Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Cash Check Tills.
Inventor: BLATZ JOSEPH
Filed: 1909-09-03
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 20,239. Blatz, J. Sept. 3, 1908, [Convention date]. Tills. - In autograph cash tills in which the record strip is advanced by means of the opening and closing of the drawer, the tendered cash is kept separate when inserted, and, together with the entry on the strip, is exposed to the customer's view on the opening of the drawer and returned on the subsequent closing thereof, whereon the tendered coins fall into the cash drawer. The case a of the till has a series of slots b therein in which different denominations of coins tendered are placed, so that they fall into the proper compartments c<2> of an upper drawer c. The till drawer d is below the drawer c and has similar compartments d', the drawers being connected by flexible steel bands e or the like passing over pulleys e<1> by means of which, when the till drawer is pulled out, the drawer d is moved under a window f at the back of the till so that the coins tendered are exhibited to the customer, the window having marked divisions corresponding to the compartments. The opening of the drawer d also causes the bevelled end of a flange g, Fig. 8, to move over the lower end h<3> of a lever h, the upper end of which moves a plate l to close the slots b. The flange g is slotted, and, as the drawer is moved out, a lever n is pressed into the slot by a spring in the casing acting on a cam o<1> fixed on the lever shaft o, which shaft is thus turned, a further turning movement being given when the shoulder m<1> operates the arm n, which is thus turned through 180 degrees. The shaft o gears with wheel p<3> on a shaft which carries a rotary casing p, in which is mounted the record strip p<1> and its appurtenances. The casing is thus turned to exhibit the record on the strip to the customer. On closing the till drawer to finish the transaction, the record casing is rotated to its original position, and the coin exhibiting drawer is returned. The bottom of this drawer consists of two hinged pieces s normally held up by springs, but in the closing of the drawer, the lever h, which is now resting against the shoulder k, comes in the path of a roller r<2> on one arm of a bell-crank lever r, the other arm of which is thereby pressed up, as shown in Fig. 6, to tilt the hinged bottom pieces against their springs and to so allow the coins to fall from the compartments of the drawer c into the corresponding compartments of the drawer a. Before another transaction can take place, the lever h must be returned by the attendant, thereby opening the slots b.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Coin Freed Mechanism for Electricity Meters.
Inventor: HIBBERD CHARLES EDWIN
IPC: G07F15/00
Filed: 1909-06-23
Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 30,093. Hibberd, C. E. June 23. Switches, quick-action. - In prepayment attachments for electricity meters a switch is closed by a spring member released by the prepayment device, and is afterwards opened by a throw-off spring which acts in two steps under the control of the meter mechanism. After prepayment a hand-operated spindle g and a wheel 6 geared to a disk 8 are rotated, the consequent oscillation of a pawl 27, which prevents back motion of the disk 6, removing a pin 31 from a stop 30 on a lever 28. A spring 29 bearing on a pin 32, which works in a slot 33 in the framework and on which an arm 36 is frictionally mounted, then throws the lever 28 into the position shown in Fig. 5, the nose 41 of the arm 36 simultaneously depressing the extremity 40 of the switch-arm, thereby closing the circuit through contacts 19, Figs. 2 and 3<a>. The nose 41 passes out of the path of the extremity 40 of the switch-arm, a pin 38 on the arm 36 working in a cam-slot 39 in the frame. An arm on the spindle g engages a projection 44 on the lever 28 and returns that lever and the arm 36 to the initial position. The closing of the switch shifts a sliding spindle 12, and carries a spring 10 upon an arm 11 thereon out of a notch in the disk 8 which is rotated by the prepayment mechanism. The meter mechanism causes the arm 11 and pin 10 to follow after the disk, and, when the pin comes opposite the notch, the switch is opened by its throw-off spring. Just prior to entering the notch 9 the pin 10 enters a shallow depression 15 in the disk 8, thereby lowering the switch-arm to contacts 21, Figs. 2 and 3<a>, closing the circuit through a resistance 23 to effect the dimming of the lamps.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Forming Wire Drawing Dies or Plates.
