Title: Coin freed apparatus for delivering liquids
IPC: G07F13/02
Filed: 1930-07-25
Abstract: 358,176. Coin-freed liquid-dispensing apparatus. KONIECZNY, J., 18, Derfflingerstrasse, Berlin. July 25, 1930, No. 22471. [Classes 27 and 106 (v).] A coin-freed apparatus for delivering varying quantities of petrol comprises a measuring chamber 38 adapted to be filled by a pump 2 through pipes 3, 4, 76, to a level determined by overflow pipes 41 connected to a return pipe 42 by a four-way cock 31. This cock is actuated by a hand-operated shaft 63 carrying an index pointer 18 which is moved over a scale to a position corresponding to the required delivery. A lever 19 on the shaft moves a pointer 25 mounted on a slidable sleeve 67 so as to indicate the quantity of petrol to be delivered. At the same time a lever 21 adjusts the position of a solenoid 23 mounted on a sleeve 69 slidable on a rod 22. When the solenoid 23 is excited by inserting a coin, its spring-controlled core 16 is attracted and through an extension 16A raises a lever 60 whereby a circuit is closed through contacts 14, 15, and a motor 1, which drives the pump 2, is started. A circuit is then completed through contacts 27, 29, by means of a pin 84 on an extension 71 of the core 16 and a solenoid 28 is excited. The core 75 is then pulled upwards and through a lever 34 actuates a three-way cock 33 so as to connect the pipe 76 to the pipe 4. The chamber 38 is then filled to a level determined by the pipes 41. The cock 35 is now opened and the petrol is delivered through a pipe 77 and hose 78, the latter being provided with a self-closing cock to prevent petrol passing over when the receiving tank is full. When the extension 71 is raised it winds up by means of a lever 73, a clockwork mechanism 30, the running down of which determines the time of return of the cores 16, 75. A pointer 26 serves as a check for the operation of this mechanism. The chamber 38 is provided with a ventilating valve 39. Any petrol vapour that mav accumulate is forced outside of the machine by a fan 80. Coin action, weight and with delivery propo?'- tionate to value of coin.-The apparatus is adapted to receive coins of three different values, a lever 20 on the shaft 63 moving a slide 5 until a slot 5A therein lies over the appropriate coin channel 6. The coin falls down a channel 6A and tilts a lever 51 to close contacts 55, 8, and excite the solenoid 23 by way of contacts 12, 13. Returning coin.-After a coin is inserted a pivoted flap 11 is moved by the lever 60 into the coin channel 6 to divert any further coins to a return shoot 59. A pivoted flap 10 may be moved across the channel 6A by a spring-controlled pin 57 when the machine is out of order so as to divert coins to the return shoot 59. Ticket printing and like apparatus.-When the solenoid 23 is adjusted by the lever 21 on the shaft 63 the type matter of a card printer 32 is set by means of a rack 24 and pinion 70, a card giving the quantity supplied being delivered on depressing a lever.

IPC: A01K73/02
Filed: 1923-09-06
Abstract: 216,418. Marty, A. E. Sept. 6, 1923. Trawling-gear.-Panels 5, 6, inclined so as to produce horizontal and d vertical spread of the mouth of the net 1 are secured by the lower rear angles to the ends of the upper bolt rope 2 of the net and the upper rear angles are connected together by a rope 9 parallel to the upper bolt rope to which there may be secured flexible sustaining-planes 20. These may have a central stiffening member. The towing ropes 18", 19" each have two branches; one is attached to a weight 11, 12 at the end of the lower bolt rope, to which also the forward lower corner of the panel is connected by a rope 13. This branch serves as the main tractive cable. The other branch 16, 17 is secured to the inner side of the panel. In place of the sustaining planes 20, triangular pieces of canvas may be secured to the inner surface of the net, the base of the triangle being attached to the upper bolt rope. The panels are provided with a number of floats, preferably glass vessels, held in chambers formed by planks secured to a wooden frame as described in Specification 210,439. Alternatively, the glass floats 81 may be held in place in the panel by washers 82 of wood held by wires as shown in Fig. 7. In order to permit easy handling of the gear and avoid twisting of the double branches of the towing cables, the main cable 60 is shackled to a swivel 68 which is either mounted directly on a spreader bar 63 or is connected to a looped rope 66 passing through eyes on the spreader bar, as shown in Fig. 6; the ends of this rope 66 being shackled to the double branch cables. It is thus easy to release the spreader bars and secure the cable 60 either to both branches or, if preferred, to the lower branch only for hauling the net aboard.

