Title: Registering Pay Machine.
Filed: 1913-03-08
Granted: 1914-03-09
Abstract: 5824. Soc. GÚnÚrale Franþaise des Caisses Payeuses et de Contr¶le SystÞme Janik. March 8, 1912, [Convention date]. Cash registers with operating - means and with money-manipulating apparatus; zeroizing-mechanism. - Consists in improvements in the change-making cash registers described i n Specifications 15,218,/04 and 20,908/08. Stepped disks 2 are adjusted by toothed sectors 1 coupled to the shaft 20 by plungers 23 held against studs 20' on the shaft 20 by pawls 7 against the action of springs 23' until, on rotation, a depressed key releases the pawl 7. The depression of a key presses out a bolt 8 by moving the sector 10, and, if no key is depressed, the bolt releases the pawl 7, a recess c being provided in toothed wheels 3 to prevent transmission of the necessary small movement. The adjustment of the stepped disk groups according to the keys depressed is effected as described in Specification 8021/05. Sectors 18 connected to sectors 1 drive toothed wheels 3 to rotate the counting-wheels 4 and type-wheels 5. To allow the wheel 3 to return to zero after each operation, it is loosely mounted on an axiallv movable shaft 26 and is moved out of gear with wheels 4, 5 at each operation by a cam 30 actuating a slide 33 having a bevelled end acting on a bevel piece 26<1> on the shaft 26. The wheel 28 carrying the cam is given one revolution each operation. Pins on the shaft prevent axial movement of the wheel 3 thereon, and stops on the wheel 3 engage therewith to prevent the wheel from running back past zero. A second cam 37 on the wheel 28 actuates a bell-crank lever 49 to engage a locking-disk 50 on the counting-shaft to prevent return movement thereof after the beginning of the crank rotation. A toothed wheel 37<1>, with teeth on half its periphery, is rigidly connected to the wheel 28, and rotates the wheel 28<1> to effect transfer, the smooth half preventing actuation until the sectors 18 have been adjusted; a deep tooth engaging therewith meanwhile locks the wheel 28<1>. To prevent depression of any key 12 after beginning an operation, a disk 45<1> on the driving-wheel 97 actuates a bell-crank lever 45, which gives an axial movement to a shaft 46 to cause pins 47<1> to engage the ends of the non-adjusted, or the notches 48 of the adjusted, sectors 10. To return the sectors 38 after operation, a member 39 is detachably mounted on thrust-rods g, which are returned by a shoulder a on a toothed sector 42 engaging with a stop 43 thereon. The coin-receptacles have perforations in order that the contents may be seen, and the magazines of coin-tubes M are secured in the casing by two fingers housed in recesses in the casing wall and rotatable into recesses in the magazines by cranks. Milled screws may also be used.

Title: A Perpetual Heat Engine, Worked by liquid Air or the like.
Inventor: NEWGASS GERALD AUGUSTUS
IPC: F03G7/10
Filed: 1913-03-28
Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 7335. Newgass, G. A. March 28. Self-driving machines.-Relates to a machine intended to utilize the heat of the atmosphere through the medium of liquid air or the like. The liquid air &c. is enclosed in a chamber c formed in non-conducting material b within a cylinder a. A non-conducting float i normally cuts off a column of mercury d from the chamber, the mercury being in contact with a piston-rod f. The piston-rod is connected to a shaft (not shown). An adjustable screw-plug h regulates the height of the mercury column. More than one cylinder &c. may be employed. The action is stated to be as follows :-The liquid air in the chamber is isolated from external heat until the piston-rod and mercury column are near the limit of the up-stroke; the position of the float is then such that the mercury comes in contact with the liquid air and heats it to atmospheric temperature at approximately constant volume. The air therefore expands adiabatically, doing useful work, the air being again liquefied, partly as the result of the work done during expansion and partly by compression on the return strike of the piston.

Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 15,862. Sykes, W. E. July 9. Gear-cutting. - In gear-cutting maehines of the type using a reciprocating pinion-shaped cutter, means are provided to tilt the cutter from the work during the non-cutting stroke. The cutter g is rotatably mounted in a toolholder g<2> which is pivoted at g<4> and is adapted to be rotated synchronously with the work piece, for generating the tooth curve through gearing g<5>, g<6> from a spindle h carried by the sliding carriage A<2> and rotated by a worm-wheel h<2> driven from the same source that rotates the work. The tool-box has seatings b, b<1> to prevent horizontal, vertical, and angular displacements, and also a hook bearing b<2> which relieves the strain on the pivot pin during cutting. Attached to the tool-box is a bar w passing through an adjustable friction bearing w<1> carried by the frame of the machine, so that as the carriage moves backward after cutting, the tool box is tilted until a stop e contacts with a lug e<1>. In cutting straight spur teeth, the shaft h may be prismatic in cross-section and does not rotate during cutting; but in cutting single or double helical gears, rotary motion has to be given to the cutter corresponding to the helix to be cut; this is accomplished by providing helical grooves in the bar h which engage projections in the boss of the worm-wheel h<2>, so that the cutter spindle is rotated during cutting through the gear-wheels g<6>, g<5>.
