Title: Improvements in Permutation-locks.
Inventor: DESCALLES EUGENE MAURICE OCTAV
IPC: E05B37/10
Filed: 1910-04-22
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 9878. Descalles, E. M. O. June 21, 1909, [Convention date]. Locks, permutation; padlocks. - Relates to permutation mechanism of the type comprising two interengaging sets of disks, one set c forming the locking-means and being operable by the other set b, actuated by a to-and-fro movement of the knob. The mechanism is shown applied to a Scandinavian padlock. The long limb of the shackle is loosely connected to the free end of a lever k, a projection k<1> on which works in a slot j<1> in the pivot pin of the disks c, and prevents the movement of the lever necessary for the release of the shackle until the disks are set to bring their notches c<1> into line with the slot in the pivot. The disks c are carried by a spring-controlled lever h', pivoted in the casing. When set to the releasing positions, the disks can be moved out of engagement with the disks b, to enable the combination to be changed, by means of a conical pin inserted through a hole a' in the casing, and acting on the plate h'. The disks b are under the control of pawls f, which allow motion in either direction, with the exception that the last disk b<4> is provided with a narrow tooth b
 which stops the disk when moving in a clockwise direction, this providing the zero point from which the combinations are counted. The disks b<2>, b<3>, b<4> are mounted loosely on the handle spindle d, and are provided with slots p, q, r respectively, for engagement with a lever e, pivoted within the spindle. In setting the disks, the handle is turned clockwise until the lever e engages and turns all the disks, and until the zero point is reached. From the zero point, the numbers of the combination are counted by the clicks of the pawls f. During the to-and-fro movement of the knob, the disks are successively disengaged from the lever e and left at their correct positions by means of inclines p<1>, r<1>, q<1> on the disks b<2>, b<3>, b<4> respectively, which inclines act in turn on the lever e at the moment of reversing the motion of the handle; the disk b<2> during the first movement of the handle is held stationary until the shoulder p<3> is reached, to enable the incline p<1> to release the lever e from the slot r of the disk b<4>. When turning the handle to move the disks into the zero position, a pin u, carried by, and capable of moving transversely through the disk b<2>, is adapted to be pressed by a lug t on the disk b<1> into a notch v in the disk b<3>. This movement couples the two disks b<2>, b<3>, with their slots p, q in alinement with the slot of the disk b<1>, and enables the lever e to drop into the slots of the disks.

Abstract: 9447. Wegner, H. April 16, 1910, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Vacuum apparatus; bucket elevator apparatus.-An apparatus for emptying gullies, mud-collecting chambers, &c. after the quantity of liquid removable by suction has been removed, consists of an air-tight chamber 1 which is introduced into the pit. As the receptacle descends, a certain amount of the muddy liquid is displaced and may be removed by suction. For the purpose of removing the residue, the vessel 1 is exhausted and the residue drawn into it, whereupon the vessel is raised to such a height that the mud may be removed by suction. The receptacle 1 is divided into two compartments by means of a partition 10 provided with a valve 11. In one of these is a suction pipe 2 which opens into a valve casing 3. A flap valve 4, arranged to open and close the openings 5 and 6 alternately, is operated by a rod 8. When the receptacle is lowered into the pit, the flap valve 4 is forced on to its seat 5, and the pipe 2 is connected to suction, and as much mud as possible is removed. The valve 11 is then placed in mid position and the pipe 16 connected to suction, so that the mud left in the pit is drawn into the receptacle 1. The flap 4 is now brought against the seating 6, the air valve 14 is opened, and the vessel is slowly raised out of the pit by means of a screw 20 or of a crane attached to the rings 18, and at the same time the pipe 2 is connected to suction. The partition 10 enables the right-hand chamber to be used independently of the other if necessary. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the arrangement of a lift, lift bucket, and guide-rails, and a crane for supporting and lowering a plungerlike liquid receptacle provided with a number of inlet and outlet openings at different heights and containing a manhole in its wall in combination with delivery hose leading from the gully. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1911-10-17
Abstract: 22,875. Wied, J. V., and Vestesen, H. Oct. 17. Mechanical stoking.- The reciprocating piston of a mechanical stoker is driven by an electric motor through a crank which actuates, during its rotation, the piston of a dash - pot. This controls the m o t o r switch and so determines the period of rest of the feeding piston. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the crank d is rotated by the motor m through the worm gearing n, and reciprocates the feeding piston in the cylinder b by means of a connecting - rod. During its rotation the crank operates the bell - crank lever t, which by means of a connecting - rod v and arm w rotates the pin r and raises the weighted lever x, and with it the piston of the dash-pot z. On reaching the bell-crank lever u. the crank d causes it to raise the spring-controlled rod 7, which operates the arm 8 and causes the projection 9 upon it to move the switch-member s and break the motor circuit, the parts being so arranged that the motor comes to rest with the feeding piston at the outer end of its stroke. The arm 8 with its projection 9 returns to its initial position under the action of the spring 6, and when the piston of the dash-pot reaches the lower end of its stroke the projection 4 on the arm w moves the switch-member s back, so that contact is again made. and the cycle repeated.
