Inventor: SANDERS WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1904-02-05
Granted: 1904-05-05
Abstract: 2932. Sanders, W. H. Feb. 5. Fares and admission-fees, registering and checking. -In an apparatus for punching tickets or printing the date and fare thereon, and also for recording the number issued, the ticket is introduced through the slot 42, and, in the case of a printing-instru- ment, inward pressure of the punch-rod 3 against the spring 44 causes the type-lever 6, pivoted thereto to strike the fixed bar 38 and rotate into the horizontal position. Rubber types 34 on the lever are inked by the roller 39 during the motion, and are eventually impressed on the ticket. As the punch-rod moves in, and carries with it the arms 7, the pin 8 thereon feeds the ratchet-wheel 10 on the spindle 11 one tooth forward, and the projection 32 of the pivoted bell-hammer is caught and released to sound the bell 33, the ratchet- wheel being provided with a detent 13. Keyed to the spindle are :-(1) a wiper 16 which depresses a pawl 17 pivoted at 19 and actuates the pawl 21 of a ratchet-feed gear 22, 23, 24 for a drum carrying recording-paper ; (2) a cam 26 which at every stroke of the punch presses back the arm 27 of a three-armed lever, the return of which forces a registering-point 28 against the paper. Several punches are arranged side by side, each being allotted to a certain fare, but the pawls 17 are on a common spindle, and likewise the projections 3, whereby the use of any punch-bar feeds the drua and sounds the bell.

Title: Machine with Revolving Wings or Blades, applicable either as Propeller, Motor, Pump, or Blowing Engine.
Inventor: HUECKEL HUGO
Filed: 1904-03-09
Granted: 1904-07-14
Abstract: 5787. H³ckel, H. March 9. Paddles.-Relates to a machine having revolving wings for propelling aÙrial machines and navigable vessels. Fig. 2 shows a plan of the machine. There are two symmetrically-arranged wings, which revolve at the same speed but in contrary directions, so that during one half-revolution they are transverse, while, during the other half, they are tangential to the directions of rotation. The changes of position of the wings are effected without jerks by using sun-and-planet gearing g<1>, g<2>, g<3>, g<4>, shown enlarged in Fig. 5. Each wing consists of a lens-shaped framing, to the periphery u of which is attached a flexible sail which can bulge out against the framing on either side. The two main bearers t<1>, t' of the framing as shown in Fig. 5 are supported by a plate s mounted loosely on the pin of the crank k. The plate s carries pinions z<2> gearing on one side with the toothed wheel z<1> mounted fast on the crank k, and on the other side with an internally-toothed ring secured in the casing h. This casing is constrained by the following means in order to control the motion of the wings. A guide-bar L, Fig. 7, fixed to the casing h slides continuously through a stationary socket x. There are three modified sliding bars L, the end of one of which slides along a groove, another is fixed to the end of an oscillating rod, and, in the last form, the guide-bar slides between two guides fixed to the casing. In each of the arrangements, the arm L to which the casing is rigidly attached has its free end guided in a definite path, thus causiing the casing h while being carried round in the circle of the crank k to oscillate upon the crank-pin o. These movements, combined with those produced by the sun-and-planet gear, cause the wings to assume positions similar to those shown in Fig. 12, which shows an arrangement of the machine to serve as a motor. The driving-fluid flows in the direction of the arrows 3 through suitable guide-channels against the wings or blades; which then revolve in the direction of the arrow 4. The machine may be fitted with a flywheel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Hydraulic Motors.
Inventor: ANGELINI ORESTE
Filed: 1906-01-16
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 1176. Angelini, O. Jan. 16. Impact-wheels -Relates to impact-wheels driven by liquids or fluids under pressure, such as water from waterfalls. The water is first used to drive a water-current motor, the escaping liquid from the conduit being regulated by the motor, and then used to drive a Pelton wheel. Fig. 1 shows a conduit a having branch pipes b which communicate with the cylinder c. The discharge end is provided with means, such as a hit-and-miss valve, for making the discharge intermittent. As shown, the disk h is rotated about its centre through the agency of an eccentric on the motor shaft, thus varying the width of the openings. When the liquid escapes freely, the piston e is forced downwards by atmospheric pressure, which overcomes the dynamic pressure of the liquid, the liquid in its turn falling on the vanes of the Pelton wheel p, until the discharge is interrupted, when the piston is forced up by the consequent increase of pressure. The shaft of the wheel is connected by a belt or chain g to the shaft of the motor.
