Title: Counting or registering device for paper money or similar objects in sheet form
IPC: G06M7/06
Filed: 1932-01-22
Abstract: 396,417. Counting-apparatus. VOGT, C., 21, Luisenstrasse, Berlin, and BRANDT, H., 38, Goetherstrasse, Breslau, both in Germany. Jan. 22, 1932, No. 1996. [Class 106 (i).] In apparatus for counting sheet articles such as paper money, the articles move along a path, and after the passage of a predetermined number, a deflector is electromagnetically released to prevent the passage of further articles. The articles are conveyed by a pair of driven bands 2 and close a switch 8 in the actuating circuit of a counter. A deflector 11 pivoted at 10 is released and falls to the position shown in broken lines after the required number of articles have passed. The deflectorcontrolling means are shown in released position in Fig. 3. Normally a projection 15 of the deflector 11 is engaged by a detent 14 engaged by another detent 16 pivoted to an extension 17 of an armature 18 pivoted at 19. A cam 24 driven from the counter 25 closes a switch 23 when the predetermined number is reached, whereupon the magnets 21 attract the armature 18 into the position shown and so release the deflector 11. The deflector is reset by hand, the detent 14 being able to engage the projection 15 before the magnets 21 are de-energized. When it is desired to alter the predetermined number, the gear ratio between the counter and the cam 24 is changed.

Abstract: 228,530. Labitte, P. Jan. 30, 1924, [Convention date]. Fluid-actuated gears.- In percussive hammers, drills, &c. the fluid is distributed by a valve 7 arranged at the end or on the side of the cylinder and which is reversed by the compression or on the release of the main cylinder.

Abstract: 782,521. Actuation of switches. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Jan. 26, 1955 [Jan. 26, 1954], No. 2378/55. Class 38 (5). A switch 9, which may be that of Specification 564,681, has an actuating member biased to a normal position and held in a second position by a spring member, until the latter is overcome by force applied by an operating member movable in response to changes in a physical condition. As shown, the switchactuating member 14 is normally urged downwards but is held in its upper full line position by a blade spring 17 mounted at 20 on an adjustable member 15. The other end of spring 17 engages the operating member 8 which is pivoted at 28 and is attached by a wire 7 to two weights 6 suspended in a liquid. As the liquid level rises and falls the apparent weight of the weights varies and hence the force applied to spring 17 by the member 8 is varied, so as to actuate the switch 9. In a modification (Fig. 4, not shown), the operating member is movable rectilinearly by a float and is held in a central position by a coil spring arranged in an opening in the operating member and compressed between spring seats which abut the ends of the opening and the parts 11, 24 of the base.

Title: Apparatus for breaking or scutching hemp and other like fibrous materials
IPC: D01B1/14
Filed: 1921-01-18
Abstract: 158,263. Swynghedauw, P. E. G. Jan. 20, 1920, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Breaking and scutching apparatus.-Hemp and like material is treated by a series of reciprocating breakers g and is carried through them by an endless transporter which moves intermittently and which rises to free the materials from the blades of the lower breakers, and at the end of its forward movement falls to the bottom of the blades of the lower breakers. The material is fed into the machine by a belt b and is gripped and fed forward by rollers c star shaped in section and geared together, the upper one being depressed by a spring c<2>. It is then treated by a pair of crushing rollers d, d<1>, the upper one sliding in vertical guides and being pulled down by a spring d<4> connected to a forked piece d<6> which can be adjusted to tension the spring by nuts d<7>. The material is then passed to a. rotary scutcher e and anvil e<2>, the blades e<1> of the scutcher being adjustable to vary the treatment. It then falls on to the transporter f comprising transverse bars secured to endless chains f<l>. The transporter is carried in a frame i which can be moved in vertical guides by cams j. The forward motion is obtained by a ratchet k operated by a spring pawl k<1> having a tail k<2> which is engaged at each revolution of the cam j by an arm j<2> rotating with the cam. The breakers comprise upper and lower jaws g<1>, g<4> with blades g. The lower jaws rest on rubber &c. pads g<5>, and the upper ones are reciprocated in vertical guides g<2> by eccentrics h<1>. Blades l strip the material from the upper jaws as they rise. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also an arrangement in which the transporter is maintained in one horizontal plane and is provided with cross members only in the free spaces between the breakers. The transporter in this case moves forward intermittently from one free space to the next, the material being gripped and held so that it moves only from the free space to the adjacent breaker. The transporter may also be separated into a number of units, one for each breaker. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 110,474. Garin (nÚe Bailly), M. V. March 2, 1917. Metals, depositing; electrodes, supporting and moving; treating surfaces; electrolytes, circulating.-In apparatus of the rotary-disk type, the electrodes of one polarity are conically recessed on each face, Fig. 3, so that the distance between the electrodes of opposite polarities decreases from the axis outwards, and the current density at any radius does not exceed the limiting value for obtaining compact metal at the particular speed at that radius. With cathode disks of 80 cm. diameter, distant by 1 cm. at the periphery from the anodes, a speed of 100 revolutions per minute and a peripheral current density of 4 amperes per sq. dcm. are suitable. In one form of apparatus, anodes 2 of carbon, lead, fused magnetite, &c., each made in one piece or built up from flat rings of different internal diameters, are bevelled or otherwise reduced at the outer edges to prevent excessive deposition on the edges of the cathodes. The anodes are also provided with central holes and with vertical slots 5 for allowing removal of the shaft 3 carrying the cathode disks 4. These are clamped between collars and nuts, and the shaft 3 has at one end a tongue and slot coupling with an alined driving-shaft. In the gaps 5 in the anodes 2 soft rubbers 9, made for instance of insolubilized skins, are reciprocated by cranks to remove hydrogen bubbles. The shaft and bearings. when liable to attack, may be arranged above the surface of the liquid. The anodes are then of nearly semicircular form, and the rubbers are placed horizontally above the cell. Agitation of the electrolyte may be aided by blowing in air. The electrodes may be separated by diaphragms secured by battens to wooden frames, the electrolyte circulating first through all the cathode compartments in turn and through intermediate passages in the frames, and then through all the anode compartments.

Title: Improvements in machines for the continuous grinding and polishing of plates of glass
IPC: B24B7/24
Filed: 1924-02-06
Abstract: 233,415. Pilkington Bros., Ltd., and Taylor, R. F. Feb. 6, 1924. Flat extended surfaces, surfacing and polishing.-In continuous grinding and polishing apparatus for glass plates, having a series of tables which move through the, machine with their adjacent ends in contact, or with the ends out of contact, the lines of intersection of the end surfaces with the upper surfaces of the tables are longer than the width of the tables, whereby risk of fracture of glass plates resting upon more than one. table is minimized. Fig. 2 shows a form which the end surfaces may take, the lines 3, 4 of intersection of the end surfaces with the upper surface being longer than the width x of the tables. The line of junction may be of curved form, or may be such that the tables have rectangular projections at their ends. The form of the end surfaces also serves as an interlocking means preventing relative lateral movement of the tables. In Fig. 6 is shown a form which is applicable more especially to tables which do not contact at their adjacent ends. In Fig. 4 is shown a form in which contact between the table is over a portion only of the end surfaces 5, 6.
