being swung round by unauthorized persons, a hinged locking-clip is provided. A collar 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is secured to the post and is provided with a vertical part 4 carrying the eyes 5 of a hinge joint. A plate 6 is carried by a pin 12 passing through these eyes and this plate has a slot 10, which engages a lug 11 on the swan neck 3. A key 9 fitting into keyways in one lug 5 and the boss 7 of the plate 6 is formed with a slot engaging a collar 13 on the pin 12 which screws into the other lug 5. The plate 6 is thus prevented from rotating, but as the screw 12 is unscrewed, it carries the key with it away from the keyway in the boss 7, so allowing the plate 6 to rotate.
