Title: Improved Balance.
Inventor: NEJEDLO FRANZ JOSEF
Filed: 1907-03-26
Granted: 1908-01-02
Abstract: 7226. Nejedlo, F. J., and Pavlista, F. J. March 26. Hydrostatic apparatus; compound-lever apparatus ; platforms; machines.-Relates to coin-freed weighing machines which may be combined with advertising apparatus. The weight on the platform 18 is transmitted by levers to rods 8 attached to a crossbar carrying a float 5 which moves in a liquid and is guided by a rod 4. The coin passes down the shoot into a basket 30, and, if it has a good surface, it is retained by spring-pressed checks. The weight of the coin then acts on the pivoted lever 29, and the locking-key 34 is withdrawn from the cam surface 44 on to the chain pulley 40. A push 37 can be depressed by the operator's foot when the chain pulley 40 is freed, whereby the pulley is rotated in the direction of the arrow by a chain 38, which is attached to the pivoted lever 36 and passes round the pulleys 42, 40, 41, 39. The chain rotates the pulley 39, and, by the link 58, bell-crank 59, pin 27, and rod 24, the pawl 23 is withdrawn from a rack 20. The rack is attached to a cross-bar 19, which connects the rod 8 and is guided by a roller 22 and bow-shaped piece 21. The chain wheel 39 is keyed to a shaft 46, Fig. 4, carrying a sheave 48, to which is fixed a pawl 49 operating a ratchetwheel 50. The ratchet-wheel is carried by a sleeve 51 working loosely on the shaft 46 and operating a pulley 52, around which a weighted cord passes. A fan 57 worked from the sleeve by gearing brings the apparatus to rest quickly. The depression of the push and the operation of the chain wheel 39 operate a rod which engages an eye-piece connected to the weighing-lever 10, and until this rod is disengaged from the eye-piece by the release of the push the weighing operation cannot take place. Only coins with good faces are retained by the spring-pressed cheeks of the coin basket. Indicating and registering mechanism.-The position of the float is read on a vertical scale in front of the apparatus. Fig. 11 shows the means adopted for registering the number of times the weighing operation has been performed. A weighted rod 83, carrying a pivoted pawl 82, rests on a cam-surface 44 on the chain wheel 40, Fig. 2. The rotation of this chain wheel in the direction indicated raises rod 83 and thereby moves the pawl over the teeth of the ratchet-wheel 80. As the weighted rod falls again, the ratchet-wheel is advanced one tooth to feed the paper 77 and a needle point 86 enters the paper. A knife 72 attached to the chain 38 enters the coin basket and forces apart the coin-retaining checks. Advertisements on cards 92, Fig. 12, are moved in one direction by a chain 96 from tne pulley 41. The chain has a weight attached to one end and passes around a sprocket-wheel attached to a shaft wheel 89 which carries wings 90. The wings, after moving the cards, are always brought to the horizontal position by means of a weight 99 acting on a handle attached to the shaft.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Receiving Instruments for Electric Telegraphy.
Inventor: EDGAR ROBERT HENRY
Filed: 1907-07-09
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 15,789. Edgar, R. H. July 9. Bifilar suspensions.-In a siphon recorder the suspension piece from which the moving coil and siphon are separately suspended, and which carries various adjustments, is capable of sliding on guides on the base of the instrument, and may be removed for inspection. The moving coil, to which the siphon is attached by iwo threads, may be carried by a bifilar suspension while the siphon is suspended by a single thread or vice versa, and the adjustment of the sensitiveness of the instrument is effected by altering the effective length of the bifilar suspension or by an alteration in the distance between the points of support of the active parts of the threads. The points of support of the moving coil and the siphon are relatively movable by means of a screw in the base of the suspension piece, and the magnet-poles between which the coil is suspended are adjustable by a single differential screw. The guides w which touch the coilsuspending threads g, and by means of which the sensitiveness of the instrument may be adjusted, are mounted on a plate x which slides on the vertical pillars n. The adjustment may be carried out either by a vertical movement of the guides W, whereby the effective length of the fibres is altered, or by a relative movement in the horizontal plane of the guides, by means of the screw and cone arrangement 7, 8, whereby the distance between the centres of suspension of the fibres is altered. The first adjustment of the siphon zero is effected by giving the guides w a parallel motion in opposite directions by rotating the plate, to which they are fixed by means of the knobs 11. The final light adjustment of the zero is effected by altering the tension in the siphon-suspending fibre i by means of the vertically adjustable torsion adjustment t. To adjust the clearance between the coil d and the pole-pieces, the guides w may be given a lateral movement by a rotation in the horizontal plane of the plate 12, in which is screwed the screw and cone 7, 8, against which the guides w rest.- The bifilar suspension of the coil d consists of a single thread passed over the pulley 1 on the vertically adjustable plate 2. The bottom retaining thread h is hooked over the end of the spring- held adjustable lever 14.
