Title: Improvements in or relating to Coin-freed Devices for Regulating the Supply of Fluids.
Inventor: WILSON GEORGE
IPC: G07F15/02
Filed: 1911-05-04
Granted: 1912-06-04
Abstract: 10,852. Wilson, G. May 4. Gas, supplying by meter.-Relates to prepayment attachments for gas-meters adapted to be operated by coins of various values, and consists chiefly in the provision of two or more stops adapted to limit the motion of the coin-carrier and to determine the receptacle into which the coin is discharged. Coin action, multiple - coin and mechanicalconnexion. - The apparatus is adapted to take coins of four different values, say pennies, threepenny - pieces, - sixpences, and shillings, which are inserted through separate slots in an external plate B into slotted ribs D<3> carried by a plate D mounted on an external handle E. In these positions, the coins project into slots in a flange C<2> of a ratchet-wheel C, so as to couple the plate D and ratchet-wheel when the handle is rotated. Coin-discharging mechanism. - Threepennypieces, sixpences, and shillings all pass to the same money-box, falling from the carriers when a projection D<4> on the plate D strikes a stop on the casing, but pennies are arranged to strike a separate stop and pass through a slot in the supporting-framework to a separate money-box. Fraud, preventing.-If a coin be inserted of lower value than the slot is intended to take, it falls through the apparatus and may be returned to the operator. Coin-slit closing devices.-A safety plate F with coin slots corresponding to the slots in the plate D is normally held by a spring D<6>, so that the slots do not coincide. A pin-and-slot connexion D<7>, D<8>, however, permits the slots to be brought into coincidence when the plates are turned until a stop on the plate F engages a stop on the casing.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Music Leaf Turners.
Inventor: HENIGAN ERNEST GEORGE
IPC: B42D9/06
Filed: 1911-12-07
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 27,464. Henigan, E. G. Dec. 7. Leaf-turners.-Relates to music-leaf turners, in which steel caps on the leaves are attracted by an electro-magnet carried by a swinging arm actuated by a pedal, the pedal carrying a switch to control the electric circuit. The rotating arm 9 carries an electro-magnet 11 on its jointed extension 10, and is connected to the drum 6 which can be turned by the chain 14 and returned by the spring 20. The drum is carried by a plate 2, pivoted at 3 so that it can rock to the left or right by an amount limited by the slot 8, whereby the arm 9 is turned slightly out of the horizontal, and at the same time two two-way switches are operated by the vulcanite block 21 fixed to the back of the plate 2. The electro-magnet has an S-shaped core, one pole being used to turn the pages forward and the other to turn the pages backward. The pedal 15 is provided with switches at 31 and 16 to govern the duration of the current while the pedal and arm are in motion. To use the leafturner, the plate 2 and arm 9 are rocked about the pivot 3 to the right, and the pedal then pressed by the foot. The circuit is thus completed and energizes the magnet which attracts one of the steel caps, and at the same time the arm 9 is rotated, carrying with it a leaf. As the arm rotates, it rises, and by the time the leaf is completely turned over, the magnet has been drawn above the top of the page, one of the .switches at 31 at this moment breaking the current. When the pedal is released, the arm is returned by the spring 20. To turn the leaves from left to right, the arm is rocked about the pivot 3 to the left. On pressing the pedal, the arm is taken over to the left, whereupon one of the switches at 31 completes the circuit and one of the steel caps is attracted. The pedal is then allowed to rise, the foot still pressing the switch at 16, and the page is thus carried over to the right, the arm rising on its journey and clearing the top of the page as the switch 31 breaks the circuit.

