Patent GB-191204470-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Coin Freed Machines.
Inventor: HARRIS HENRY KINGSFORD
IPC: G07F5/08
Filed: 1912-02-22
Granted: 1913-02-24
Abstract: 4470. Harris, H. K. Feb. 22. Sale apparatus; delivery mechanism.- The apparatus is of the type adapted to be set beforehand to determine the amount of money that must be inserted before the machine can be operated. An operating, delivery, or like slide 12 is normally locked by the engagement of a pawl 16 with a projection 9 of a spring- controlled lever 5, the nose 10 of which rests on an escapement disk or the like y. When coins to the required aggregate value have been inserted (the apparatus shown is adapted to receive halfpennies and pennies), the disk y has been rotated by its driving-spring in the direction of the arrow 3, Fig. 1, to a sufficient extent to bring a notch 8 beneath the nose 10 of the lever 5, whereupon the lever drops and frees the operating slide 12. The movement of the slide 12 serves to restore the disk y to the initial position and to rewind the driving spring, a pin 19 on the slide engaging an arm 2 on the disk. A stop 20 limits the backward movement of the arm and disk, and this stop is set beforehand to determine the amount of money to be inserted. Coin action, weight and multiple-coin.-The escapement disk y is rotated through the space of one or two teeth according as a penny.or a halfpenny is inserted, an escapement lever t being actuated twice by a penny and once by a halfpenny. A penny passing down the shoot s rocks a projection f on the arm d of a lever c, which is connected to the escapement lever, and, as it leaves the shoot, strikes a projection m on a spring-controlled lever h and operates the escapement a second time, but a halfpenny fails to engage the projection f. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the disk y is provided with radial arms 32 and is geared to a second disk 34 having similar arms 35. A penny rotates both disks, but a halfpenny only rotates the lower disk.

Abstract: 5327. Stigell, R. V. March 2. Printing apparatus combined with weighing and measuring apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for weighing or measuring granular or liquid material and for obtaining a record thereof. The material is run from a hopper into a weighing-receptacle A, which is balanced by adjustable springs C attached to the receptacle by chains 2 passing over pulleys 8 on a shaft 4. A type-wheel D is carried by the shaft 4. Above this shaft is a cylinder E covered by a record sheet and arranged to be rotated together with its shaft 5 by means of a handle F provided with a pointer 7 moving over a dial on the casing. To record the weight or measure in the receptacle A, a type-wheel D slidable on a shaft 4 is first adjusted beneath the correct column on the cylinder E by means of a screw, and the handle F is pulled out, thus moving a shaft 3 longitudinally by means of a connexion 6. This lateral movement causes a ball 11<a> within a recess 11 to raise an arm C<2> rigid with a fork 10 and cause a member 12 to press one of a number of sliding type carried by the type-wheel D against the cylinder E, the impression being produced through a piece of coloured copying-paper. The final movement of the handle F and shaft 3 pulls a chain 2<a> and opens the discharge valve 1 of the receptacle.