IPC: B21C3/18
Filed: 1910-03-08
Granted: 1911-03-08
Abstract: 5842. Turnbull, N. K., and British Steel and Wire Co. March 8. Forging; forging-punches.-In a machine for expanding or swaging circular, oval, square, rectangular, or other shaped holes in wiredrawing dies or plates of the type in which the die-holder is mounted on a rising and falling carrier and is vibrated against a stationary punch, the die-holder is vibrated in relation to the carrier only when the latter is approaching or has arrived at its uppermost position. The die B is held by springs b<2>, b<3> on an anvil b fixed in a holder b<1> slidably mounted in a carrier b<4>, which is reciprocated in guides by a cam b<5> on a low speed shaft b<7> connected by spur gearing to the main shaft b<9>. The bearings of the shaft b<7> are arranged close to the faces of the cam b<5>, to prevent bending of the shaft. The holder b<1> is connected to the carrier b<4> by screws b<10> and interchangeable bushes b<11>, Fig. 1<b>, and is normally held in its raised position by springs. When the carrier approaches its uppermost position under the punch C, the holder b<1> is pressed into its lower position by a spring b<13> on the frame, and a projection b<16> on a lever b<14>, which is pivoted at b<15> to the carrier and is continuously oscillated by a connecting-rod b<18> and crank, engages a projection b<17> on the holder b', which is thus vibrated. The punch is carried by a spindle c, rotatably mounted in a non-rotary threaded sleeve, which is fed vertically a distance indicated by a gauge on the frame, to suit different sizes of die-openings, by an internally threaded worm-wheel c<3> rotated by a worm and bevel-gear from a hand wheel c<6>. When swaging circular holes, the punch is intermittently rotated to correct for wear or imperfect shape of the punch by a ratchet-wheel c<8>, keyed to the spindle c and operated by a ratchet lever c<12> connected by a link to an arm c<15> fixed on a shaft c<16>; the shaft c<16> is oscillated by a cam on the shaft b<9> engaging a pin on an arm c<17>. According to the Provisional Specification, the parts of the machine which effect the expanding operation are supported by a rigid frame in relation to which they are put in compression, being thus prevented from any deflexion or bending action.

Title: Improvements in Nut-locks.
Inventor: GILARDONI JOSEPH MARCEL HENRI
IPC: F16B39/32
Filed: 1910-04-15
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 9179. Gilardoni, J. M. H. April 15. Locking nuts.-A nut is locked to a bolt by a friction pawl c, Fig. 1, having the form of the involute of a circle. The involute curve is practically replaceable b y the arc of a circle drawn with centre o<1>, Fig. 1, and radius o<1>, y, o' being the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the axis of rotation o of the pawl to the radial line x y, through the point of contact of the pawl with the bolt. The pawl is pressed against the bolt by a spring d, or by the elasticity of the pivot pin f, Fig. 2, which is thickened at f<1> and is prevented from turning by bending its end g into a recess. The pawl may have a double chamfer to engage the threads of the bolt as shown in Fig. 2. To release the pawl when the nut is to be unscrewed, the pawl may have a projection for engagement with a tool, which is inserted either between the projection and the bolt, or in a hole j, Fig. 13, in the nut; or a bevelled extension on the pawl may project beyond the edge of the nut and be engaged by a spanner. The throw of the pawl may be limited by a projection loosely fitting into the hole j. The pawl may be composed of wire, which may be a continuation of the pivot pin f. The end of the wire may be bent down into the hole j, Fig. 13, or may be continued as shown at n to encircle the bolt in order to limit the play of the pawl. In a modification, the end n of the wire pawl is turned down into a hole in the nut and acts as a spring to hold the pawl in engagement with the bolt, the pawl being released by removing the end of the wire from the hole. Fig. 17 shows a modification in which the pawl c is held either against or away from the bolt by a U-shaped plate spring engaging a notch r in the pivot f, the pawl being turned to effect its release by a screwdriver inserted in a cross-cut u.

Title: Improvements in Gyroscopic Transmission Apparatus.
Inventor: FLEUX JEAN
IPC: F16H33/10
Filed: 1910-03-26
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 6424. Fieux, J. March 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic apparatus.-In power-transmission mechanism of the kind in which a gyroscope provides an automatic variable-speed gear, the gyroscope is mounted so that its axis is oscillated by the driving - shaft. The oscillating movements due to the resulting gyroscopic action are converted by a ratchet &c. into impulses in one direction. The gyroscope 1 is supported in bearings in a frame 2, one end of which is supported loosely upon a pin 3 upon a crank 4 upon a driving-shaft 5. The other end of the frame 2 is connected by a universal joint 7 to a shaft 6 in line with the shaft 5. The gyroscope 1 is kept rotating by suitable means, such as an electric motor or friction gearing. The effect of the tendency of the crank 4 to oscillate the axis of the wheel 1 is to drive the shaft 6 alternately backwards and forwards. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a detent 9 renders one of these movements ineffective. A shaft 11 is driven by successive impulses from the shaft 6 in one direction through a ratchet 12. If the load on the shaft 11 becomes excessive, or if a brake 10 is applied, the shaft 5 is not stopped, an effect useful with internal-combustion and electric motors. In a modification, provision is made for altering the inclination of the frame supporting the gyroscope. Reversed driving of the shaft 11 may be obtained by the use of two oppositely-acting ratchets.
