Granted: 1902-04-02
Abstract: 6952. Janz, J. April 2. Incandescent gas and oil lamps.-In the apparatus for burning-down incandescent light mantles, the mantles are suspended over a row of burners 29 by wire hooks 5 secured to the sockets 8 of toothed wheels 9 by clamping-screws 7. The wheels 9 rest on a framework 3 carried by a table top 1 resting on legs 2, and are geared together by intermediate wheels 10 operated by a shaft 11 connected by mitre gearing 12 to a shaft 13 carrying a belt pulley 15. Rope or chain gearing may be used instead of toothed gearing. The preliminary burning is effected by bunsen burners 20, Fig. 2, connected to a pipe 16 and having ignition tubes 21 connected with a pipe 17. The pipes 16. 17 are connected by parallelogram links 18, and can be turned by a hand-lever 19 so as to bring the burners 20 into and out of action. Rubber tubes 22, 23 lead from these pipes to the main 24 having a tap 25 to permanently regulate the gas pressure and a tap 26 coupled by a link 27 to the hand-lever 19, so as to cut-off the gas supply when the burners are out of action. The burners 29 are connected by rubber tubes 30 with a gas pipe 31, and are carried by a horizontal strip 28 fastened to sliding-rods 32 connected at their lower ends by a bar 33 carrying rollers 34 resting on cams 35 on a shaft 36 driven by a belt pulley 37 put into and out of action by a clutch 38 operated by a lever 39 and a slide-rod 40. The cams reciprocate the burners, and at each reciprocation a tap 50, initially set by a handle 51, is operated by the action of a collar 56 on the spring- raised arm 52 of an L-lever carrying a pawl 54 which operates a toothed disc 53 on the tap spindle, so as automatically to increase the gas pressure as the burning proceeds. Each cam has a deep radial recess to allow the burners 29 to be lowered sufficiently for the removal of the mantles. To prevent the bar 33 from normally falling into these recesses, it is suspended from chains 42 passing over chain-wheels 43 and carrying weights 44. The chain-wheels are mounted on a shaft 45 operated by a hand-crank 46 and carrying a ratchet and pawl catch device, the motion of the crank being limited by a pivoted support. The mantles may remain stationary while the burners are rotated and reciprocated, the mantles may be reciprocated while the burners are rotated, the mantles may be reciprocated and rotated while the burners remain stationary, or both may be rotated and reciprocated together in the same or in opposite directions.

Title: Cash Register and Ticket Counting Bell Punch
Inventor: WHITING PAUL
Filed: 1902-03-21
Granted: 1903-03-05
Abstract: 6929. Whiting, P. March 21. Ticket clips and punches.-In this combined cash register, ticket register, and bell ticket-punch, the fares collected are registered, the tickets are both punched and registered, and the completion of the operation is notified by the ringing of a bell. The ticket representing the value of the fare received is inserted in the slot 45 by the conductor or attendant, and is perforated by the depression of that cne of the punches 12 which corresponds to the value of the fare. The descending punch 12 carries with it two pawls 17, 17<a>, pivoted in diagonal slots 18, and a spring catch 22, pivoted to a bracket 23 carried by the punch and normally engaging with the curved end 21 of the pawl 17. As the punch 12 descends, the pawls 17, 17<a> engage the pinions 11, 10 and rotate them the distance of one tooth, whereupon the pin 30 disengages the catch 22 from the pawl 17, which is then forced up clear of the gearing by the spring 28. When the punch 12, after being released, is restored to its initial position by the spring 14, the pawl 17 is forced by a stop 29 into re-engagement with the catch 22. The tail of the pawl 17<a> is weighted to restore it to its horizontal position, although a pin 29 may be employed. The one-tooth movement of the pinions 11, 10 is transmitted by the shaft 7 and the gearing 44, and by the shaft 6 and the gearing 35, to the unit disc of three geared ticket-registering discs 40, 41, and to the geared cash-registering discs 32, 33, 34, respectively. All the pawls 17 are set on the same level, so that the ticket-registering disc is turned one notch only, whichever one of the punches 12 is operated, whereas the pawls 17<a> are set at graduated heights so that the cashregistering disc 32 is rotated through one or more unit-spaces according to the fare received as determined by the particular punch operated. Overthrow and backlash of the gearing is prevented by spring-actuated pawls 37, and the completion of the punching operation is notified by a spring- actuated hammer 47, operated by the pinion 48, striking the bell 46. A slide having openings therein for reading off the numbers on the registering discs is normally concealed by a second locked slide 52. A locked drawer may be located beneath the punches to catch the pieces punched from the tickets and so provide a check on the attendant.

Abstract: 84. Boistelle, A. O. Jan. 14, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Mixing air and gases.-Relates to an apparatus for accurately measuring two or more gases, and, if desired, of also mixing them together. Variations of pressure do not affect the exactness of the measuring. Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a measuring and mixing apparatus for two gases, and Fig. 2 a section on the line A-A. Within a gas-tight casing 1 are mounted two wheels 13, 14, closed by end-plates 16, 17, and connected together by the common wall 15. Each is provided with an annular set of measuring- chambers or cells 11, 12, having inlet tubes 20, 21, leading from the centres of the wheels, and outlet tubes 22, 23 leading to the casing, and thence to a single outlet 6. The gases enter the wheels through tubes 3, 4. Water is charged into the casing through a tube 7, and remains at different levels 26, 25, 24, 27, according to the resulting pressure of the mixed gases, the pressures of the two gases charged thereinto, and that of the atmosphere, respectively. The sizes of the cells are chosen to suit each particular case. In a smaller form, the rings of measuring-cells are arranged one within the other. When three or more gases are to be measured and mixed, three or more rings of measuring-cells are used, and one or more extra inlet tubes pass to the extra wheels through spaces left between pairs of the wheels. Instead of water, other liquids may be used in the apparatus, such as non-freezing, purifying, or carburetting liquids.

Patent GB-190304233-A (GB)
Title: A Process and Apparatus for Forcing and Drawing Off Liquids Evolving Ignitible or Explosive Gases
Inventor: MARTINI CARL
Filed: 1903-02-23
Granted: 1903-11-26
Abstract: 4233. Martini, C., and H³neke, H. Feb. 23. Direct gas-pressure apparatus.-Relates to a process of forcing liquids which evolve gases apt to explode or ignite, such as ether, alcohol, benzene, petroleum, &c. A non-oxidizing gas, such as carbonic acid, illuminating gas, or ammonia, under pressure, is used to force the liquids, as desired, and, at the same time, prevent any ignition or explosion. To reduce the expense, the non-oxidizing gas is mixed with a certain proportion of air, a suitable mixture being 20 per cent. of carbonic-acid gas and 80 per cent. of air. The products of combustion of a gas or like engine or boiler furnace may also be used for this purpose. The apparatus, in its simplest form, consists of a tank containing the liquid to be forced, this tank being connected directly to a carbonic-acid bottle by one pipe and to the place where the liquid is required to be forced by another. Fig. 2 shows a second form of apparatus, an additional receiver h being inserted in the pressure-gas tubing. In the event of an outbreak of fire in the store-room, the consequent increase of pressure in the tank a would force the liquid back into the receiver h, thus preventing an explosion. In Fig. 3 is shown the method of utilizing the waste gases of a gas or like engine. The waste gases may be driven into the chamber h or along the tube u, according as the valve g is turned. When the engine has produced sufficient pressure in the chamber h, the valve g automatically cuts it off from the pipe i, the taps o, p are then opened, and the liquid in n is forced into the desired place, as, for example, through the pipe s into the carburizer. The coil x cools the waste gases as they pass through the chamber h.
