Title: Improvements in Lock-nuts.
Inventor: KOCH WILFRIED DELL
Filed: 1910-06-18
Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 14,762. Koch, W. D. June 18. L o c k i n g n u t s. - A lock-nut 7 screws on to a threaded extension 4 of a nut 3.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Bottling machines.
Inventor: PINDSTOFTE ANDERS ANDERSEN
IPC: B67C3/04
Filed: 1910-06-21
Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 14,923. Findstofte, A. A. June 21. Bottling. - Relates to means whereby the liquid contained in a bottle that breaks or bursts during filling may be returned to the supply reservoir. A vessel c is connected by a passage d with the supply reservoir a and by a pipe f and three-way cock e with the air-receiver b. Non-return valves h, i control communication between the vessel c and a funnel g and the reservoir a respectively. By means of the threeway cock, the vessel c can be cut off from the air-container b and connected to the atmosphere. In operation, the valve i opens when pressure in the vessel c exceeds that in the reservoir, and so maintains liquid at the same level in both. If a bottle breaks, the cock e is turned to connect the vessel c to the atmosphere and the liquid in the broken bottle is poured into the funnel g and passes the valve h. The cock e is then turned to place the vessel c in communication with the air-container, and the pressure combined with the increased head of liquid in the vessel c opens the valve i to readjust the levels. A strainer in the funnel prevents the passage of fragments of glass.

Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 18,547. Henning, G. F. E. Aug. 6, 1909, [Convention datel. Money - delivering apparatus. - Improved means are provided in money registering, counting, changing, or delivering machines for checking the delivery of the coins by an indicator operated by the coins themselves. The coins are introduced by the depression of keys into shoots a, into each of which projects a lever b<1>, b<2>, b<3>. The levers are pivoted to a carrier lever l, which is pressed by a spring towards a shaft e<1> carrying the indicator. The carrier is held back by a cam k on a spindle with an operating-handle g. The coins descending the shoots rest on the levers, and, on actuation of the handle g, the cam moves away from the carrier and a spring q turns a segment h to drive through a pinion i the spindle e<1>, thus rotating disks e carried thereby until the proper combination of notches in them arrives opposite pins on the end of the levers and allows them to be carried forward so as to free the coins. The spindle e<1> is locked in this, the indicating, position by the levers. The notched disks e are combined, as shown in Fig. 6, with the grouped levers, to pass and to indicate the correct cash amount.
