Inventor: COWAN JOHN
Filed: 1907-09-07
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 19,995. Cowan, J. Sept. 7. Counting-apparatus; measured quantities, delivering. - Measuring-taps of the kind described in Specification No. 1793, A.D. 1885, and known as "Ross " taps are provided with mechanism for registering the total amount of liquor drawn off. At each delivery of liquor the handle 11 of the tap, and with it a rack 12 secured thereto, is withdrawn and oscillates, through a pinion 10, a lever 13 pivoted at 22 to the casing 1. The lever 13 carries a pawl 15 engaging a ratchet-wheel 16, on the spindle of which is a pointer moving over a scale. A counting-train 4 carrying other pointers for indicating the higher units of volumes is geared to the spindle of the wheel 16. In a modification, in which the casing 1 is disposed sideways with respect to the barrel 2 of the tap, the pinion 10 is dispensed with and the rack 12, which need only have one tooth, engages directly with the lever 13. Specification No. 25,028, A.D. 1896, is referred to.

Abstract: 15,136. Petch, A. F. June 29. Speed - varying mechanism. -Hydraulic powertransmission apparatus, which may be of the kind described in Specification 13,894/07, is fitted with clutching-mechanism so that the driving and driven shafts may be directly coupled. The apparatus is shown in Fig. 1, in which the pumping-device A is shown separated from the engine device B, each being provided with its own valve-plate and the clutch member A<3>, B<3> being arranged between the elements. The lever C is hinged near its pivot so that it may engage with one or other of the levers C<2>, C<3>, Fig. 3, which are the controls for the speedvariation and the clutch respectively. The lever D may be used to open a by-pass valve to permit free circulation of the pressure fluid after the clutch is engaged, and tha same movement may be arranged to reduce the stroke of the pistons to zero. In Fig. 3 the notch C<5> represents the position of the lever C<2> that corresponds to "no "stroke" of the pistons in the member A, and the notch C<6> shows the position for maximum speed of reverse. When the lever C<3> is in the notch C<4>, the clutch is engaged. In Fig. 4 is shown a safety arrangement whereby the clutch cannot be engaged when the shafts are rotating at different speeds. The bolt F can only enter the slot G when the speed-control quadrant H is in such a position that the shafts are running at approximately the same speed.
