Abstract: 17,439. Lake, W. E., [Brinckmeyer, E.]. July 30. Sale apparatus for tickets, post cards, newspapers, pamphlets, and similar flat articles. These tickets &c. are stored in fixed vertical hoppers i, i<1>, i<2> arranged above a circular guide b in a plate a, the lowest card resting on concentrically arranged guide-pieces g, g', g<2>. Delivery mechanism. -After prepayment, the wheel c, which is provided with five equidistant radial arms e bearing pins f, is rotated by hand through an angle of twenty-four degrees when the card s<1>, which during the previous operation was fed forward half-way on to the guides, is pushed off by the pins, whilst the card s<2> is fed partly forward ready to be delivered at the next operation. The pins f work between the guide-pieces. and the space between the latter and the bottom of each hopper is equal to the thickness of one article. Alternatively the cards may be arranged below the pins f. Money shoots; returning coin.-Rods p, Fig. 11, arranged in front of each hopper carry rollers q, r, the former resting on the upper rim of the wheel c. This rim is provided with five notches l, so that when the articles in any hopper are exhausted, the corresponding roller r, not being supported by a partly-ejected article, allows the roller q to drop into a notch l. The rod p thereby rotates a disk n which, through rods p<2>, p<4>, rocks a shutter u in the coin shoot into a position to return any coin afterwards inserted to the operator.

Title: Improvements in Steam Pressure Reducing Valves.
Inventor: COLLIN GEORGE WOLVERTON
Filed: 1907-09-03
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 19,660. Collin, G. W., and King, C. K. Sept. 3. Reducing - valves.-A steam - pressure reducing- valve for use in the heating-system of passenger cars or for use on ships &c., is operated by fluid pressure acting on the valve C and a piston D secured to the valve stem, the opening of the valve being controlled by an auxiliary diaphragm-operated valve K arranged on the outlet side of the main valve casing. A cushioning-chamber E<1> is arranged between the inlet and outlet chambers, its outlet being opened after, and closed before, the main valve by a piston or valve F<1> so as to prevent chattering and wire-drawing. The main and auxiliary valves are arranged in separate chambers with separate covers H<1>, 0 to facilitate repairs. The inlet A<1> is divided by a central partition I which diverts the steam to two opposite ports J so that it acts equally on both sides.of the valve. Steam leaks through a passage D<2> in the piston so that the pressure is normally the same on both sides, and the pressure in the inlet tends to close the valve. When the pressure in the outlet falls, a spring Q operates the diaphragm N' so as to open the spring-pressed auxiliary valve K and allow steam to escape from the space above the piston D, through a passage J<1> and the casing of the valve K, to the outlet. The steam acting on the underside of the piston then opens the main valve more fully. When the pressure in the outlet is excessive, the diaphragm N' is operated against the action of the spring Q to allow the valve K to close so as to allow the pressure above the piston D to increase until the main valve begins to close. The outlet pressure can be varied by varying the tension of the spring Q by a screw R provided with a locknut S. In a modification, the diaphragm and spring are arranged below the outlet chamber, the auxiliary valve is arranged at the side of the main valve casing, augmented motion is transmitted from the diaphragm to the auxiliary valve through two levers, and the spring is adjusted by a screw engaging a locking-sleeve having an external thread of different pitch engaging a threaded opening in the casing. A tool is provided having its ends shaped to operate the screw and locking-sleeve respectively.

Abstract: 19,871. Hartgens, E., Monsma, F. J., and St³ven, W. S. April 22, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Calks and treads ; fixing.-Calks c, which may be straight or curved and are formed with dovetail guides d or grooves which engage with corresponding grooves e or guide s in the shoe a, are arranged to project beyond the inner edge of the shoe as shown in Fig. 9 ; side-clips f, Fig. 3, may be formed integrally with the calks c ; and the projecting dovetail guides d may be slotted, as at g, Fig. 14, so as to spring against the erds of the grooves where they project beyond the inner side of the shoe.

Abstract: 26,983. Del Hoyo y Diez, A. Dec. 6. Hoof-pads; treads; tools for shoeing.-An iron shoe c, Fig. 7, is nailed to the hoof, and a rubber pad, consisting of lower and upper parts a and b respectively moulded together, is secured to the hoof by means of metal flanges g which engage between the upper surface of the shoe and the hoof. The flanges g may be formed by embedding two plates h, Fig. 3, one in each side of the part b. The part a, which diminishes in thickness from back to front, covers the back part of the shoe c and so much of the middle and front parts as will leave the nails uncovered, Fig. 5. The part b fits within the inner edge of the shoe c, and has a slight triangular depression f. A tool for attaching and detaching the pad consists of two L-shaped irons i, Fig. 8, connected by a pin j passing through slots in the irons i so that they may be approached or retracted. The pin j is of rectangular section, with recesses j', Fig. 9, permitting it to be turned with its greatest width across the slots of the irons i to hold the irons apart. To attach the pad, the irons i are passed through a central opening e in the pad and separated till they hold the pad, the pad is pressed against the hoof, and the pin j is pulled at right-angles to its length so as to spring the flanges g into place. The wearing-surface of the rubber is preferably roughened, except at the edges, by rectangular pyramids.

Abstract: 27,742. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Dec. 21. Dyeing.-In printing with tri- and tetra-bromindigo, deeper and more level shades than usual are obtained by adding higher fatty acid salts, for example soaps, or salts of organic sulphonic acids, such as phenol sulphonic acids, benzylamine sulphonic acid naphthylamine sulphonic acids, &c., to the ordinary printing-pastes.

Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 27,957. Lucas, E. G. H. Dec. 23. Drawings to Specification. Transferring designs ; printing in several colours; stamp-inking pads etc.; etching.-In processes in which swelled gelatine films are inked, the impression then being directly transferred on to whatever surface it is desired to print, the film is inked by being pressed on to an inked resilient pad ; it is stripped therefrom by means of a spring- clip and is pressed on to an absorbent pad whereby superfluous ink is removed and by which a grain may be obtained ; it is then pressed on to the final surface, the back of the film being kept moist during these operations. The process is specially applicable to gelatine-bromide prints, which are first toughened in a bath of formalin in methylated spirit and then exposed, developed, and fixed. The film is next immersed in bleaching, acid, and hypo baths, and then washed and dried. After a water-bath at 78‹ F. the film is placed on a level sheet of glass in an oven at 75‹ F., being watched through a glass tcp. When sufficiently swollen it is removed from the glass support and placed face downwards on an inked pad composed of a backing of resilient material covered with a sheet of pure rubber, a wet brush being used to ensure proper contact, and pressure being applied by an elastic squeegee roller. For colour-printing, a medium composed of burnt linseed oil, bees-wax, and Venice turpentine is mixed with the colours. This medium may be used as an acid resist in etching, tube oil bitumen or asphaltum being substituted for the colour. Ordinary lithographic transfer ink may also be used as the acid resist or when making a transfer for the lithographic stone. The film holder being closed, the film is gripped at one end by the spring clip, and pulled off the pad. To produce a grain, the second pad on to which the film is pressed is covered with a grained absorbent paper or the like. After immersion in water and drying between blotting-paper, the film is pressed on to the final surface. In applying the process to three colour photography the three pictures are preferably taken side by side on the same film so that they may expand or contract equally before having the colours applied. Also transparent films or intermediate transparent supports may be used to ensure accurate registering. Also a fourth negative taken through a yellow K III screen may be used and the three coloured transfers are combined on a print from this negative, the print being first treated with a solution of fine wax and turpentine.
