Patent GB-189806112-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Money Delivering Apparatus.
Inventor: LINDELOEF LEONARD
Filed: 1898-03-12
Granted: 1898-09-03
Abstract: 6112. Lindel÷f, L. March 12. Money-delivering apparatus.-Coins are ejected from tubes a by pushers c actuated by arms i on a shaft d. This shaft is given the required oscillation by depressing the hand-lever f. Normally all the arms i are loose on the shaft d, but on depressing one or more of the keys r the corresponding spindles o are rocked by the cranks p which engage notches in the key shanks. The fingers s on the shafts o then make triangular rods m slide longitudinally, against the action of returning-springs. These rods act by arms n upon clutch pieces l, which slide into position to couple the arms i, corresponding to the keys depressed, to the shaft d, so that, when the hand-lever is actuated, the required coins are ejected. The keys are held down, until the handle is worked, by sliding spring detents, which are subsequently pushed back again by wedge-shaped pieces on a lever rocked by a cam on the shaft d. In a modified form, the movements of the rods m couple the required pushers to a sliding pushrod ; or, again, key levers geared directly to the pushers by links and levers may be employed. The apparatus may be actuated by a spring.

Patent GB-189904517-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pneumatically Operated Automatic Musical Instruments.
Inventor: KENDALL CHARLES BIGELOW
Filed: 1899-03-01
Granted: 1899-11-25
Abstract: 4517. Kendall, C. B. March 1. Automatic instruments.-The invention consists in improvements on that described in Specification No. 15,696, A.D. 1897, which relates to means for automatically playing banjoes, guitars, mandolins, or like instruments. Tubes 27 lead to the trackerboard, and tubes 32 to the pneumatics, which operate the means for stopping and plucking the strings described in the prior Specification. The part of the apparatus forming the subject matter of the present invention is the connection between these two sets of tubes. This part consists of a box built up from sections, the face of one of which is shown. The sections are placed side by side, packing being interposed between them so as to separate them, excepting opposite the space shown at 44, where the packing is cut away so as to form a continuous chamber. This chamber consequently runs the whole length of the box, and air is exhausted from it by means of a bellows. The sections are built up from sub-sections 20, 21, 22, and 23 which are held together by clamps 56, and each section is shown containing two separate, though like, parts of the action, but more may be contained in them if desired. Air being admitted to a tube 27 through the tracker-board, a diaphragm 48. rises, thus lifting a ball valve 43 from its lower seat and pressing it against its upper seat in a cavity 33. This cavity communicates with the tube 32, and also with the outer air through a passage 40, which is covered with wire gauze so as to exclude dust. When the valve rises, it closes the passage 40 and puts the tube in communication with the exhaust 44, thus causing the pneumatic to collapse. The diaphragms 48 have small holes through which the tubes 27 are exhausted. The tubes 27 are connected to the chambers 51 by rubber or other plugs, and extend upwards into the chambers, against the sides of which their openings direct the air current, so as to prevent dust from being drawn into the apparatus. As additional protection against dust, wire gauze is placed at 53.

Title: Improvements in the Means for and Methods of Humidifying the Air of Rooms.
Inventor: WHITELOW EDWARD TURNER
Filed: 1899-09-21
Granted: 1900-08-11
Abstract: 19,013. Whitelow, E. T., [Kestner, P.]. Sept. 21. Forced ventilation; air, moistening; air, supplying and drawing-off, methods of-Air is forced at a high velocity over water or wet surfaces, or through spray, and takes up the water in excess, the excess being afterwards removed in a separator. The water may be separated by admitting the air tangentially to a cylindrical chamber, against the sides of which the liquid is thrown, being thus in constant contact with the whirling air current. Or a centrifugal or screw fan may serve as a separator, as in Fig. 6, where the casing of the centrifugal fan V has a peripheral channel c to carry off the water. The water may flow away through the air delivery pipe, as shown in Fig 9. When the fan delivers to a separator above it, the separated water may be returned by gravity to a sprayer in the air pipe. Fig. 8 shows a spray moistenerp in the air-suction pipe of the fan which delivers to the separator S, from which the air pipes n', n<2> branch. In applying the apparatus to a building, the temperature of the air may be controlled by regulating the relative quantities that are drawn from inside or outside the building. Fig. 11 shows the arrangement of apparatus for circulating moistened air in two rooms A, B. Warm air is drawn into the room A from the pipe M<1> in the room B, and into the room B from the pipe M<2> in the room A, while cold air is supplied to the rooms through the valved openings M, M<3>, b<1>, b<2>. Different arrangements of the intake and delivery pipes in a room to ensure circulation are described, a suitable humidifier being that described in Specification No. 13,030, A.D. 1898,

Title: Improvements relating to Acetylene Gas Generators.
Inventor: KAUTNY THEODOR
Filed: 1901-01-08
Granted: 1901-03-30
Abstract: 478. Kautny, T., and Lotz, R. W. Jan. 8. Acetylene.-Relates to apparatus for generating acetylene gas, in which a definite quantity of carbide is automatically fed to an excess of water at intervals determined by the consumption of the gas, and which automatically discharges a given quantity of water and refuse at each generating operation, the discharged water being automatically replaced. Fig. 1 shows a general view of one form of the apparatus with the parts extended. The generating-chamber 1 is surmounted by a carbide hopper 6, at the mouth of which is arranged a feeding-device 7, consisting of two parallel side plates, of the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4, connected together by cross-plates 12 and 13, the upper of which is arranged so as to interrupt the flow of carbide, while the lower one is dumping its charge. This feeding-device is mounted on a spindle 8, furnished at its outer end with a weighted lever and a bent rod, the latter of which is acted on by an arm 46 on the main gas holder 4U when a fresh supply is required. At each fresh charge of carbide, the sudden generation of gas forces a quantity of water from the generating-chamber into a side chamber 18, whereupon a valve 20 is automatically opened by the rising of a float 25, and a quantity of water and refuse is discharged. The discharged water is replaced from a tank 50, furnished with a ball cock 51. A similar action takes place upon an excessive generation of gas, in which case the excess of gas escapes through a safety tube 48", the lower end of which becomes unsealed. Normally, the gas leaves the generating-chamber by a pipe 27, and is conducted first into a holder 32, containing purifying-material, and thence into the main holder 40. By keeping the pressure in the holder 32 higher than that in the holder 40, sudden fluctuations of pressure in the latter are prevented. Two modified forms of apparatus are described. In one of these, the generating- chamber is surmounted by a tank containing an annular gas holder, the descent of which depresses a pair of internal floats in connection, with the carbide-feeding device. In the second modification, the gas holder carries the carbide hopper, and dips into the generating-chamber, the carbidefeeding device being actuated when the lower end of a weighted rod comes in contact with the bottom of the generating-chamber.
