Patent GB-190203321-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Money Saving Box or Purse
Inventor: SMITH GEORGE
Filed: 1902-02-10
Granted: 1903-02-10
Abstract: 3321. Smith, G. Feb. 10. Money boxes.-Relates to money boxes con- structed to receive only a counted number of coins of one or two denominations and to remain locked till full. The hinged lid b of the box a contains, by means of a bearing-plate c, a numbering-disc o having ratchet teeth on the underside and a driving- lever f on a pivot g with a lip i as pawl. Normally, the lever having engagement holes is held by catches z upon the plate c, but a coin inserted through a slot k in the end of the lid disengages the catches by bearing on the bulges shown in Fig. 5, and the lever is then moved by the pro- truding finger-piece f<2> to carry the coin by flanges m to a hole din the plate c, where it drops into the box. The bulges of the catches rising up behind the coin prevent it from being withdrawn, and, in the return movement of the lever, the ratchet numbering-disc is driven a unit space. After the first coin has been so introduced, the lid is kept shut by a spring catch u on the box engaging a plain disc p attached to the ratchet disc, but, when the revolu- tion is complete, a notch in the disc is presented to the catch, allowing the lid to bo lifted, further revolution being prevented by the lip 1 of the notch abutting against the catch. A tongue n in the lever pushes the coin through the hole. In a modification, shown in Fig. 1, from the underside of the lid, the outer part f of the lever f, being loose on a pivot h, is ineffective till a coin against its flanged edge m<1> is home against the curved flanged edge j of the main part of the lever. The box has lugs v to snap into the claw end u of a latch q on a pivot r, and under the control of a spring w. When the complement of coins has been introduced, a lug p<*> on the under disc p presses the latch at a lug s to set the lid free. A shoulder t of the latch then obstructs a lug x on the lever, and so prevents it from reassuming the position for receiving a coin.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture, or Production, of Milk in the Form known as Milk Powder, applicable also to the Treatment of other solutions containing Fatty Matter.
Inventor: BUTLER ROBERT REGINALD FREDERI
Filed: 1904-03-10
Granted: 1904-10-27
Abstract: 5946. Butler, R. R. F. March 10. Preserving.-In the preparation of powders from solutions containing fatty matter, such as milk, by high-temperature drying, the solution is first forced through fine sieves or perforated bodies so as to break up the fatty particles and prevent them from rising to the surface when the powder is dissolved in water. For example, the solution may be forced from the containing-vessel into the interior of a perforated pipe contained therein, whence it flows between the cylinders of the drying-apparatus. Instead of being forced into a perforated tube, the solution may be forced through fine orifices at the ends of a branched tube against a surface from which it is conducted to be dried.

Title: Improvements in Brakes for Velocipedes and other Road Vehicles.
Inventor: DRING JOHN
Filed: 1904-04-27
Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 9641. Dring, J. April 27. Brakes.-Relates to the construction of yokes and padholders of rim brakes for velocipedes and other road vehicles, and to the attachment of Bowden mechanism to the operating -levers. The yoke with a slotted projection b to receive the nipple of the inextensible member is formed by a single pressing, the ends being turned over and secured at a<2> to form lateral bosses for the pad-holders. Each holder, together with its stem, is formed in one piece. This is effected by cutting out a blank, turning up the edges g<1>, Fig. 4, and bulging out a central projecting portion h which may be turned over into circular form. Holes i for the take-off spring may be simultaneously made. The stem may be threaded, or, as shown, to provide for adjustment, a plain stem may carry a sliding internally-threaded block k, with or without a head k<1> riding in a slot j, so that, by passing a screw l through the block and into an orifice e in the yoke, a saddle washer m being used, if desired, the holder is secured in position. In order that the pads may be loosely mounted, the hole e is oblong transversely to the slot j, so that the screw has a limited movement within the hole. The method of attaching the Bowden mechanism to the operating-lever, shown in Fig. 9, prevents any considerable bending of the wire. A stud q pivoted in the bulge of the lever, receiver the nipple r of the wire a, while a block v, bored in two diameters to provide a passage for the wire and an abutment for the outer member x, is pivoted in a lug upon the clip t. Thus, when the lever is operated, the stud and block turn under the action of the wire. The lower part of the clip is of channelled form to give the requisite strength to the lug.
