IPC: G01F17/00
Filed: 1912-05-04
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 10,585. Davenport, J. A. May 4. Measuring cubical contents.-Apparatus for testing the porosity or voids in solid material consists of two vessels, one of which 3 has a fixed volume mark 6 to which the material to be tested is filled in. Water or other suitable liquid is then added from a vessel 7, full of water, to a level above the mark 6, after which the liquid is run off into the vessel 7 which has a volume scale 9 reading from the top. The volume to overflowing of the vessel 7 is equal to the volume of the vessel 3 to the mark 6, and on running off the liquid till it stands just at the mark 6, the volume of the voids or pores is read off directly on the scale 9. Instead of a mark 6 an overflow stopcock may be employed. A stand is provided for facilitating the use of the vessels. Instead of the vessel 7, a vessel 10 may be used having overflow and outflow stopcocks and a gauge-glass reading downwards.

Granted: 1913-12-29
Abstract: 27,375. Lanchester, F. W. Nov. 28. Starting.-A switch in the circuit of an electric motor used to turn an internal-combustion engine cannot be closed until the levers normally used to control the ignition and carburettor throttle are moved to the ignition-retarding and throttle-closing position.

Granted: 1913-12-15
Abstract: 28,836. Coursin, E. P. F. A. Dec. 18, 1911, [Convention date] Sighting - devices. -A sighting-device for use on air-ships & c., to facilitate the launching of projectiles, is controlled automatically by speed, wind and altitude indicators. A lever 46 is inclined proportionately to t h e speed of the ship, the movement being transmitted to the member 27 of a differential device on the shaft 23, to .an extent depending also on the altitude, a barometer 93 acting to turn an arm 56 out of alinement with the lever 46 and moving a pin along a quadrant 53 as the height increases. Similarly, the reading of an anemometer is transmitted from the shaft 68 to the loose pinions 30 of the differential, this reading being also modified in the same way for altitude. The motion of the shaft 23 is transmitted to the telescope 1 through mechanism similarly modified by a barometer.
Patent GB-191300437-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Coin Selectors for use in connection with Coin-freed Apparatus.
Inventor: BULLARD HERBERT AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1913-01-07
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 437. Bullard, H. A. Jan. 7. Testing coins. - Relates to coin-selectors for use with coin-freed apparatus, of the type in which the coins are gauged by means of callipering members capable of horizontal reciprocatory motion within guides, for the purpose of rejecting flat disks or badly worn coins, and consists more particularly in modifying the apparatus described in Specification 17,736/10 by dispensing with the electrical arrangements and by making the apparatus purely mechanical. The coin inserted in a slot 2 is supported inside a casing 5 between two callipering-members M, M' comprising outer plungers 9, 10 guided in the casing 5 and provided with inner plungers 7, 8 and 7<1>, 8<1> respectively, these plungers being provided with projections for engaging raised and depressed parts of the surface of a coin C, as shown in Fig. 5. The plungers of the callipering- members are connected together by rods 13, 13<1> so as to permit a limited independent movement of the inner plungers. Spring-controlled levers 18, Figs. 4 and 5, pivoted to the plunger 9 of the member M are adapted to engage by means of shoulders a the extremities of similarly spring-controlled levers 18' pivoted to the casing of the apparatus at the rear of the member M', and thus to limit the inward movement of the members. If, however, a suitable coin has been inserted, when the operator presses in the plunger 9, the inner plungers 7, 8 are moved rearwards, as shown in Fig. 5, and rock levers 22, 22<1> respectively, these levers moving the stop levers 18 apart by engaging adjustable pins 25 so as to permit the members M, M' to move inwards until a projection 28 on a spring arm 28<1>, Fig. 2, engages a notch 32 in the plunger 10. In this position of the parts, the coin is supported above a slot 4 in the guide 5, and, when the operator releases the plunger 9, it falls through the slot into the apparatus. In the case of a flat disk D, there is no inward movement of the plungers 7, 8, so that the levers 18, 18<1> engage, as shown in Fig. 4, and the coin falls through a slot 3 leading to an external tray, the projection 28 engaging a notch 29 in the plunger 10, If the coin is inserted with its faces in the reverse position, the plungers 7<1>, 8<1> rock levers 24', 24 and move apart the levers 18'. To control the return of the callipering-members, the rods 13, 13<1> are connected by slotted levers 14, 14', Fig. 2, respectively to the plunger 17 and cylinder 16 of a dash-pot, and the spring arm 28<1> is connected to the lever 14.

Abstract: 1561. Walther, R. Jan. 20. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Seats, arrangement of.-An auxiliary seat for motor-cars is adapted, when not required for use, to be turned down by means of the hinged leg z and to be received into a cavity in the front wall of the vehicle. The seat can be further adjusted to allow of the occupants facing in either direction. The leg z is hinged at t to turn down into a groove in the floor, and is retained in the upright position by a strong spring-piece u engaging the flattened bottom end of the leg. A plate w, hinged to the leg at w<2> and formed with a retaining- abutment w', covers in the groove when the leg is up. The rear legs g and back e are adapted to fold against the seat about hinges c, d.

Abstract: 6110. Fairweather, W., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. March 12. Sheet feeding and guiding arrangements; papershelves.-The sheets are formed with marginal perforations to engage a series of studs arranged adjacent to the platen and at right-angles to the printing line, the studs alining the sheets with respect to the printing line and also permitting a sheaf of sheets, such as an invoice and a condensed record sheet, to be initially adjusted with respect to each other so as to be fed round the platen with the required lines superpoeed. The studs may be used to feed the sheets and may replace the usual feed-roller mechanism. In the arrangement shown, the studs 12 are secured to endless bands 4, which pass round the reduced ends of the platen 2 and a roller 5 mounted in brackets 8 on the platencarriage 1. The bands are caused to travel at the same speed by the engagement of gears 6 on a shape 7 with the studs. The brackets 8 support a shelf or table 9 on the delivery side of the platen and an apron 10 on the feed side of the platen, the apron having curved ends 10<a>, 10<b> which extend partly round the roller 5 and the platen. In use, the sheet or sheets, such as invoices 20, 19 and a record 18, are laid on the table 9 and are fitted on one or both of the series of studs, and the platen is then rotated by multiplying-gearing 16, 17 to feed the sheets over the roller 5 and thence to the platen to bring the required line on the sheets to the printing line, the apron 10 preventing the sheets from dropping off the studs.
