Abstract: 1374. Stephan, S., [Pottin, H.]. Jan. 24. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Tickets, issuing; counting-apparatus.-Relates to an apparatus for printing, numbering, and cutting tickets. for theatres and the like from a continuous paper strip. A number of the apparatus are arranged side by side beneath a table a, Fig. 1, and through them all passes a continuously-rotating shaft b. Each apparatus has a pinion n, loose on the shaft b, which may be moved into engagement with a driver m on the shaft by means of a lever o actuated by a hand-lever p. After making one revolution, the pinion n is disengaged from the shaft by the action of a lever r, which is connected by a link s with the lever o. The other end of the lever r carries a roller, which rests between two ribs on a cam q fixed to the shaft b, At one point the roller passes an interruption in one of the ribs of the cam q, through which it moves outwards under the action of a spring u. The levur o is thus actuated and the pinion n unlocked from the shaft. The lever o is held in either direction by a piece w having two inclined faces which engage a roller y on the lever o. The pinion n gears with a pinion z carrying a cam 1 and a toothed sector 2. The cam 1 acts successively on a lever 3, which lifts the platen f on a lever 5 which actuates the numbering-wheels d, and on a lever 8 which is connected by a rod 10 with a knife i, which co-operates with a fixed knife j to sever the tickets. The sector 2 gears with a pinion on one of the feed-rolls g which is geared to the other feed-roll h. The roll h is carried by an elbow lever 13 and is pressed against the roll g by a spring 14. The paper strip c is wound on a roll, on which it is guided by lateral and transverse rollers. The numbering- rolls d are advanced by one digit at each operation of the lever 5. Marking-rolls e, adjusted by hand, are mounted alongside the rolls d. A projection 7 on the lever 5 acts, as on a pair of spring contacts 15, to close an electric circuit to actuate an indicator, consisting of a ratchet-wheel upon which acts a pawl connected with the armature of an electro-magnet 19. To the ratchet-wheel is secured a number disk having a tenon, which at each revolution moves forward a second number disk. The number registered is visible through a slit in a cover. To enable the number disks to be brought back to zero, a branch circuit is provided containing a switch 27 and a commutator 28. The commutator is placed in circuit with one of the magnets 19, and contact is made and broken as many times as necessary by means of the switch. The paper strip may be printed beforehand with the name of the theatre &c., and may be provided with transverse perforations dividing each ticket into several parts.

Title: New or Improved Machinery or Apparatus for Splitting or Kippering Fish.
Inventor: BURWOOD GEORGE VEMPLY
Filed: 1905-11-24
Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 24,301. Burwood, G. V., and Clarke, F. D. Nov. 24. Preserving fish.- In a machine for splitting fish, grips, carried by a rotating ring of plates, automatically close on the fish, previously to their being carried beneath a press where they meet a rotating knife ; afterwards, the grips are opened automatically to enable a claw to remove the split fish to a conveyer belt. Fig. 1 shows a vertical section of the apparatus, Fig. 3 a grip carrier, Fig. 7 the spring press, and Fig. 8 the splitting- mechanism. An intermittent motion round the central table 9 is given to the ring of grip-carriers 18, by a ratchet 25 carried by arms 13 radiating from the hub 12, and a pawl 27, actuated by the wheel 29 geared to the shaft 3. The grips consist of serrated plates 35, 39, of which the upper is mounted on a bar 40 carrying a friction roller 42 which co-operates with bars 50, 51 fixed to the table 9 to open and close the grips at intervals. The press consists of a series of spring-mounted serrated plates 53 which, under the operation of springs carried by the frame 55, 58, tend to close on the fish beneath, but are raised after each cutting by the eccentric stud 64 on the wheel 65. The splitting-mechanism comprises a pair of sprocket-wheels 74, 75, mounted on a bed-plate 72, cne of which is geared to a shaft 78 and so to the shafts 87, 22 and to the main shaft. A chain, gearing with the sprocket - wheels, carries the knives 91, 92, and is caused to describe an elliptical path by suitable guides, the knives entering a slot 70 in the plate 69 in their path. The knives mav receive an additional axial rotation from a shaft 95 through the gearing 106, 105, &c. The removing-mechanism consists of a claw 120 attached to a rod 119 pivoted to bars 117 which are caused to slide in and out by means of an eccentric stud 132 on the wheel 130. The driving- bevel gears with the bevel portion of a wheel the edge of which gears with the wheel 29. As the rod 119 rests on a fixed roller 122, the horizontal motion of the bars 117 gives the claw vertical movement simultaneously, so enabling it to remove the split fish on to the conveyer belt 135. In practice, there are a number of groups of cutting and removing mechanism arranged round the table 9 and driven from the main shaft 3 by radial shafts 22.
