Title: Improvements relating to Cash Registering Tills.
Inventor: MITCHELL ALBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1902-09-02
Granted: 1903-07-23
Abstract: 19,217. Mitchell, A. E. Sept. 2., Receipts, checking and recording. - A cashregistering till of the type in which the cash drawer is automatically opened on the depression of any one of the figured keys, having indicating and recording mechanism automatically operated by the movement of the drawer, is shown in plan in Fig. 5, and in section on the line X-X<1> in Fig. 8. The revoluble indicator barrels or spindles A, A<1> carry the indicating or display discs C, C', and have spirally-disposed stops a, a' for engaging the abutments of the operating-keys S, S'. The recorder E on the pence spindle A is preferably operated during the inward movement of the drawer B, while the recorder E' on the shillings spindle A<1> is operated on the outward movement. Each recorder is actuated through pawl-and-ratchet mechanism e', e and e<3>, e<1>, and excessive movement is prevented by the sliding clutches F, F<1> operated from the rocking-pin G arranged in conjunction with the drawer B and the display discs C, C<1>. The pence recorder transfers to the shillings recorder through the cam H and the bar H<1>, while the shillings recorder transfers to the poundsrecording disc J through a cam J' and a lever. Motion is transmitted to the spindles A, A' from the driving-barrels K, K. Each barrel K has a helical groove of long pitch on its surface, and, within, a coiled spring by which it is rotated on the outward movement of the drawer. The drawer is moved outwards by springs, and is retained in the closed position by pivoted catchlevers M, M'. A rack-and-pawl device ensures that the drawer is opened or closed completely before reversal in movement can take place. When the drawer is opening, the peg o of the rocking-bar 0 is raised by engagement with a slot in the side of the drawer, the pawls of the ratchetdiscs P, P<1> are disengaged, and the discs are free to rotate with the indicator spindles. The ratchetdiscs P, P' are connected by bolts with finger pieces fixed to the indicator spindles. Each operating-key S, S<1> operates the pawl-piece D, D<1> and the pivoted plate T or T<1>, whereby the drawer catch pieces M, M<1> are released. Pawl-like stops prevent movement of the spindles A, A<1> after the drawer is closed, and are released by the pivot plates T, T'. A dummy or blank key provides for the opening of the cash drawer for clearance or change. Projecting arms V having pegs to enter the barrel slots are provided upon the hinged trip bars U, U<1>, which prevent the return of the abutments until the return of the cash drawer.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Tool Holders for Machine Tools
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1903-10-09
Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 21,772. Boult, A. J., [Strehlau, R.]. Oct. 9. Planing; tool - holders. -A tool-holder for planing and slotting machines is pivoted in the tool-box so that it may be rocked to allow one or more of the tools secured in it to cut during each stroke. The holder is rocked by electromagnets, the circuits of which are completed at the ends of the stroke by some reciprocating part of the machine. In the case of a planing-machine, in which the holder n is arranged vertically, two magnets are used which are excited alternately to draw the holder against one side of the recess in the tool-box l in which the holder is pivoted. The idle tool is held clear of the work. In a slotting-machine the holder is horizontal, and the lower magnet may then be replaced by a spring. A hollow cylinder may be planed by mounting the tool-holder on a bar of suitable length and rotating the cylinder, the holder being rocked whether vertical, horizontal, or inclined.

Abstract: 23,809. Robinson, H. Nov. 3. Steam &c. turbines.-Fig. 1 shows means for generating fluid pressure for driving steam, air, and gas turbines, or other heat engines. Steam, combustible-vapour, or both, generated by heating the coil G supplied with water, oil, or both, has its velocity increased by passing through a diverging conical mouth E, and injects air into the combustion chamber C which is lined with some fire - resisting material. The induction opening A is conical, and may diverge outwardly or inwardly, or may be doubly coned. The gas, petroleum, or powdered or other fuel may be supplied to the chamber separately when water is used The combustion chamber is first heated by directing into a suitable aperture a blow lamp, or by heating the entrance A. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the vapour of a volatile liquid mixes with the air previous to its injection into the chamber. The coil G may be heated by the chamber C, or an external agent H or both. Steam may also be separately injected into the chamber C to modify its temperature and increase the pressure.

Air, drawing-off, methods of; shafts.-The ventilation of flax &c. mills is promoted by means of suction appliances connected to the machines to remove the dust &c. and thereby cause a current of air to enter the building by the ordinary inlets. Figs. 1, 3 and 4 show the invention applied to carding-engines. The dust &c. falls on to the conveyer band C and is carried to the nozzle D, which is attached to and extends across the casing B and through which a powerful draught is induced by a fan F, thence the dust passes to the shaft E, being finally discharged into a separator such as that described in Specification No. 4612, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Air and gases, Compressing &c.], or into the open air. The nozzle D is of uniform cross-sectional area, and the shaft E is widened at each succeeding junction with a nozzle. Fig. 4 shows the nozzles D<1>, D<8> separate from the casing and placed in the dust-emitting area of the machine. The nozzle D' is shown fitted with a cowl D' Fig. 7 represents a heckling-machine in which the suction nozzles are in close proximity to the fibre operated upon, and may be duplicated and arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the fibre. Fig. 11 shows the form of the suction nozzle. Any one machine may be cut out of the system by valves, and the separator may be dispensed with if desired.

Abstract: 26,500. Pugh, J. Dec. 5. Medical treatment, special methods of.-Persons suffering from consumption and like diseases are treated with air derived from the upper regions of the atmosphere by means of a tube supported by balloons. The balloons are made of aluminium, and all, except the topmost, are formed with a central tube through which passes an aluminium-bronze cable and an air tube made of tempered aluminium. The air tube consists of corrugated sections soldered together. Its upper end is protected with wire gauze and is formed with a hood. The cable is strongest at the part nearest the earth, and supports the air tube by means of aluminium bands arranged at intervals. The balloons are placed at intervals of about a quarter of a mile, and are each surrounded by an aluminium netting terminating in a ring to which the cable is attached. The balloons are inflated with hydrogen and are replenished when necessary by means of a captive balloon. The end of the air tube is formed of deeply corrugated aluminium so that it is flexible. The building in which the treatment is carried out is airtight and formed with double doors. A fan, feeds the air into the top of the building, and another fan exhausts the air through gratings in the floor. If the building is divided into rooms, the air and exhaust pipes suitably valved are laid on to each room. A staging for the erection of the tube and balloons is also described.
