Title: Operating Mechanism for Cash Distributors.
Inventor: JAPY ALBERT PAUL

Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 248. Japy, A. P. Jan. 7, 1911, [Convention date]. Money-delivering apparatus.-Relates to mechanism for actuating the slides by which coins are released from storage tubes, and is particularly applicable to change-giving in cashregisters. The slides 30, Fig. 5, at the bottom of the coin-tubes 31, are actuated by push-rods 23 which receive their motions through connecting-rods 22 from a rock-shaft 17. The shaft 17 is rocked each time monev is to be delivered, and the slides 30 to be actuated are selected by cams 41 on a shaft 40. When the projection 41 is placed opposite the nose 34<a> of a lever 34 pivoted at 37, as shown in Fig. 5, the rod 22 pivots at 22<a> on the back of the lever 34, and the corresponding slide 30 is actuated on the shaft 17 being rocked. If, however, the cam 41 is placed as shown in Fig. 4, the push-rod 23 is locked by the engagement of the end 34<b> of the lever 34 with the nose 24, thus preventing accidental operation of the slide. The shaft 17 is rocked in the following manner. A shaft 5, Figs. 1 and 2, is rotated by a handle 6 at the end of the apparatus, and rotates a drum 8 by gearing 7. A toothed disk 9 attached to the drum 8 drives a pinion 10 to which is attached a bar 11 communicating a rocking motion to a link 13 pivoted to the frame at 14. A connecting-rod 15 transmits the motion of the link 13 to a crank 16 on the shaft 17, and so rocks this shaft. As it may be necessary to perform on the cash register operations which do not necessitate money-delivering, the shaft 17 may be put out of action by raising the end 46 of the rod 15 in a slot in the link 13 to a point near the pivot 14. To this end, the part 46 is connected to a sector 48 which may be rotated by a toothed disk 50. This disk is rotated by a pinion 51 which is actuated by an arm 53 having a spring bolt 54 adapted to engage in holes 56 in a dial 55 on the exterior of the machine. The shaft 17 has keyed to it a number of sectors 20, slotted to receive a longitudinal rod 21, Fig. 1, on which the bars 22 are mounted. The levers 34 are connected to the sectors 20 bv rods 39<a> which have a bar 39 running through the recesses 35<1> of all the levers 34. Springs 36 press the bar 39 into the recesses. A stop-bar 57 and a guide-bar 26 are provided for the bars 22, 23 respectively. The cams 41 are loosely mounted on the shaft 40, and may be selected and rotated into their operative position in any suitable manner. Fig. 8 shows a development of the cam for actuating the slides of the franc tubes, the projections 41 being shaded. In operation, for example if the region C, D is opposite the nose 34<a>, slides corresponding to the parts 68, 69 and 70 will be actuated, and coins of 2 fr., 2 fr., and 5 fr. will be ejected.

Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 4318. Knight, E. M. Feb. 21. Bag filters; filters, air supply for.- A filterelement B, Fig. 2, having fibrous filter pads or films 14 on either face is secured in position within a casing A by means of a screw device H, Fig. 1, operated from outside the casing, which is fitted with a cover C so that the element can be readily removed. The element is provided with feet D, E which rest in sockets in the casing. The liquid is supplied to the casing through a pipe K, and the foot D is hollow to form a connexion from the interior of the element to the outlet pipe J for the filtered liquid. An outlet L is provided for unfiltered liquid. The frame of the element comprises a peripheral ring 10 and perforated radial and circular ribs 12, and the pads 14 are held on screens 13 by flange rings 15 secured in position by a belt 16 which embraces the frame. Air enters, or is discharged from, the element through a screw H, Fig. 5, which is hollow and provided with a screw-cap 22. The inner end of the screw presses on a tubular valve 20 closing on a valve seat 21, from which it can be raised to allow air to escape from the outer casing. Two or more elements may be placed in a single casing. A modified form of element is shown provided with only one foot D, which is hollow to serve as an outlet.

Granted: 1912-12-19
Abstract: 6690. Rostin, H. P. March 18. Lighting burners by frictional devices.-The gassupply cock 3 of a gas-fire or other burner apparatus and the gas-igniting apparatus 1, preferably that described in Specification 9651/11, are operated simultaneously by a handle 17 and spindle 14 made sufficiently long to obviate stooping. The spindle 14 is carried in brackets 16 fixed to the gas-fire casing 6 and terminates in a crossbar 18 which is forked at the ends 19 to engage a lever 10 on the gas-cock. The lever 10 has a projection engaging the gas-igniter. A spring 20 on the spindle 14 rotates the gas-cock 3 backwards through a short distance, after the operating-handle 17 is released, in order to shut off the supply of gas to the by-pass lighting-tube 7, 8.

Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 6954. Bertram & Son, J., [Raitt, W.]. March 21. Breaking and scutching apparatus.-In preparing bamboo stems for the digestors in the manufacture of paper pulp without removing the nodes, the stems are fed along a table E to a series of pairs of smooth crushing-rolls A, B and fluted rolls C, all travelling at the same speed, and through a pair of smaller fluted rolls D rotating at a greater speed, and mounted close to the nip of the rolls C. The rolls A, B, C successively flatten out and crack the bamboo, make the nodes or knots unrecognisable, and separate the fibres from hard ligneous matter, and the rolls D tear the fibres apart. A partition is fitted on the table E, and the thicker stems may be split and fed to the rolls along separate channels, or two small bamboo stems may be treated at one time. Instead of the pair of rolls D, one fluted roll may be'used, the rolls C or the lower one only being smooth, and the roll D pressing upon the latter.
