Title: Improvements in Goods and Cash Registers and Indicators.
Inventor: GLEDHILL ARTHUR HENRY
Filed: 1905-05-15
Granted: 1906-05-15
Abstract: 10,123. Gledhill, A. H. May 15. Receipts, checking and reconding.-A goods and cash register and indicator, more especially one for use where articles are retailed at a fixed price, is shown in elevation in Figs. 1 and 3, and in plan in Fig. 2. The indicating-tablets 1 rest on, or are connected to, the levers 2, from which project the curved arms 4, recessed to engage with the pivoted locking-bar 6, and adapted to engage with the cams 16 on the operating-shaft 15. These cams are stepped along the shaft in order that the required amount of rotary movement may be given to the sector 31, the pinion 30, the clutch 32, and the rigidly-mounted counter. As the locking-bar 6 is raised by the depressed key, its segmental rack 11 rotates the wheel 14, free on the shaft 15, to lock the pinion 19A with the pin 23, turn the shaft 20, and put the clutch 32 into gear, and also by the cam 39 to move the crank bar 42, extending across the . back of the uprights 42<A> supporting the tablets away from the uprights 42<A>, and allow the pin 43 to pass upwards when the lever is depressed. A full-stoke mechanism, comprising the toothed segment 17 and the reversible spring detent 18, is provided in the machine. On the shaft 20 are the two cams 24, 25. The cam 24 operates the tumbler lever 26 and the clutch 32, while the cam 25 engages with a step on the locking-lever.35, which engages with a disk fixed on the operating-shaft 15. The locking-lever disk and cam lock the shafts 15, 20 in position when the operating-levers are in their normal disengaged position. The counter comprises a series of disks 53, Fig. 9, having pinions 52 and locking-disks 47 fixed thereto. A pin 49 on the locking-disk 47 effects the transfer through a wheel 50, Fig. 13, on a supplementary spindle 51, and locking is effected by the lever 55 engaging with the disk 47. The counter is brought to zero by the curved locking- levers 55 being moved sideways by means of the sliding bolt 60. The locking-disks are turned to zero, the disks being rotatably locked in one direction by small spring plungers.
Patent GB-190512902-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Short Base Range Finders.
Inventor: TAYLOR HAROLD DENNIS
Filed: 1905-06-22
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 12,902. Taylor, H. D. June 22. Range-finders.-Relates to short-base rangefinders of the coincidence type in which a single and undivided observation telescope is employed, and consists principally in (1) the employment, of prisms rotating about the line of sight to bring about the coincidence, and (2) the similar use of prisms to effect the initial adjustment to zero for an observed object at infinity. Fig. 3 shows a diagramriiatic .plan of the apparatus. Opposite the elbowed telescope optical squares S', S<2> (Prandl prisms) are mounted at different heights so as to deflect the rays s<1>, s<2> into the upper and lower halves respectively, of the object-glass O. The neutralization of the parallactic angle is effected, it may be by a single prism R rotated about the line of sight. As such neutralization, however, by a single prism is necessarily accompanied by a deflexion of the image out of the plane containing the base of the instrument and the object point, a pair of equal prisms R are employed which, when simultaneously rotated in opposite directions, bring about the desired coincidence in the plane referred to without the objectionable deflection normal to this plane. These prisms are rotated in their mount by the operation of a drum D<7> spirally graduated to give the range direct. The initial adjustment of the instrument is effected by first setting the prisms R to give their maximum deflexion and then bringing about coincidence for an object at infinity by rotating the prism p<1>. These prisms may be replaced by a single one swung about an axis parallel to its refracting edge in the way described in Specification No. 12,735, A.D. 1904. The prisms p<1> may be dispensed with by rocking one of the optical squares to adjust initially the instrument. The observing telescope may be arranged with its axis at right-angles to the optical base. Fig. 11 is a plan of the complete instrument showing the box B<2> containing one of the optical squares, the adjusting-prisms and the operating and measuring mechanism. The telescope t is securely fixed to the box B', while the second optical square B<1> is shown at the outer end of the base. The instrument may be fitted near its centre of gravity with a live ring R adapted to be fitted to a tripod head.

Title: New or Improved Weft-controlling Mechanism for Weaving Looms.
Inventor: ROSTRON JAMES
Filed: 1906-08-18
Granted: 1907-08-17
Abstract: 18,519. Rostron, J. Aug. 18. Loom shuttle - changing mechanism; stop-motions; shuttles.-In order that automatic shuttle-changing mechanism may be actuated, or the loom stopped, when the weft in the shuttle is substantially exhausted, a lever p, Fig. 6, is pivoted in an opening o in the shuttle side and is acted upon by a spring q, which tends to force its hooked end out of the shuttle, the lever being retained normally within the shuttle by its other end resting upon. a slidable piece r on the shuttle tongue. When the weft is nearly exhausted, the piece r is moved along the tongue by a spring s, as shown, and the hooked end of the lever p is moved outwards, so that, when the shuttle enters the shuttle box, the lever p engages and moves a pin, which projects through an opening in the shuttle box and is secured to the vertical arm of a pivoted bell-crank lever i, Fig. 1. The horizontal arm of the lever i is raised to close an opening n in the lay, so that one arm of a Z-shaped lever g, pivoted on the weft-fork hammer c, is prevented from entering the opening n as the lay moves forwards. The other arm of the lever g is thereby raised, and, as the hammer c moves forwards, strikes a block f on a lever e, and thereby rocks a cross-shaft d to actuate shuttle - changing mechanism, preferably that described in Specification No. 26,322, A.D. 1906. An extension of the lever e, shown in dotted lines, may bear against the knock-off lever t, so that the loom may be stopped, instead of shuttlechanging mechanism being actuated. By connecting the weft-fork holder to the lever e, the shuttlechanging mechanism may be actuated when the weft breaks. The book end of the lever p may extend only into the usual groove in the shuttle side, and not project beyond the outer side of the shuttle, and the lever p may be held normally within the shuttle by any suitable means. - Other suitable mechanism may be substituted for the lever i and its pin.
