Title: Improvements in Automatic Vending Apparatus.
Inventor: VILBONNET GERAUD
IPC: G07F11/58
Filed: 1910-07-02
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 15,896. vilbonnet, G. July 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Sale apparatus ; exhibiting moving pictures and the like. - Picture post cards, photographs, &c. are contained in cases 4 hinged together to form an endless chain 3, which passes over guiderollers and is rotated by an external handle 6 to bring each case in turn behind a viewing - aperture, in which position the topmost card may be obtained by the insertion of a coin and the rotation of a second handle 28. A cam 8 on the spindle of the handle 6 rocks a lever 9 which bears on a spring-controlled block 12 on a rod 13, a pawl on the block engaging a projection 17 on the back of each case. Delivery mechanism.-The topmost card of the selected case is withdrawn by means of india-rubber suckers 24, 24<1> carried by a plate 23 attached to a spring-controlled rod 21, which slides in guides 18 on a carriage 19, there being a separate delivery mechanism for each vertical band of cases. A coin having been inserted, the rotation of a member 29 by the handle 28 depresses a spring-controlled lever 31, which is pivoted between the cheeks of that member, so that a pin 34 enters a guide-slot 36 and passes beneath a flange 37 on the framework, and also enters a slot 39 in a cam 27, thereby coupling the cam to the external handle. The rotation of the cam moves forward the slide 19 owing to the co-operation of a projection 26, thereby bringing the suckers into engagement with the topmost card. When the projection 26 escapes from the cam, springs 22 return the slide 19, the card being removed from the suckers and passing to the purchaser. At the completion of the ro'tation, a spring 32 restores the lever 31. Coin action, thrust.-The coin 40<1>, resting in a shoot 40 on a projection 42 of a lever 43, forms an abutment for the lever 31. A boss 46 on the cam 27 trips the extremity 45 of the lever 43, permitting the coin to escape.

Inventor: HERZOG HARTWIG
IPC: C14B1/44
Filed: 1910-08-31
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 20,308. Herzog, H., and Loeser, L. Aug. 31. Polishing and waxing machines.-Consists in a device for intermittently feeding wax to leather-sleeking drums. The heated sleeking- drum 1, having waxing ribs of various widths adapted to receive the wax stick 17, carries an eccentric 2 for rotating the wax-feeding shaft 9 by means of an oscillating arm 4 and pawl 5. The shaft carries a disk 10 having a flat portion 11 and a tongue 12, as shown in Fig. 3. The wax-box 16 is supported in a fixed guide 15 and has an extension 18 which projects through a slot in the guide and rests on the disk 10. Pivoted on the extension 18 is an arm 19, weighted at one end 20 and bearing at the other end against the wax-stick so as to prevent it from sliding through the box. When the flat 11 on the disk comes under the projection 18, the wax-box descends and the tongue 12 lifts the arm 19, thereby allowing wax to be rubbed off the stick by the drum. Further rotation lowers the locking-arm 19 and raises the box 16 and stick 17. The feed may be stopped by raising the pawl 5. The arm 13, which carries the wax-box &c., may be locked in the framing 7 by means of a pin 23 so as to wax any pair of ribs on the drum, and it is linked to the shaft 9 by an arm 21 and thrust-rings 22 so as to move the disk 10 simultaneously with the box. By loosening the screw 8 and sliding the shaft 9 through the hub of the ratchet-wheel 6, the wax-stick may be transferred from one groove to another.

Abstract: 2624. Coutant, R., and Salmson, E. J. J. Feb. 1. Rammers; scarifiers; surface - smoothing machines.-Relates to road rammers of the kind in which a number of hammers are raised by power to the desired height and then automatically released s o that they fall by gravity on the road surface, and consists in mounting, on a suitable vehicle, a series of hammers with turned-up front edges, which hammers are given angular movements about an horizontal axis by the elevating-mechanism. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of the rear end of a locomotive fitted with a series of beaters a pivotally mounted on a shaft b and connected by metal bands c to blocks g', Fig. 4, which carry hooks g engaging with grooves e', e<2> in a wheel e continuously rotated by suitable gearing connected with the engine. Spaced within the grooves e', e<2> are pins f<1>, which operate successively upon the hooks g to raise the beaters until rollers g<3> on the blocks g<1> engage eccentric parts of cam grooves h in fixed frames h<1> and bring about the automatic release of the hooks g from the pins f. Rectangular plates d, recessed into one another and curved up at the front and rear ends, form the beating-surfaces, and the motion of the locomotive, during the periods of rest afforded by the spacing of the pins f<1>, causes a smoothing action on the road surface. The height through which the beaters are raised is roughly adjusted by inserting a stirrup j' into one or other of the holes a<3>, but a finer adjustment is obtained by moving the frames h<1> by means of a lever h<4>. Fig. 9 shows the beater converted into a scarifier by the addition of teeth u, which are driven into the road at each fall of the hammer frame.

Filed: 1912-10-17
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 23,775. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 17. Leading-in wires; residual gases. - A composite wire, having the same aggregate expansion as the vitreous material into which it is sealed, consists of a base-metal core sheathed in a metal of which the oxide is easily soluble in the vitreous material. Such wires can be sealed in without special precautions. The core may consist of tungsten, molybdenum, or an alloy of 54 parts of iron and 46 parts of nickel, and the coating may be of copper, cobalt, or an alloy of the two, these parts respectively having smaller and larger expansion-coefficients than lead glass, such as is used for incandescent lamps, vapour electric lamps, rectifiers, &c. A tungsten wire of 0À01 inch radius may have a copper coating 0À0028 inch thick. The wire may be coated by electrolysis, by depositing a thin coating, heating to 1200‹ C. in hydrogen to unite or alloy it with the core, and then further plating to the required thickness. The wire may be moved rapidly, and the bath maycontain materials such as gelatine, glue, salt, or ferric chloride. In another method, a rod or wire of the core metal is coated thinly with silver or an alloy of silver and copper to act as a solder, either by electrolysis or by applying foil, and a sheath of the coating-metal is compressed on to it by rolling, swaging, or drawing. The whole is then heated to 50 degrees above the melting-point of the intermediate layer, and is afterwards drawn down. Wires with tungsten cores are suitable for lamps such as that shown in Fig. 1, containing materials yielding active vapours, such as potassium iodide, thallium chloride, and tungsten oxychloride. The coating-metal, which would be acted upon, is dissolved from the parts 7 inside the lamp. The active material may be contained in a hollow stem 8.
