Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 28,340. Neumayer, L. Dec. 16. Sale apparatus; delivery of liquids. - Vending-machines are adapted to be operated from a continuously rotating shaft 10, the inserted coin falling into a pocket c formed in a disk 9 on the shaft and acting as a cam to cause the various operations of the machine. During the first part of the movement of the shaft, the coin engages a roller 11 and turns a lever 8 about its pivot 49, thereby raising a link 7 by means of a pin 48. A liquid-supply valve 28<a> is simultaneously opened against the action of a spring by a set-screw 20 on a lever 19 having a pin-and-slot connexion 24, 25 with the link 7, the parts being retained in this position by a spring-controlled lever 47. This lever is finally tripped, permitting the closure of the valve and the return of the parts to the normal position by the engagement of the coin with a roller 45. Coin action, mechanical-connexion and multiple-coin.-Two coins are required, the first coin being supported in the shoot 18 by a removable pin 16 on a lever 12 so as to direct the second coin into one of the pockets c of the disk 9 in which position it acts as a cam for operating the levers 8, 47, as above described. The pin 16 is inserted at different points of the lever 12, according to the number of coins to be inserted. Exhibiting coins; coin-discharging mechanism. -The coin escapes from the pin 16 to a pin 29 on the lever 19 when the valve is opened, and remains in this position until the parts return to the normal position, whereupon it passes to a pivoted flap 34, together with the coin from the disk 9. In this position, the coins may be viewed from the front of the apparatus through a glass 43 and from the rear through a glass 27, and are discharged at the next operation of the apparatus by the tilting of the flap by a crankarm 33 which is connected by a link 32 and a bell-crank lever 37 to the link 7. Returning coin.-While the apparatus is in operation, a pivoted portion 1 of the shoot is swung out laterally by the link 7, so that any further coin is returned to the operator by a shoot 3.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Variable Speed Gearing.
Inventor: HANSEN CHARLES
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1912-05-25
Granted: 1913-05-26
Abstract: 12,473. Hansen, C. May 25. Variable-speed belt gearing.-Relates to variable-speed gearing for motor-bicycles &c., of the kind in which an expanding pulley comprising halves pressed together by a spring is driven by a pinion on the engine shaft gearing with a toothed wheel on the pulley shaft, the toothed gear being enclosed in a casing which carries the pulley and is revolvable about the engine shaft to vary the effective pulley diameter. The invention comprises an arrangement in which the pulley is formed in halves connected by a screwthread of rapid pitch and pressed together by a spring. One half 18 of the expanding pulley is screwed on to the end of a spindle 10 carried on ball.bearings 9, 17 in a casing 5 and formed with a pinion 6 which transmits the drive at a reduced speed from a pinion 3 screwed on and pinned to the engine crank-shaft 2 projecting from the engine casing 1. Into the hollow boss 19 of the part 18 is screwed one end of a rifled bar 20, the other end of which is also screwed. The other half 18<a> of the pulley is mounted on the boss 19 of the half 18 and is formed with a boss 21 extending as a sleeve over the boss 19 and over the rifled bar 20, with a coarselythreaded end 22 into which white or other suitable metal in a molten state is run to form a nut 23 engaging the rifled bar 20. The pulley halves are thrust together by a spring 24 seated in an annular recess in the half 18<a> and bearing against an adjustable plate 25 on the outer screwed end of the rifled bar 20, these parts being enclosed by a casing 27 attached to the half 18<a>. The screw-and-nut connexion 20, 23 prevents momentary variations in the effective pulley diameter due to the sudden explosive impulses of the engine. Renewable wearing- rings 28, 29 are secured in the pulley flanges by screws, pins, &c. Rotatable rings 30, 31 to enable the engine to run free, may be mounted at the bottom of the pulley grove, being retained in the recessed faces of the pulley halves by the balls 32, 33 upon which they rotate. Cleats 12, 13 on the engine casing 1 engage a flange 14 on the casing 5, and in conjunction with a segmental guide 16 serve to hold the casing 5 in position, balls being arranged between the cleats and the flange 14 and between the flange 14 and the casing 1 to diminish friction. A ring 40 of felt &c. is also provided to exclude dust. An arm 38 upon the casing 5 carries a nut 39 which is engaged by a screwthreaded rod 36 connected to a suitable operating-handle on the bicycle or other frame. By rotation of the operating-rod 36, the casing 5 together with the expansible pulley is moved round the engine shaft so as to tighten or slacken the main driving-belt, whereupon the spring 24 adjusts correspondingly the distance between the pulley flanges, so determining the effective pulley diameter. The reversed arrangement of the engine and the transmisison through a reducing-gear is stated to diminish the tendency to skidding.

Completed matches are discharged from a conveyer 12 into a series of open-topped boxes 1 moving laterally, which thereupon enter a tipping - apparatus 8, and are emptied into opensided collectors 6, supported for instance on a moving chain. The boxes may be subdivided into cells by wedgeshaped partitions 5. These, when tipped over, are preferably forced into the matches in the collectors, to assist parallelism, and may be cut away at the front edges to prevent friction with the heads. Preferably the axis of tipping is on a level with the matches, which are thus turned through 180 degrees, bringing their heads outwards in the collectors so that further drying may take place. The boxes 1 do not need to be closed in front. They push one another forward, except while tipping occurs, and one or more may be tipped at a time. As shown, the tipping-apparatus is operated by a rack and pinion 11, and holds the boxes by a T-shaped groove.
