Title: Improvements in Totalizing Counting Apparatus.
Inventor: POYET ETIENNE
IPC: G06M1/04
Filed: 1911-10-05
Granted: 1912-10-07
Abstract: 21,960. Poyet, E. Oct. 5. Counting-apparatus with variable-step movement; transfer mechanism.-An apparatus for totalizing items set at a distance, and applicable to cash registers, voting-apparatus, &c., comprises electrically-actuated ball-releasing devices and a counter operated by the released balls to extents determined by the denominations represented by and the numbers of the balls. In the construction shown, five ball-holders 19, representing cents, tens of cents, dollars, &c., are provided with a number of depending tubes 11 having spring gates 16. Each tube has a corresponding pair of solenoids 9 in circuit with contacts on the keyboard of a cash register and adapted, when energized, to reciprocate an armature 12 attached to a plunger 15. The armatures are arranged in groups of five, and have lateral projections 39 so that if, say, four cents are registered, the corresponding armature 12 thrusts out one ball and also operates the plungers appertaining to the 1, 2, and 3 cents tubes so that four balls are ejected and fall through a common shoot to one (the units) compartment of a receiver 22. The other ball-holders likewise feed other compartments in this receiver. The counter 47 is driven by the opening of the gates 16 in the tubes 30 of the receiver through the reciprocation of plungers 34 driven by eccentrics 29. The gates have extensions 40 adapted to bear against and lift arms 42 connected with pawls 45. Transfer is effected by arranging the pawls in pairs, one acting on one counter-wheel and the other, when a deep notch 49 is reached, driving the succeeding wheel through one step, but otherwise being held out of driving engagement. The plungers 34 are advanced alternately in pairs to prevent interference between the actuating and transfer pawls.

Title: Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for the Production of Explosive Mixtures for Driving Gas  Turbines.
Inventor: HUMARAN FELIPE GOMEZ
Filed: 1911-10-24
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 23,501. Humaran, F. G. Oct. 24. Generating combustion products under pressure. -Relates to the production and application of motive fluid for gasturbines, the apparatus being of the kind having an oscillating fluid piston. The oscillating mass employed is of relatively high specific gravity and the explosion gases are admitted in stages to the turbine (which is of the mixed-pressure type), the first admission taking place immediately after the explosion. The apparatus comprises two connected chambers K, X partly filled with mercury, shot; balls, or a combination of these. When an explosion occurs, the oscillating mass is depressed in the chamber K and the two sets of float valves C<1>, C<2> are thus opened successively as the fluid mass in its downward movement ceases to support them. High-pressure gas is thus exhausted through the float valves C<1> and non - return valves B<1>, and low - pressure gas through the similar valves C<2>, B<2>. The fluid mass continuing its descent draws in a fresh charge at A and on its return expels the remaining exhaust gases at B<2> and then compresses the new charge, until, on reaching its highest limit, it completes the sparking circuit at M and the cycle begins again. The chamber X may be replaced by a second explosion chamber similar to K. Water is injected preferably between the float and non-return valves, and both keeps down the temperature of the gases and, where the oscillating mass is composed of balls, serves also as a lubricant. A solid piston or mass may be interposed in the fluid mass in the connecting-bend Y.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Finishing Textile Materials.
Inventor: HAHN PAUL
IPC: D06B7/06
Filed: 1913-06-25
Granted: 1914-06-25
Abstract: 14,701. Hahn, P. June 25. Hank type.-In hank-mercerizing machines, in which parts of the work, such as approximating and separating the yarn rollers, are effected by a rotating cam-disk which actuates levermechanism, the disk is arrested, on the completion of certain part movements thereof, during each revolution for a short time, in order to reduce to a minimum the period required for the lever movements at all suitable places, such as at the transition places between the working operations, this reduction being effected by steep intermediate actuating-faces at the proper positions on the disk. The yarn-hank 3 is placed over horizontal rollers 1, 2, of which the roller 2 runs in a stationary bearing, while the bearing 1<a> of the other is carried at the lower end of a pair of levers 5 which rotate about an axle 19, for approximating or separating the rollers. A second pair of levers 4, rigidly connected to the first pair 5, carry an antifriction roller 6 bearing against the periphery of a cam 8, fast on the main axle 7. Rigidly connected with the cam 8 are a disk 27 having peripheral teeth 26 and a gear-wheel 28 meshing with a pinion 29 carried bv an arm 31, freely rotatable on the main axle 7. The lever 31 is connected by a link 46 to one arm of an angle-lever 45, freely rotatable on a second axle 33, the other arm of which has pivoted to it a latch-lever having lugs 47, 48. A spring 51 tends to make the inner lug 47 press against some one of the teeth 26. When, owing to a train of gear-wheels 36, 37, 34, 35, 38, 39, 40, a second cam-disk or drum 41 is uniformly rotated anti-clockwise, and when one of its peripheral tappets 42 passes under the outer lug 48, the latch-lever is lifted and the inner lug 47 is caused to leave the abutment-face of the particular tooth 26 engaged, so that the spring 51 lifts the arm 31, causing the pinion 29 thereon to come into gear with a driven pinion 34. Consequently the cam 8 is rotated at the speed given to it by a train of gear-wheels 36, 37, 34, 29, 28, actuates the antifriction roller 6, and so moves the roller 1 to carry out the desired operation on the yarn 3, for example stretching or releasing it. As soon as the particular operation is ended, another tooth 26 abuts against the lug 47 breaking the gear-chain described and so stopping the cam. Suitable mechanical or, in addition, electrical devices may be used to transmit the movements of the latch-lever or of the angle-lever 45 to the driving-axle 32.

Abstract: 14,743. Hinks, L. S. June 26. Guards and protectors.-Relates to means for stopping drawing, blanking, piercing, and like power-driven presses positively at the end of one revolution and for preventing the accidental fall of the plunger while the press is inoperative, means being provided for ensuring that both hands of the operator are employed during starting. The driven shaft f carries a brake drum g in which slides a spring-pressed plunger g<2> adapted, if rotated when it is protruded, to strike the rod h<2> of a dash-pot h<4>. A cam i is adapted to be rotated in one direction only by a pin i<4> carried by a lover j, which is operated through a lever m and rod a by a hand-lever o. In order that the lever o may be operated, a second levers s must be raised with the other hand. The cam i is first rotated to press in the plunger g<2> flush with the drum g, and the clutch-operating lever r is then actuated to engage the clutch and rotate the shaft f. A pin x on the plunger g<2> engages a fixed cam track y and prevents the plunger from striking the rod h<2>. Near the end of one revolution, the plunger is released by the track y, and if through inadvertance or accident the clutch is not disengaged, the plunger strikes the rod h<2> and forcibly stops the machine, the cam i being moved onwards idly by the plunger to complete a half-revolution and bring it into position for further operation.
