Abstract: 29,283. Kainer, F. C. March 17, [Convention date]. Sale apparatus; casings. - Cigars are delivered from an ordinary cigarbox b, from which one side has been removed, a n d which rests on a plate 13 in the base of the apparatus, the cigars being v i e w e d t h r o u g h glass panels g. D e l i v e r y mechanism.-A lever 51 having been tilted by prepayment into the position shown in dotted lines,' the actuating spring motor is.freed and rotates a screwed spindle 25, thereby causing a carriage 23 to travel along a guide rod 24 owing to the engagement of a shoe 26 with the screw-thread. A plate 22 pivoted to the carriage moves the cigars down a slope 34 to a recessed delivery roller 32, which is also rotated by the motor. A roller 36 rotated in the same direction as the roller 32 prevents jamming of the cigars. A projection 76, Fig. 4, on a slide 70 operated by an eccentric e turns a pivoted latch 78 into engagement. with the lever 51 to retain it in the inoperative position after the coin has been discharged. As the cigar is being delivered by the roller 32 it engages the arm 82 of a weighted bell-crank 80, thereby tripping the latch 78 and freeing the lever 51. A dog 70<a> on the slide 70 prevents the return of the lever 51 before the slide has completed its movement. The motor is wound by turning the squared end 48 of the screwed spindle 25 by means of a special key, the carriage 23 traversing the screw in the reverse direction. Coin action.-The coin falls into a pan 53 and tilts the counterweighted lever 51 so as to remove a pin 46, Fig. 4, on the lever from the fly 43 of the motor. Exhibiting coins.-A pin 75 on the slide 70 pushes the coin from the pan 53 into a display track 64 in which it is retained by a pawl 67 released by hand or by the weight of the succeeding coins. Registering.-As it enters the track the coin rocks the arm 90 of a lever 88 and operates a register 86, the lever being restored to the normal position by the engagement of a projection 77, Fig. 4, on the slide 70 with the arm 89. Fraud, preventing.-A magnet 56 diverts iron disks into a side shoot 58. Small coins pass. through a gauging aperture in a pivoted counterweighted frame 60 which turns on its pivot to allow a coin of correct weight to pass to the pan 53. A pawl 83 holds up a second coin until the frame has returned to 'its normal position.

Abstract: 10,335. Buchanan, J. L., and Tyrell, J. G. April 27. Fats and fatty oils, extracting from palm nuts &c. Palm nuts and other nuts, seeds, or fruit having an oil or fat bearing pericarp are deprived of their outer covering by agitating in a cylinder composed of parallel bars 1, Fig. 1, pivoted so that their sharpened edges may be adjusted to project more or less into the cylinder. The bars preferably have a triangular cross-section, each edge forming a knife which may be plain or serrated. Vanes 16 attached to a central shaft agitate the nuts and are curved to move them forward, preferably more rapidly at the circumference than near the centre. The shaft and vanes may be hollow and perforated for the introduction of steam if the nuts have not been previously cooked. Additional supports 60 for the bars and the shaft may be provided mid-way along the drum or at other suitable points. The nuts &c. are fed into the drum by a hopper 27 and conveyer blades 26, and the kernels are discharged by a laterally oblique opening 38 and shoot 33. A second opening 37 in the end-plate, closed by a lid 39, is provided for cleaning out the drum, a lid 7, provided with handles 9 and secured by bolts hinged to lugs 23, being removed for the purpose. The drum is surrounded by a casing which confines the steam, when used, and directs the pericarp from the drum into hoppers leading to a steam-jacketed worm-conveyer 19. The kernels pass into a rectangular or polygonal screen 34, Fig. 5, rotated by a toothed wheel 54. The screen consists of an angle - iron frame mounted on a shaft by means of stays 47 screwed into the collar 48, the end bars 43 having clamping-plates 44 and nuts 45, which grip the ends of longitudinal wires 40 or of wire netting with a long mesh. Any remaining flesh is removed from the kernels by this screen and falls into a hopper and the conveyer 19, while the kernels are discharged at one side by a shoot 53. Steam or hot water may be introduced through the shaft. The material is delivered to an elevator which may be formed of wire mesh fitted with compressing rollers to extract the oil.

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 23,831. Soc. Anon. "Phi." Aug. 6, [Convention date]. Electro - magnetic switches. - Relates to an electro-magnet for make-and-break switches &c., the armature c of which is arranged to take up two positions under the influence of small differences of voltage &c., one position when attracted by but not in magnetic contact with the core a, and the other, when released and held against a stop i. The invention consists in automatically switching a resistance e into series with the winding b when the armature moves into the attracted position, the amount of this resistance being calculated so as to compensate exactly for the difference in the reluctance of the magnetic circuit when the armature is in its two positions. The Figure shows the application of the invention to a switch in which the main circuit d is made and broken at the contacts F, F', and a shunt circuit about the resistance e is opened and closed at the contacts f, f<1>. The armature is prevented from coming into contact with the core by non-magnetic plates 1. The switch contacts produce a rubbing action between their faces and comprise elements F, f mounted on elastic strips g and adjustable by insulated stop-screws h.
