Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Delivering Silver Change for Gold.
Inventor: NEHMER HENRY

Granted: 1901-03-21
Abstract: 5384. Nehmer, H., and Nehmer, F. March 21. Tills. - Sovereigns a n d half-sovereigns, inserted through sizing-slots u and s respectively in the locked door i<1> of the casing i, run down zig-zag shoots t into a drawer 1, which can only be emptied after the door has been opened to allow a latch 2 to disengage itself. Money-delivering a p p a - ratus. - Change for halfsovereigns is contained in peripheral compartments c in a drum a, which can be turned one compartment at a time by a key o, p with flat spring pawl acting on pins n. To permit this action, the gold coin from one of the shoots rocks a pivoted trough-shaped scale r or w, which in turn disengages a detent y from a compartment of the drum. This action brings the compartments successively to a gap f in a guard band d through which the change drops into an open well below a funnel g. The half-sovereign required in change for a sovereign is delivered from a pile in a tube z by means of a slide x<1>, which is operated by a lever o' coupled to the key p by a link o<1> when a stiff finger w<1> projecting from the sovereign scale has lifted a pivoted finger x on the slide into the path of the lever o'. A branch of the lever o<2> wipes the fore end of a lever 7, and lifts the other T-end 6 to let the coins roll out of the scales into the locked drawer. A pendulum y prevents the scales from acting if the apparatus is tilted out of the vertical. The compartments are charged with the change through a curved glass cover k sliding in guides k<1>. Normally this is prevented from being operated open by a detent lm, but, when the door i is opened, the detent disengages itself, and simultaneously a flap pushed by a gravity lever h closes the aperture f in the guard band k.

Abstract: 8096. Nydahl, E. F., and Harling, G. A. May 1. Type, distributing.-Relates to improvements in the apparatus described in Specification No. 16,660 A.D. 1899. Single types are separated from a line and ejected by means shown in plan in Fig. 2, in which a is a line of types of different thicknesses, fed forward, by a spring g and follower b, against a stop c. The support e for the line opposite the ejector or plunger d is movable, and when the plunger d is first permitted, by a cam &c., to act upon the end type under the pressure of its spring f, such end type is supported by the end of the support e, as shown in Fig. 2. The support e is then moved (to the left of Fig. 2) so that the plunger ejects the end type when the latter is released, and before the.end of the support e can move past the next type. The types are thus ejected singly, whatever their thickness.. If desired, the support e may be fixed and the line of types moved past it by moving the stop c &c.

Granted: 1903-01-08
Abstract: 2015. Gardner, L. Jan. 25. Vapour burners.-A light hydrocarbon, such as alcohol, benzoline, or gasoline, is led to a tube e, filled with cottonwool or other absorbent, within which it is partly or entirely vaporized by heat. At the further end of the tube projects a cone f, which is perforated transversely at g and axially at z, allowing the vapour &c. to pass through passages h, k, and l to a nozzle m. Within these passages the hydrocarbon is completely vaporized. The vapour enters a tube o, where it mixes with air which enters through openings n. The mixture passes through a constricted part p to an annular burner chamber b, from which it escapes through burner holes c and is ignited. The burner is shown as attached to a "furnace" casing, consisting of the ignition tube of an internal combustion motor. This tube is connected to the burner, so as to give up sufficient heat thereto to enable the vaporization to take place. If desired, a sleeve q may carry a tube s, through which some of the vapour may be led through an opening r to beat the vaporizing-tube. In a modification, the burner is separate from any casing, the outlet burner tube being in a line with the inlet vaporizing-tubes and all the parts being metallically connected together.

Patent GB-190215147-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Range Finder and Range Finding Sight for Cannon.
Filed: 1902-07-07
Granted: 1902-11-20
Abstract: 15,147. Wise, W. L., [Bethlehem Steel Co.]. July 7. Mountings; sights and methods of sighting.-Relates to range-finding and automatic sighting- apparatus for ordnance. At an outlying station the azimuth angle between a given line and the target is observed, and then transmitted by telephone &c. to each gun of a battery. By the adjustment of an instrument to this angle, and the training of the gun upon the target, the angle is determined and the sighting automatically effected. Fig. 11 shows a plan of the apparatus adapted for range finding simply. Fig. 15 is a diagram illustrating the principle upon which it acts. An arm 11 is pivoted at x to a graduated disc 12, upon which a second arm 13 is pivoted as shown. These two arms are grooved longitudinally and connected by a block 14, which is traversed along the arm 11 by a screw 17 rotated by a thumb-nut 31. A telescope 54 is mounted parallel to the axis of tha screw 17 and upon the arm 11. The instrument is mounted to rotate on a fixed pedestal, to which a spur-wheel 48 is attached. With this spur-wheel engages a worm 53 on a shaft rotated by a hand-wheel 40. By means of this wheel, therefore, the arm 11 can be rotated in azimuth to bring the sighting-telescope 54 to bear upon an object. By means of a second wormshaft 22, driven from the wheel 40, rotary motion is given to the sector 12 at such a rate that its diametral edge remains pointing in the same direction during the training of the arm 11. In operation therefore an object n, say, is sighted at an outlying station 15, and the azimuth angle between the directions of the object n and the instrument station is determined. This angle is transmitted and the arm 13 set to it on the disc 12 by operation of the nut 31, after the telescope has been trained upon the object by the operation of the wheel 40. The range can then be read off on a scale 34. When the apparatus is used in combination with ordnance for sighting purposes, the axis of rotation x of the sector is mounted as close as convenient to the centre of rotation of the gun mount, and the gear for the rotation of the sector is coupled to that for traversing the gun. Fig. 7 shows the traversing-shaft 40, which, by means of pinions 39, 40 and the shaft 38, drives simultaneously the apparatus for rotating the sector. For the purpose of effecting simultaneously the setting of the arm 13 and the elevation of the gun, the hand-wheel 41 drives through spur gearing a shaft 44 carrying a worm 45, which engages with and drives a shaft 47. On the shaft 47 is mounted a spiral groove, which engages with a stud on the gun cradle, and thus elevates it when the wheel 41 is turned. The simultaneous adjustment of the azimuth angle is effected by spur gearing which connects the shaft 44 and the screw 17 of the range finder. To adjust the gun initially, the gear for driving the sector includes a shaft in two lengths, which admit of relative adjustment.
