Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Bottling Sparkling Liquids.
Inventor: GREPPO AUGUSTE
IPC: B67C3/26
Filed: 1911-12-21
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 25,495. Greppo, A. Dec. 21, 1911. Bottling.-In an apparatus for bottling sparkling liquids, an air-outlet cock 7 is provided on the casing 2 of the draw-off cock 1 to enable the air contained in the bottles to be swept out by carbonic acid previous to the admission of the liquid. In operation, on turning the plug 1 by the handle 11, carbonic acid enters the bottle through the passages 12, 4, air escaping through the pipe 3 and passage 16 to the cock 7. Further movement of the plug opens the liquid port 9 to the pipe 3, the gas escaping during filling by the tube 4, chamber 14, passage 13, and a port (not shown) in the casing.

Abstract: 3562. Martin, L., and Nixey, G. Feb. 11. Monogrammic signals. -The switch drum 2 controlling the circuits of the lamps 56 of a monogrammic signal is actuated from a distance by means of electro-magnetic ratchet apparatus 6, 8. At the actuating- board, also shown in Fig. 3, depressions of the knob 37 rotate the disk 30 through the pawl 34, and cause the arm 33 to close contact between the springs 24, 25, thus completing the circuit of the magnet 8. The cam 37 and plate 32 are normally held in the position shown by the spring 46 and spring-catch 41, the catch being released by the collar 48 and the plate 32 then moved by the spring 39. The tumbler switch 16 must be closed to prepare the operating circuits, and when this switch is open the arm 20 connected with it obstructs the path of the rod 37 so that the catch 41 cannot be released. The switch 53 must also be closed to make the circuit for the lamps, and this switch is opened when moving the drum 2 from one position to another. The spring 31 holds the disk 30 in the position in which it is placed by the pawl 34. The apparatus is described as applied to indicating the number of the item in a theatre performance ; when numbers over 9 are to be shown a switch 51 is closed to illuminate, over the lead 79, the lamps of a special set for the numeral 1. The switch 50 is provided to illuminate a compartment showing the word " Extra " and the switch 52 one showing the word " Deputy."

Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 15,164. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. July 4, 1912, [Convention date]. Automatic exchange apparatus.-The contact sets for the bank contacts of telephone selectors are formed out of slotted sheets, in which the bars d left between the slots are inclined to the edges a, b of the sheets and form the connexions to the adjacent selectors, the contacts themselves being formed out of the edges a, b. Each sheet is folded about a strip of insulating-material c, Fig. 3, and the superposed edges are connected together by soldering or by rivets f, Fig. 5, the contacts g being then formed by stamping. By making the edges a, b of equal width the contacts g can be formed as knife contacts, or one of the edges may be reduced in width so that the contacts g are formed of a single thickness of the sheet. For contact sets in which there are contacts on each side, two sheets can be placed over each other with insulation between them, the cross-bars of the sheets being arranged to cross each other.

Title: Improvements in Combined and Inter-convertible Air Compressors and Air Motors.
IPC: F04B41/04
Filed: 1914-07-30
Granted: 1915-07-29
Abstract: 18,024. Marks, E. C. R., [Eidson, C. D., Crouse, D. E., and Davis, T.]. July 30. Cam gears; v a l v e spindles and valvespindle guides; s l i cl e valves, cylindrical and piston. - An interconvertible air compressor and motor, which may be used to start an automobile engine, has mechanically operated valves controlling the admission of air to the cylinders when the device is working as a motor, these valves being set for operation by the admission of air to the device. When the supply of compressed air ceases the valves are no longer so operated and the device acts as a compressor. The crankshaft 1, Fig. 2, has two pairs of pistons a, band c, d arranged in pairs 90‹ degrees apart and working in cylinders A, B, C, D, of which only two cylinders A, B, are used to compress air into a reservoir 25 through a pipe 24, Fig. 1, spring controlled inlet and outlet valves being provided. The cylinders have each a port a<1>, b<1>, c<1>, d<1>, which act as inlet and exhaust ports controlled by piston valves 18, 19, 20, 21 working in a closed casing 5 when the device is acting as a motor, and the ports a<1>, b<1> being closed by the valves 18, 19 when air is being compressed. The valves 18, 19 are carried by a shaft 17 to which is secured the closing head 16 of a cylinder 8 having its reduced end 7 passing through the end wall 6 of the casing and containing a piston 9, the stem 10 of which extends through the portion 7 and is connected with a bell-crank lever 11 disposed in the path of a spring-controlled push rod 13 operated by a cam 15 on the shaft 1. The valves 20, 21 are mounted on a rod 10<x> extending through the other end of the casing and connected with a bell-crank 11<x> governed by a cam 15<x> similar to the cam 15. The casing 5 is provided with exhaust ports 42, 43, 44. When the device is to act as a motor, a valve 26 in a pipe 27 is opened to admit air from the reservoir 25 through branch pipes 28, 29 to the spaces between the pistons 18, 19 and 20, 21. The air passes by means of a way 17<x> in the shaft 17 into the cylinder 18 to move the stem 10 of the piston 9 outwardly so that it may be operated by the push rod 13 to reciprocate the valves 18, 19. The stems 10, 10<x> are maintained in their outward positions by the admision of air to a cylinder 31, Figs. 1 and 3, to force apart plungers 32, 33 therein which, through springs 34, 35, act on arms 38, 39 connected with the levers 11, 11<x>. The valves 18, 19 are bevelled on one side to avoid ' lap,' but when the device works as a compressor, the full width of the valves is used to close the ports a<1>, b<1> necessitating the rotation of the valves.
