Patent GB-394998-A (GB)
Abstract: 394,998. Money-delivering apparatus. TATE, R. H., 36, Greenway Gardens, Hendon, London. Jan. 6, 1932, No. 359. [Class 116.] In an apparatus for separating treasury notes from a spring-raised pile 4, the depression of a key 55 starts the machine and sets it to release a given number of notes after which the machine is stopped automatically. The depression of the key releases a clutch which controls the driving of a shaft 9 about which are pivoted frames 13 carrying a suction roller 20 which is geared to the shaft 9. The frames 13 are oscillated about the shaft 9 by means of eccentrics 16, Fig. 3, on the shaft of the roller 20 which engage anti-friction rollers 17 secured to a fixed frame 18. The roller 20 rotates in a clockwise direction, and at the commencement of the separating action the frames 13 move anticlockwise and the sheet as soon as it is held by the suction orifices 21 of the roller 20 is buckled in a backward direction and withdrawn from a spring-controlled stop 25 which is adapted to engage the remainder of the pile as the top sheet is being withdrawn. The air pressure in the roller 20 is controlled by a suction pump 12 operated by a crank on the shaft 9, and by a valve 50 operated by a lever 51 with a roller 52 engaged by a fixed cam race 53. The separated note passes under a spring-pressed roller 26 carried by a pivoted frame 27 mounted in the frames 13, and the frame 27 carries arms 35, 36. If only one note is fed at a time, the arm 35 engages a pawl lever 37 and operates a ratchet 40 on the shaft of a cam roller 67 as the frames 13 move outwards. The roller 67 is fitted with a series of cam projections which are arranged in helical fashion and are adapted to release the catches 62, 63 which hold the keys 55 depressed, so as to stop the machine when the required number of notes have been issued. If the machine is set to deliver five notes, the fifth cam projection releases the key 55 after the delivery of the five notes. The keys 55 return under spring action, and a catch 84 allows return of the ratchet 40 under spring action, and the machine may then be re-set for a further operation. If two superposed notes pass between the rollers 20, 26, the frame 27 is swung over further so that the arm 36 engages a lever 38 and operates a shaft 64 which releases the upper catches 62 and permits the keys 55 to rise sufficiently to stop the machine, but the lower catches 63 prevent the complete return of the keys and release of the ratchet 40. By removing the excess notes and restarting the machine by depression of a key 55, the machine will be stopped when delivery of the correct number of notes has been completed. In a modification the shaft of the ratchet 40 may be connected directly to the cam shaft 67, or by means of a reduction gearing of 1 to 10, so that in this case the release of a key 55 will cause the delivery of 50 instead of 5 notes. A counting-device 75 registers the complete number of notes delivered. The feed-apparatus may be arranged to feed the notes from the bottom of a pile of notes.

Abstract: 1353267 Pneumatic actuators HONEYWELL GmbH 6 Sept 1972 [15 Sept 1971 7 July 1972] 41231/72 Heading F1D In a pneumatic actuator, Fig. 1, the diaphragm piston 1, 3 is returned by a torsion spring 12 which is fixed at one end 13 to a housing 11 and twisted by the actuating member 2, Fig. 2 (not shown). The torsion bar is attached to either one of a pair of lugs on the casing 11 by a screw which passes through an arm 14. This provides the correct pre-loading depending on which way the piston is deflected, i.e. up or down. Rotary drive may be provided from the torsion bar through a clutch member 27. In a second embodiment, Figs. 3 and 5, the casing 11 is pivoted to supports 5 by arms 38, 39 and the torsion bar is pivoted to the actuator 2 by an arm 41. Thus, when the piston moves downwards the actuator 2 causes the casing 11 to pivot downwards. Both ends of the torsion bar are therefore rotated and a shorter bar can be used. A lug 34, Fig. 5, provides for the necessary pre-loading. In both embodiments the solid torsion bar may be replaced by a stack of spring leaves or a bar of different cross-section.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical circuit breakers
Inventor: COLEMAN EDWARD
IPC: H01H71/10
Filed: 1966-09-15
Abstract: 1,202.206. Automatic circuit breakers. OTTERMILL CHILTON Ltd., E. COLEMAN and M. J. FRANKLIN. 14 Sept., 1967 [15 Sept., 1966], No. 41233/66. Heading H1. The contact arm 15 of an automatic circuit breaker is normally latched to a pivoted lever 41 and is pivotable by a handle 21 about the latching point to bring contact members 11, 12 into engagement. On overload the latch lever 41 is pivoted about a shaft 42, by an armature 48 of an electromagnet or by a bi-metal 20, to release the contact arm 15 and allow a contact pressure spring 13 to open the contacts. The handle 21 carries a roller (39) on shaft 28, the roller co-operating with a cam surface (83, 84) on the contact arm 15 to close the contacts. When the arm 15 is released from the latch bar 47 of lever 41 the cam surface (83, 84) acts upon the roller (39) to return the handle to the off position; the spring 13 then resets the latch. The armature 48 is mounted on the same shaft 42 as lever 41 and is free to pivot towards the electromagnet 17 before striking the lever 41. The bi-metal acts on lever 41 through a slide 52. Several circuit breakers may be ganged by inserting pins to couple the parts 63 of levers 41 and linking the handles 21. After tripping of any breaker a pin 71 on its contact arm 15 acts on lever 41 to cause further movement. The parts 63 are loosely coupled allowing the first breaker to be tripped before force is applied to the couplings, the other breakers being tripped by the further movement.
