Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 18,053. Jucker, J., [Kr³se, J.]. Aug. 20. Scutchers, feed-regulators for. In scutchers provided with pedal feed-regulators, a device is provided by which, when the lap runs out or runs double, the feed and delivery rollers are stopped while the heaters continue to run. In a double-beater scutcher, an eccentric e, Fig. 1, is driven from the feed-roller shaft and actuates a rocking arm g. The motion of this arm g, by means of angular clutch-teeth l, causes a doublearmed lever k to rock about its centre. Each end of the arms of the lever k carries an adjustable rod p which slides through guides and at the end of its path passes over a slot in the cone box i. In the cone box is mounted a lever r, moved by the conestrap lever s, in such a manner that, when the strap is at the top or bottom of the cone pulleys, the end of the lever r projecting through the slot in the cone box moves into the path of one of the reciprocating bars p. This stops the motion of the lever k, and the arm g by means of its angular teeth l is moved to one side, thus moving the lever u and through the connecting-rod w operating a weighted lever z which moves the strap fork over the countershaft 3 and stops the cone-pulleys n and the feed-roller shaft a. In a single beater scutcher, Fig. 4, the connection between the lever g and the countershaft strap fork is made by a bar 4, which rocks the lever 5 and pushes the lower end of it out of contact with a notch 6 in the strapfork rod 2, which is pulled over by a spring.

Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 244. Rotherham, K., and Johnson, W. Jan. 5. Money-delivering apparatus.-Gas-meters and the like are provided with mechanism for delivering or returning the releasing-pence as change for silver coins. Besides its ordinary function, the actuating- slide A, Fig. 1, or a rotary arm, turns a star-wheel C, which is geared to a sliding receptacle D, divided into compartments, and each penny paid drops from the actuating-slide into one of the compart. ments through the shoot B. When the receptacle is full, a cam E raises a stop lever E<2> into the path of the actuating-slide. A double rack F on the sliding partitioned receptacle D gears above with a disk F<1> showing the number of compartments occupied by pennies, and below with a spindle ending externally with a toothed wheel F<6>, Fig. 6. A compound disk G<1>, concentric with the projecting spindle, contains a separate pocket for each denomination of silver coin to be inserted through slots in the casing G. Such a coin, when shut into its proper pocket by a slotted shutter H on the casing G, makes a spring-raised dog J at the bottom of the pocket bite the toothed wheel and engage a ward which spans an arc on the casing proportional to the value. On the disk being then turned by a knob G<2>, the receptacle is shifted over a shoot D<6>, Fig. 1, till the dog escapes from the ward, during which movement pence to the value of'the silver coin drop from the compartments, and the silver coin falls through an exit slot into a box. If the partitioned receptacle'does not contain sufficient change, one of several wards L<1>, on a disk L<2>, attached to the spindle prevents the dog from being thrust down by the silver coin and the shutter on the casing. A pawl, allowed to cock by the inward displacement of a dog, engages pins on the casing, so as to prevent reversal till the dog has escaped from the ward. A cam on the disk may raise the stop lever E, and a spring detent may be provided to hold the disk if the shutterring is not closed.
