Title: Means for Delivering Change in Combination with a Cash Register
Inventor: MCKENZIE DONALD GEORGE
Filed: 1906-01-08
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 474. McKenzie, D. G. Jan. 8. Money-delivering apparatus.-The apparatus is combined with a cash-register in which there is a shaft which is turned by hand to an extent which varies with the amount of the sale shown by a dial or tape &c. The machine is shown and described for paying change from a halfpenny to elevenpence halfpenny. The coin tubes A, B, C, D, Fig. 6, are for halfpence, pence, threepenny pieces, and sixpenny pieces, respectively. The tubes are filled through slots 9, surplus coins passing along the shoots 11 to a receptacle beneath. The coins are ejected by perforated slides 12 urged forwards by springs 17 and subjected to a dual control, namely, by key-levers 35 marked 1s., 6d., 3d., and 1d., respectively, and by notched disks 44 on shafts geared to the cash-register shaft above mentioned. The levers 35 control the spring latches 21 which engage with notches in the slides. The shilling lever releases all the latches 21, the 6d. lever releases all except the latch of the 6d. tube, and so on. This is effected by suitably slotting the connecting- bars 26. The suitably notched disks 44 either allow the projections 14 on the slides to pass, or atop them. The penny slide is double so that either one or two pennies may be discharged at one action. When a slide is liberated, it turns a lever 32 by the connexion 31. This lever acts on a bar 39 and trips a catch 37 which liberates the cash drawer 7 and allows the spring 36 to pull the drawer forward so that its contents may be removed. In moving forward, the drawer brings a rod 34 against all the levers 32 and thus restores all the slides in their retracted position. A projection 66 on the drawer trips a pawl from a ratchet-wheel 57 and allows a spring to return the cash-register spindle to its zero position.

Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1906-07-09
Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 15,545. Boult, A. J., [Lanston Monotype Machine Co.]. July 9. Monotype and like machines.-Relates to line measuring and indicating mecbanism for recordstrip perforating and other composing-machines, and more especially for the keyboard perforator described in Specification No. 18,638, A.D. 1899. (1) The motor and return cylinders 8, 9, Fig. 3, for the motor rack 10 communicate with an airpressure chamber 25, Fig. 7, having ports 27, 28, 29 controlled by a valve 30 on the resetting-key 31. (2) The units-wheel locking-dog 12, Fig. 5, and the space - counter holding - pawl 20, Fig. 3, are released for resetting by means of a piston 36 in a cylinder 35 controlled by the valve 30, from the pipe leading to the return cylinder 9. The pushrod 34 for the dog 12 is cut short and bent to one side to bring its end over the piston 36 and adjacent to the pawl 20. The piston 36 carries a plate or arm provided with a pin 38 for releasing the pawl 20. (3) The dog 12 is released when the units-rack 11 is moved into engagement with the units-wheel 7, by means of a connexion 40 which co-operates with a lifting-cam 41 on a bell-crank lever 42 actuated from the rocking frame overlying the punch levers. (4) The units-rack carrier 13 is raised by the cam 41 through an arm or projection 44 situated behind the connexion 40, to ensure the engagement of the one part 11 or 12 before withdrawal of the other. (5) The motor rack 10 serves only as a gauge as regards the pinion 48 for driving the chart carrier 16. Motion is imparted to the pinion 48, against the action of a returning-spring 53, by means of a rack 50 connected with a piston 51 working loosely in a cylinder 52 communicating with the chamber 25, Fig. 7, and controlled by a key 58. The motion is limited by means of a rack 47 loose on the rack 10 and arrested by a gauge shoulder 46 on the rack 10.

Title: Improvements in Vehicles for Railways and Roads
Inventor: SAYER ROBERT COOKE
IPC: B60F1/00
Filed: 1906-08-11
Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 18,021. Sayer, R. C. Dec. 19. Crossings; rails; elevated railways.-To prevent delay at junctions, crossings, and other confluences of road and railway traffic, the main-line traffic is arranged to pass without stopping while the branchline or other traffic is passed on to an elevated bridge device and thus clear of the main-line traffic, the vehicles being provided with a special set of wheels from which they are suspended while traversing the bridge. Fig. 1 shows a plan and Fig. 2 a side elevation of the bridge device as applied to a railway junction. The bridge carries a double set of rails f, g, of wider gauge than the ordinary track, on either of which the additional vehicle wheels may run. The ends of the bridge are inclined as shown and crossing-places k are formed in the centre portion of the bridge whereby the wheels on either side of the vehicle pass from one rail to the other. The upper wheels of the vehicles are under control of the drivers, who cause the rear wheels to first pass on to the outer rails f and the front ones afterwards on to the rails g. The vehicles are thus kept horizontal. The vehicle wheels change positions at the crossings k, thus causing the vehicles also to descend horizontally when leaving the bridge. Intermediate junctions and bridges may be arranged between different portions of the main bridge, the auxiliary bridges being clear of the ordinary traffic. and the cars moving along them on their lower wheels.

Patent GB-190706836-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Compressed Air Brakes.
Inventor: HOWORTH FRANKLIN WISE
Filed: 1907-03-21
Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 6836. Howorth, F. W., [Compagnie Internationale de Freinage (SystÞme Luyers), Soc. Anon.]. March 21. Brakes.-A distributing-valve device for compressed - air brakes, which is adapted to vent the train-pipe locally to the atmosphere, is shown by two sections taken on planes perpendicular to each other. The train-pipe connexion 4 communicates through a cutout cock 5 with a chamber 6, which is separated by a diaphragm 8 from a chamber 7, which is in communication with the auxiliary reservoir or reservoirs. The diaphragm 8 is linked by rods 16, 17 to slide valves 15, 18 respectively, and a slide valve 24 is connected to a piston 11 which separates a chamber 3 from the chamber 7. In the running position showo, the train-pipe and chamber 6 are in communication with the auxiliary reservoir and chamber 7 through a pipe 23 and port 22, and with the chamber 3 through a port 13, pipe 14, and port 29 ; and the brake cylinder connexion 20 is vented to the atmosphere through passages 27, 26, the cavity in the slide valve 24, and the port 25. When train - pipe pressure is reduced to apply the brakes, the diaphragm 8 is inflected towards the train-pipe. This first causes the slide valve 18 to blank the port 22, and so cut the auxiliary reservoir off from the train-pipe, and moves the slide valve 15 to connect the ports 13, 28 to vent the chamber 3 to the atmosphere. Auxiliary reservoir pressure then moves the piston 11 and slide valve 24 to blank the port 29, and so disconnect the chamber 3 from the pipe 14, and to close the brake cylinder exhaust. As the diaphragm 8 continues to bend, the slide valve 15 uncovers the ports 12 and vents the train-pipe, and the slide valve 18 puts the auxiliary reservoir into communication with the brake cylinder through ports 19. When auxiliary reservoir pressure has fallen to that of the trainpipe, the diaphragm 8 becomes straightened again, and the slide valves 15, 18 return to the positions shown, so that any leak from the train - pipe extends to the auxiliary reservoir and does not affect the distributor. When train-pipe pressure is increased to release the brakes, the chamber 3 is charged through the pipe 14, a branch pipe 30, and a non-return valve 31, and as the chamber 3 is very small compared with the auxiliary reservoir, the pressure therein rises rapidly and moves the piston 11 back to the position shown to exhaust the brake cylinder. There is a small hole 32 through the piston 11, so that the pressure in the chamber 3 is equalized with that in the auxiliary reservoir, and this prevents the slide valve 24 from being lifted off its seat by the brake cylinder pressure when the brake has been fully applied by the rupturing of the train-pipe.
