Title: Improvements in Cash Registers and the like.
Filed: 1911-04-13
Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 9301. National Cash Register Co., [National Cash Register Co.]. April 13. Cash registers; drawer interlocks; tablet indicators; flashes.-Machines having cost and selling-price counters, such as those described in Specification 4159/02, are fitted so that the counters are operated automatically on alternate actuations, the indicator flash, clerk's key release, drawer latch release, and bell hammer being only operated at the end of each sequence of double operations. The machine is broadly of the type described in Specification 10,213/93, with printing-mechanism as described in Specification 8678/98 and counter throw-out mechanism as described in Specification 27,802/03. The cost counter is normally in position for actuation. A shaft 103 is geared to the main shaft 15 so as to turn once for every two turns of the main shaft and carries a cam which engages a lever 35 for moving the longitudinal spindle 25 controlling the counter throw-out as in the Specification referred to, thus bringing each counter into action on alternate operation of the machine. This shaft also carries the cam 90 for releasing the drawer. A similar half-speed gear 81 carries a pin 84 for tripping the indicator flash detent 82, and a cam 102 for releasing the clerk's key latches 112, and for actuating the bell hammer 101 at each alternate operation. Item-printing mechanism.-A double width record-strip may be employed carried on a carriage which is moved laterally for alternate printing in columns by a lever 55 and cam 52 similar to that for changing the counters. A long and short feed for the record strip is given by deep and shallow cams 60, 61 engaging the sliding feed-bar alternately. Keys for special transactions are normally locked against actuation, as in Specification 27,802/03, by arms 151, Fig. 3, engaging the counter throw-out plungers. The preliminary operation to release these is given by a " no- " sale " key, and in order to allow simultaneous depression of special and amount keys a pawl 164 is pivoted to the end of each special keylever so as to hold such key initially set until engaged by the coupler.
Patent GB-191114470-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Two-stroke Cycle Internal Combustion Pumps.
Filed: 1911-06-19
Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 14,470. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. June 20, 1910, [Convention date]. Direct explosion apparatus.-In an internalcombustion pump having a freely - reciprocating liquid column, the products of combustion are sucked or flushed away and the fresh charge is admitted at or about the moment when the column of liquid surging away from the combustion chamber comes to rest, so that the pump operates on a two-strokecycle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the exhaust valve 5 is situated in a passage leading to a suction air-vessel 8, in which a low pressure is maintained by means of an air-pump connected to the pipe 9. When the surface of the liquid in the combustion chamber 1 has nearly reached its lowest level at the termination of an explosion stroke, a tappet 35, Fig. 4, on a float-controlled rod 33 momentarily depresses the exhaust valve 5, which is normally held on its seat by a spring 27, and the burnt products are thereby withdrawn from the combustion chamber. The further descent of the rod 33 releases the valve 5 and momentarily opens the admission valve 4 by means of the tappet 34, whereupon a fresh charge of combustible mixture enters under pressure or otherwise. The column of liquid in the play pipe 3 now returns under the action of air compressed in the vessel 2 and compresses the fresh charge, the arrangement being such that the valves 4, 5 are not affected by the upward movement of the tappets 34, 35. Fig. 3 shows an apparatus for simultaneously raising liquid and compressing gases in which every movement of the water in the play pipe 3 is produced by an explosion. Two combustion chambers 1 constructed as described above are provided at opposite ends of the play pipe, and air or gas compressing chambers 11 operating in known manner are placed in proximity therewith. The liquid to be pumped enters through the valves 6 and is delivered through the valves 7.

The ramp 10 is pivoted at one end on an horizontal pin, and its free end is raised bv levers 22, 23 actuated from a cam slot 26 in a disk 27 which is moved by a wire or other connexion in conjunction with the signals. The rod 7 on the locomotive carries a roller 9 for engaging the ramp 10 and slides vertically in guides 8. It is held in its lowered position by springs 11 and its motion is limited by a stop 12. The valve lever 14 rests on top of the rod 7 and is connected by a spring to a pipe on the valve casing. When the rod 7 is raised, the valve lever is lifted and is held open by a pin or other device. A lead seal 6 is broken when the valve is actuated.
