Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 18,757. White, T. A. Aug. 18. Locks, permutation.-In a permutation lock, the bolt A is locked by a number of disks C which are provided with projections c adapted to work in keyhole slots a in the bolt. The disks are operated to bring the projections into line with the straight parts of the slots a by means of a key K engaging the heads H of the disk spindles B, the key carrying a dial plate L and a loose plate M which, when the key is inserted, is positioned on the lock casing by a pin m. To change the combination, the disk D slidably mounted on the spindle B is discon nected from the disk C which is loose on the spindle, and is then turned until the new combination is obtained and a pin d re-engaged with an aperture in the disk C. As shown in Fig. 8, the combination is changed from the back of the casing, knobs T being provided on the disks D. A detachable dial plate is provided, of which the part F is positioned on the casing by means of a pin f, and the part G, adapted to rotate on the part F, is secured to the knob T by means of a rib t. In a modification, the combination is changed from the front of the casing, the spindles B being hollow and adapted to receive a long key which pushes the disk D out of engagement with the disk C. A scattering-device for the disks is provided. This consists of a friction disk P on a spindle Q, which is in engagement with similar disks N on the spindles B. The spindle Q also carries a locking-lug U which interlocks with a keyhole slot in the bolt A. A ratchet device S connects the friction disk P to the spindle Q, so that the handle R has to be turned in a definite direction to scatter the locking-disks, and cannot re-set them by being turned back. A shieldplate 0 on the spindle Q covers the keyholes H in the spindles B except when the bolt is locked, so that the releasing positions of the disks cannot be detected. A plate W, connected to and sliding with the bolt A, covers the knobs T while the bolt is locked. Keys.-The key operates the spindle B by means of a lever k<2> mounted within its barrel and having a pin k<1> adapted to enter an aperture h in the spindle head H.

Granted: 1914-08-20
Abstract: 29,047. South Metropolitan Gas Co., and Evans, E. V. Dec. 16. Ammonium, sulphate, sulphocyanide, and other ammonium salts.-The cyanogen of crude coalgas is recovered in the form of ammonium sulphocyanide and this is then converted into ammonium sulphate or other ammonium salt by hydrolysis with sulphuric or other acid under conditions which ensure a good yield of ammonium salt. The conditions as to temperature, concentration, and proportions for obtaining this result are described. Preferably an excess of acid is used equal to the amount required to neutralize the ammonia in the gas from which the sulphocyanide has been obtained, and this liquor is then fed to the saturator. The Provisional Specification states that the cyanogen of the crude coal-gas is recovered as a sulphocyanide, preferably as ammonium sulphocyanide, for instance by washing with water or ammoniacal liquor containing suspended or dissolved sulphur.
