Title: Improvements in coin freed mechanism
IPC: G07F5/26
Filed: 1924-11-03
Abstract: 243,506. Ayliffe, H. Nov. 3, 1924. Delivery of articles stored in piles.-In coin. freed apparatus in which a plurality of drawers are provided which can be. selectively operated by the insertion of a coin or coins in a common slot, the drawers are automatically freed after prepayment in such a manner that any one may be pulled out, the pulling out of that drawer automatically locking the others in closed posi. tion. The apparatus comprises a number of drawers 1, Fig. 1, each having a draw-rod 2 with knob 3, and an aperture 4 through which the lowest article of a corresponding column falls tc an inclined delivery tray when a drawer is pulled out. Extending rearwardly from each drawer is a flat bar 5 having V-notches 6 with which the pointed ends of locking-bars 7 are adapted to engage, the bars 7 being arranged in sets of one, two or three in stepped formation between the bars 5 and at right-angles to them. The ends of the bars 7 have slight clearances from the notches 6 and, when one drawer is pulled out, the V-notches of its extension 5 press the other ends of the adjacent locking-bars into engagement with the notches in the extensions of the adjacent drawers, thereby locking them in closed position. The remaining drawers are locked because certain of the bars 7 are connected to move in unison by rods 8. Coin action, weight; coin-discharging mechanism.-Inclined cam-pieces 16 on a slidable bar 15 which is normally locked by a projection 13 on a weighted lever 12 engaging teeth 14 thereon, obstruct rollers 17 on the extensions 5 and prevent the drawers from being pulled out until after prepayment. A coin inserted through a shoot into a bucket 11 pivoted at 19 on the lever 12 tilts the lever and frees the rod 15. When a drawer is pulled out, the rod 15 is moved longi. tudinally against a spring 18 and a cam 20 thereon tilts the bucket 11 about its pivot to discharge the coin. The bucket is then returned by a spring 21. Testing coins. - The coin shoot is inclined slightlv towards one side and has an aperture in that side through which small coins fall.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a Carrier-Telephony System

IPC: H04M7/16
Filed: 1966-06-13
Abstract: 1,178,694. Carrier telephony systems; radio signalling. GENERAL ELECTRIC & ENGLISH ELECTRIC COMPANIES Ltd. 20 July, 1967 [13 June, 1966], No. 26278/66. Headings H4K, H4L and H4R. In a carrier telephony system such as that of Specification 1,178,693, in which a number of subscribers sets operate on individual send and receiver carrier frequencies and in which in order to make a call the calling subscriber operates on the frequencies allotted to the subscriber he wishes to call, each subscribers set has a device which responds to the absence of the transmitting carrier frequency of a subscriber being called to provide an indication that the called subscriber is already engaged as the calling subscriber in an existing call. The arrangement enables the caller to distinguish between absence of a reply due to the called subscriber being absent, from absence of reply due to the called subscriber being engaged as a calling subscriber in an existing call, and therefore transmitting on a different frequency from that allotted to him. As described a relay is provided operated by the received carrier signal and having contacts which complete a positive feedback path over the subscribers receive amplifier in the unoperated condition of the relay, so that when no carrier of the appropriate frequency is received the amplifier oscillates at audio frequency to reproduce a busy tone in the telephone receiver.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of coking pitch and other products from coal tar or related materials
Inventor: SCHOLTZ JACOBUS HUGO
IPC: C10C1/04
Filed: 1957-08-21
Abstract: 855,626. Coking pitch. SOUTH AFRICAN IRON & STEEL INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION Ltd. Aug. 21, 1957, No. 26448/57. Class 55 (2). [Also in Group XX] Pitch, which is suitable for coking in normal coke ovens, or may be used as a binder in the manufacture of carbon bricks or linings for blast furnaces, for cementing carbon bricks in a blast furnace, as an ingot mould lacquer or for use as a core compound in foundries, is produced by distilling off volatile products from coal tar or coal tar products or from similar products obtained in the heat treatment of coal, shales or the like carbonaceous materials, until a pitch is obtained as residue having the following properties: volatile matter of 10-20% swelling index of 3-7 preferably 3-4¢, and a stall point at 280-310 C. The stall point is measured by stirring a small hot molten sample of pitch in a can by means of a thermometer or thermocouple while cooling until the material stalls, i.e. becomes too viscous to stir, and reading the tempertaure at this point. Alternatively the temperature is observed at which the previously shiny coking pitch becomes dull. The pitch may be heated by means of submerged combustion, the burner being shut off at 10-15 C. below the optimum temperature, steam being introduced into the burner to drive off the volatile matter until the optimum stage is reached.

Title: Improvements in or relating to manhole bases and like gulley structures
IPC: B28B7/02
Filed: 1931-09-22
Abstract: 378,680. Inspection chambers for drainage systems. WATERHOUSE, J. 0., 100, Cecil Street, Watford, Hertfordshire. Sept. 22, 1931, No. 26475. [Class 33.] Manhole bases or like gulley structures are made, e.g. of concrete, in a mould having interchangeable sections which are chosen to correspond with the angle, or angles, of entry of the branch gulley, or gulleys, into the main gulley. The Figure shows, in perspective, a mould section, the ridge 18 forming the branch gulley being set to form an overhung portion on the branch gulley corresponding to the recess 121. This ensures that water, experiencing a sudden change of direction in the gulley, will not overflow therefrom. The plane surfaces of the moulded structure slope generally towards the main gulley, this being effected by providing corresponding slopes 21 on the mould sections. The branch gulleys may be arranged in staggered formation to prevent water from one gulley from entering another. The branch gulleys may be formed with overhung walls on both sides.
