Patent GB-190426376-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Cash Registering Tills
Inventor: SMITH MAURICE WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-12-03
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 26,376. Smith, M. W. Dec. 3. Receipts, checking and recording; counting - apparatus.- A cash-registering till of the kind wherein the coins are stored in different tubes, according to value, and the insertion or removal of a coin by means of a slide, flap, or like mechanism effects the registration of the introduction or removal of the coin, is shown in transverse section in Fig. 2 and in end elevation in Fig. 3. The coins are inserted into or removed from the vertical receptacles or tubes a by the slides c, which are not workable, owing to the counterbalanced catches d, when there is no coin to be introduced or removed. Each slide c has an equal movement, but the effective registering stroke is varied, the registration being effected by the pawl f and ratchet-wheel e. The upper and lower slides c are alike. The ratchet-wheels e actuate the shafts p, q, r, s, Fig. 6, which in turn actuate the wheels 14, 15, 16, 17 and the wheels 18, 19, 20, 21 free to rotate on the fixed shaft 22. The printing- wheels 23, 24, 25, 26, or the sections of the adding-mechanism, are attached to the wheels 18, 19, 20, 21. These printing- wheels print on the strip 27 through the medium of the inking-ribbon 28, by the downward movement of the cover 49 actuating the lever 51, the slide 52, and the printing-pad 55. When the cover 49 is raised, the pawl 57 advances the ratchet-wheel 59 to feed forward the recording- strip. A similar pawl mechanism winds the printing-ribbon 28 upon the drum 61. The transfer mechanism of the recorder or counter is shown in Fig. 7. The wheels 19, 20, 21 engage with the gear wheels 29, 30, 31, and carrying is effected by the pins 35 and the notched discs 39, 40, 41, which are coupled to the gear wheels 29, 30, 31, by a ratchet connection. The notched discs and the gear wheels may be fixed together. The multipleof-pounds drum 43 is separated from the pounds drum 26 by the shield or plate 44 fixed to the shaft 22. A gap in the shield is engaged by latches 46 carried by the drum or wheel 26. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 10<a>, the pins and notched wheels are dispensed with, and carrying is effected by latches 46. For recording halfcrowns, two slides are coupled together, one being an extra slide adjacent to the sixpenny slide, operated on the return movement of the main slide. The record strip may extend beyond the adding or printing mechanism for the addition of the operator's signature.

Abstract: 27,873. Thompson, W. P., [Brabrook, G. H.]. Dec.20. Rivets.- Relates to tubular rivets or studs which are shown employed as eyelets or lacing- hooks. The body 1 of the eyelet, Fig. 6, formed from a hard-metal alloy, has a flange a round which is cast the top 2, which may be ornamented. The top is preferably composed of a soft-metal alloy, such as stereotype metal or other composition which fuses at low temperatures, and in some cases the top is indented to retain a finishing-covering b of a composition such as celluloid or the like. Lacing-hooks are similarly made, the soft-metal shank 14 of the hook, Fig. 4, being cast round the flange 12 of the hard-metal barrel 11, and covered, if desired, with celluloid as in Fig. 10. In modifications of the lacing-hook, the overhanging portion 15, Fig. 4, may be curved downwardly to secure the laces better, or it may be cast round a solid rivet 54, Fig. 10, formed with prongs at its lower end which secure it to the material ; or, instead of the rivet, a thin cylindrical barrel closed at its upper end may be used.

Abstract: 12,097. Eagles, J. May 24. Hydraulic machines and apparatus.-An hydraulic machine for testing the strength of materials, of the kind described in Specification No. 7538, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Registering &c.], has the cylinder A attached to the bottom of the frame F which supports the piece G carrying the V-pieces on which are fulcrumed the knife-edges of the lever H, which also supports on knife-edges the stirrup I carrying the shackle K, a shackle E being also secured to the beam D attached to the piston-rod C. Pins L, M enable compression and shearing shackles to be attached. A stirrup N is shown attached having a V-piece P supporting a test bar Q, on which a transverse load is put by means of the jockeys R carried by the beam D. A spring bracket S is interposed between the lever H and the bracket T, the shocks being taken up by a dash-pot W or by a pair of dashpots, or by a single dash-pot underneath the balance S, the piston of which is connected to a pair of links U by a cross-piece. Several knifeedges may be fitted on the lever H to vary the sensibility and range of testing, and different spring balances may be used. Fluid is admitted to the cylinder by the valve X, the handle of which carries a vertical hanging bar Y so as to be lowered by contact with the beam D and the pressure automatically cut off, the action being accelerated by a stop Z on the bracket T arresting the other end of the beam D, the necessary play being allowed by the piston cross-head. The piston is fitted to withstand pressure on either side in the usual manner, and the lower end of the cylinder may be connected to an adjacent tank, the head from which is sufficient to raise the machine parts into position.

Abstract: 23,680. Hunter, G. B. Oct. 24. Hulls; sectional vessels; tanks. - Sectional ships are constructed with detachable buoyant side portions extending to the bottom of the hull, to adapt them for passage through locks and canals of smaller dimensions than t h e ships. The width of the main portions a, b, Figs. 1 and 2, of the hull is determined by the available width of the canals and locks, the sides are sloped to correspond with the lock walls, and the bottom c is made double and utilized for water ballast. The side portions d, e are adapted to form waterballast tanks, and also to be detached when it is desired to float the vessel in sections through the lock. The main parts of the ship are temporarily secured by bolts, rivets, &c., the various parts being separated when required by careening. Curved portions f, g, secured in recesses h, form detachable continuations of the sides. In order that the parts d, e may float, a coffer-dam z and float j may be employed. The parts a, b are trimmed to an even keel by admitting water to the double bottoms. Web frames t and doublings u are fitted to the decks and sides where the main parts a, b are united, and a special keelson v is also fitted at this part of the ship. After passing through the canal, the various parts are permanently assembled together.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Current Converting Dynamo Electric Machines.
Filed: 1906-10-31
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 24,336. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 31. Rotary converters.-Consists in means for transforming direct current into alternating current of variable voltage. An inverted rotary converter C takes direct current from the mains D, the alternating current passing in series through the armature of an alternator G, which is rigidly mounted on the converter shaft. The resultant voltage between the alternating-current mains A may be varied by controlling the alternator field current by means of a rheostat R'. A switch S enables the field current to be reversed, so that the alternator may act in opposition to the converter. The speed of the combination, and hence the frequency of the alternating-current, may be controlled by a rheostat R in the converter field circuit.
