Title: Improved System of and Apparatus for Refrigerating and Ice Making.
Inventor: SIEBERT ALFRED
Filed: 1901-04-27
Granted: 1902-04-24
Abstract: 8666. Siebert, A. April 27. Ice-making and refrigerating.-The main mass of brine is circulated with great rapidity, and a comparatively small percentage of it is cooled to a much lower point and then mixed with the bulk to produce the required temperature. The small portion is passed by gravity in separate streams over the ammonia-expansion coils. Fig. 4 shows a plan of a freezing-tank 5 with a brine-circulating pump 6 and briue cooler. The tank is divided into sections by partitions 9, 12 for circulation of the brine between the mixing-chamber 10 and the return pipes 8. The mixing-chamber is connected with the pump 6 by the pipe 7, and with the brine cooler by the pipes 11. A cock 13 in the pipe 7 is partly closed so as to divert some brine to the cooler through the pipe 14 and regulating-cocks 16. This cooler is shown in vertical section in Fig. 3. The brine is directed by pipes or gutters 4 over the horizontal ammonia pipes 1, and is collected in trays 3. Preferably all these trays deliver into the lowermost tray, whence the cooled brine is led to the mixer. Cooling gases and liquids.-This brine cooler may also be used for other systems, and may be applied for cooling air for cooling buildings &c.

Title: Improvements in or applicable to Apparatus for Receiving and Counting Coins, Automatically Vending Goods, Exhibiting Pictures, and for similar Purposes.
Inventor: HART SAMUEL LAVINGTON
Filed: 1901-05-09
Granted: 1901-07-27
Abstract: 9673. Hart, S. L. May 9. Counting-apparatus ; fares and admission-fees, registering and checking.-In apparatus for receiving and counting coins, automatically vending goods, exhibiting pictures, &c., the counting- wheels A, B, C are viewed through an aperture in the casing. The pence disc A is fixed to a sleeve a carrying a ratchet - wheel A', operated, each time a coin is inserted into a shoot S', by a pawl E normally raised by a spring G. When a coin is inserted, it first depresses a pin H, engaging a slot h in the shoot, so as to depress the pawl E, which is then moved to the left by the action of the coin on a pin e sliding in slots e'. Proper position of the wheels is ensured by springs A', c engaging ratchet-wheels as shown. Once on each rotation of the wheel A a pin J is pressed by a spring cam I into a recess i in the wheel B, which is then fed forward one space. Once in each rotation of the wheel B a pin J<1> comes opposite the pin J and the cam I, and is pressed into a recess j<1>in the wheel C. The pin e is carried by a lever F pivoted at f<1> In a modification, the counting- wheels are fixed to concentric shafts carrying toothed wheels locked together at the required intervals, to perform the carrying operation, by a pin and a stationary spring. The spring G is connected to a pin on a disc on the pin e and carrying a projection normally engaged by one end of a bell-crank lever, the other end of which carries a pin engaging a slot in the coin-shoot and operated by the coin. In a further modification, a bell-crank lever is used in place of the pin H, and the wheels B, C are internally toothed and are locked to the wheel A, separately or together and at the required intervals, by a spring- pressed pin. By these arrangements, fraudulent actuation of the counter is prevented. The pin e may release clockwork or make and break electrical connections in automatic showdevices &c.
