Title: Improvements relating to Coin Freed Meters for Gas Fires and other Heating Appliances.
Inventor: YATES HARRY JAMES
IPC: G07F15/02
Filed: 1911-06-06
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 13,501. Yates, H. J. June 6. Gas, supplying by meter.-Relates to prepayment attachments for gas fires of the type described in Specifications 3377/10 and 21,222/10, and consists chiefly in the arrangement of and means for operating the main and auxiliary valves. After prepayment, the main valve e is opened by the operation of a lever g by the coin just prior to its discharge from the carrier b, the lever g rotating a disk f on the valve against the action of a spring k,. and the disk being retained in this position by the engagement of a pawl h on a spring arm i with a peripheral projection j. The auxiliary valve o is opened by a hand-operated arm p, and is retained in the open position against the action of a spring r by the engagement of a projection s on a spring arm t with an aperture u in a disk q. A peripheral notch u<1> of the disk q cooperates with a lever v to throw a spring w into or out of engagement with the balancewheel x of the clock according as the valve is closed or opened. At the conclusion of the supply, the travelling nut n presses back the arm i permitting the spring k to close the main valve, and the auxiliary valve is closed simultaneously owing to the tripping of the arm t by a projection y on the main valve. Both valves are closed each time a coin is inserted, a lever z engaged by the coin at the commencement of its travel in the carrier b serving to trip the arm h. To allow for changes in the price of gas, the coin is adapted to engage the wheel c after passing an adjustable guard 7. Coin-slit closing devices.-When the maximum number of coins has been inserted a spring member 3 carried bv the nut moves between the coin-carrier b and a fixed post 5 thereby preventing the necessary movement of the carrier to open the coin slot.

Abstract: 1420. Du Bois, H. M. Jan. 17. Alkalis and chlorine, obtaining; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating.-Electrolyte flows from an anode compartment to a cathode compartment through a gas-tight seal, and then across the electrolvtic field between the cathode and a porous diaphragm. A part of the electrolyte may flow through the diaphragm itself. In the cell shown, the diaphragm C is in contact with vertical ribs on the cathode A, which forms the cell wall. The gas-tight seal comprises two annular partitions F, H attached to the cell cover and an intermediate partition attached to the top of the diaphragm. In the manufacture of alkalis from chlorides, any hypochlorites contained in the anode electrolyte are reduced by ascending hydrogen before reaching the cathode, which is thus protected against corrosion. An annular trough I collects the liquid cathode product. The anode consists of a ring of carbon rods D near the diaphragm.
