Abstract: 24,125. Langslow, H. R. Oct. 20. Money - delivering apparatus.- Coin-freed apparatus for turnstiles &c. is adapted to allow the optional use of coins of various values the corresponding change being delivered automatically. Coins of higher value c<4>, c<3>, c2, c<1>, inserted in the corresponding shoots on a plate A, Fig. 4, come to rest between pairs of contacts e<8> e<9>, e<7> e<6>, c<5>, e<4>, and e<3> e<2>, respectively, thereby closing the circuit of electro-. magnets P, P<1> through the sets of electro-magnets V V1 V2 V3, V, V2 V3, V2, V3, and V3 respectively.. The magnets V, V1 control devices for delivering a single coin as change from the shoots C3, C2, respectively, and the magnets V2, V3 control devices, Fig. 10, for delivering a predetermined number of coins from the shoots C1, C. Any one of the magnets V, V1, V2, or V3 can be cut out of the circuit by means of the coresponding switch arm Y. The electro-magnet P rotates a disk B, Fig. 4, arms b on which force the coins from between the contacts into the shoots beneath, in which they arrange themselves on edge one above another on slides v<2>, Fig. 10, to serve as change. Apertures a<3>, Fig. 4, serve to direct further coins to the money receptacle when the corresponding shoots are full. In the case of the electro-magnets V2, V3, the slides v<2>, Fig. 10, are carried by rods N connected by links n<2>, n<3>, to the armature n<5> and, when the magnets are energized, the slides are withdrawn, allowing the requisite change to escape to the operator, a spring-controlled pin u being simultaneously forced into the shoot to support the rest of the column. The number of coins delivered is determined by a thumbscrew m<1> adapted to be screwed on one or other of the pins u. In the case of the magnets V, V1, the mechanism is simpler, and only one coin is delivered from the shoots C3, C2.

Abstract: 25,174. Deighton, W., and Jarmain, E. A. Nov. 2. Change-speed and reversing gearing.-Relates to disk-and-roller variable-speed gearing, suitable for motor-vehicles, of the type in which the roller a, Fig. 2, driven by the disk n is movable across the disk, which is movable towards and from the roller, the disk shaft q being connected to the engine shaft by a yielding coupling p and being supported at its end next the disk n in a non-rotary sliding ball-bearing sleeve x normally thrust towards the roller a, by spring action. The sleeve x takes the form of a plummer-block with a removable cap slidably carried in guides upon a fixed bearer 2. An -enlargement 3 at the end of the block x contains a ball thrust bearing and carries externally rollers 5 adapted to press against and support the disk n. The roller a has side members a<1>, a<2> connected by balance gearing, and the composite roller is slid along its shaft b to vary the speed transmitted. The disk n is kept thrust against the roller by a spring 9 encircling the shaft q. The tension of the spring 9 is normally supported by a fixed ring 20, Fig. 3, but this tension may be increased by means of a movable ring 10 residing between the spring 9 and the ring 20. The disk n may be withdrawn from the roller by means of a loose collar 24, Fig. 3, and ball thrust bearing 25.

Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 26,817. Bruhn, F. W. G. Nov. 18. Taximeters; minimum-fare devices; setting- spindle mechanism.-In apparatus having fare disks operated by a pawl and a lever rocked by a clock or vehicle driven toothed cam provided with a minimum fare slot, braking-means are employed to prevent fraudulent setting of the driving-pin in the slot by too rapid adjustment of the setting-cam. When disengaged, the lever u, which is pivoted at a<1> to a pivoted arm b, is raised by the setting-cam c into the position shown in dotted lines, and when engaged it falls into the position shown in full lines. This movement forces the loosely-mounted cam w forward and brings the end of the slot w<1> against the pin v carried by the driving-shaft h. If the cam c be set very quickly to the operative position, the shaft h may overrun the cam w, and to prevent this the arm b is connected by a rod e to a bell-crank f, which operates a flyer, heavy disk, or hydraulic braking-device f<9> through ratchet and spur gearing. The indicating-disks are operated by a spring-controlled pawl a<4> pivoted to the lever a. On the first descent of the lever a to engage with the cam w, a pin d, carried by a lever operated by a cam c, strikes the arm a<5> of the pawl and causes it to engage a pin g. The pawl a<4> is withdrawn from the pin g by its spring at the first upward movement of the lever a, after the minimum fare has been worked off. The pin g further acts to prevent overthrow of the pawl a<4>. A lever a<8> is arranged to operate a fare totalizer.
