Title: Improvements in Mechanical Musical Instruments.
Inventor: RIESSNER PAUL
Filed: 1899-08-03
Granted: 1899-10-07
Abstract: 15,891. Riessner, P. Aug. 3. Automatic instruments.-The invention relates to instruments with strings or resonant tubes or rods which are frictionally vibrated by an endless band. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement for a stringed instrument. Levers G are acted on by a tune-sheet F or band F<1>, and are depressed so as to bring the strings into contact with an endless band E which moves over a support D, and also with a bridge H. The duration of the note is determined by the length of the projection or series of projections on the tune-sheet. When the lever is released, it is lifted and kept in contact with a supporting-rail H<1> by the elasticity of the string, which is at the same time damped by the nose f. In another form, the levers G carry resonant tubes or rods which are brought into contact with the band or bow. A number of modifications are described. Spur or star wheels may be interposed between the levers G and the tune-sheet, and the latter may have orifices into which the levers drop instead of projections. The band support D may have ridges or rollers on which the band rests, thus giving it greater resiliency, or the support may, rest on springs. In other cases it is moved towards or away from the strings by levers operated by the tune-sheet so as to give crescendo or diminuendo effects. A rail with pins or bars against which the string lies may be substituted for the bridge H. The string may also be depressed by a plunger on a lazy-tongs or other device, so as to multiply the movement communicated by the tune-sheet.

Abstract: 17,780. Kubierschky, K. Sept. 2. Gases, separating mixtures of.-A mixture of gases or vapours is absorbed at a high pressure or at a low temperature, or at both, by any liquid, and the pressure is reduced or the temperature raised, or both, whereby some of the absorbed gases are given off, in different proportions to their original composition in the mixture ; more of the mixture is next absorbed at the low pressure or the high temperature, or both. The liquid is again subjected to a high pressure or a low temperature, or both, more of the gaseous mixture is passed. through, and the whole process is repeated. In the Figure, the gaseous mixture enters at f into an absorbing-column e, of any form, down which the absorbing - liquid at atmospheric pressure flows. The unabsorbed gas passes by a tube h to a pump c, which forces it through a tube b and a cooler k to a second absorber g, down which the liquid from the column e is forced at increased pressure by the pump q. The unabsorbed gases escape by the tube i, and are used as desired. The liquid from the absorber g is forced by a pump p to a vessel a, where it is relieved of pressure, and some of the absorbed gases are given off and collected. The liquid flows back to the absorber e. The process works similarly if, instead of a difference of pressure, a difference of temperature be used.

Granted: 1901-03-16
Abstract: 9581. Lake, H. H., [Streeter-Amet Weighing and Recording Co.]. May 24. Printing - apparatus combined with weighing-apparatus. -A weigh - bridge for automatically weighing and recording the weights of railway cars is shown in Fig. 1. The apparatus is devised for weighing eight - wheeled cars, but can be modified for use with other cars. The car is run on to the platform 3, which is connected by a link 5 to the beam 6. The free end 9 of the beam is fitted with an arm 8, to which special devices, described subsequently, are connected. The wheels o the incoming and outgoing cars actuate bails 81 placed at both ends of the platform, and, through bell-crank levers 85 and links 84, 86 actuate duplicate ratchet gearing, controlling the printing - mechanism placed inside the casings 128. The beam is balanced by a coiled spring 12, Fig. 14, one end of which is fixed to the casing 14 and the other end is connected by adjustable links and a rack 19, Fig. 10, to the arm 8 of the beam. The spring is adjusted by means of a flanged block 23, through which the spring is threaded. The casing 14 contains a type-wheel 30 having type on its periphery so that when it is actuated by the rack 19 gearing with the pinion 33, according to the load on the platform, the corresponding number is brought to the top of the type-wheel so that an impression can be made on the paper strip 37, Fig. 9. The paper strip is unrolled from the spool 62 by a spring motor 69 which drives the take-up-spool 67. The strip passes over a notched disc 70 fitted with a pivoted lever or catch 72, which is released when the hammer 51 descends and strikes an intermittently rotated elastic disc 75, having a blackened under-surface so as to make an impression on the paper. An external view of the casings 128 and a section of one of them are shown in Figs. 21 and 22. The wheels of the outgoing car actuate the link 86 and pawl 89 and turn the ratchet-wheel 92 through the space of four teeth. The shaft 93 of the ratchet-wheel 92 carries an external ratchetwheel 94, having one quarter the number of teeth of the wheel 92. The wheels of the incoming car actuate the corresponding link 86, Fig. 1, and duplicate ratchet mechanism 94', Fig. 21. The ratchet mechanism first raises the hammer 51 through the link 106 and a system of levers, and, when both levers 95, 95<1> are freed, the lever 96 and attached linkwork frees the hammer, which causes the weight of the car to be recorded on the paper strip. A dash-pot 44, Fig. 1, is attached to the arm 8 of the beam to neutralize vibration. The piston is fitted with valves, half opening upwards and half downwards, and pressed on to their seats by flat springs.
