Title: A coin-freed vending machine
IPC: G07F5/26
Filed: 1936-11-18
Abstract: 480,384. Coin - freed article delivery apparatus. WISTOFT, S. Nov. 18, 1936, No. 31645. Addition to 460,949. [Class 27] In order to prevent premature rotation of the bell-crank lever 13, 15 described in the parent Specification and fraudulent release of the separating plate 6, the lever 13, 15 is of the form shown in Fig. 4 and has a pin 15a engaging an S - shaped slot 33 ... 35 in a plate 32, Fig. 1, pivoted at 31 and connected by a spring 41 to a lever 16 which is rocked by a pin 24 on the disc 20 that is rotated, when the door of the goods compartment is opened and closed. The lever 16 is rotatable and slidable on the pivot pin 31 by means of an elongated slot 36, and has a curved nose 37 which slips under a lug 38 on the plate 32, when the door is first opened after prepayment to obtain the article in the outer space 7 in the compartment 1. The pin 15a is maintained by the spring 41 in the end notch 34 of the S-groove thereby preventing rotation of the lever 13, 15 and release of the plate 6. When the door is closed, the lever 16 acts on the lug 31 and rotates the plate 32, the pin 15a travelling in the S-slot to the other end notch 33. As it passes along the portion 35, the lever 13, 15 is rocked to release the plate 6 and render the goods in the space 8 accessible after a second prepayment. In a modification, Fig. 7, the plate 6 is telescopic and comprises a double part 48 slidable on part 49 under the action of a spring 50, the parts being held extended by a pawl 12 carried by the pivot pin 14 of the lever 13, 15. When this lever is actuated as hereinbefore described, the pawl 12 is moved and the plate 48 slides on the .plate 49 so that its-upper edge becomes freed from the shoulder 9 of the compartment and the double plate can fall down, rendering the space 8 accessible. In another modification, Fig. 10, the plate 6 has a boxlike portion 52 slidable on an axle 14, the plate being normally held in position by a plate 10 in the box 52 resting on pins 12 on the axle 14. The lever 16 is also slidable on the axle 14 and during the closing of the door 3 after the sale of goods in the compartment 8, an arm integral with the lever 16 engages behind an arm on the axle to rotate this and move the pins 12 from under the plate 10. The rotation of the axle 14 is completed in each direction by a spring 59 attached to an arm 61. In a further modification, Fig. 13, the partition 6 is pivoted on a fixed axle 65 about which a lever 16, 66 also rocks, the arm 16 being actuated by opening and closing the door, while the arm 66 has a pin 67 which engages a shoulder 68 in a rod 69 and moves this, during the closing of the door, to release a catch 74 and allow the flap 6 to drop. In another form, similar to that shown in Fig. 13, the lever 16, 66 is omitted and the lever 69 is rocked directly by a pin on the disc 20, that is rotated by the door of the goods compartment.

Title: An improved cathode-ray tube device for generating ultra high-frequency oscillations
IPC: H03B13/00
Filed: 1945-11-24
Abstract: 604,249. Cathode-ray tubes. PHILIPS LAMPS, Ltd. Nov. 24, 1945, No. 31766. Convention date, July 11, 1940. [Class 39 (i)] For generating ultra-high-frequency oscillations, a concentrated beam of electrons moving at a uniform velocity is deflected by changes in a transverse field and travels towards a plurality of electrodes, relatively spaced in the direction of movement of the electrons, the first electrode being apertured to pass the beam intermittently to impinge on the last electrode, two of the electrodes being united to form a hollow resonator tuned to the frequency of the oscillations set up by the intermittent flow of electrons through it. In one form a beam of electrons generated by cathode 1, Fig. 1, modulator 3, anode 5, focusing coil 7 and magnetic screen 8 is deflected by plates 9 in a plane so that it passes over opposite parts of an annular gap 25 in an electrode 17 which forms a resonator with collecting electrode 19 and annular box 23. The beam enters the resonator four times in one cycle of deflection and thus excites it at the frequency of four times the deflection frequency. The oscillation is conveyed to a dipole 35 by coaxial line 31, 33. A grid 27 midway between electrodes 17, 19 dynamically connected by condensers to earth and to a nodal point of the resonator suppresses secondary emission from electrode 19, which is coated with soot to reduce such emission. In a modification, the electron beam is ribbon-shaped. In another form, the beam is rotated in circle by pairs of plates 9, 10, Fig. 6, fed in quadrature, and strikes a number of apertures 26 arranged in a circle on electrode 17. In this case electrodes 17, 19 do not form the resonator which is formed by two intermediate apertured plates 47, 49. The nodal point of the resonator 51 thus formed is raised to a much higher potential than electrodes 17, 19 so as to reduce the electron transit time through them, which should not exceed one half cycle of the generated oscillation. The subject-matter of this Specification is identical with that of Specification 555,790.

[Also in Division G1] In a pressure indicator a pressure chamber 12 is connected through a conduit 17 to a high pressure area, such as the upstream side of a filter, and through a conduit 18 to the downstream side of the filter, and the arrangement is such that should an increase in pressure occur in the conduit 17, due to the filter becoming blocked, a piston 20 is moved down against a spring 40 to move magnets 36, 37, Fig. 6, away from an armature 66 which armature 66 is then attracted upwards by a fixed magnet 61 to project a stem 67 into an indicating position. A bimetallic ring 60 prevents operation of the indicator 66, 67 in the event of excessive pressure in conduit 17 due to low fluid flow at low temperatures. In a modification the armature 66 bridges contacts in a circuit to a warning lamp.
