Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 15,476. McComb, J. S. July 21. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Filing papers &c.-To facilitate the insertion of leaves in an indexed looseleaf binder having sectional posts, some or all of the sections are provided with a plate, preferably circular, so that by disconnecting the sections just below any one of the plates, a large portion of the leaves can be removed intact on the plate. The sections 6 are secured together by screws 7, and are provided with plates 16 which may be indexed to agree with the index 5. The plates may be loose on the screws 7, or may be secured to, or formed integral with, the sections 6. To form a hand hold to facilitate unscrewing, some or all of the sections may be provided with arms 14, or short screws 10 having arms 13 may be inserted between the sections. Part of the plates may be cut away so that no portion extends beyond the rear of the leaves. The plates may be of increasing diameter from the top of the binder to the bottom, as shown in Fig. 8, or may be cut away in part, so that the index letters thereon may be easily visible.

Title: Process and Device for Dispensing Liquids Under Pressure.
Inventor: JAHR OTTO
IPC: B67D1/14
Filed: 1911-08-11
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 18,217. Jahr, O. Aug. 11. Dispensing liquids. -For regulating the delivery velocity of liquids under pressure, the cross-section of a passage is regulated through which passes an uncompressible liquid separated from the dispensed liquid by a movable partition, this liquid transmitting the pressure acting on it to the dispensed liquid or to the separating medium. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus for delivering beer without reduction of pressure on the cask and without excessive frothing, consisting of two hemispheres a, b separated by an elastic diaphragm d. The lower chamber is filled with water and has a cock e connecting- to an air-pressure chamber, while the upper one has a two-way cock f connecting the cask pipe h and the chamber, or the outlet pipe i. With the plug in the position shown, the beer enters and forces the diaphragm to the lower wall. The cock f is then turned, and the air presses the water back into the chamber and the beer through the outlet. The velocity is regulated by the position of the cock e. The cock f is provided with a manometer k to show whether the chamber is full or empty. Two vessels may be combined as shown in Fig. 5, the cock g being provided with opposite grooves l to connect alternately the vessels with the supply and delivery pipes, one chamber being filled while the other is being emptied. The air chamber may be dispensed with, the pressure medium being forced out of one chamber into the other. It is still connected, however, in Fig. 5, though not for normal use, the plug e normally connecting with a pipe m provided with a cock. To deliver smaller quantities of beverage, both vessels are filled with water under pressure through the pipe m, and then a measured amount is drawn off, an equal amount of beverage entering a chamber. After shutting-off the pipe m, the apparatus dispenses this quantity at each operation. On opening the cock e to the air chamber, cold water therefrom will displace the warm water in the chamber. For dispensing mixtures, such as fruit juices with aerated water, two devices, one for the juice and the other for the water, are arranged in parallel on either side of the cock, the plug of which is grooved to connect the passages for the two liquids to the delivery pipe, and to offer separate supply passages for each.
