Title: Improvements in and relating to Brake Systems.
Filed: 1905-03-08
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 4879. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 8. Switches.-In an electricallycontrolled pneumatic-pressure brake system, operated on the multiple-unit system, the trainwires 1, 2, 3, 4 are connected, on each car, to motor controllers C, C<1>. Stationary contacts c<1>, c<2>, c<3>, with the corresponding movable contacts indicated on their left, represent the usual portion of the controller for operating the motor circuit in conjunction with the train-wires 1, 2. A contact c' is connected to the braking train-line 3, a contact c<6> to one pole of a battery D, the other pole of which is earthed, and a contact c<5> to an intermediate terminal of the battery. When the handle of the motor controller is in the ' off' position, the brakes are applied. The handle is returned to this position by a spring whenever it is released by the motorman When the controller is moved to the position indicated by the dotted line 1<x>, contacts c<4>, c<5> are connected, and a portion of the voltage of the battery D is applied to the train-line 3, moving the distributing-valve of the air-pressure brake system to ' lap ' position. When the controller is moved to the position 2<x>, contacts c<4>, c<5> are disconnected, and the battery circuit is closed through contents c<4>, c<6>, so that the whole voltage of the battery is impressed upon the train-line 3, and the distributing-valve is moved to ' release ' position. The contacts c<4>, c<6> remain connected as the controller is moved to the positions 3<x>, 4<x> to operate the motor circuit, so that the brake is maintained off.

Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 18,770. Kershaw, J. W. Aug. 22. Tills.-A cash-registering till records receipts by puncturing a paper strip in columns according to the value, the strip feed and recording points being operated by the motion of an assistant's drawer which has a permutation hand-lever-operated lock and also rotates a series of hinged pockets which take the receipts, inserted through a slot, and empty them into a second (proprietor's) drawer, means being fitted for unlocking the assistant's drawer accessible when the other is opened. The record strip 15, Fig. 3, passes over a slotted bar 29 and the feed-roller 22, against which it is pressed by a roller 24 journaled in pivoted spring- pressed links 26, which also carry a serrated bar 28 to facilitate tearing off the strip when required. The perforating-points 14<a> are carried by arms 14, to which the pointers 14<b> are pivoted and which are moved along a rocking shaft 13 till the purchase value is indicated on a scale 17 carried between glass plates 18 on top of the machine. The strip feed and recording points are operated by the action of a spring 40, Fig. 4, which actuates a lever 35 when the drawer on opening allows the latter to travel forward, the arm 51 rocking the recording-shaft 13, the arm 42, the strip-feed ratchet, and the arm 35<a> sounding the bell 49. The money, received directly or taken from change obtained from the assistant's drawer 1, Fig. 2, is dropped in a slot 11, Fig. 3, and falls into one of a series of felt or otherwise lined metal pockets. These pockets are pivoted on! arms 8 on a sleeve 9 and adapted to be advanced one step at a time by a pawl 52 on a slide 54 actuated by a spring 55 when the opening of the drawer allows the end 54<a> of the slide to come forward, a gravity stop plate 56 for holding the arms being simultaneously allowed to drop. The pockets 7 pass over an opening 12 in the plate 3 and discharge the receipts into the proprietor's drawer. The lock for the assistant's drawer consists of a number of bellcrank levers 62, 62<a>, pivoted on the spindle 63 and having pawls 64 and notches 69 in which rest pins 68 on the locking-pawls 67, which engage an aperture 71 in the casing through a coincident aperture 70 in the drawer. If a number of the locking-pawls 67 are raised and set so as to rest on a bar 72 carried in brackets in the drawer 1, the levers 62 of the other pawls must be operated to lift them out of engagement so as to open the drawer. If any of the levers 62 corresponding to the raised pawls 67 are raised, the pawls 64 previously held up by the ledge 66 on the drawer drop and engage the casing, these pawls having been set on the ledge 66 when the locking-pawls 67 were set. An extension 63<a> of the spindle 63 passes under the pawls 67 and can be raised to unlock the drawer 1 when the proprietor's drawer is open.
