Title: Improvements in or relating to automatic ticket printing machines
IPC: G07F17/42
Filed: 1931-02-20
Abstract: 370,126. Coin-freed-ticket printing machines. A. E. G-FAHRKARTENDRUCKER GES., Hennigsdorf, Osthavelland, Germany. Feb. 20, 1931, No. 5431. Convention date, June 30, 1930. [Class 27.] A coin-freed ticket-printing machine has the printing unit 3, motor 4, and other associated apparatus if desired, mounted on a table 2 rotatably arranged in the casing 1 and normally retained by a supporting claw 5. When repairs are necessary the table 2 may be swung out so that the printing unit, motor, &c., are accessible on all sides and dismantling is unnecessary. The invention applies to machines in which on the insertion of a coin a motor which drives the machine is started to cause it to print and issue a ticket and also to machines in which after the insertion of a coin a handcrank drive is released for operation by the purchaser of the ticket.

Abstract: 310,601. Lyons & Co., Ltd., J., and Douglass, P. G. July 5, 1928. Moving-chamber apparatus.-A device for delivering measured quantities of syrups or acid liquids from a receptacle 3 comprises a vessel 2 formed with a reduced opening 2b at the top adapted to slide over the neck 3<a> of the inverted receptacle, and with a spout 2<c> having a delivery opening 2d through which a certain amount of liquid is displaced when the vessel is moved upwards. The lower position of the vessel 2 is arranged so that the liquid rises to a level therein which is sufficient to seal the open end of the receptacle 3 but not to overflow through the spout 2<c>. The opening 2<b> is formed in a removable ring 2e.

Title: Improvements relating to automatic locking and unlocking of carriage doors
IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1926-02-27
Abstract: 258,484. Courtney, J., and Hanna, S. J. Feb. 27, 1926. Fastenings for carriage doors.-Railway and other speed-vehicle doors are secured by a bolt shot by fluid pressure acting on a piston, a member being provided which is movable into two positions by the fluid pressure acting against a spring, to bring the piston into communication with the pressure or with relief. The bolt 3 is normally held retracted by the'spring 4, but is shot by pressure of the piston 1 when this is moved forward under the action of fluid pressure supplied by a pump worked by the wheel axle. The pipe 8 is connected to the pump and pressure forces up the plug 7c against the spring 7<d> and is transmitted, into the chamber 2 behind the piston through the tube 7<a> to shoot the bolt. To prevent leakage of the operating fluid in front of the piston, a drain passage 12 is provided to lead excess of the fluid back to the supply tank. When the vihcle stops, the pressure in the pipe 8 fails and the piston 1 is forced back by the spring 4 and the plug 7<c> descends to block the pipe 8 and connect the spring 7<a> with the pipe 9 via the chamber 7. Residual fluid flows freely from behind the piston down the pipes 11 and 9 to the supply tank.

Abstract: 1503837 Removing waste products in industrial processes Y FURUTSUTSUMI 12 Feb 1976 [21 Feb 1975 15 April 1975] 05569/76 Heading F4X A device producing a conical air curtain ac for confining metal particles, lint or the like blown from a workface or work zone by an air jet a also produced by said device, comprises a nozzle 5 providing at 7 the air jet a and having a rear end face 6c which is parallel to, and spaced by a fine clearance 8 from, the front end surface 12c of a nozzle support member 12, and is formed with first and second sloping surfaces 6a, 6b disposed radially beyond the surface 6c. The outer periphery 12b of the surface 12c is also radially beyond the surface 6c, whereby the supply air entering the device at 2 and passing via ports 11 and a chamber 5c to the clearance 8, flows radially outward until it reaches the sloping surface 6a. At this point the air flow deflects forwardly along the surface 6a whereafter, while absorbing ambient atmosphere as secondary air said flow is further inclined forwardly on reaching the surface 6b. As the air passes beyond the projection 6 it forms the annular air curtain ac around the cleaning air jet a. Nozzle 5 is movable axially relative to the surface 12c whereby the width of the clearance 8 and hence the angle of inclination of the air curtain may be adjusted as indicated at ac<SP>1</SP> and ac<SP>11</SP>.

Title: Flow control for adding small quantities of material to a flowing stream

Filed: 1966-02-14
Abstract: 1,117,278. Electric correspondence control systems. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. Feb. 14, 1966 [Feb. 16, 1965], No.6399/66. Heading G1N. The weight of an additive (tetra-ethyl lead) supplied to a main fluid-stream (gasoline) is automatically controlled in correspondence with the rate of flow of the main stream. The rate of flow of gasoline in a conduit 10 is measured at 11. The output signal is (a) used to maintain the flow constant at a desired value via a 3-term controller 13 and valve 12 and (b) is integrated at 22 to provide a signal proportional to the volume of gasoline, this signal having been adjustably reduced at 16 in accordance with the desired ratio of additive to gasoline. The polarity of the signal from 16 is such that the negative value decreases with gasoline flow. The additive is pumped from a metering tank 30 into the gasoline conduit 10 through an automatically controlled valve 43. The tank 30 is mounted on a load cell 31 which gives a signal proportional to the weight of additive, i.e. a signal that decreases as the additive is pumped out. This signal, together with the gasoline volume signal from 16 is applied to a controller 23 which adjusts the additive control valve 43 to keep the two signals equal i.e. to hold the volume of gasoline and the weight of outgoing additive in the preset ratio. When the weight of additive in the metering tank 30 reaches a lower limit, a transistor circuit 37 Fig. 2 (not shown) energizes a relay to actuate circuits 51, 54 which (a) opens a dump valve 27 to replenish the metering tank from a bulk store 25 (b) effectively cancel the input signal to controller 23 so that the valve 43 is temporarily held in its existing position (c) apply the output signal from the load cell 31 to the integrator 22 (with reversed polarity) to reduce the integrated signal by the equivalent of one metering tank-full. When the weight in the metering tank 30 again reaches the upper limit, the cycle is repeated. The weight of additive and number of cycles are recorded and a number of interlock and alarm circuits are provided.

Title: A Method and Apparatus for Sub-dividing the Calibrated Divisions on a Dial or the like.
Filed: 1917-05-05
Abstract: 114,689. Munro, Ltd., R. W., and Rooker, F. J. May 5, 1917. Dividing-instruments.-A means for subdividing the major divisions of a dial comprises a bar E provided with an adjustable marking edge e and pivoted at B over the dial D, which is held in position by spring clips C. A plate I is provided with a series S of grooves, the extreme or zero groove on one side being directed to the pivot B. In order to subdivide a major division of the dial D, the dial is rotated to bring one of the boundaries of this division into agreement with the edge e, while a pointer F carried by the bar E engages the zero groove. The bar E is then rotated about the pivot B until the pointer F engages the other extreme groove, when it is slid along the groove until the edge e coincides with the other boundary of the division. By then moving the bar E to allow the pointer F to engage each groove in succession, the edge e is brought into the correct positions to allow the subdividing marks to be made on the dial. A rotatable eccentric stop 0 is provided to ensure that the edge r may be adjusted to correct position relative to the pointer F, when the latter is in the zero groove. In a modification, the bar E is made angular in shape, and the pointer F is carried by a bracket slidably mounted on the bar.
