Title: Improved till for giving change for notes
IPC: G07D1/02
Filed: 1919-10-16
Abstract: 158,033. Marden, E. P. Oct. 16, 1919. Money-delivering apparatus.-In apparatus for giving change for notes, the note is placed in a flat receptacle, such as is shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9, and the receptacle is dropped into a slot 38 in the front of the apparatus, where it rests on pivoted arms 35 provided with counterweights 36. The weight of the nott-receptacle tilts the arms 35 and raises catches 37 out of engagement with racks 32, thus enabling a drawer 30 to be pulled cut. When the drawer has been pulled out some distance, the catches 37, which have up to then been limited in their upward motion by blocks 31 secured to the sides of the drawer, rise to their full extent, allowing the arms 35 to tilt sufficiently for the note receptacle to fall off into the locked drawer 19. Above the drawer 30 is arranged a casing 21 containing a series of receptacles 22 in each of which is placed change equivalent to the note to be changed, there being as many casings 21 as there are different denominations of notes. In the closed position, the lowest change-receptacle rests in the drawer, at the back of which projects a block 29 which supports the rest of the receptacles when the drawer is open. The note receptacles have marked, embossed, or otherwise provided thereon monetary denominations indicating the value of the note to be placed therein, and, where the apparatus is to be used by several operators, the receptacles may also carry identification markings for each operator. Or, instead of, or in addition to, the abovementioned markings, the receptacles for notes of different values may be made of different materials, for example, brass and white metal, while the receptacles used by different operators may be of different shapes. The receptacles may also be formed with ribs, grooves, &c. to correspond with grooves, ribs, &c. in the walls of the slots in which they are to be inserted. The arrangement of the ribs &c. on the carriers and slots for notes of different values may be different, so as to prevent inadvertent or deliberate insertion of a receptacle in the wrong slot. In order to facilitate the charging of the casings 21 with change-receptacles, the casings may be removably mounted in the apparatus, and may be provided with diametrically-disposed slots in their lower ends to receive a strip of metal or other material to serve as a temporary base, which is removed, after the charged casing has been placed in position, through a hinged panel in the front of the apparatus. Where the casings 21 are fixed, they may be provided with removable liners, which are fitted with a removable temporary base, or with a hinged base which may be hinged to the liner and released from the top when the charged liner is in position.

Title: Improvements relating to the carbonisation of coal
IPC: C10B49/02
Filed: 1955-09-05
Abstract: 823,530. Carbonizing processes. WEST, F. J., WEST, E., and WEST'S GAS IMPROVEMENT CO. Ltd. Nov. 23, 1956 [Sept. 5, 1955], No. 25388/55. Class 55 (1). In a carbonizing process a number of retorts a, b, c, Fig. 1, are provided and in each retort the complete process takes place without external heating or cooling, in as many distinct heating and cooling stages as there are retorts. In retort a coal is converted to semi-coke, in retort b, semi-coke to coke, and in retort c the coke is cooled. At the end of this stage, the retort c is discharged and recharged with coal for conversion to semi-coke, the semi-coke in retort a is converted to coke and the coke in retort b is cooled, the connections to the various retorts being changed by valves so that the flow of gases is always the same having regard to the stage which is taking place in each retort. Blue water gas from a main e, and gas produced in the retorts and taken from main f, enter retort c by branch g. The resultant hot gases flow by pipe d to retort b and meet gas flowing from main f through a heater h and pipe i to the retort b. The resultant gases flow through pipe j to retort a and are taken through line m, by an exhauster n, to flow into main f. In a modification, Fig. 4, in which four stages, coal to low-temperature coke, low-temperature coke to semi-coke, semi-coke to high-temperature coke and coke cooling are provided as well as four retorts 4, 7, 8, 9, in which the four stages are taking place, blue water gas is supplied by branch 24, and gas from main f through branch 25 is supplied to retort 9. The gases then pass through pipe 21 to retort 8 which also receives gas from main f through heater 12 and branch 13. Part of the resultant gases flow through pipe 17 to retort 7, and part through pipe 20, heat exchanger 19, pipe 22, heat exchanger 15, and booster 26 to main f. Retort 7 also receives gas recycled from the top to the bottom through exhauster 18 and heat exchanger 19. The outflowing gases from retort 7 pass through pipe 10 to retort 4 and meet gases recycled through exhauster 14 and heat exchanger 15, the resultant gases being taken off through pipe 5 and main 6.

Title: Means for indicating and/or controlling the level of molten glass and other liquids
IPC: G05D9/12
Filed: 1946-08-26
Abstract: 629,271. Photo-electric apparatus for indicating and controlling liquid-levels. AUSTRALIAN GLASS MANUFACTURERS CO. PROPRIETARY, Ltd. Aug. 26, 1946, No. 25405. Convention date, Aug. 24, 1945. [Class 40 (iii)] Light from a source 10, Fig. 1, is modulated, as by a rotating toothed wheel 28, and falls on the surface of molten glass or other liquid, from which it is reflected to an obturator 15 and a photo-cell 16, so that the presence or absence of the modulated component in the output of the cell is related to the level of the liquid ; the purpose of modulating the light from source 10 is to enable the reflected light to be distinguished from the light emitted by the molten glass. Preferably the cell 16 is located at the end of a tube having a water jacket to absorb infra-red radiation, Fig. 4 (not shown). Preferably, when the cell is illuminated by the modulated light, relay 18, Fig. 6, is closed to short-circuit condenser 19 ; when the level falls, relay 18 opens, and condenser 19 charges until it reaches the breakdown voltage of tube 21, which thereupon ignites to actuate relay 24 which can control a valve admitting further liquid to the container from a reservoir. The condenser 19 produces a delay to overcome fluctuations due to the varying refractive index of the air above the hot liquid. 'If the level rises too far, the liquid may complete a circuit to close the valve. Where it is desired to indicate the level of the liquid, illumination of the cell by modulated light causes activation of relay R, Fig. 7, to close valve 51 ; when the level rises relay R is de-energized and valve 51 is opened to admit compressed air to cylinder 47 and drive piston 46 upwards carrying the light source upwards ; a rack and pinion 55 rotates a potentiometer 58 in accordance with the movements of the piston and a stationary contact 61 is connected to a voltmeter whose reading is thus an indication of the level of the fluid; when relay R is activated, the compressed air in cylinder 47 leaks off over a bleed passage 53. In a modification, the light source is elongated and produces a variable illumination of an obturating slit, so that the magnitude of the cell output is related to the level. The light may be modulated by cyclically changing its direction, or by being produced from cyclically varying current.
