Title: Improvements in Automatic Valve Apparatus for Diverting the Flow of Liquids.
Inventor: HODGSON JOHN LAWRENCE
Filed: 1905-12-12
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 25,831. Hodgson, J. L., and Walker, G. D. Dec. 12. Storm-water, separating; traps.-Relates to an automatic valve apparatus for discharging a stream of liquid in a certain channel and when the flow exceeds a specified amount for diverting it into another channel. The apparatus is shown in Fig. 2 applied to protect a sewage tank from dilution and disturbance bya storm flow or the like. The chamber VC from which the sewage is distributed is connected by the passage G to the sewage tank and by the passage H to the storm-water filter. The valve device comprises two valve caps C, D carried one at each end of a frame which is pivoted between the discharge orifices A, B. The frame is weighted by weights AW adjustable so that the centre of gravity of the pivoted system may be brought above the pivot and a few degrees out of the vertical line on the side B from which storm water is discharged. The frame on this side is also fitted with two floats F by means of which the valve cap D is raised and the cap C closed when the liquid level rises due to the flow becoming normal. In operation during a normal flow, the (liquid discharges through the outlet A into the sewage-tank passage. In the event of an abnormal increase of the flow, the rise in the liquid level in the chamber VC causes the floats F to operate the pivoted system, thereby lowering the valve cap C and raising the cap D to establish the connexion through B and H to the storm-water filter. The discharge orifices are provided with a number of rectangular weirs which can be adjusted in width by means of plates P fixed to a ring so that the level of the liquid can be adjusted for any flow below the maximum allowed for.

Patent GB-190613969-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Temporarily-acting Make and Break Devices for Electric Contact Apparatus.
Inventor: WENGELIN JOHAN VICTOR
Filed: 1906-06-18
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 13,969. Wengelin, J. V. June 18. Winding-mechanism.-A spring contact-arm bears on a rotating wheel and completes the circuit of an electro-magnet which operates mechanism 1 for winding clocks. The disk 2 on the spindle 1 has an insulating-rim thickened in front of the contact 4, the rear edge of which is also covered by insulating-material. One end of a long spring contactpiece 5 bears against the disk 2, and each time it touches the contact 4 the electro-magnet 7 is energized. This attracts its armature 10, thereby rocking the arm 12 to wind up a clock by toothed wheels 13, 14. As the armature 10 is attracted, the projection 15 on the arm 12 presses against the spring contact 5 and moves it rapidly from the contact 4, thus breaking the circuit of the electromagnet 7. The armature 10 and arm 12 are then returned to their initial position by gravity or a spring, and the contact-piece 5 bears against the rear insulated edge of the contact 4. A modification is shown in Fig. 4. The contacts 4, 5 complete the circuit of the electro-magnets, and one of them partly rotates its armature 23, which operates a pawl 24 and ratchet wheel 25. The other 17 also attracts its armature 16, and the pin 15 therein drags the spring 5 over the contact 4, breaking the circuit. The contact-pieces 4 may be adjustable round the disk 2 to vary the time of making contact.

Granted: 1907-09-07
Abstract: 17,774. Deutsche Triumphkasse Ges. Aug. 7, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Typewriters and like machines.-In a cash - registering till in which racks operated by levers set the customer's and salesman's indicators and adding-mechanism, the racks carry the recording-type, each rack being in two parts alternately locked by interlocking detents, a salesman's lever being provided to unlock the lever which actuates the transfer mechanism and the rack detents and releases the drawer. The rack for each unit is in two parts 7, 8, Fig. 2, working on vertical guide-rods 6, each lower rack having projecting jaws in -which works a pin on the rear arm of its setting-lever 32. The double locking-device for the racks consists of pawls 72 on the shaft 64 and a bevelled stirrup 63 on a shaft 65, an arm 68<1> riveted to the upper stirrup being pin-and-slot connected to a stirrup 62 which is .adapted to force the spring-controlled pawls 72 out of engagement when the arm 68, Fig. 5, of the upper stirrup, projecting outside the frame, is engaged by a stud 120 on the lever 119 fast on the shaft 39 which is actuated by the handlever 75, and actuates at the same time, through the link 118, and gearing shown, the cam shaft 88 of the suitably modified transfer mechanism for the adding-wheels. A projection 121 of the lever 119 also operates, through the cam 123, the printing-mechanism. The end of the lever 119 also raises the draw latch 56, thus tripping the yielding tooth 50 of the stirrup 51 so as to free the bent end 69 of the piece 68<1> attached to the upper stirrup, in order to release the lacking-stirrup 63 from the indicator racks, which then fall, returning the indicators to zero, the arm 70 simultaneously raising the indicator shutter 17. The saleman's indicators for the amount are arranged to show the numbers in position as shown in Fig. 7, and are attached to the lower racks 8 together with the narrow racks 18 which set the adding-wheels. The setting-levers operate the corresponding racks by means of bridge-pieces 35, 36, 37, and 38. The setting-racks are adapted to be locked against operation till the drawer is closed by a cross-bar 43 attached to the guided rod 42 and engaged by a spring latch 44 which is released by an incline on the drawer. The operating-lever 75 is locked till the salesman's lever has been set by a lever 80, Fig. 4, pivoted on the shaft 65 and having an end 85 abutting on the arm 77 of the operating-lever 75 until the lever 80 is freed by the rod 84 attached to the salesman's setting-rack, a stud 86 on the lever 80 being adapted to engage teeth on the arm 77 and ensure full stroke of the lever 75. The setting-mechanism may be rendered independent of the closing of the drawer, by locking the latch 44 by means of the pin 47. The salesman's lever may be dispensed with, the locking-lever 80 being operated by the prolonged pin 81 engaging the guided rod 42.
