Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 19,977. Briden, R., [representative of Palmer, C.]. Aug. 26. Cash registers; keys for special transactions, clerks, &c.-In key-set and key - operated machines of the type described in Specification 10,213/93, wherein a set of special - transaction, department, or clerks' keys is provided, the depression of one of these keys is arranged to display an identification indicator to the customer, to record a corresponding mark against the item, and to unlock the main actuator and permit the amounts key to operate. The clerks' keys 43, Fig. 4, mounted at one end of the machine are adapted to be held when depressed, by detent - plates 46, 47. The plate 47 engages notches on the key-stems so that the keys cannot be returned until the machine has been operated. To enable the detent-plates to return, at the end of an operation of the machine, to release the keys, there is pivoted thereto a double-armed lever 49, the other end of which is adapted to be depressed by a cam 52, Fig. 1, on the main spindle 32. Indicators.-When one of the upper clerks' keys is depressed, its inner end engages one or other of the steps 53 on a pivoted plate 54. This plate is thereby rocked, and through an extension 55<a> on the plate, having a pin engaging a depending arm 58 on a spindle 59 to which is secured a pinion 60 gearing with a pinion 61 on a spindle 62, the arms 63 are rocked to move the indicator plate 65 laterally through a pin- and-slot connexion. At the same time, the movement of the plate 54 is communicated through a sector 81 to a pinion 82 mounted on the sleeve that carries the printing-element having the special type. The lowermost key 43 has no action on the pivoted plate, so that the identification sign for this particular clerk is normally visible through the right opening. Between the operations of the machine, the indicator plate is held in its adjusted position by means of a pawl 71 engaging notches 70 on an arm of the plate 54. The pawl 71 is provided with a projection 73 in the path of an arm 74, which, by its connexion with an arm 76 and a sliding plate 78, is moved to withdraw the pawl from the notches 70, at the beginning of the operation of the machine, by means of a cam 80, Fig. 2, engaging a pin 79 on the sliding plate. This movement of the pawl allows the pivoted plate to move from the position last set to the position depending on the particular clerks' key then depressed. Interlocking.-To prevent operation of the machine until a clerks' key has been depressed, a sliding plate 85 is provided, which has a notch 88 at one end to engage the main actuator 23, and is shaped at the other end to form a camsurface 90. The cam-surface engages a pin 91 on a sliding plate 92, which is raised on depressing one of the clerks' keys, and thereby moves the plate 85 to disengage the notch from the main actuator 23.

Abstract: 22,413. Cosby, C. Oct. 11. Shearing; punching. -In apparatus for removing the heads and bottoms of cans, cutting out the seams, and flattening and cleaning the bodies for further use, the cans are allowed to fall one by one from a feed-shoot 19, Fig. 1, by means of a handoperated hinged door 32 and detent 50, on to carriers H, Figs. 1 and 7. The carriers are attached to a chain G and have pivoted sides h<1>, which hook over the rails of a double track 11. The rails are arranged to maintain the carriers in their closed positions during the passage along an horizontal part of the upper track, whereas at 11<c> the rails diverge and incline downwardly to open the carriers. The rails approach one another at 11<b>, where they receive the cans from the feedshoot. The cutter passes through the can lengthwise, the cutter blades 42, Figs. 1 and 4, piercing the can head and a spring-pressed plunger 13 being forced back until a notch 132 is engaged by a spring-pressed catch which is freed again to eject the head by the passage of the can. A similar action takes place with regard to the bottom of the can. The cutter, after penetrating the can head, is forced back against the action of the spring 16 and receives a slight rotation by the passage of a pin in an inclined slot, thereby ensuring a clean cut. The can body, a'fter removal of the head and bottom, is carried along until the front edge of the carrier engages catches 88. The sleeve 83 is then forced along against the action of a spring 86 until a catch 93 engages a recess 96 and spring-pressed pins working in circumferential grooves in the sleeve are moved by spiral slots 91 to search for the longitudinal seam, engage it and move it into position for cutting out. The catch 93 is freed again by the can, which passes to a pair of cutters cooperating with a shearing-roller, and the slot produced is spread out somewhat. The carriers thereupon open, and fingers K engage behind the can body and push it on to a roll 8, Figs. 1 and 8, co-operating with a roll 6 which is raised and lowered by an eccentric. A stripper 104 and rolls 7 complete the operation.

Abstract: 28,868. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wedmore, E. B. Dec, 21. [Addition to 11,979/08.] Protective arrangements. - Relates to balanced-relay parallelfeeder protection systems. According to the present invention, in place of the so-called 'interlocked' overload relay shown in Fig. 2 of the parent Specification, each feeder of a pair is provided with a balance beam relay having an operating- coil energized from a current transformer on the feeder and a restraining-coil energized from the transformer on the other feeder, the restraining - coil being wound so as to be normally stronger than the operating-coil. One of the relays responds according as a leak arises on one feeder of the pair, and the response does not take place until the excess current due to the leak is equal to a determined proportion of the current flowing at the time. As shown in the Figure, a current transformer a on one feeder c energizes an operating-coil g of one relay f and a restraining-coil h of the other relay e. A current transformer b on the other feeder d energizes the operating- coil g of the relay e and the restraining-coil h of the relay f. The relays normally occupy the position shown, with the circuits of the transformers going to an earth return l by way of contacts p, q. When either relay responds, its contacts p, q are disconnected, and its contacts n, o are connected, circuit being thus made to the return l through the trip coil k of the respective circuit-breaker, which cuts the faulty feeder out. At the same time, a switch s may be automatically closed in order to shunt the relay of the sound feeder by a fuse r, which provides overload protection. Instead of the fuse, a simple short-circuit to earth may be made
