Abstract: 21,674. Voglesong, C. C. Sept. 25. Coins, separating; tills.-Consists of an apparatus for sorting and counting coins, more especially for use as a receptacle for fares &c. The machine is described for use with dimes, nickels, and cents, and consists of a frame 9 supported on a housing 12, the frame and housing being locked together by a sealed pin 13. At the top is a hopper 2 with a constricted outlet 3 below which is a cone-shaped plate 6 to prevent removal of coins, which fall down into an inspection chamber 5 and rest on a table 4 normally held level. The table 4 may be tilted by a hand-lever, whereupon the coins fall on to a sorting-mechanism consisting of an inclined chamber 14 having an apertured bottom plate 15, the apertures being arranged round the periphery and having varying diameters to receive the different coins. The apertures connect with shoots 41, 42, 43 leading to different compartments of a cash drawer 45. Above the bottom plate 15 is a rotatable plate 19 having a number of apertures of sufficient size to take the largest coins. The coins lodge in these apertures and are carried over the lower apertures, a spring- pressed guard-plate 23 preventing overlying. A pin 25 deflects standing coins. The plate 19 is fixed on a shaft 21 driven by bevel and reduction gearing from a handle 28 on a shaft 29. A ratchet prevents reverse operation. The cents shoot 42 leads direct to the pocket 44. The shoots 41, 43 lead to side pockets past counting- mechanism. A rod 49 engaging a slot 48 in the drawer prevents access to the pocket 44 without breaking the seal 13. The counting-mechanisms consist of wheels 51, 53, Figs. 4 and 7, having coin-receiving pockets 54. Each wheel has a central annular groove 55, in which are arranged guide-fingers 56 and a counter lever 57. A coin, having entered a pocket from the shoot, closes the annular groove and raises the lever 57, which is connected to a counter 60.

Granted: 1914-07-30
Abstract: 74. Gibson, A. L., [Kinnear Manufacturing Co.]. Jan. 1. Fire-proof shutters.-Means for raising and lowering fire-proof rolling shutters &c. comprises an electric motor, an electric brake therefor included in a shunt from the field circuit of the motor, a limit-switch device operated by the motor and adapted to break the motor circuit when the shutter reaches the limit of its travel, and a reversing-switch for reversing the armature current of the motor. The limit switch controls an automatic switch controlling the current to the motor and brake. The shaft of the winding-drum of the shutter is driven through epicyclic gearing, either from the motor shaft, or from a manually - operated endless chain connected to the epieyclic gearing through an irreversible worm mechanism. As shown diagrammatically in Fig. 11, the current supply is connected through an ordinary service switch w and lines a, b to the automatic switch c, d, e, controlled by the limit switch, which comprises a screw 52 driven by the motor and carrying adjustable nuts 53, 54 adapted to open switch levers 59<a>, 58<a> respectively, according to the direction of rotation of the screw, when the shutter has reached the limit of its travel, the motor circuit being thus broken by the automatic switch. Before one of the switch levers 59<a>, 58<a> is thus opened, the other switch lever is automatically freed, and allowed to close by gravity &c., in readiness for the reverse movement of the shutter. The motor g is started by means of a reversing-switch i, which reverses the current through the armature without reversing the current through the field f arranged in series with the armature.

Title: Improved System of Synchronising Electric Clocks.
Inventor: O'KEENAN CHARLES EDOUARD
IPC: G04C13/02
Filed: 1914-02-04
Granted: 1914-08-27
Abstract: 2924. O'Keenan, C. E. Feb. 5, 1913, [Convention date]. Electric clocks.-In an electric clock system, the master-clock consists of an escapement-controlled electromotor, the armature - spindle of which carries a contact-device which periodically makes and breaks a continuous current circuit. The secondary clocks consist of electromotors which are caused to rotate continuously in synchronism with the master-clock by the current-impulses sent out by the transmitter. The armature of each motor in the system may consist of a single winding a, Fig. 2, which surrounds a cylinder or sphere of soft iron, and which may be supported by a cardboard cylinder b', the armature rotating in the field of a permanent magnet b. Continuous current is supplied to the motor A of the masterclock from a battery e, connected through a resistance f to the brush of the commutator d. The speed of the motor A is controlled by a clock escapement, connected thereto through a spring x, as described in Specification 23,570/13. On the armaturespindle is a contact-device consisting of two connected segments g, mounted in insulating material. These segments coact with fixed brushes l, m, so that as the spindle rotates, the circuit of a battery e<1> is periodically closed, and current-impulses are sent at regular intervals along the leads n to the secondary clocks. The current-impulses are received by the motors B of the secondary clocks through commutators g<1>. Preferably the commutator of each secondary motor B is arranged slightly in advance with reference to the plane of the armature-coil. Instead of having a separate contactor such as g on the armature-spindle of the motor A, the commutator d may be utilized for transmitting to the line wires, as shown in Fig. 4. In other modifications, in which also a separate contactor is dispensed with, a single battery is employed, replacing the batteries e and e'. Various methods are described of temporarily altering the rate of the master-clock in order to alter the indications of the secondary clocks.

Inventor: COWPER-COLES SHERARD OSBORN
IPC: F42B14/02
Filed: 1914-04-07
Granted: 1915-04-01
Abstract: 8795. Coles, S. O. Cowper-. April 7. Electrodes; electrodes, moving; preparing surfaces; electrolytes, circulating. - Copper bands are deposited on projectiles by a process described in Specification 25,393/13, namely by treating the part of the surface of the projectile to be banded with concentrated nitric acid or otherwise to render the surface passive, and then at once transferring the projectile to the electro-depositing tank while the treated surface is still passive. During electrolysis, the projectile may be rotated and the electrolyte squirted against it. To prevent the formation of trees and nodules at the edges of the copper band, the anode is in the form of a narrow ring, the width of which is approximately one-quarter that of the copper band to be deposited.

Granted: 1915-03-25
Abstract: 10,297. Roussel, T. J. April 25. Pivoted-sliding windows.- Sashes pivoted to ing stiles 3, Fig. 4, are made weather-tighi nenns of pairs of parallel bars 8, 8' whist can be moved by hand into and out of engagement with grooves and rabbets in the stiles. The bars also have a limited vertical play by connecting them by a slotted link 18, Fig. 8, to a pin 15, Fig. 7, on a bracket 12. When the bars 8, 8<1> are clear of the sash, the link 18 is inclined; to put the bars into engagement with the sash, the sash is raised or lowered to its full extent, and the bars are pulled by hand outwardly and downwardly so that the link 18 is horizontal. The bars are then pushed inwards so that a rivet 9 connecting the bars engages a fork 14 on the bracket; the bars are thus held against vertical movement, and the sash is then lowered or raised and slides on them. To compensate for expansion and contraction of the sash and so prevent jamming of the bars 8, 8', the lateral movement of the rivet 9 is ensured by adjusting the bracket 12 by means of a spring 16 and screw 17. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, the sashes are pivoted to bars 3 which slide in grooves in the frame, and che weather-strips also enter grooves in the frame.
