Title: Improvements in prepayment meter mechanisms
IPC: G07F15/06
Filed: 1930-01-04
Abstract: 346,284. Prepayment meter mechanism. BRITISH INSULATED CABLES, Ltd., and WILSON, L. B., Redgate, Eccleston Park, both in Prescot, Lancashire. Jan. 4, 1930, No. 397. [Class 27.] Prepaying fixed charges.-In a prepayment meter for electricity or other commodity having means for paying a fixed charge, alternate coins only are effective for setting forward the usual differential mechanism until the fixed charge has been paid, all the coins then becoming effective for obtaining a supply. For each coin inserted a shaft 3 is rotated through 180‹, the shaft carrying two wheels 4, 5 each provided with a single tooth 6, 7, which are arranged at 180‹ apart. The tooth 6 drives a wheel 8 connected to a wheel 12 through a ratchet drive 10, 11, the wheel 12, through a wheel 18, driving a wheel 20 fixed to a shaft 21. The wheels 8, 12 are loose on a shaft 13 and the shaft 21 drives one part of a differential mechanism controlling the supply of electricity &c. A ratchet wheel 17 fixed to the shaft 13 is driven from the tooth 7 through a wheel 14 and pawl 16, so that the shaft 13 is rotated only after the insertion of alternate coins. A gear wheel 22 freely mounted on the shaft 13 meshes with a wheel 23 gearing with a wheel 24 fixed on the shaft 21. The wheel 22 becomes effective to drive the shaft 21, when a clutch 26, rotating with but slidable on the shaft 13, is moved into engagement with a toothed boss 25 on the wheel 22. The clutch 26 is moved by a pin 28 on a lever 29 engaging a circumferential groove 27. In its other position, the clutch engages a toothed boss 33 of a counting wheel 32 loose on the shaft 13, the clutch being retained by an inner edge 35 of the counting wheel holding the lever 29 against the action of a spring 37. Each time the shaft 13 is rotated, the counting wheel is also rotated until a notch 36 in its edge 35 allows the lever 29 to be moved by its spring to engage the clutch with the wheel 22. When this happens, all the coins inserted are effective to rotate the shaft 21, and the counting wheel is at a zero marking as indicated by a pointer 38. At the end of a predetermined period, for example a quarter, an official rotates the counting wheel until the pointer indicates the number of coins representing the fixed charge for the next period, this setting disengaging the clutch from the wheel 22 .and engaging it with the wheel 32.

Abstract: 763,689. Detecting leaks in vacuum systems. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Jan. 6, 1955 [Jan. 6, 1954], No. 449/55. Class 106 (2). Leaks are detected in vacuum systems, e.g. an electric discharge tube 1 by spraying as at 15 or surrounding the tube with an indicating gas such as hydrogen or helium and connecting a manometer 13 to the interior of the system by means of a duct containing, between the tube 1 and the manometer 13, an absorbing material 12, e.g. silica gel, which absorbs the gaseous constituents of air and most other gases but allow the indicating gas to pass or absorbs it to a smaller extent. The silica gel 12 may be maintained at a low temperature, as shown.

Abstract: 1463272 Loading and stripping sheets COMPAGNIE INDUSTRIELLE DES TELECOMMUNICATIONS CIT-ALCATEL 6 Jan 1975 [7 Jan 1974] 503/75 Heading B8R [Also in Division H4] To load a sheet 22 on to a rotary drum 3 the sheet is placed on a drawer 14 which is then pushed into the casing 2 causing stop 17 on the drawer to release grippers 12 on the drum to grip the sheet which is then wound up on to the drum. Rotation of the drum is brought about by a rack on the drawer engaging a gear on the drum. To unload the sheet the drum is stopped in a predetermined angular position by a detent 8 which engages a slot 10 in a cam 9 fixed to the drum. The drawer is then pulled out and stop 17 releases the grippers at the end of drawer travel. A resilient guide 18 engages the drum tangentially between the extreme positions of the drum for central loading or unloading of the sheet. Magnets 24 and 25 hold the drawer in the open position to allow the operator to place a sheet on the drawer with its front edge in the open jaws of the grippers 12. The invention may be applied to a facsimile device having a reading/writing head 4.