Title: Coarse and fine control for position servo
IPC: G05D3/14
Filed: 1973-05-11
Abstract: 1423706 Automatic control of position INFORMATION STORAGE SYSTEMS Inc 11  May 1973 [21 Aug 1972] 22547/73 Heading G3N A servo system which positions a magnetichead 15, Fig. 1, over a selected one of several data tracks on a rotating disc 10 has coarse and fine modes of operation. Associated with disc 10 is a servo disc 11 bearing reference tracks corresponding in position to the data tracks on disc 10. Disc 11 is traversed by a head 16 which is moved together with head 15 by head positioning means 17. As the head 16 moves across the disc towards a desired track it produces a coarse signal as in Fig. 2B which enables the number of tracks crossed to be found. The signal is fed via boxes 19,24 in Fig. 1 to a counter 21 where the number of tracks crossed is subtracted from the number to be crossed before a desired 40 track is reached. When the count indicates zero denoting the passage of the last track proceeding the desired track, a circuit including a tacho-meter 34 and an integrator 35 is enabled to produce a velocity signal, Fig. 2C, which is integrated, Fig. 20, to give a fine position signal representing the position of the head between tracks 029 and 030. When this integrated signal reaches a reference value E set in servo mode detector 22, Fig. 1, the servo 23 is switched from its coarse to a fine mode where it responds to the fine signal and is able to lock on to the desired track 030 without overrun. The system may include a known feature whereby at a plurality of tracks before the desired track (track 27 as illustrated in Fig. 2C). The head movement may be slowed. U.S.A. Specification 3458785 is referred to for an example of a servo system which has coarse and fine modes of operation.

Inking-apparatus.-In a rotary printing- machine each forme cylinder 18, Fig. 3 which may have a gap 22 between the printing-plates, is inked by means of rollers 28 movable into and out of contact with an ink-distributing cylinder 25 and the cylinder 18, and the distributing cylinder 25 works in conjunction with a similar cylinder 26 with which are associated other distributing rollers 30, 31, which are also capable of being moved into and out of contact with the cylinders 25, 26. These cylinders are supplied with ink in known manner and are reciprocated axially. The distributing rollers are mounted in ball bearings 33 which are mounted so as to be capable of a slight axial movement against spring pressure to prevent drag on the cylinders 25, 16, and the transverse movement of the distributing rollers 28, 30, 31 into and out of contact with the cylinders 18, 25, 26 is controlled by pivoted cam members 82, 82a, 83, and 85 which are pivoted at 86 to the machine frame, are provided with curved surfaces 90, 91, 92 in which the bearing surfaces are supported, and are controlled by sliding supporting rollers 76 having a yielding connection with a vertically movable rod 61, Fig. 4, which has a limited movement axially under control of a screw-and-nut mechanism driven by a worm wheel 63 and a worm operated by a hand-crank 70, or by electric motors under the control of switches. The cam surfaces 92, 91, 90 are shaped so as to cause the distributing rollers to press evenly on the cylinders with which they co-operate. When the gaps 22 in the cylinder 18 pass the forme rollers 28 the movement of the rollers into the gaps is prevented by stops 93, 106 carried by levers 95, 105 which are controlled by nuts 101, 111, adjustable to determine the limit to which the rollers 28 can move. The nut 101 is adjustable on a threaded link 97 pivoted to lever 95 and passing through a fixed lug 100 against which the nut 101 is held by a spring 102 which prevents backlash and allows adjustment for wear. In modifications the distributing rollers are fitted with rider rollers either one or two rollers to each distributing roller, and these rider rollers are mounted in adjustable pivoted frames, or in sliding yokes. They are arranged to engage the distributing rollers while these are in operative position, and to be moved away from the distributing rollers when these are tripped. The rider rollers in some cases can engage the distributing cylinders and move axially therewith, and their tripping movement may be effected by auxiliary cams on the shafts 86 of the cams which control the movements of the distrihuting or forme-inking rollers.
