Title: Improvements in Statement Delivery Apparatus for Meters.
Inventor: GALLAGHER RICHARD WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-11-02
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 23,348. Gallagher, R. W. Nov. 20, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Counting - apparatus; driving - mechanism for record-strips; fares, registering.-In apparatus of the kind in which a record of a meter reading is delivered in duplicate from gas, electric, or other supply meters, the paper strip, which is divided into readily detachable portions, is printed with amounts of the commodity together with the corresponding prices, as shown in Fig. 2, and is marked opposite the amount consumed and in the zero position respectively, upon opening and shutting the front of the apparatus. The strip 42 is fed forward by a cylinder 38, having pins to engage holes in the strip, and is driven from the counting- wheels by a snap action device, similar to that described in Specification No. 9652, A.D. 1905, through gear-wheels 5, 6, Fig. 13, and bevel-wheels 8, 9. The wheel 9 is provided with a circular flange 19 formed with internal teeth 20, Fig. 5, connected to a cylinder 17 by a coiled spring 21, retained in position by a washer 23, Fig. 3. The cylinder 17 is provided with ratchet teeth 18, and has secured to it a disk 16 provided with a crown flange 31 having equidistant lugs 22, Fig. 4. Fixed upon the shaft 10 carrying the cylinder is a disk 26 formed with undercut radial grooves 25, in which move dogs 24, Fig. 4, carrying pins 30 sliding on the teeth 20 and passing through slots in the disk 26. Springs on the back of the disk 26 tend to force the dogs outwards. The disk 16 and consequently the cylinder 17 can only move under the influence of the coiled spring when one of the projections 22 is released by the depression of one or other of the dogs 24 by the teeth 20. The movement is communicated to the cylinder 38 by a ratchet ring 32, pressed into engagement with the cylinder 17 by a spring and formed with a tooth 34 on its sleeve 33 to engage with a similar tooth on the flange of the feed-roller. When the door 60 of the casing is opened, a projection 61 rotates a shaft 64 through an arm 63, Fig. 13, and this causes a punch 52, Fig. 15, to puncture the strip at 69 opposite the amount consumed, as shown in Fig. 2. At the same time, projections 70 on the door allow a bar 73 to be depressed by a spring, pins 76 on the bar entering perforations 43 in the strip as it is drawn out, thus allowing the bill to be torn off and positioning the strip to be punched at 77 in the zero space when the door is closed again. The bar 73 is raised by the projections 70 when the casing is closed. One strip is retained in the mechanism as a duplicate. The apparatus is stated to be applicable to taxameters.

Or the pieces a may be driven into the bore of the coil. The sleeves b may be driven or shrunk on to the coil c. Balls e, Fig. 5, may be placed between the corepieces a.
Patent GB-190923722-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Take-up Apparatus for Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: STIBBE GODFREY
IPC: D04B15/88
Filed: 1909-10-16
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 23,722. Stibbe, G. Oct. 16. Circular machines.-The fabric take-up apparatus in machines in which the cylinders revolve is regulated by a friction drive which slips under increased tension of the fabric. The rollers 1, 2 are carried in a pivoted frame, and are driven by means of a worm-wheel 9, worm 10, and pinion 14. The worm 10 is connected to the shaft 13 through a friction clutch 12, which is held in driving position by a pin 23. This pin is carried in an arm 25 connected to the frame 3. When the tension increases on account of a slower production, the rollers travel up the fabric, causing the pin 23 to release the clutch. When the tension decreases, the reverse action takes place and causes the acceleration of the take-up rollers. The clutch comprises a number of friction plates connected to the worm 10 and to the clutch casing 12 respectively. The worm 10 is loose on the shaft 13 to which the clutch casing is keyed, but is movable up and down under the pressure of the pin 23.

Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 30,286. Strawson, G. F. Dec. 28. Dark boxes. - A collapsible box forming a dark-chamber for daylight developing is fitted with non-actinic windows, light-tight arm-holes, developing and fixing tanks, and a spindle with a roller sliding upon and rotating with it; upon the roller a flexible band is wound having a clip for attaching the plate or film-carrier whereby the plates can be raised and lowered into adjacent baths. The box is constructed with four detachable sides a, a<1>, b, b<1>, a lid d, and base e, Figs. 4 and 13. One edge of each side c is bent at right-angles, and fits between the adjacent side and an inner strip c<1> which is connected to the side by the shorter strip c<2>. The hollow roller f is formed with flanges f<1> which fit within a recess formed upon the sides of the box. The roller is slotted, and the sliding spindle g is connected to the outer sliding roller g<2> by a screw extending through the slot. The roller g<2> can thus be moved into position over any of three adjacent tanks i, i<1>, i<2>, the flanges g<4> registering the roller over the outside tanks i, i<2>. The fabric h with a plate-clip h' is wound ¾n the roller g<2>. An additional base for the tanks consists of a wire frame such as j, Fig. 6. The light-tight operating-sleeves b<3> are fitted to the sides of the box, and non-actinic windows are fitted in the front and rear faces. An auxiliary non-actinic window a<4> is fitted over one of these by means of a ledge a<5> and turnbutton a<6>, Fig. 3, to exclude light more effectively. In the case of a slowly dissolving substance, a small receptacle is used with a false bottom and with a hook to engage the upper edges of the tank. For readily - dissolving substances, the receptacle is used with a plain bottom.

Abstract: 19,198. Wilson, C. S. Aug. 16. Steam-traps.-A float d, normally resting on supports a<6> on an inclined detachable base a<2>, is secured by a flat arm d<1> to a bell-crank lever, turning on a pivot d<2> above a recess a<5>, and having a concave finger d<3> which, when the float rises, displaces a ball valve c from its seat b<1>, and allows the water to escape through a hollow screwed plug b. When the float has again fallen, the ball c is carried back to its seat by the rush of steam through the outlet. When steam is shut off and the pressure in the casing drops below a certain value, the ball c rolls down its inclined seat, leaving the outlet open. A transverse rod e prevents the ball from leaving the recess a<5>. The inlet a<3> is provided with a baffle. In a modification, the valve seat b' is inclined so that the finger d<3> pushes the ball up the incline when the float rises.

Abstract: 23,226. Leach, A. Nov. 9, 1909. Warps, balling.-In a warp-balling machine in which the ball is rotated by contact with a winding-drum, the ball is wound on a beam &c. 32, which is supported by arms 36 pivoted upon adjustable blocks 39 so arranged that, as the winding proceeds, the arms 36 turn and automatically regulate the pressure of the ball upon the winding-drum 31. The yarns are guided to the ball by one or more guides 41, each of which comprises a part 42 having fixed inclined portions 43 connected by a curved face 44 and a part 42<a> consisting of a vertically-adjustable straight bar 45<a> and a bar 45 having a depression 83 in its upper edge.
