Title: Improvements in and relating to Adding Machines.
Inventor: FINCATO PAOLINO
Filed: 1912-06-27
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 15,001. Fincato, P. June 27. Adding-apparatus; multiplying by repetition.-In a key-set and independently-operated adding-machine, a repeat device for effecting multiplication by repeated addition is provided and is adapted, after the desired number of repetitions have been made, to stop the machine automatically. The device comprises eight special keys C having stems T, each of which is provided with a stop F adapted to hold the depressed key in its lowered position, whereby the lower end of the stem of said key is brought into the path of a corresponding pin or tappet P mounted in a helical manner on a drum Q upon a shaft S which is rotated step-by-step by means of a ratchet-wheel R and pawl K at each complete operation of the machine. The depressed key is returned to its normal position by the tappet engaging the lower end of the key and rocking it to allow the stop F to pass through the holes f<1> in the guide plate G. The key - stems have pins e thereon adapted to depress a rack-plate i and thereby lower the repeat key A to start the machine. At the same time the rack plate i operates an arm o to connect up the clutch members b, b<1>, attached respectively to the ratchet-wheel R and shaft S. When performing simple addition, the clutch is not coupled, but the key A is depressed directly to operate the machine, and the key stem is slotted so as to prevent the depression of the rack plate.

Title: Improvements relating to the Delivery of Grit for Preventing the Skidding of Road Vehicles.
Inventor: WATKINS JAMES LOGAN
IPC: B60B39/06
Filed: 1912-09-24
Granted: 1913-09-18
Abstract: 21,741. Watkins, J. L. Sept. 24. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Sand, distributing on wheel tracks.-Grit is deposited in front of any or all of the wheels of a road vehicle by compressed air, the valves for admitting the air to the sand-box being controlled by the driver or by the conductor. In one form, the hubs h of four compartmented sand-boxes 1, 2, 3, 4 are connected by pipes g through valves e to a reservoir d, which is supplied with air by a pump c operated through a friction-wheel b from the fly-wheel a of the motor. Press-buttons l control the valves e through wires or pneumatic means. The boxes are rotated so as to bring a charged section into register with the delivery pipe, and the compressed air is admitted to the section through an opening i. In a modified form of apparatus, the sand is brought into a chamber by a conveyer screw for expulsion by air pressure, A mixture of crushed clinkers and sand may be used, and the delivery pipes 1<a>, 2<a>, 3<a>, 4<a> are designed to direct a broad stream of grit below the wheels. The wheel b may be brought against the wheel a by the forcing of material through holes in the periphery of the wheel b, pneumatically or otherwise, or by distortion of a pneumatic bag in the wheel b by a plunger against spring action. The wheel b may also be moved by a cam.

Granted: 1914-01-29
Abstract: 8267. Helfenstein, A. April 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Conductors for electricity. - The fixed contact conductors on an electric traction system each comprise a group of freely-hanging elements, such as chains, metal strips or filaments, wires, or the like. In the construction shown in side view in Fig. 5, four rows of chains are hung from a bar r suspended by links s from the plate q. The spring p permits the contact to swing under the pressure of the collectors but normally holds it in the position shown. Collectors for electricity.-In order to reduce the movement of the contact elements and improve the electrical contact, the skate collectors used in connexion with the above contacts are magnetized by electro-magnets placed underneath them. The collectors are also formed with longitudinal grooves or ribs. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the reverse arrangement, in which the freely-hanging elements are carried by the vehicles, and the skate or contact rails are fixed along the track. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Recording Apparatus for Cash Registers.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
Filed: 1912-12-02
Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 14,611. Haddan, R., [National Cash Register Co.]. Dec. 2, 1912. Autographic cash recorders; cash registers with operating-means and item-printing mechanism.-Relates to means whereby, in an autographic recorder having also provision for printing item-values from type-carriers at the sides of the written record, the machine may be given one of three settings at will, so that on operation of the main handle either a record may be made for all transactions, or for none, or automatically certain transactions may be recorded according to a predetermined selection. Segments 266 receive the differential movement of the type-carriers, as determined by the keyboard described in Specification 27,768/12, and a take-up roll for the reoord-strip is rotated by means of a. lever 307, pawl 306, and ratchetwheel 302, the lever deriving oscillation from one of the main operating - shafts through the link 308. A roller platen 309 is depressed by a cam upon an operating-shaft and is restored by a spring when an impression is required. Control of the impression and feeding mechanisms is exercised by a lever 328, 329, which is urged by a spring upon its fulcrum 322 into the position shown, wherein it disengages the feeding-pawl, and obstructs the upward movement of the arm 310 carrying the platen. When, however, the three-position manually-adjustable slide 320 is pressed downwards to the full extent, the lever is rocked to release the pawl for engagement and free the platen; complete disablement corresponds with the upper position of the slide. In the central position, as shown, the control over the lever is exercised by a spring-arm 332 engaging a pin 331 upon a transaction or other item - characterizing segment. When this segment is differentially adjusted so that the arm is free from the pin, counter-clockwise movement of the arm and lever takes place within limits determined by a slot 3201, whereupon the feeding-pawl and platen are released. Suitable ink-ribbon mechanism is provided.

Title: Improvements in Pumps for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BASKERVILLE ROBERT HENRY
Filed: 1913-07-16
Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 16,346. Baskerville, R. H. July 16. Valves, arrangement of.-Pumps for use with two-stroke-cycle internal-combustion engines, and of the type in which the suction and delivery are controlled by a moving sleeve valve divided into separate air and gas chambers, have the valve rotated or oscillated instead of being reciprocated, and the ports overrun by the piston and piston extensions. Fig. 1 illustrates the action on one side of the piston in each chamber. The inlet ports b<2> are arranged slightly above the outlet ports c<2>, and the piston e is adapted to overrun the outlet ports while an extension e<1> overruns the inlet ports, thus effecting cushioning, and the ports d' are adapted to have begun opening the inlet ports before these are uncovered by the piston extension, thus reducing wire-drawing. The valve in this case is continuously rotated by screw gearing g. A double-acting pump is shown in Fig. 5, in which the sleeve valve is divided into two chambers, by a division d<3>, one d<4> being for air and the other d<5> for gas. The double-acting pistons e, e<2> are connected tandem-fashion and the arrangement of ports at each end of the chambers is as described in connexion with Fig. 1, extensions (not shown) being provided on the pistons to overrun the inlet ports. In a modification, Fig. 6, the sleeve valve is divided into three chambers, the two extreme forming single-acting air chambers, and the intermediate a double-acting gas-chamber, the delivery ports d<8> from which, connected with a chamber c<1>, have delivery ports c<5>, c<6> connected to the engine inlet Extensions (not shown) on the pistons overrun the inlet ports in the sleeve valve at the same time as the pistons overrun the outlet ports.
