Title: Improvements in and relating to Prepayment Apparatus for the Supply of Gas or the like.
Inventor: GARSIDE EDMUND
IPC: G07F15/00
Filed: 1912-10-01
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 22,325. Garside, E. Oct. 1. Valves closing after predetermined interval or flow.-A device for permitting the supply of gas or other fluid for a predetermined period comprises two vessels h<2> containing liquid and mounted on a rotary shaft g<1>, the vessels being connected by tubes k containing removable capillary tubes k<1>. The operator inserts a coin and turns an external handle, thereby rotating a disk g through gearing d, e, e<1>, and, owing to the engagement of pins g<3> on the disk with bevelled arms g<4>, rotating also the shaft g<1> to raise the vessel h<2> containing the greater quantity of liquid into the position shown in Fig. 1, the parts being retained in this position by the engagement of one of the arms g<4> with the bevelled extremity of a lever l counterweighted at l<1>. Simultaneously an arm h<4> on the shaft g<1> depresses a spring-raised slide h<6>, Fig. 3, by engaging a roller h<5> and opens the supply valve j. To prevent any upward movement of the counterweighted end of the lever l during these operations, a spring-controlled slide m<1> connected to a dash-pot m<4> is moved by the coin so as to bring a projection m over the end of the lever. The liquid passes into the lower vessel through the capillary tube k<1> until the weight of that vessel is sufficient to raise the weight l<1>, whereupon the arm escapes past the bevelled extremity of the lever, and the arm h<4> moves away from the roller h<5>, permitting the spring j<2>, Fig. 3, to close the valve. The duration of the supply may be altered by moving the weight l<1> along the lever l, or by replacing the capillary tube k<1> by another tube of lifferent bore.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Apparatus for Heating Water.
Inventor: NEEDHAM VICTOR STORER
IPC: F24C13/00
Filed: 1913-01-21
Granted: 1914-01-21
Abstract: 1678. Needham, V. S., and Needham, F. G. Jan. 21. Heating water.-A heater or boiler 3 is so connected to a reservoir 1 that, although normally a circulation is established through pipes 5 and 4 to tank 1 and thence by pipe 9 to the heater, on opening the tap 7 check-valves 8 in the pipe 4 and also in the pipe 9 close so that the hottest water from the top of the tank flows through the pipes 10, 9, boiler 3, and pipes 5, 6, being thus further heated before delivery. At the same time, additional heating may be applied to the system, for instance more gas-burners may be lighted. In the case of electrical heating, a device, such as shown in Fig. 2, may be interposed in the water circuit, whereby, on opening the tap 7, both check-valves 8 close as before, and the pistons 16 rise, thereby allowing water to flow from the pipe 10 to the pipe 14 and thence to the boiler as before. The rod 15 raises at the same time a device bearing contact-bars 20, which press resiliently against contact-studs in the plate 11, to cause heating-resistances ordinarily in series to be used in parallel and thus add to the heating during discharge. The bars 20 are held up or down during the intermediate travel of the pistons 16 by a pivoted catch 25, one or other end of which engages with a sliding collar 23 and which is operated by projections upon the rod 15 as it slides within the tube 18. The resistances may be placed in tubes 26 of rectangular section extending through the boiler 3, and may comprise strips 27 of insulating-material and upper and lower resistances 28, 29 of wire coiled round insulators such as mica, the two parts being separated by sheets of asbestos 30, 31 and steel plates 32, 36 pressed apart by an oval rod 35.

Inventor: BENSON LESLIE BERNARD
Filed: 1913-06-28
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 14,935. Benson, L. B. June 28. Time checks.-Relates to a clock and marking- board for billiards of the type described in Specification 15,892/12, and consists in means whereby the number of games played during a predetermined period of time is registered on a counting-device and in which the dial indicating- mechanism is automatically zeroized at the end of a predetermined period. Mounted behind a dial plate is a clock 6 driving a clock shaft 10, from which by mitre gears 12, 13 is driven an indicating-hand and also, through a cam 15, pin 16, lever 17, and spring-controlled connecting-rod 20, a veeder-counter 21. Below and parallel with the shaft 10 is a shaft 27 adapted to be turned by a key for re-setting the instrument. The apparatus includes a flag 70 for indicating when the device is in use and an alarm 61. Carried in brackets 11, 29 is a sliding plate 38 normally kept down by a spring 56. The plate 38 is connected to the shaft 27 by a lever 35 and a lever 31 mounted on the shaft and connected thereto by a pin-and-slot connexion 32, 33. The shaft 10 is adapted to be clutched to the clock mechanism 6 by a clutch 7, 8 operated by a spring-controlled bell-crank lever 25, a rod 26 forming part of the lever extending into the path of the plate 38. The amount by which the shaft 27 can be rotated is limited by a pin 67 on the shaft which engages stops 68, 69 on one of the brackets supporting the shaft. In operation on turning the shaft 27, the lever 35 forces up the draw-plate 38 until a pin 41 on the plate engages a notch 42 on the bracket 11. In this position, the rod 26 slips into an opening 44 in the plate and allows the spring 23 to operate the clutch and start the clock. At the end of a predetermined time, a cam 52 on the shaft 10 throws the pin 41 out of the notch; the draw-plate is lowered by the spring, so disconnecting the clutch 7, 8 and operating the alarm 61 and the flag 70. A chain 49 connected to the lever 31 and wound on the shaft 10 during its rotation is drawn off when the plate 38 descends, so turning the shaft 10 and indicating-hand back to their zero positions. An extension 37 of the draw-bar 38 is connected by a pin and slot to a sliding plate 65. To the pin is connected a rod for rendering a marking-board, when used, visible or invisible. The arrangement of the marking-board is the same as in the before-mentioned Specification.

