Gas-meters; electricity, supplying, in general.-A spindle E, Figs. 5 and 12, bearing two sleeves F, f with toothed wheels F<1>, F<2> and f<1>, f<2>, has secured to it between the sleeves a cradle H supporting two mutually meshed pinions H<1>, H', each of which gears with one of the wheels on the adjacent sleeves. By means of the other wheels on the sleeves and intermediate spur or worm gear, one of them is turned by turning the coin-freed actuating- shaft C and the other is driven by the meter, so giving the spindle a corresponding partial revolution, which makes a cam-disk E<4> open or close the valve or switch while it is indicated by a graduated disk E<1>. The cam-disk E<4> is shown in Fig. 13 as operating a valve lever e<2>, the arrow being the closing direction. Coin action.-The actuating-spindle C bears the coin-receiver C<1>, a ratchet-wheel C<3>, a flange C<4>, and a handle, and it is normally prevented from rotation in the direction of the arrow by a detent R' having a lug R', which feels the flange, and another lug R<3> which obstructs the coin receiver while the pawl itself lies in a notch therein. The coin Z, covering the notch, forces the detent up clear of the receiver. Coin-discharging mechanism.-With a pawl and ratchet preventing reversal of the actuating- spindle, the coin drops out from the inverted receiver. Actuating-mechanism.-For varying the supply according to the price, the spur driver K on the actuating-spindle and the follower K<1> on the intermediate spindle D may be change wheels or may be permanent gearing with a variable ratchet feed. In the former case, the driver is removably secured by a cross-pin and is kept in gear by an overlapping disk removably secured by a set-screw. In the latter case, the driver and an attached ratchetwheel J are loose and turn with a fast arm L, Fig. 2, bearing a pawl M with spring N, which snaps into action when passing a tangent finger S and snaps out of action when passing a pin T in a hole of a concentric series r in a plate B<2>.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Signalling Devices.
Inventor: KENNEDY PATRICK
Filed: 1906-06-01
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 12,797. Kennedy, P. June 1. Order or alarm apparatus.-Relates to electric signalling-devices and particularly to fire-alarm signal transmitters of the non-interfering type, and consists in putting into potentially operative condition the controlling-mechanism of several boxes, should they be operated at once, so that they each automatically operate in turn as the line becomes clear. The boxes of the transmitting-instruments are in series, and the order in which each sends its particular signal is predetermined by adjustment. The apparatus consists of a signal-transmitting mechanism and a controlling-mechanism each operated by a clock mechanism and controlled by shunted electro-magnets. A push-button 28, shown separately in Fig. 7, when operated breaks contact between a disk 29 and springs 31, removes a shunt from a main electro-magnet 10, and causes the latter to attract its armature 11. This armature 11 is pivoted at 18 and carries an arm 12<a> which releases the controlling-mechanism operated from a spring 13, and it also engages a carrier-wheel 19 with a wheel of the controlling-mechanism. The wheel 19 is provided with a number of holes 20, into one of which fits a pin 21, according to the order in which the boxes are to signal. As this wheel 19 rotates, the stop 21 breaks a contact 22,23 in shunt with an auxiliary electro-magnet 24, causing the latter to attract a lever 8 which carries a pin 7 fitting a notch 6 in a wheel 5 of the transmitting-mechanism thus starting the latter, simultaneously breaking a contact 26, 27 in shunt with a toothed wheel 4 and two brushes 9, which then send their particular signal. The carrier - wheel may operate the transmitting-mechanism by mechanical means. The push-button may be operated electrically from a distance by a solenoid 33 with its core 34 in alinement with the rod 28. To arrange the apparatus to transmit a signal before the push-button returns to its initial position, the rod 28 has a spring catch 30 which is covered by a spring-controlled sleeve 32 on the inward movement but which catches in the rod 8 on its return, thus ensuring that the main electro-magnet is kept in circuit until the signal is sent. A volute spring 41 returns the carrier-wheel 19 with pin 21 to its initial position.

Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 14,657. Rickie, A. S., and Shield, H. June 27. Hydraulic presses.-In a press for baling cotton, jute, &c., the material to be operated upon is supplied to a number of rotating or reciprocating filling-boxes b, which carry the material beneath a follower g, operated by a simple or compound hydraulic ram f. Each of the filling-boxes b has at its lower end a pair of hinged doors o, which are connected together to act simultaneously. As the follower g descends, the doors o are pressed open and allow the material to enter the baling-chamber c. The doors o are closed by counterbalance weights when the follower g again rises. A number of automatically-operated fingers m are pivoted to the upper part of the baling-chamber c, to retain the material when the follower g recedes. When the required number of charges have been pressed into the lower chamber c, the follower g is retained in its lowered position by means of sliding plates l, which are pushed inwards over the ends of rods k connected to the follower. The material is compressed in the chamber c by the follower i actuated by hydraulic rams h. The follower g is restored to its raised position by a counterbalance weight, or by one or more hydraulic rams. The sliding plates l for locking the follower g in its lowered position may be operated by hand or by a hydraulic ram, fed with water from a pipe q connected to the supply pipe for the rams h. The retaining- fingers m may be omitted, notches being cut in the walls of the baling-chamber to retain the material. The ram f and follower g may be arranged to press the first charge of material into the chamber c by their weight, without the use of hydraulic pressure. Safety gear of any kind may be used for preventing the rise of the rams h when the fingers mare turned in.
