Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 26,937. Evans, E. Dec. 5. Electricity, supplying; coin action ; coin-discharging mechanism. -The working of the meter rotates one member of an epicyclic arrangement through gearing a, b, c, d, thereby gradually returning a planet - wheel f and roller q to the initial position, when the roller by turning links r, s withdraws a support u from the coin, permitting it to escape from between contacts y, z and open the consumer's circuit. The inserted coin depresses a counterweighted lever i, rotating by a pawl m a wheel n and thence through a gear p the other member h of the epicyclic gear, thereby setting forward the planet-wheel f. The coin passes from the lever i into the shoot v, and thence between contacts y, z. To allow for changes in the prices of electricity, the initial position of the lever i is determined by an abutment a<1> adjustable on a perforated segment b<1>. A pointer g travelling with the planet-wheel indicates at any time the quantity of electricity standing to the customer's credit.

Abstract: 20,467. Giuliani, V. Sept. 30, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Calculatinq - apparatus; counting - apparatus.- The manually-operated setting-wheels c of an apparatus for addition and subtraction, which may also be utilized in a similar manner for multiplication and division, are provided in the example shown with three series of ten teeth, every tenth tooth being coloured white, (shown shaded in Fig. 1). These wheels, which engage with number-wheels a, are set with the aid of scales bearing the numerals 18, 2<7> 36 ... 9<0> as shown, the large numerals being utilized for addition and the small ones for subtraction. In setting an amount in the course of either operation the selected tooth is depressed until it is on a level with the plate g. The result of a calculation is read on the wheels a which bear a double series of numerals similar to those described above ; the numerals on the tooth opposite the aperture marked + being exposed to view. Transfer from a lower to a higher wheel takes place by means of a cam d, a weighted transfer lever e, and a pivoted pawl f. Overthrow is prevented by connecting the pawl and transfer lever by means of a cord h ; the length of the cord being insufficient to allow the weighted end of the transfer lever after its elevation by the cam to fall into contact again with it. The pawl f is thus held in engagement with, and locks, the teeth of the higher wheel c. Spring detents bare provided. To zeroise the numeral wheels, a shaded tooth of each setting-wheel c is brought into alinement with the plate g, in which case the number 999 ... appears in the aperture +. The units wheel c is now turned through one tooth in the proper direction, thus zeroizing all the wheels a. In a modification, the wheels a are dispensed with, and the series of numerals marked directly on the teeth of the wheels c, which are shaped like those of a, a suitable aperture for viewing the numerals being provided.
