Abstract: 4335. Marshall, D. Feb. 21. Book &c. rests.-A portable book-rest, Fig. 4, consists of six metal strips pivoted together at P. Two of the strips E, F form a ledge for supporting the book, two others A, B form the back rest, and the remaining two C, D when opened out into the position indicated by dotted lines serve as legs for holding the rest at a convenient distance from the user. The strips A, B are held in the extended position by a jointed link J, similar jointed links also connecting the strips A, E and B, F, or chains K may be used, as shown. Leaf-holders are provided consisting of two parts Y, W, the part Y being pivoted to the part W, which is rigidly secured to the ledge E. To limit the opening of the struts C, D, a stop S is provided on the lower end of the member B as shown in Fig. 8, which represents a back view of a part of the rest. The stop consists of a turned-over portion S against which the strut C abuts. The upper end of the strut D also has a turned over portion adapted to engage a recess U formed in the strut C. Fig. 10 shows a modification of the book-rest, consisting of a folding lattice. The ledges E, F are pivoted together at R, the lattice being pivoted to the ledge E at P. The rest may also be constructed of three rods or tubes pivoted together at their middle points, the legs being formed by the continuation of the upper rods A, B, Fig. 4. The rods may be telescopic.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Vending Machines.
Inventor: BOUCHER HORACE E
IPC: G07F11/44
Filed: 1911-04-03
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 8328. Boucher, H. E. Oct. 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Sale apparatus.-Relates to vending-machines in which the pivoted locking member of a reciprocating rod, which serves to effect the delivery of an article and is provided with a full-stroke device, is positively struck into locking position during the return movement of the rod, and consists in effecting the locking before the completion of the stroke of the rod. Coin action, weight; coin-discharging mechanism.-The rod 33 which effects the delivery of an article through a link 26 and slide 23 is normally locked by the tail 40<a> of a weighted detent 40 pivoted at 41. The inserted coin falls into the pocket 42 and tilts the detent so as to remove the tail 40<a> from in front of a fixed stop and free the rod, the detent coming to rest in the position 40<b> owing to the engagement of a crank 54 on the pivot 41 with the inclined portion 56 of a member 53 on the rod. When the rod is pushed in by means of a handle 28 (into the position shown in Fig. 4) the detent drops into the position 40<c> and the rod thrusts the coin out of the pocket. Fraud, preventing.-A full stroke of the rod in either direction is ensured by the engagement of a spring-controlled pawl 36 with a rack on the rod. During the return movement of the parts under the action of a spring 25, and before the completion of the movement of the rod, the incline 56 engages the crank 54 and returns the detent to the locking position.

Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 9442. Pilkington, A. April 18. Joint pins.-In a joint or coupling for connecting side-cars &c. to cycles, a spring- controlled pin or bolt adapted to pass through or engage with the parts to be coupled is provided with a member which cannot be separated therefrom but can be moved into two positions, one in alinement with the bolt and the other transversely thereto. As shown in Fig. 1, the bolt C engages jaws a<1> carried by the motorcycle and an intermediate jaw b<1> upon the sidecar frame B, the locking-member D being slotted at d<1> to engage a transverse pin within the forked lower end of the bolt. To prevent accidental release of the bolt, the slot d<1> is enlarged at its centre so that, when the member is in its operative position, as shown, the spring c<2> presses up the bolt causing the pin to engage the enlarged portion of the slot. In a modification, a cylindrical shank upon one part is provided with a circumferential groove and is adapted to be inserted within a hollow lug upon the other part, the locking-bolt being introduced into and passed through the lug to engage the groove of the shank.

Abstract: 19,112. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd., and Whittaker, M. H. Aug. 25. Rules; matrices for type-bar making machines. Relates to the production of type-bars for printing tabular matter in which each typebar is cast with a short rule-section. To ensure the rule-sections on adjacent type-bars fitting up to and in alinement with each other, spurs or projections 5 are formed on one or both ends of each rule-section by means of a suitable matrix. When a number of type-bars are assembled, any gaps between the rule-sections are filled up by burnishing down the spurs by means of a grooved tool 6 which also serves to aline the rule-sections. The spurs, if left standing, may serve for perforating the printed sheets.

Abstract: 22,326. Kayser, H. Oct. 10. Progressive evaporators; vapours, utilizing for effecting further evaporation.-An evaporating-apparatus, of the type comprising hollow internally-heated plates or vessels m on which the material is treated, is heated by means of Honigmann's brine, which is a concentrated solution of caustic soda and calcium chloride, and has the property of absorbing steam and liberating its latent heat. The vessels m slope alternately in reverse directions, the material under treatment passing in succession from tray to tray. The false bottoms of the vessels m are fitted with chambers or perforated tubes a, b, c, serving as brine outlets, steam inlets, and brine inlets respectively, the brine passing from one vessel to the next by pipes o. The steam to be absorbed by the brine is derived from external sources, or, by means of open-ended pipes b<1>, from the evaporating - chamber itself. The diluted brine is concentrated for re - use. Scrapers e, which are reciprocated by bars d, loosen any incrustation that may be formed; conveyers f, fitted within troughs formed by curved plates q', remove the precipitates. The apparatus is applied for concentrating brine, sulphates, milk, &c., and for drying distillers' wash.

Abstract: 16,317. Prim, A. W., and Roker, F. W. July 12. [Cognate Application, 27,780/12.] Thermal switches; contacts. - A thermal switch used for example for controlling the current supplied by a dynamo to electric heaters G carried on a vehicle consists of one or more expansion members such as zinc cylinders connected with one arm of a lever, the other arm of which is connected with one or more flexible strips carrying contacts. Means are provided for preventing a vibrating engagement of the contacts, and for compensating for the expansion of the frame. As shown in Fig. 1, two perforated cylinders A are joined at each end by cross-heads a<2>, a<3>, of which one is mounted on a screw adjustable in a bracket a<5>, and the other bears against a screw on the short arm b<2> of the lever B, the long arm of which is connected with bowed steel strips D, D'. A fixed contact d<2> is mounted on a block d<4>, Fig. 7, secured to another block d<5> and to the strip D, the other contact d' being adjustably mounted on a block d<7>, secured to another block d<8>, which is fixed to the strip D'. In order to prevent a vibrating engagement of the contacts, two flat springs E are fixed to the block d<8> and carry adjustable screws e<1>, which frictionally engage the block d<5>. The fulcrum b<1> of the lever B may be mounted on the frame C, or, as shown, it may be mounted on a cast-iron rod m<4> pivoted to a lever m<1>, with which is also connected an aluminium rod m<3>, the arrangement being such that the fulcrum b<1> is fixed relatively to the support a<5>. In a modification, the fulcrum is placed near the bracket, and the arm b<2>is connected by a rod with the cross-head a<3>; or a compensated connecting-rod may be interposed between the cross-head and the arm b<2>. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 8, the fulcrum is mounted on a bar N held in position by studs n<1> fitting in slots, the bar being corrugated to provide a large surface so that the bar may change temperature at the same rate as the cylinders. The bar is made of a material having a smaller expansion co-efficient than the material of the cylinders, and an alloy having a negligible expansion may be used. A dashpot P is fitted to the lever. A non-inductive resistance H is connected across the contacts to prevent sparking. According to the first Provisional Specification 16,317/12, a single bowed strip may be fitted with a contact on each side, and a cylinder and a strip may be placed on the same side of a fulcrum. A capacity may be connected across the contacts.
