Title: Coin supply monitor
IPC: G07D1/00
Filed: 1971-12-18
Abstract: 1415162 Dispensing coins A SHAW 19 March 1973 [18 Dec 1971] 58900/71 Headings G4X and G4V A coin dispenser comprises means 14 for detecting when the number of coins in a storage unit 10 falls below a predetermined level to inhibit further dispensation of coins from that storage unit and trigger the dispensation of coins from another storage unit 20. In the embodiment described, which is a prize pay-out device for a gaming machine, two level sensing microswitches 13, 14 are provided for storage unit 10, the switches being connected to respective inputs of a flip-flop 22, the outputs of which are connected to a control circuit 31. The circuit 31 also receives inputs from a counter 30 controlled by win determining circuits 26 to 28 and has outputs connected to solenoid dispensing mechanisms 16, 21 of the storage units 10, 20. The storage units 10, 20 are filled with 5p and 10p coins respectively and when level of 5p coins falls below switch 14 the flip-flop 22 is set to provide an output 24 which triggers the circuit 31 to dispense 10p coins equivalent to at least part of the required pay-out. For example, a 15p pay-out would be made with one 5p and one 10p coin rather than the three 5p coins of normal circumstances. The flip-flop 22 is reset when the level of coins in storage unit 10 is replenished to above switch 13.

The loaded carrier material is then separated, washed and dried and then optionally further treated, e.g. by calcination followed by reduction. The iron ions are oxidised by addition of nitrate or nitrite ions, halogen oxy-acids, potassium permanganate. Specified carriers are silica, e.g. kieselguhr, alumina, titania, thoria or clays. The preparation is suitably carried out under an inert atmosphere. The Examples describe the preparation of silicon supported catalysts comprising (i) Co-Fe, (ii) Co-Fe-Mn and (iii) Fe only.

Patent GB-711191-A (GB)
Abstract: 711,191. Locking valves. CANNON INDUSTRIES, Ltd. May 3, 1952, No. 11251/52. Addition to 703,155. Class 135. [Also in Group XI] The gas control apparatus described in the parent Specification is modified in that the hand lever 39 for rotating the slotted plate 36 keyed to the spindle of the gas cock and for withdrawing the plunger 28 holding the swingable burner in operative position is in the form of a plate hinged at 40 to the slotted plate 36 and apertured at 42 to receive a lug 41 projecting from the slotted plate. The hand lever 39 has a slot 44a for engaging a flange 44 on a collar 43 on the tail of the plunger when withdrawing the plunger, and during withdrawal the upper part of the lever moves in a slot in a wall covering the tail of the plunger and the lower part of the lever. On releasing the lever 39 after the burner has been swung into inoperative position the plunger moves so that its nose projects to its maximum extent beyond the cock body so that the collar 43 enters and fills an enlargement 46 of the slot 35 in the plate 36 and so prevents the gas cock being turned to the " on " position; the flange 44 bears against the lever and holds if against an abutment (not shown) on the slotted plate. The burner is bolted to a latching plate 13 pivoted to the cock body by a pin 20 the plate having a hole 27 to receive the nose of the plunger and an inclined lug 24 depressing the plunger before it enters the hole. Specification 688,262, [Group XI], also is referred to.
