Title: Improvements in Registering and Change Giving Machines.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1910-04-09
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 8636. Thompson, W. P., [Union Special Maschinenfabrik Ges.]. April 9. Money-delivering apparatus.-In a registering and change-giving machine, the ejectors are coupled with the common operating-mechanisms by coupling-members alternately brought into and out of engagement by " cash received " and " sales " keys, the coupling - members being linked to the ejectors. The machine is described for use with American coinage, and is provided with keys 2, 3 for dollars and cents received, and keys 4, 5 for the amount of sale in dollars and cents respectively. The keys are provided at their lower ends with bars 17, the number of teeth and arrangement of which corresponds to the value of the connected keys. The dollar bars actuate double-armed levers 18, 19, the keys 2 encountering the part 18 and keys 4 the part 19. The cents levers are single, and are moved in the same direction by both keys. The levers 18, 19 are connected to bell-crank levers 23, loose on a shaft 24, by pins 22 working in slots 25 therein, the pins of the dollars levers normally being in the lower position, and the cents keys in the upper one. The pins are retained in the end positions by notches 28 provided in a spring- pressed lever 26 loosely pivoted on the spindle 24. The bell-crank levers 23 are connected by links 29, 30 with ejectors 6, which throw the uppermost coins 7 from the tubes 8 into the common hopper 9. The operating-handle 31 is connected by links 33, 34 to a pin 35 in a guide 36, and when operated the pin depresses a common spindle 37 provided with projections 38 for each lever 23, which projections act on all pins 22 which remain or are placed at the upper end of the slots 25, to turn the levers 23 and operate the correspending ejectors. The handle 31 at the same time operates the registering- mechanism 11 through an arm 39, whereby the amounts of the receipt, sale, and change are shown at apertures 13, 14, 15 and printed,on the bands 12 by mechanism 16 in a known manner. For the case when the amount of the sale contains no cents, an additional key 40 is provided to throw the cents couplings out of action and to couple with an additional dollar ejector. Instead of a spindle 37 with projections 38, suitable projections may be provided on the bars 17 to effect the ejection, and in this case the ejecting-levers preferably turn directly on the shaft 24.

Title: Improvements in Water Heating and Measuring Apparatus.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: F22D3/00
Filed: 1911-03-22
Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 7177. Lake, W. E., [Jones, J. C.]. March 22. Indicators actuated by floats; indicators actuated by pressure of head of liquid.-In a combined feedwater-heater and weir-type meter, a float H moving in accordance with the water level in the compartment E' has a stem H' with a pen H<2> attached whereby a record of the level is obtained on the rotating drum I<1>. In cases where the pressure in the chamber E' exceeds atmosphere, compensating - devices are employed to correct the movement of the stem H<1>. Modifications are described in which the float of the recording-device is in a separate chamber. Figs. 14 and 15 illustrate apparatus in which the head of water is measured hydrostatically. A tube T extends into the compartment E<1> with its open end immersed to the level of the apex E<10> of the discharge notch. A pipe T' leads to the pressure chamber T<10> formed by a cupped portion T" closed by a diaphragm T<12>, of which the central portion T<15> bears against a lever T<30> pivoted to a piece T<24>. To compensate for the varying vapour pressure in the compartment E<1>, a pipe t<1> connects the compartment with a pressure chamber t<10> similar to T<10> and having a central portion t<15> bearing on the opposite side of the lever T<30>. The varying thrust on the lever T<30> is balanced automatically so as to prevent any substantial movement of the diaphragms. A spring U connects the lever T<30> to a tensionadjusting member U<1>, which is in the form of an apertured plate about a cam U<2>. Very slight movements of the lever T<30> to the left or right caused by the difference of pressure exerted by the diaphragms close electric circuits through contacts U<11>, U<12>, thereby actuating a motor U<6>, which moves the cam U<2> and plate U' and relieves or increases the tension of the spring U so that the lever moves out of engagement with the contacts. The tension of the spring changes proportionally to the head of water, and by giving the cam U<2> the proper contour the angular movement of the attached arm U<15> may indicate the flow.

