Title: Apparatus for the Production of Mixtures of Gas and Air
Filed: 1904-07-22
Granted: 1904-09-08
Abstract: 16,288. Akt.-Ges. f³r Selas-Beleuchtung. Oct. 21, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Mixing air and gases. -In an apparatus for the production of a mixture of gas and air, similar to that described in Specification No. 17,788, A.D. 1903, the back suction conduits leading to the suction conduits for gas and air are provided with non-return valves, so that they are only open on the suction stroke, and not always open as described in the prior Specification. The pump a is supplied with air on one side of the piston and gas on the other, the supply conduits being fitted with non-return valves o, and similar valves f fitted between the pump and the service pipe g. The back conduit h, fitted as described in the prior Specification with a valve i operated by the pressure in the service pipe, is divided into two branches, one being led to the non-return valve of the gas conduit and the other to that of the air conduit. Thus, each branch of the back conduit is open only when the air and gas conduit with which it is in. connection is also open, that is, during the suction stroke for that particular conduit. Instead of having a single valve for the supply conduit and its back conduit, two distinct valves may be employed, and may be positively connected one with the other. The opening and closing of the suction conduits, which are to be opened in common, might also take place at short intervals one after the other, by means of differential loading or positive displacement. When the intermediate suction valves are arranged separately, means are preferably provided for opening and closing them positively.

Patent GB-190429018-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Taxameters.
Inventor: JAPY PAUL ALBERT JEAN EMILE
Filed: 1904-12-30
Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 29,018. Japy, P. A. J. E. Dec. 30. Fares, registering; counting-apparatus.-In taxameter apparatus for vehicles plying for hire, driven either from the road wheels or by clockwork, the minimum fare is at once indicated when the apparatus is set, and the train of counting-wheels is not driven until this fare has been earned. When the setting-handle is put to "free," all the counting- wheels are returned to zero. The clock or parts actuated by the wheels drive the spindle 1, Fig. 1, which communicates motion to the train by means of its spur-wheel 2, a pinion 5 movable on the arm 3, and a following wheel 6, the parts being shown in the registering position. The spindle 7 has a projecting arm carrying a pin engaging in a concentric slot of the wheel 6 which is of such length that the spindle and its cam 10 do not move for the required interval after actuation begins. For this purpose, a spring attached to the spindle tends to rotate the wheel 6 in the opposite direction to that of the arrow f. As the cam lifts the lever 11 with its pivoted pawl 14, motion is transferred to a wheel 19 indicating every tenth centime, and from this transference takes place to the francs' wheel 29 by means of the cam 20 lever 21, pawl 24, and ratchet-wheel 25. When the setting-spindle 30 is set to "free," the driving and detent pawls are thrown out of gear in the following manner, the counting-wheels being simultaneously returned to zero by springs. The cam 31 rocks the lever 21, forcing the projection 41 against the pin 40 and throwing up both pawls 24, 27. The slotted arm 36 moves the arm 3 sufficiently to bring the pinion 5 out of gear with the wheel 6, and to cause the pin 38 to strike the tail of the pawl 17, which in turn strikes the driving-pawl 14 and throws it out of gear. The cam 10 then moves clockwise until locked by the lever 11, and the driving-pin returns to the other or starting end of the slot on the wheel 6. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 show the means for preventing overwinding of the zeroizing-spring on the spindle 16 when the counting-wheel 19 is rotated several times in succession. The spring tends to draw together the arms 45, 44, of which the former is loose on the spindle and the latter is fast to the ratchet and counting-wheel. As the wheel carries its arm round, the free arm locks against the pin 48 on a detent 46 fast to the framework, thus extending the spring, but the arm 44 on completing a revolution displaces the pawl and the action recommences.
Patent GB-190502874-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Photographic Shutters.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1905-02-11
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 2874. Boult, A. J., [Lippert, A.]. Feb. 11. Shutters.-Relates to actuating and controlling mechanism for iris-diaphragm and like shutters. Within the annular wall 2, Figs. 1 and 4, of the lens-opening is a toothed ring 3, rotated by the knobs 5 on the outer flange 7, which has a pointer 6 moving over the graduated scale. In the rotation of this to set the shutter for the exposure required, the ring 3 winds the clockwork train 4, and gears with a wheel 21<a> on the brake lever 21. This wheel 21<a> turns with sufficient difficulty to retain the clockwork wound up. In the release of the shutter, the lever 9 operates the spring-controlled lever 10, the pin 19 catching the lever 20 to release the brake lever 21 from the wheel 3, and almost simultaneously, in its backward movement, the lever 10 catches the lever 12 to open the iris leaves of the shutter. The brake lever 21 is held away from the ring 3 by the stop 22 engaging the shaped part of the lever 18, and the shutter is held open by the pin 14 engaging the end of the lever 15. As the clockwork runs down, the ring 3 turns back, until the stud 16 catches the lever 15 to release the pin 14 and close the shutter, and almost simultaneously a second projection 17 operates the lever 18, allowing the brake lever 21 to spring back into contact with the wheel 3. For; instantaneous exposures, the pointer 6 is turned in the opposite direction, the projection 25 engaging the anchor lever 27 to put the spring 13 into more or less tension, and the studs 16, 17 being in position against the levers 15, 18, respectively to prevent the shutter being held open, or the brake applied. The stud 23 on the lever 10 serves to release the shutter, when the duration of the exposure is regulated by hand, by catching against the part 24 of the lever 15 on its return. The stud 23 and the levers 9, 10, 12 are all bevelled on one side, so that movement in one direction has no operative influence, the engaging arms merely forcing each other out of the horizontal position as they pass.

Title: Improvements in Change Speed Gear Operating Mechanism for Mechanically Propelled Road Vehicles.
Inventor: RICHARDSON PERCY
Filed: 1906-10-24
Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 23,654. Richardson, P. Oct. 24. Link-work. - In mechanism for operating the change-speed gear of motor road vehicles, the operating - lever F is pivoted at a' to the sliding or rocking sleeve A and is guided in a line at right-angles to the axis of the shaft by a guide G having a single slot g so shaped as to form a fulcrum about which the lever can be rocked transversely. The sleeve A slides in bearings X and encloses springs E', and a hollow shaft B to which is connected an arm C. The springs E, E<1> tend to keep the arm C in its central position relatively with the sleeve A. A slot a allows the sleeve A to be moved relatively with the lever c, when the lower end of the lever is held, by compressing one of the springs E, E', and also allows the sleeve to swing the arm C about the axis of the shaft B to operate one of the striking rods D, D<1>. The device shown in Figs. 3 and 4 prevents both striking-rods from being operated at once. A recess d<2> in each of the rods D, D<1> and a recess h in a fixed plate H contain a ball J. If longitudinal movement is imparted to one of the rods, the ball is forced into the recess in the other rod, but if any pressure is imparted to both the rods the ball remains in its central position and locks the rods. If the lever F is rocked transversely in any position other than its central position, one or other of the springs E, E<1> is compressed. When the lever F is then moved longitudinally, the compressed spring exerts a transverse pressure on the arm c and automatically moves it transversely when the slot in the striking-rod with which it is engaged comes opposite to the slot in the other rod.
