Abstract: 24,529. Ringius, C. Nov. 5. Beer &c., drawing off.-In order to reduce froth in serving beer or the like, the liquid is passed through an intermediate vessel e connected by the screw a direct to the barrel or to a pipe therefrom. The vessel is fitted with a plugcock having an air passage f, in constant communication with the tube g, and inlet and outlet passages d, k with ports c, j. When the cock is in the position shown in Fig. 1, liquid enters through the pipe b and fills the vessel e. When the cock is turned to the opposite position, liquid runs out through the channel h, port j, and passage f into the glass. By raising and lowering the glass, still keeping the end p of the outlet tube beneath the surface of the liquid, the pressure in the vessel e can be varied and frothing of the liquid controlled. A modified construction of valve is shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The ports c, j are no longer in the same vertical line, the channel h is in a different position, and a further channel is provided through which liquid may be drawn direct from the pipe b.

In the apparatus for taking the pictures, all the mechanism is mounted on a plate a provided with an aperture a<1>. The disk s, Fig. 6, has a spiral series of holes, the intervals between which are equal to the travel of the operating-stud b. The intermittent rotation is obtained by giving the stud b a rectilinear reciprocating motion through a slide b<3>, a connecting-rod b<4>, and a crank disk c ; a cam c' presses the stud into the perforations during the motion in one direction. The translation of the disk is obtained by giving the stud b a slight motion at right-angles to this previous motion through an inclined groove a<2>. The crank disk c is carried on a shaft d, which is driven from a shaft g through a wheel f, pawl f<1>, and ratchet g<1>. To the driving-shaft g is also attached one end of a spiral spring, the other end of which is hooked on to a fixed pillar h ; a a key i is used for winding-up the spring. The toothed wheel f also operates through a loose sleeve k a centrifugal governor j, which engages frictionally with a fixed shaft a<3> when a sufficiently high speed is reached. The sleeve k also carries a disk k<2>, on which a brake lever m can act when the movement of the stud is to be stopped. During the period of movement, a lever m is held back by a pawl n engaging with a projection m<3> ; the release of this pawl is effected by a disk o, which rotates once while the disk s is fully traversed once and operates on the pawl by a stud o<2>. Each disk s is mounted in a sheath t, fig. 6, and a clip t<1> engages the portion to be exposed through a gap t<2> ; a slide t<3> engages with a gudgeon s<2>, to guide the disk as it is moved by the stud b. A somewhat similar device is used for exhibiting the pictures obtained, means being provided for returning the disk to its original position at the end of the travel. When the pictures are arranged in circles, the slide a<2> is not inclined.