Title: Improvements in Fountain-reservoir, Self-feeding Pens.
Inventor: LIVERSEDGE HENRY THOMAS
IPC: B43K5/06
Filed: 1911-12-14
Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 28,162. Liversedge, H. T. Dec. 14. Reservoir pens.-In reservoir pens, either of the single or double-barrelled self-filling type, the ink is drawn into the pen through an orifice P', Figs. 1 and 2, in a plug D closing the rear end of the pen, and a valve-rod I is provided, which closes the lower end of the ink reservoir and, in a single-barrelled pen, is also adapted to engage with the piston during the act of filling. The valve-rod I passes right through the plug D, and is squared at the end so as to engage with a squared recess in a small cap M, which is provided with an air-hole R and screws upon the plug D. A washer 0 having prongs P to close the orifice P<1> is arranged between the cap M and plug D, and closes both ducts P<1>, R when the pen is not in use. In the double-barrelled pen shown in Fig. 1, the inner and outer barrels A, B are connected by a left-handed screw-thread C, and the penholder E and the inner barrel A are connected rigidly by a screw-thread and by setscrews F. The penholder has a recess G with a V-shaped seating adapted to receive the end of the valve-rod. When the pen is in use, rotation of the cap M serves to vent the pen and also to raise the valve-rod I from its seating, thus allowing ink to flow to the nib by grooves K and duct H. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the valve-rod has a screw portion S which is adapted to engage a screwthread on the piston L, a square or similar recess T in the penholder preventing rotation of the piston during the engagement. In order to fill both forms of pen, the cap M and washer 0 are removed, the valve-rod I screwed tight into its seating, and the penholder E, the valve-rod and either the inner barrel A, Fig. 1, or the piston L, Fig. 2, are reciprocated together so as to draw ink in through the duct P'. Before replacing the cap M and washer 0, the valve-rod must be unscrewed from its seating. The inner barrel A, Fig. 1, may be formed with 6 shallow recesses around its circumference which may contain a lubricating-medium, or in which thread may be wound to serve as a packing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Tin Bending and Soldering Machines.
Inventor: SCHWEISS HERMANN
IPC: B23K1/00
Filed: 1912-04-03
Granted: 1913-06-04
Abstract: 8078. Schweiss, H. April 3. Angular bending; bending-formers; soldering. -In an apparatus for automatically bending and soldering tin bodies, the tin-plate with the solder is clamped during bending on a hollow rotating former by a claw-shaped lever mounted in the interior thereof, the lever being lifted off the joint during soldering, when the tin body is held by cheeks. A number of bending-appliances are mounted on a table 1 which is intermittently rotated by bevel-gear 45, 44 from a shaft 39. The shaft 39 carries a spring- controlled bar 47, which engages a stop on the bevel-wheel during the bending operation but is disengaged during the soldering and ejecting operations by a wedge bar 48 mounted on the framing. The table is held in its stationary position by a stop 2 operated by a cam 49. The plate 41 is clamped to one of the formers 4 by a claw-shaped lever 6, which is operated by a segment 33 mounted on a shaft 33<1> which carries a pinion 23 travelling along a short rack 24 on the stationary portion 3 of the table. During this operation a lever 25 on the shaft 33<1>, which is connected by a spring 27 to a lever 26 on a concentric shaft 43<1> on which the former 4 is mounted, is rotated against the action of the spring 27 and is finally locked, when the pinion leaves the rack, by a stop 28 carried by a resilient portion 29 of the lever 26. A pinion 43 on the former shaft now travels over a rack 30 on the part 3 so as to rotate the former and bend the plate by contact with a pair of spring-pressed rollers 7 and also spring-pressed cheeks 8 mounted in laterally-adjustable standards 9. The cheeks 8 are separated to avoid injurious braking action by a gear-wheel 31 on the shaft 43<1> engaging gear-wheels on shafts carrying cams 22 engaging pins on the standards, which are returned by springs. When the bending operation is completed, the stop 28 is disengaged by a stop 32 striking the lever 29, and the shaft 33<1> is reversed by the spring 27 to withdraw the lever 6. At the same time a roller 19 on a spring- pressed bar 17, connected to pivoted cheeks 18, moves off a cam surface 20 on the framing so as to allow the tin body to be clamped under the soldering-flame by the cheeks 18. When soldering is completed, screws 38 having recesses at one end, which are at this stage brought into engagement with projections on slides 11, are put into gear by bevel-wheels through a reversing-clutch operated by a cam 51, so that the standards 9 are separated by rolls 14 on the slides, and the tin body is ejected, by grooves 15 in the slides engaging projections 16, from the insertions 5, which are guided in dovetail grooves in the formers. To permit the separation of the standards, the shafts carrying the cams 22 are mounted in elongated grooves 22<1> in the standards.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Storing, Manipulating and Distributing Inflammable and other Liquids out of Contact with the Air.
Inventor: ROLLAND JEAN FRANCOIS

Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 27,001. Rolland, J. F., and MauclÞre, P. A. P. Nov. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Direct gas-pressure apparatus, non-automatic.- In a system of storing and distributing inflammable or other liquids in contact with an inert gas, the gas is always kept enclosed in the apparatus, and is at atmospheric pressure, except when receiving or delivering liquid. The pump C, Fig. 1, driven by the motor M, delivers gas by the pipe a to the compressed-gas reservoir B. The gas passes thence by the pipe b through the expansion valve m<2> to the storage reservoir A. The pipe c forms the return suction pipe. The pipe d transmits pressure from the reservoir A to a device which controls the motor M. Liquid is transferred to the reservoir from the tank E by the pipe f, and is delivered by another pipe g to the tank F. A pressure-controlled switch is described, which is connected to the pipe d, so that the motor M is started whenever the pressure in the reservoir A is greater than atmospheric, thus transferring gas from A to B. When it is desired to fill the reservoir A, this switch is closed by hand, the pressure in A being thus reduced, and liquid is siphoned from the tank E. Atmospheric pressure is then restored by admitting gas from B. In order to draw off liquid, the switch is opened by hand, thus rendering the pump inoperative, and compressed gas is admitted to the reservoir A from the storage vessel B. Liquid is thus forced through the pipe g to any suitable receptacle F. Atmospheric pressure is restored in the reservoir A by allowing the pressure-actuated switch to come into operation. Instead of the electric motor M and pump C, a hand-operated pump may be used, in which case the pressureoperated switch operates suitable valves in the suction and delivery pipes. Compressed-gas bottles G are provided to replace any gas deficiency. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the device H, Fig. 1, the object of which is to prevent access of air to the pipe f when the tank E is emptied. The float I, carrying an indicating-pointer x, rises as soon as the hand-wheel Q and finger 0 are operated to open valves N, J. The spring J<1> is too weak to close the valve J against the current of liquid. As soon as air begins to enter the vessel H, the float is observed to fall, and the valve J closes by its own weight and the force of the spring J', while the wheel Q is released so as to close the upper valve N.

Abstract: 21,349. Druce, B. H., [known as Druce, H.]. Sept. 27. Race games, mechanical.-In a race game, model horses are caused to travel along a board a at varying and different speeds by means of cords c<1> connected to a winding-drum e which has one or more removable bars j attached to it. Each bar has its outer edge of irregular outline, as shown, so that the cords c' are wound irregularly and it is impossible to foretell the winning horse. The drum is driven by a motor d, which is stopped when the feet of the winning horse strike a bar r. Courses of various lengths are used in the game, and in order that the cords c<1> may be suitable for all distances, they are wound on spring drums n which form part of the main winding-drum e. In a modification, different cords are used for different distances, and when not in use they are wound on spring drums arranged in traps below the board a. In order to determine the number and arrangement of the bars j to be used in a race, a pointer is set spinning on a dial 3, marked as shown. Similarly, the cord to which a horse is to be attached is determined by placing a card bearing the horse's name in a clip 2 on a disk 1 which rotates freely over a numbered dial.
