Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 9300. National Cash Register Co., [National Cash Register Co.]. April 13. Cash registers with operating-means; keys for special transactions; keyboard interlocks.-Relates to machines of the kind in which the operating-handle is released by the setting of two keyboard elements, such as the clerks' keys and the setting-lever in Specification 17,534/08, the improvement providing means for doing away with one of these necessary manipulations for the use of any special counter at will so as to facilitate quick operation. The counters are arranged as described in Specification 2943/01. The toggle release-mechanism for the driving- motor is the same as in Specification 17,534/08. and there is now provided a spring 91 tensioned between a lug 92 on one of the toggle arms 54 and a lever 90 which is adapted to abut against a pin 98 on a perforated disk 96 driven by gearing from the clerk's bank segment 24. By this means the toggle is upset by the spring 91 for the corresponding counter selected, so that manipulation is only required of the clerk's key. for that counter to release the machine. An overhanging arm 93 of the lever 90 prevents dislocation of the parts.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Automobile Torpedoes.
Inventor: DODD FRANK WILLIAM
IPC: F42B19/26

Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 16,934. Dodd, F. W. July 23. [Cognate Application, 27,054/13.] Actuating by compressed air; free-piston pumps.- Consists in propelling torpedoes by the direct and sole action of a rearward ejection of water from one or more tubes by compressed air, which may be heated and mixed with steam in the usual way. As shown, several cylinders A, Fig. 1, disposed horizontally within the torpedoes, are connected to a common central outlet G, through non-return hinged valves E and to a common compressed-air distribution valve C. Water is admitted into the space surrounding the cylinders by a central pipe K open at the nose of the torpedo, or by bulging pockets H<1> at the side, and flows into the cylinders through non-return valves D, the head causing this flow of water being due to the depth of the torpedo and to its travel. The compressed-air admission valve C is worked through suitable gearing by a small compressed-air motor N, or by. a screw propeller 0, which is caused to rotate by the travel of the torpedo. To utilize the air expansively, the admission to each cylinder is cut off before the end of the stroke of a piston B by a differential valve P, Fig. 3, which is again opened by the return stroke of the piston. The air exhaust is led away by a pipe M. opening out in an enlargement G<1> of the water outlet. The piston may be fitted with a sealing-washer of celluvert, and is extended forward to shield the hot wall of the cylinder from contact with water ; the cylinders may also be lagged externally with asbestos.

Title: Improvements in Fluid Controlled Brakes for Motor Driven Vehicles.
Inventor: HALL HIRAM TUBBS
IPC: B60T17/02
Filed: 1913-07-31
Granted: 1914-07-30
Abstract: 17,608. Hall, H. T. July 31. Actuating; combinations of interdependent valves; piston and tubular valves. - In air brakes for motor - vehicles, in which a piston effects the disengagement of the driving-gear of the air - compressor when a certain reservoir pressure is obtained, a pipe leading from the underside of this piston is connected at 74, Fig. 7, to a regulating-valve, which is connected at 73 to the reservoir. The valve comprises a tubular valve 63, controlled by a diaphragm 61 acted on by a spring 67, which is adjusted by means of a screwed head 68 with perforations 69 to which access is obtained through a hole 70 in the casing. In the normal position shown, the valve 63 connects the port 74 to atmosphere by a port 66; but when the reservoir, pressure exceeds a certain degree depending on the adjustment of the spring 67, such pressure, acting on the diaphragm through a port 72, raises the valve and passes through ports 75, 74 to disengage the driving-gear. The driver's valve of the air-brake apparatus comprises a rotary disk 77, Fig. 10, which is formed with a through port 100 and cavity 99, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 11, and works over a seat formed with a port 79 leading to atmosphere, ports 81, 82, 83, 84 of graduated sizes leading to the brakecylinder pipe, and another port 85 communicating with the reservoir. The port 85 communicates with the upper side of the valve 77 by a valve 89, which is normally closed by a spring 91, but is opened by a shoulder 97, Fig. 13, on the stem 93 of the valve 77, when this valve is turned to connect the reservoir to the brake cylinders for applying the brakes. The brakes are gradually applied by bringing the port 100 successively over the ports 84...81. Release of the brakes is obtained by causing the cavity 99 to connect ports 79, 81. The rotation of the handle head 103 of the driver's valve is transmitted to the tubular extension 104 of the rotary disk by interfitting teeth on these parts.
