Patent GB-189921725-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Fittings of Pneumatic Tyre Valves.
Inventor: SANGSTER CHARLES THOMAS BROCK
Filed: 1899-10-31
Granted: 1900-06-23
Abstract: 21,725. Sangster, C. T. B. Oct. 31. Tyres, pneumatic.-Relates to means for locking together certain of the screwed parts of the inflating - valve, and is shown in detail section in Fig. 5 applied to a "Wood" valve. In this form, the rubber valve sleeve e is held tightly between the projection d<3> and the contraction a<1>, when the union ring h is screwed on. The flange h<1> of the sleeve is provided with indentations h<2> adapted to engage with the ribs g on the stem d, so that the elasticity of the sleeve e allows the ring h to be screwed on, and also causes the ribs g to engage with the indentations so as to prevent any unscrewing which might result from the vibration of the machine. In valves having no rubber sleeve, a rubber washer or its equivalent may be provided. The nut i, Fig. 12, which secures the valve casing to the rim, has two grooves i<1> adapted to engage under the central rib b<3> of the rim. The nut is prevented from unscrewing either by the elasticity of the interposed parts of the tyre or by an intermediate rubber or equivalent washer.

Abstract: 24,079. Oldham, O., and Forrest, J. Dec. 4. Rope grips.-One or both of the jaws or the dies fitted therein are spirally grooved to engage the strands of the rope. The jaws are closed by the pull on the link d to which the wagons are attached or from which the load is suspended. In Fig. 3, the shank of the jaw b slides in a box a<1> attached to the other jaw a, and is closed by a cam therein on the spindle e of the link d, and a spring catch q may be provided to engage teeth l on the shackle of the link d to hold the jaws closed. In Fig. 6, an arm p on the spindle moves the wedge n laterally under the jaw b, and a similar spring catch q engages a rack formed on the wedge. In Fig. 5, the jaws are hinged together at l<1>, and are closed by wedge surfaces on the link d. A rack may be formed on one of the jaws and engaged by a spring catch mounted on the link d, which in that case is bell-cranked.

Abstract: 7890. Leighton, J. T. April 28. Tills.-In a cash till, adapted to be fitted on a shop counter and in which a register of the cash taken is kept by marking a movable p a p e r ribbon m exposed at a slit n in the casing, a device is provided for disp l a y i n g successively a series of pictorial &c. advertisements, and the drawer b is preferably self - closing. The till b is preferably troughlike, divided into compartments, and hinged at a<1>, the opening movement being limited by the wall c, which also frees a spring catch normally engaging a keeper on the lid f covering an auxiliary compartment adapted to contain sovereigns and notes. The ribbon is actuated by the action of a shoulder k on a hanging arm g connected to a pivoted lever h carrying a pawl i engaging a ratchet-wheel j on the drawing- off roller l, which preferably has a groove to contain a pivoted arm to secure the end of the ribbon. The bell-striking mechanism is operated by a tappet on the till. The till closes by the action of gravity after being pushed until a catch b<2> is released from a recess a<3>. When a sliding till is used it may be drawn back by a spring. The advertising device may consist of a disc p, part of which is exposed at an opening a<2> and is operated at each opening of the till by a cord t, a lever u, a pawl v, and a ratchet-wheel w, the pawl being returned by a spring. An opening x is provided to receive a plate bearing the maker's name. The advertising device may consist of a light framing fitted in a box having a glazed or open front and actuated directly or through gearing by a ratchet-wheel and pawl or like device from a cord or connecting-rod attached to the till. The advertisements may be printed on an endless band carried by rollers operated by the till, or they may be displayed on a vertical pillar turned partially round or having semaphore or like signal arms raised in succession from the till mechanism.

Title: New or Improved Controlling Apparatus for Electrically Operated or Driven Ammunition Rammers.
Inventor: REICHWALD AUGUST
Filed: 1901-09-14
Granted: 1902-07-10
Abstract: 18,400. Reichwald, A., [Krupp, F.]. Sept. 14. Loading-appliances.-Relates to controlling - apparatus for electrically-operated telescopic rammers, such as described in Specification No. 9482, A.D. 1899. The motor M is started in either direction by connecting the contacts 1, 2 or 5,6, an operation which is performed by the contacts 3, 4 mounted on the arm D' of the sliding bar D. The bar D is formed at its front end as a rack engaging with teeth F on the pivoted starting-lever K. The bar D is connected by pins to the pivoted slotted levers V<1>, V<4>, and stops a<4>, a' are provided which automatically raise the levers V<1>, V<4> as the rammer reaches its extreme in and out positions, and thus cut out the motor M. When the bar D is in the position shown, the contacts 9 and 10 are pressed together by the arm D', and the current is short-circuited. A connecting-rod S, which is moved from the lever K, imparts a step-by-step motion of rotation to the wheel N upon which a double-armed lever V<3> is mounted. This device causes the stop a<3> to give the rammer a reduced stroke when the powder charge is being rammed; during which time the contacts 7, 8 are brought together and the current passed through a resistance W to reduce the speed of the motor.
