Filed: 1904-09-14
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 19,817. Smith, M. W. Sept. 14. Receipts, checking and recording.- A series of coin tubes is provided with mechanism at each end to register the number of coins inserted and withdrawn ; and a record strip, on which the amount of the purchase is written through a narrow opening, is fed forward at each operation. In a modification, the coins inserted and withdrawn are recorded automatically on separate strips, by perforating or printing mechanism, the entries on the two strips being numbered to correspond with each other. Fig. 2 shows the mechanism in connection with one of the coin tubes. The receiving-aperture b is provided with a weighted catch d to prevent the operation of the slide c in the absence of a coin. A ratchet-wheel e actuated by a pawl f winds a numbered tape g<1> from a spring drum g<2> over a roller h behind an aperture in the casing. To re-set the indicators, the pawls f and non- return pawls f1 are withdrawn by the action of cams i<2>, a<3> on sliding bars i<1>, i<1>. The record-strip mechanism is shown in Fig. 3. A ratchet-wheel l is actuated by a pawl l<1>, which is connected to flaps m, m<1> covering the slides c. A flap m<3> covering the apertures b may be connected by a link m' as shown. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the casing containing the record strip may be pivoted and acted upon by a spring so that, after the record is made, it is brought into a position facing the customer. In the modified form shown in Fig. 5, strips k extending across the whole of the tubes are marked or perforated by arms o depending from the coin slides. The strip is fed at each insertion by the action of the arms o on the universal bar p. The items are separated by an additional feed-motion produced by the closing of the Baps, and the same movement actuates suitable numbering-devices to impress the same number on the two strips. One of the strips may be extended to receive the signature of the assistant. It is 'stated in the Provisional Specification that suitable adding or printing apparatus may be added.

Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 15,951. Mather & Platt, and Smith, D.P. Aug. 4. Endless chain conveyers with articles hung on rods; carriers attaching to chains; discharging devices.- In apparatus for treating fabrics, the endless chains are so constructed that every contiguous pair of links ; thereof can catch a fabric-carrying roller and so. obviate the risk of dropping. Means are also provided for lifting the rollers on to the fixed rails at. the upper part of the apparatus along which they are traversed when carrying the fabric. The links 3 of the chain 1, which is carried and driven by sprocket-wheels 2, Fig. 1, each have a projection 4 of the shape shown, Fig. 3, so that while the chains are straight the loose rollers 5 are held securely. As, however, the chain bends where it passes over the sprocket-wheels 2 at L, the projections 4 separate and any roller in that part of the chain is lifted out by the inclined teeth 9 of two wheels 8, placed on the same axle 10 as that of the sprocketwheels 2 at L and carried on to an inner pair of fixed rails 7 which support the bodies of the rollers 5. Cams 11, attached at the ends of the same axle 10, strike against levers 12, each provided with a counterweight 13 to effect its return, at each revolution. The lower end of the lever 12 strikes against the last roller lifted on to the rails 7, pushes it forward so that it rests by means of collars 5<A> on an outer pair of rails 7<A> at a slightly lower level, and by so doing pushes forward the whole line and sends the front roller on the other side R forward on to the projections 4, between two of which it drops as the chains 1 bend to pass over the sprocket-wheel 2 at R.. Guide-plates 6, 6<A> are provided to prevent the rollers from falling out as the chains pass over the sprocket-wheels 2.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Automatic Emergency Cut-off Valves
Inventor: SEYBOTH FREIDRICH WILHELM
Filed: 1906-02-05
Granted: 1906-04-12
Abstract: 2772. Seyboth, F. W., and Baumann, E. K. A., [trading as Konstruktionsburo Zwickau Seyboth, Baumann, & Co.]. Feb. 5. Valves closing with rush of fluid; lift valves.- Relates to emergency cut-off valves which close by the rush of fluid when a pipe breaks. Fig. 4 shows a construction for the pipes leading from a steam boiler. The valve s, which is shown of the lift type, is formed with, and balanced by means of, a hollow cylindrical stem working in an axial cylindrical guide d, the annular snace x communicating by passages w, t with the discharge side of the valve. The valve falls by gravity and just floats freely in the steam current during the normal consumption. Should the pipe break, the valve is closed by the action of the escaping steam on the underside of the valve. The steam or water in the annular space x acts as a buffer so that the valve is closed gently. To close the valve by hand, the three-way cock v is turned to discharge the annular space x into the atmosphere, the valve then closing by the steam pressure on the underside. To open the valve again, the pressure and discharge sides of the valve are put into communication through the passages t, y and the valve z. Fig. 2 shows a "corner" valve for hydraulic conduits, which is adapted to close by a back rush of water should the pipe on the supply side break. The valve may be closed by hand by turning the three-way cock g so as to discharge the space x into the atmosphere. By closing the passage b from the pipe f on the inlet side, or by dispensing with the three-way cock and passages, the valve may be utilized as a relief valve for hydraulic conduits. In one modification, the inlet and outlet of the valve are in a straight line, and in another modification the fluid passes through the valve instead of round the outside.
