Title: Improvements in Prepayment Electricity Meters.
IPC: G07F15/00
Filed: 1910-02-10
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 3250. Sprague, W. S., and Chamberlain & Hookham. Feb. 10. Switches. - In prepayment attachments for electricity meters a switch lever M<1>, normally held in the circuit-open position by a pin F<1> on a wheel E, is allowed to drop into mercury cups L upon prepayment. The wheel is driven back by means of a spring and a ratchet' escapement F, I, K, operated by the meter mechanism K'. A pin R on the wheel E engages and passes a spring member R<1> on the lever M<1>, thus momentarily opening the circuit prior to its final interruption by the action of the pin F<1>. In a modification, Fig. 6, a pin T<11> on a wheel E raises an auxiliary weighted lever V to the position shown during the circuit-closing operation. A member S<11> operated by the meter mechanism throws the lever V over prior to the final interruption of the circuit to cause a momentary interruption as before. Contacts.-The mercury-contact cups of the switch are constructed, as shown in Fig. 4, to prevent spilling. The dipper M is provided with an enlargement inside the cup to prevent splashing through the opening, and a block of amalgamated copper V is provided in the bottom of the cup.

Title: Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Separating Pulp Fibres from Pigments and other Impurities, such as are present in Waste Papers.
Inventor: PETSCHE BISMARCK WILLIAM
IPC: D21D5/04
Filed: 1910-04-26
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 10,229. Petsche, B. W. April 26. Pulp, preparation of. - In the recovery of pulp from waste papers, such as newspapers, books, &c., the material is disintegrated in the usual way in the beating- engine, soaked for about two hours in an alkaline solution containing 1 part of caustic soda in 1,000 parts of water, and then pumped into a trough A, whence it flows on to a coarse screen E under slanting streams of water from nozzles a, the inclination of which may be adjusted. The coarse stock and foreign coarse substances flow over the screen E to a gutter and are delivered to a settling-tank D. The pulp passes through the screen and is conveyed to the fine screen F. Under the action of similar nozzles b, the impurities, such as particles of ink, pigments, size, filler, &c., are separated from the fibre and are drawn through the screen and collect in the bottom of the trough C from which they pass out through the opening c into the trough D. The purified pulp is carried over and collected in the trough I. To regulate the rate of flow of the pulp, and therefore its purity, the screen F is hinged at y and may be raised or lowered by chains p to alter its inclination. The water pipe W<1> is hinged at Z, and its inclination may be altered to correspond by chains p'. The clarified water from the tank D can be used again for the beating-engine. The pulp recovered by this process may be used for print papers, pulp boards, the surfacing of chip and straw boards, and combination and coated boards.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Counting and Wrapping Up Definite Numbers of Coins of the same Denomination.
Inventor: HOCHGUERTEL PETER
IPC: G07D9/06
Filed: 1910-04-29
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 10,586. Hochg³rtel, P. April 29. Coin-handling appliances.-In a coin-packing machine the coins, which are all of one denomination, are separated from bulk, counted in definite numbers, and deposited in paper tubes. The coins pass from the storage receptacle to a shoot 2, Fig. 2, which is curved, ribbed, and of greater diameter than the coins to prevent sticking. From the shoot 2, they fall through a tube 3 on to a disk 5, which has a number of holes arranged round it, each hole taking a single coin. The disk has a stepby-step motion which is stopped when the tube is empty or a coin C, Fig. 7, falls edgewise by means of a forked and counterweighted lever 8. A simple counting-apparatus, with spur-wheels to show the units and a nut with a pointer worked by a screw to show the tens, is geared to the disk 5. Each step of the disk 5 allows a coin to fall into the paper tube 18, which is closed up and discharged by other mechanism.

Abstract: 1509. Griffiths, D. M. Jan. 20. Rolling.-The jaws of a guide-box for a rolling-mill are closed on to the bar to centre it by wedge mechanism operated by the front of the bar in its passage through the box. The box carries a fixed adjustable jaw 14 and a wedge-operated jaw 15, and is guided by lugs 9 on bolts 6 and by guides 5. A lever 35 is lifted by the front of the bar, and this lever through toggle mechanism operates the wedge 42 and releases a catch 26 and so allows the box to move forward against the action of a weight, a spring 39 returning the lever to its initial position. An intermediate support 23 guides the end of the bar at its insertion but falls out of action as the box moves forward.
