Title: Consumption metering apparatus
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 1967-01-04
Abstract: 1119118 Metering ELECTROMETRE SA 4 Jan 1967 [13 Jan 1966] 489/67 Headings G4D and D6Y A consumption meter which transmits data signals over the mains supply network comprises a counter 49, Fig. 1 adapted to control switch contacts when a predetermined consumption has been metered so that when the meter is monitored by, for example, a remotely generated control signal, a further switch 36 is operated at a frequency proportional to the mains supply frequency for a given time within each data transmission cycle so that bursts of a high frequency signal are superimposed on the mains by an oscillatory circuit 32. In one embodiment the counter 49 operates the switch of Fig. 2 in which contacts 54, 58 and 55, 59 are operated as a cam 57 of the counter 49 rotates. In another embodiment, Fig. 4 (not shown) the contacts are such that both pairs are not open simultaneously. The remotely generated control signal energizes a motor 48 so that in the first half of a data transmission cycle a contact 44 is closed and in the second half a contact 45 is closed so that depending on the position of the contacts associated with the counter an impulse generator 37 is selectively fed with the mains supply. During the time interval in which it receives the mains supply it operates a contact 36 closing it at a frequency of 25 c/s. for a short period, e.g. 20 milliseconds. Whilst it is closed the oscillatory circuit 32 superimposes signals of 425 or 575 cycles per second on the mains. These are filtered out at the receiver 15 and after mixing with a frequency of 500 c/s. and filtering applied to an integrator 22.

Title: Improvements in and relating to coin-freed vending machines and the like
IPC: G07F5/24
Filed: 1940-01-10
Abstract: 534,256. Coin-freed machines. KOOPERATIVA FORBUNDET FORENING U.P.A. Jan. 10, 1940, No. 536. Convention date, Jan. 14, 1939. [Class 27] A coin-freed vending and change-giving machine which works with various combinations of coins is arranged so that whenever the supply of a particular denomination of coin necessary for giving change is exhausted, all coin slots which might require the delivery of such a coin in change are closed automatically but are reopened whenever a purchaser supplies one or more of the coins in question to the empty receptacle. For example, if the machine delivers at 5 and 15 cents and the supply of 5-cent pieces in the machine is exhausted, the 10-cent slot is closed so that it is impossible to insert two 10-cent pieces, as the change is not available. A customer making a purchase of 5 cents, however, re-opens the 10-cent slot until the supply of 5-cent pieces is exhausted once more. Fig. 2 shows mechanism in which the sum total of the coins inserted in the various slots is shown by the angular position of the disc 10, thus positioning the spur 11 on the plunger 8 on the periphery of, or in shallow or deeper slots in, the disc. The plunger 5 actuated by the cam 6 then delivers the change through the orifice 12. A second plunger 15 slidably mounted in the projection 14 on the plunger 5 is prevented normally from entering the casing 3 by abutting the pile of coins, but when the pile diminishes below a certain point, the plunger enters the casing and allows a member 16 to contact a pin 20 and thus move the lever 22 about the pivot 21. This moves the upper end of the lever to block the 10-cent slot. When a further coin is inserted in the slot 5, Fig. 1, which will replenish the casing 3, the act of pushing the bar 26 to transfer the coin from the slot into alignment with the casing 3 causes a member 29 to be moved axially so that a spur 28 restores the lever 22 to its original position and frees the 10-cent slot. Specification 440,763 is referred to.

Direct-call systems and apparatus. - Relates to systems in which a transformer for transmitting speech currents is utilized to operate an interrupter or relay for producing a call signal, and consists in a differentiallywound transformer combined with a male- and-break device and associated with a circuit comprising a doubleacting microphone. The transformer comprises a secondary winding 2 arranged between a pair of opposed primary windings 3 on a core 1. Alter- - natively, the primary windings may be sandwiched between three series-connected secondary coils. The make-and-break device is mounted upon the core and comprises an armature 10 secured to a spring blade 9 adapted to cause separation of a pair of contacts 7. 8 when the armature is attracted. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to a two-way communication system comprising two similar stations A, B. Calling is effected by moving the switches 14, 15 at one station to the left and right respectively. This completes a circuit from the battery 14 through - the two primary windings 3 in series and through the interrupter 7. Current pulsations in the primary windings caused by vibration of the interrupter produce high-voltage current in the secondary winding 2, thus causing a. buzzing sound in the receiver 17 at the other station. Alternatively, the current produced mav be used to light a lamp or to energize a bell circuit. When a reply is received, the switches 14, 15 are moved to the right and left respectively, thus causing the opposed primary windings 3 to be brought into operative connection with a doubleacting microphone 13 which may be of the type described in Specification 324,040. The transformer then operates to transmit speech currents, the interrupter being cut out of circuit at the switch 15. When the make-and-break device is required to operate as a relay, contacts 31, 32 are provided on the blade 9, the contacts being adapted to complete the circuit of a lamp 30 when the winding 2 is energized by closure of a switch 27 at the other station. Specification 324,095 also is referred to.