Abstract: 12,576. Soc. des Etablissements Gaumont. May 28, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 9364/11, Class 13, Bells &c.] Pneumatic and microphonic sound-boxes.- The fluid-pressure relay in its modified form is, inter alia, applied for use in talking-machines. A stretched blade 4 integral with a frame 1 secured to the screw-plug 3 of the relay is in equilibrium when at a certain distance from the orifice, but any alteration in its position produces a variation of the quantity of fluid which issues, this variation effecting a corresponding variation in the position of the movable washer, and consequently of the quantity of fluid that flows through the main conduit. The frame is made of greater length than the diameter of the screw-plug so that the blade, when lifted by the compressed fluid, is completely out of contact with the plug, which may thereby be easily kept free from dust. In Fig. 5 the blade is connected to a pivoted pin or sapphire stylus 6. Parasitic vibrations, which might be set up owing to the tension of the blade, are deadened by a metal piece 9, Fig. 6, provided with pieces of india-rubber 10, which clip the end of the pin or stylus. Fig. 7 shows a magnetic blade 4 adapted to be drawn into contact with the countrsunk magnetic lips 12 of the orifice on energizing an electro-magnet.

Abstract: 13,400. Giglio, A. de. June 3. Kinematograph apparatus. - Comprises improved apparatus of the type in which the film has an intermittent alternate motion perpendicular to the length of the film, thereby obtaining a series of parallel horizontal rows of images. The apparatus is enclosed in the casing 1, carrying the objective 2 and the shutter 3, operated from the shaft 8 by gearing. The film-carrier is capable of sliding transversely on rods 12, and carries a bobbin 13. The film passes between the rollers 15, 15<1> past the focal plane, and is wound round the drums 16, 17 to the receiving-bobbin 18, the whole being actuated by the pulleys 19, 20. The drums and rollers may be toothed. The transverse intermittent alternating motion of the carrier is effected by means of a cam 29, having two helicoidal slots closed on themselves and connected by circular portions 29<1>. A pin 30 carried by the carrier engages the slots. To move the cam 29 intermittently, a toothed wheel 33 mounted on the same spindle 32 as the cam 29 is operated by the open cam 34 on the shaft 8. The displacement of the drum 16 at the end of each stroke for the purpose of commencing another line of photographs takes place by means of arms 39 mounted on the shaft 32. The arms 39 engage the toothed wheel 4 and cause the required rotation, against the action of a spring plate carrying a stud fitting successively into recesses in the wheel 16. The photographs are thus taken and projected in the order shown in Fig. 8.

Abstract: 26,097. Krosnowski, S. M. Nov. 22. Passing materials through fluid - supplying apparatus. - Accumulation apparatus for dyeing, straining, bucking, bleaching and impregnating cotton fabrics in the vat in a continuous operation, the goods being exposed in a spread-out condition a long time to the action of steam, &c., comprises three chambers viz., a treating-chamber always under pressure, a charging - chamber at the inlet thereof, normally under atmospheric pressure, and a discharging-chamber at the outlet thereof, normally under the same pressure as, and open to, the treating-chamber. The fabric F to be treated is passed into the charging-chamber I through an aperture 17 and piled on a table 19 by a folder 18, the treatment in the treating- chamber II going on simultaneously and continuously. When sufficient fabric has been piled, the slot 17 is closed by a slide 20 and the chamber I is opened to steam until the pressure is equal to that in the treating-chamber II, when an inner slide 16 is raised and simultaneously the pile of fabric is tipped from the table 19 into the first of six accumulation troughs 1 ... 6 in the treating-chamber. The inner slide 16 is again lowered, the table 19 raised again, the steam blown off from the chamber I, the first slide 20 again opened, whereupon the folder 18, temporarily thrown out of effective action, again starts piling the fabric, taking first that which has accumulated in a small trough 32 under the continuous supply. The folder 18 works rather more quickly than the continuous feed in the treating-chamber II so as to take up the accumulation in the small trough 32. In the treating- chamber II, kept at two atmospheres pressure for bleaching, the web, in its passage from one accumulation trough to the next may pass through soaking-vats 10 all connected by a pipe 11 and provided with an automatic liquid level device. The discharging-chamber III operates analogously to the charging - chamber I, the inlet slides 20, 21 being lowered together, and the exit slides 16, 26 being opened together when the tilting tables 19, 15 are operated; the pressure is adjusted to that of the atmosphere or of the treating-chamber II, as the case may be, simultaneously with the adjustment of the pressure in the charging-chamber I to that of the treating-chamber or the atmosphere, respectively. Steam cylinders 38,39 and cam gears 40, 41 are arranged to operate the exit doors 16, 26 and tilting tables 19, 15, and the inlet doors 20, 21, respectively, the upper rollers 34, 35 of the folding-devices being raised when the latter doors are closed, so that the folders do not act on the web.
