Title: Coin-controlled Caretakers for Clothing and the like.
Inventor: KINSEY DAWSON BAGSHAW
IPC: G07F17/10
Filed: 1910-05-24
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 12,654. Kinsey, D. B. May 24.. Caretakers.-In caretakers for clothing &c., which are adapted to be secured after the insertion of a coin and reopened to permit the withdrawal of the articles after the insertion of a check, means are provided for alternately closing the coin and check slots, and for ensuring that the lock shall be operated only by the insertion of the correct coin and check. The locker is provided with a hinged door A, Fig. 2, normally secured by the engagement of a latch 8 with a wall 9 of the locker, withdrawal of the latch being prevented by the bolt 32.of a prepayment attachment P. The operator inserts a coin 15 in a slot 6, Fig. 4, and presses in a plunger 13, thereby pressing back a spring- controlled rod 17 and withdrawing an arm 45, Fig. 2, from beneath the check, which then passes to tha operator, and, through a link 20, moving forward a plug 2 to block the coin slot 6. Simultaneously a cam 28, Fig. 5, on the rod 17 moves a plate 27 to the right, Fig. 2, a pin 31 on the plate pressing back the bolt 32 out of the path of the nose 36 of the latch 8, and a spring 37 on the latch snapping in front of the bolt and holding it in the inoperative position, so that the latch 8 may now be withdrawn and the door opened. A spring e restores the plate 27. The movement of the plate 27 to the right forces out a spring-controlled rod 51 by means of a cam 53, Fig. 5, and, through a link 56, draws inwards a spring-controlled plug H, thereby uncovering a slot for the insertion of a check. When the articles are to be withdrawn, the operator inserts a check in the slot and presses back the rod 51 by means of a second plunger (not shown), whereupon the plate 27 withdraws the bolt, the arm 45 is returned to receive and support the check, the plug H is moved forward to close the check slot, and the plug 2 is withdrawn from the coin slot. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-The coin 15, if of correct size, bridges two uprights 82 and rests in front of the rod 17, which is formed with a central aperture i, thereby forming an abutment for a projection 12 on the plunger 13. The check acts similarly to the coin, and the check of each receptacle is formed with projections to co-act with corresponding grooves formed in the check support of that receptacle.

Title: Improvements relating to Reversible Fluid Pressure Turbines.
Inventor: BOAD SEPTIMUS MATTHEW
IPC: F01D1/30
Filed: 1910-06-20
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 14,865. Boad, S. M. June 20. Axial-flow type; reversing. - A reversible turbine is made with two concentric sets of blades o, p for high and low pressure working respectively. Two interconnected valves g, one at each end of the turbine, are provided for reversing. Each valve controls two inlet ports h, j leading to the blade sets o, p respectively, and an exhaust port i. When one valve connects the ports h and j the other connects the ports j and i. In the position shown, steam passes through the port h to the high-pressure blades o, whence it passes through the corresponding port h at the other end of the turbine. It is then led to the low-pressure blades p, and finally through the port to the exhaust port i.

Abstract: 29,825. Andersson, C. A. Dec. 22. Ploughs. - In motor ploughing-machines provided with two systems of ploughs carried by endless chains, bands, or the like, the ploughs in each system are arranged in series, and those in each series are displaced laterally relatively to one another and are arranged to cut to different depths. The shares and coulters are carried by transverse bars p, s on two pairs of chains b, c driven in opposite directions from the motor by bevel - gearing and by shafts h, i arranged one within the other. The shares and coulters are supported by links t, u and arms y. Each series of ploughs consists of two shares o, o<1>, with their two coulters, the rear shares o being arranged to plough to a greater depth than the front shares o<1>. The ploughs of each series are displaced laterally relatively to one another so as to follow one another in the same furrow as the machine moves forwards.

IPC: B05B1/30
Filed: 1911-02-01
Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 2607. Vacher, C. Feb. 1, 1910, [Convention date]. N o z z l e s with several outlets.- A. nozzle used for irrigation purposes is provided with means whereby the outer annulus of the jet may be divided into a number of parts longitudinally so that the jet is gradually broken up into spray after it leaves the nozzle. The outer casing 1, Fig. 2, is fitted with a tapered nozzle 4, and carries a loose collar 12 having an inclined slot in which a pin carried by the part 1 engages, so that on turning the sleeve 9 the collar 12 is slowly rotated. A series of vanes 16, Fig. 4, are mounted on pins 15 carried by the part 1, so that when the collar 12 is turned, the vanes may be made to project to any desired distance into the jet. The outer annulus is thus slightly retarded so that the whole jet is gradually converted into spray, thus covering a large area.

Title: A Mechanical Toy.
Inventor: LEWIS CHARLES AARON
IPC: A63H11/06
Filed: 1911-04-29
Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 10,410. Lewis, C. A. April 29. Mechanical toys.-In a jumping frog or other jumping animal toy the front legs rest on a shaft 2 supported by wheels 3, and the back legs are made in three pivoted sections 4, 5, 6. The sections 4 of the back legs are mounted on a rocking cranked shaft 9 operated through a connecting rod 13 by a cranked driving shaft 14. Rods 11, 12 pivoted respectively in the sides of the frog and the sections of the legs, bear on the sections 5 and 6 respectively at points beyond the pivots of such sections, and so extend the legs to cause the jump when the shaft 9 is operated. The shaft 14 is driven by a spring 27 wound by a shaft 18 and wingednut 26, and the toy is governed by a spring 28, which engages at each revolution a shaft 29 geared to the shaft 14, and so checks the mechanism momentarily. As the frog drops and alights upon the partly contracted legs, the spring arm is caused to escape the shaft 29 and the mechanism is again released. The momentary stopping of the mechanism causes the successive hopping movements.

Abstract: 19,084. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, Crowley, J. F., and Gowan, S. Aug. 25. [Addition to 23,641/10.] Spinning and doubling machines; driving- arrangements.-In speed regulators for electricallydriven ring spinning and doubling machines, wherein two cams are used having a defined ratio of rotation, the ratio is controlled by an adjustable masked ratchet arrangement. The shaft of one cam b is driven from that of the other by a link g, pawls e and a ratchet-wheel c, the pawls being held from engagement with the ratchet-wheel for determined periods by a cam-plate, the position of which is adjusted by a stop h. The ratchet-wheel is loose on the cam shaft, and drives it through gearwheels i, i<1>, i<2>, i<3>. The cam is reset, after doffing, by turning it in the reverse direction of the rotation imparted by the ratchet gear, a pointer k indicating the correct position.

On two of the pillars slides one cross-head L<1>, through which pass two screwed shafts K', K<2> engaging the cross-head for the purpose of moving it up and down as required, by means of gearing and a motor C', or by hand. The screwed rods move freely on the entablature. The rods K<1>, K<2> are attached to a second cross-head L<2> carrying a flat for one knife-edge of a steelyard J, the other knife-edge of which bears against a flat G<2> attached to a hydraulic cylinder G' secured to the bed-plate B. Guided on the other two pillars A<2>, A<4> are two uprights D', D<2> notched to take at any height a crosshead E which can be locked to them, the uprights being connected to a similar adjustable cross - head F attached to the hydraulic ram. The stress is applied between the cross-heads E and L'. The steelyard J is linked to a weighing - steelyard at a convenient height. The weight of the floating frame formed by the screwed shafts K', K<2>, cross-head L<2>, and an upper connecting-piece M<2> is counterbalanced by a lever M. The pinion C<5> for turning the screwed rods is elongated so as to remain in gear in all positions of the floating frame.