Title: Improvements in Reeds for Looms.
Inventor: BECKERS GUSTAV
IPC: D03D49/62
Filed: 1913-12-11
Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 28,623. Beckers, G., and Le Hanne, F. Dec. 12, 1912, [Convention date]. Reeds.-The reed comprises a frame 1, Figs. 3, 4, and 7, which is fixed to the lay, and a relativelymovable frame 4 having dents 3 intercalating with the dents 2 of the frame 1. The dents 3 normally extend in front of the dents 2, but are moved into line with them at the beat-up, as shown in Fig. 4, either automatically or otherwise. The movable reed dents may be normally, maintained in their forward position by springs 10 on bolts 6, which are fixed to the frame 1 and pass through slots 7 in the side posts 8 of the frame 4. When the beat-up occurs, the springs 10 yield, and the dents 3 come into line with the dents 2. This relative movement may, however, be effected by fixed studs 12 on the loom frame passing through corresponding slots in the side parts of the frame 1 and bearing against the side posts 8 of the frame 4 ; or the movement may be effected by applying a pull at 11, Fig. 7, to the side posts 8. The second reed may swing about the first, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, or may move parallel thereto, as shown in Fig. 7, and its movement may be limited by angle-shaped abutments 14 adjustably fixed to one or more bars 17 on the fixed frame. In a modification, the bars 22, Fig. 8, of the relatively-movable frame 4 are bent at their lower ends to pass through the dents or bars 2. The reed may comprise one fixed part and two movable parts. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also reeds having dents of the shapes shown in Figs. 8, 9, and 10 (Cancelled). This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Clockwork Controlled Mechanism for Operating Gas Valves, Electric Switches and the like.
Inventor: HORSTMANN ERNST HERMANN
Filed: 1914-01-03
Granted: 1915-01-04
Abstract: 165. Horstmann, E. H., Horstmann, G. O. H., Horstmann, A., Horstmann, S. A., and Edgar, W. T. Jan. 3. Actuating.-In an arrangement for operating gas-valves, electric switches, &c. by clock-work mechanism in which tappets acting through an operating-lever produce angular displacements of the valve or other member in opposite directions, the sequence of the series of operations is continuously maintained by the selective or discriminative nature of one or more, but not all, of the tappets. The arrangement comprises a lever a with a thrust lever c, as described in Specification 14,825/11, co-operating with a recessed plate z secured to the oscillating valve or like member. As the tappet c is carried round by the dial and engages the lever a, a pin d thereon contacts with the end m of the lever c, and the pin c<1> is forced into engagement with a recess b<4> on one side of the valve plate. The valve is thereby closed. When the sub-tappet n of the tappet w engages the lever a, it allows the lever c to lift under the influence of the weight h, the pin c<1> then engaging the recess b<2>, and a pin j and extension k limiting the movement of the valve. By this means, the main valve is opened. The next sub-tappet p allows the pin c<1> to enter the recess b<6>, the valve being thus rotated to cut off the pilot and leave only the burner alight. When the tappet e again comes round and engages with the lever a, the pin c<1> is first withdrawn from the recess b<6> with a slight circular movement, during which the pin engages the barbed projections b<5> to rotate the valve into a position to supply gas to both the main and pilot burners. As the tappet c completes its movement, the pin d acts as described above to divert the pin c' into the recess b' to close the main valve. In a modification, the valve plate member z is used in an inverted position, each tappet not contacting with the lever a until after the passage of the ' line of centres,' that is, the line passing through the fulcrum of these two levers. In a simpler arrangement, the barbed projection b<5> is not used.
