Title: Improvements in Cash Registers and Indicators.
Inventor: WORKMAN FREDERICK JOSEPH
Filed: 1904-09-16
Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 19,925. Workman, F. J. Sept. 16. Receipts, checking and recording; counting-apparatus.-Apparatus of the type described in Specification No. 12,587, A.D. 1904, is modified in several details. In the registering-mechanism, carrying is effected by means of a pawl X, Fig. 2, pivoted to an arm X<1> on the transmitter P. The pawl X also serves, in its normal position, to lock the registering-wheel, having for this purpose a projection or ridge X<3> which is engaged by a stud or studs on one or both sides of a dog I. The back of the pawl is grooved to receive the dog, which can slide also in a guide J carried by a bar j<1>. A spring j<3> presses the dog towards the wheel, and a screw j<2> is provided in the guide J for adjusting the limit of outward movement of the dog. The dog is pivoted to the graduated lever L' of the registering- lever L, and the lever L<1> is connected by a link O to the arm O<1> carrying the registering-pawl 0, these parts being so designed that, on the descent of the lever L, the dog I frees the pawl X before the pawl O engages a tooth of the registering- wheel. The figured tablets indicating the amount of the purchase are displayed at the top of the case instead of at the back. Each tablet is carried by a rod N, Fig. 1, sliding in a perforated guide-bar P and pivoted to a lever M. To the other end of the lever is pivoted a member D having a notch d', which is engaged by the projecting end B<2> of the corresponding key-lever B when this is depressed. On the release of the key-lever, the member D is drawn down and the tablet raised. A bar C<1> strikes the members D and moves them outof engagement with the key-levers when the apparatus is next used. This bar is carried by arms attached to a shaft C, which also bas an arm (not shown) adapted to be engaged by a spring nose on the catch K of the cash-drawer S when the last-named moves outwards. The release of the cash-drawer is effected by means of a bar resting on the ends B<2> of the key-levers and attached to arms on the shaft A, this bar being linked to an arm H which engages the catch K when the drawer is closed. The numbers of times that the cash-drawer, and a lid provided in the case for the inspection of the mechanism, are opened, may be registered by wheels, actuated by pawls which are connected respectively to the bar C<1> and to the lid.

Title: Attachment of Metals to Objects of Fused Silica and Analogous Material.
Inventor: BOTTOMLEY JAMES FRANCIS
Filed: 1904-09-30
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 21,018. Bottomley, J. F., and Paget, A. Sept. 30. Insulation.-Relates to methods of attaching metals to objects of fused silica &c., for strengthening the silica and for providing means for utilizing the electrically-insulating properties of silica. The metal in some cases may be cast directly round the outside of the silica. Where portions only of the silica are surrounded by metal, sudden differences of strain may be avoided by slitting and graduating the thickness of the surrounding metal. The metal may be cast on in several layers, or an outer layer of a hard metal may be cast so as to leave between it and the silica a space which is subsequently filled with soft metal. The metal may be cast inside a mass of silica, the inner surface of the latter being roughened or shaped so as to retain the metal. In some cases, hollow spaces may be left between parts of the metal and silica, the spaces being formed by a yielding wrapping of asbestos in cord or other form. Where the wrapping is not continuous, the spaces are formed by longitudinal wrappings, the surface of the silica being made smooth on either side of the spaces, to facilitate movement of the metal at these points.

Abstract: 21,197. Muhleisen, J. A., Whitehead, A., and Ratcliff, W. D. Sept. 25. Motor road vehicles.-The dust raised by motor and other road vehicles is drawn by suction through wheel scoops and openended conduits into the interior of a box communicating with bellows worked by the vehicle, and is afterwards expelled through spiral and other chambers on to the road surface. The dust is drawn through wheel scoops z, Fig. 6, or through openmouthed conduits y, Fig. 4, into a partly flexible breeches pipe, and then passes alternately through flap valves k, j to orifices h, i in the side of the dust-collecting box c. The box is fixed to a frame 19, Fig. 2, which is reciprocated in vertical guides a by links connected to the crank 25 on the engine or other suitable shaft. The reciprocation of the box alternately expands and contracts the two pairs of bellows d, e situated above and below it, thus sucking the dust into the box and bellows and afterwards expelling it alternately through the tubes 2, 10 into the cone-shaped vessel 11, Fig. 9, which is secured by stays 14 within a larger vessel 13. The vessel 11 terminates in a spiral coil 12, which increases in bore towards the lower end and delivers the air and dust to a preferably pearshaped extension 17 of the vessel 13. Air collected by the motion of the vehicle enters the vessel 13, as shown by the arrow, and delivers the dust through the exit pipe 31 to the road surface. Numerous modifications in the detailed construction and arrangement of the apparatus are described. In one form of apparatus, two sets of dust-collecting boxes and bellows are arranged side by side, and are worked from a central crank-shaft, while the dust-laden air in some cases may be delivered to a third set of bellows apparatus before being finally expelled. One or more sets of bellows may be used and may be arranged either above, below, or on one or both sides of the dust box, while the latter may have a detachable bottom. In other forms of apparatus, the dust box is fixed to the guides a and the bellows are fixed to the reciprocating frame 19, while horizontal valves may be used in place of the valves k, j. A form of horizontal valve of leather or other flexible material is shown in Fig. 8 and has a lateral extension q forming the hinge, which is held in place by a spring clip. The box in some cases may be replaced by a flat plate having vertical and horizontal recesses to allow the dust to pass to and from the bellows. The orifices of the nozzles may be covered with wire-gauze or closed by valves worked from the front of the vehicle. A sliding cone clutch is used on the crank-shaft to put the apparatus out of gear when not required.
