Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Recording Votes.
Inventor: GEOFFRION ERNEST
Filed: 1899-04-06
Granted: 1899-09-02
Abstract: 7273. Geoffrion, E., and Belanger, C. E. April 6. Voting-apparatus.-The form of apparatus shown is applicable where there are two candidates only, but it may be modified for more. The voter presses down a handle 18 beneath the name of his selected candidate, lowering the lever 16, and with it a vertically-sliding rod 13, by means of a pawl 14, on which the ratchet-wheel 11 is turned one tooth and the numbering-wheel 10 to the next number. A detent acting on the ratchet-wheel 12 prevents backward motion. The upper ends of the two voting-rods 13 are turned at right-angles over a vertically-movable frame carrying a pawl 38, so that, whichever rod is actuated, the crown-wheel 26 is advanced one tooth and moves a graduated band to record the total number of votes, a detent 42 preventing back motion ; simultaneously a bell 53 is sounded. The lever 16 is locked down after actuation by a spring bolt 44, which holds it until the handle 48 on a lever 45 is depressed by the presiding officer, when the bolt is withdrawn by a chain 47 and the handle 18 is returned to normal position by a spring 52. A coloured slide, operated by a cord passing over pulleys from the handle 18, indicates to the presiding officer whether the handle has been depressed or no. Spring slides are arranged to move over the slits in which the handles work, and, when the voting is over, the handles are unscrewed from their levers and placed in a locked receptacle 64, the slides then closing the casing entirely. Fig. 17 shows the means for preventing both handles from being depressed either simultaneously or successively. The rods 13 have plates 51 attached on which the springs 52 act and which are guided to move vertically. Hanging racks 76 are pivoted to the ends of the plates, and are normally held out of engagement with a toothed wheel 70 by a wedge-shaped piece 75. When a handle 18 is depressed, as shown on the right, the rack is thrown into engagement with the wheel by a spring 74, whereupon it is impossible to lower the other plate 51 until the presiding officer returns the handle to normal position by releasing its locking-bolt.

Motor road vehicles.- The body 2, Fig. 1, of a motor vehicle driven by a petroleum motor 5<1>, is suspended by springs 3 upon the framework 1, which carries the bearings of the back-wheel axle 10. The front part of the body is connected by bars 9 to parts 7 supporting the motor and connected by springs 6 to the frame. Two bearings 12 are rigidly connected with two supports 15 fixed to stay-tubes 16 and 17 by removable pins. A "Gerard" or other engaging and speed-changing device 21 transmits motion from the motor shaft 24 to the axle 10 through a bevel pinion 23 and a wheel 22 secured to the casing of the differential arrangement 13. The shaft 24 has two joints 25 and 26 to allow displacemeut of the motor. The two brakes 27 and 28 of the "Gerard" device are operated by a lever 29 on a shaft 30 connected by levers 31 with a vertical shaft terminating in a handle mounted on the steering-socket 35. Three brakes are preferably provided ; one of these acts upon the differential 13, and is operated by a pedal 37, while the other two act upon the driving-axle and are operated by a shaft 39, actuated by a rod 41 and pedal 40 returned by a spring. The gas is led from the carburetter 42 to the motor by a pipe 43. Levers 45 and 46 control the carburation, a lever 47 operates the compression cock, and a lever 48 for controlling the ignition is connected by a rod 49 and a chain 50, passing over pulleys 51, with a movable box 52 carrying the contact-blade. The lever 48 is returned by a spring. The steering-mechanism, which is connected with the axle by two pivots, is controlled by a hand-wheel 55. The motor cylinder is shown with wings or ribs which facilitate cooling by radiation. A special carburetting and cylinder-cooling apparatus mav be used. Fig. 6 shows an arrangement for cooling the cylinder by water circulation. The water passes from a reservoir through a pipe 57 to the jacket of the cylinder, from which it passes through pipes 58, 59 to a system of cooling-pipes 60, 61, and 62, with internal pipes 63 having bell mouths 64 which are open to the atmosphere. The pipes 62 are slightly inclined to the length of the vehicle, and have helical ribs to cause the circulation of air. Fig. 7 shows a carburetter having a carburation vessel 66, the communication between which and two lateral reservoirs 67 is controlled by a three-way cock 68. A jacket 69 receives hot gases from the exhaust chamber by a small tube 70. A tube 73 conveys air to a small chamber in a float 72, and this air becomes carburetted by its contact with the liquid petroleum.
