Patent GB-189908671-A (GB)
Title: A Coin Operated Machine for Exhibiting Pictures, Discoursing Music, and Distributing Photographs or Merchandize.
Inventor: HEISSENBERGER JOHN
Filed: 1899-04-25
Granted: 1900-04-21
Abstract: 8671. Heissenberger, J. April 25. Stereoscopes.-Stereoscopic views held by grooved ribs 27 upon a skeleton drum 18 are viewed through an eye-piece 13 by the aid of electric light emanating from a box F within the drum, which is driven by a spring motor B and controlled by a second motor E, while a musical box G<1> is simultaneously driven by a third motor G. To obtain the required intermittence of rotation, the spokes 21 of the drum, which are bent inwards, are formed or fitted with spurs 22 which escape through a notched disc 31 slowly rotated by the second motor. The number of times the instrument is used is recorded by a cyclometer 26. The apparatus is set going when a short shaft X at right-angles to the axis of the notched disc is slightly turned so that a bent arm 37 is drawn from a slot 33 in the disc, an arm 36 presses a resilient electric terminal 39 against a rigid one 40, and an arm (not shown) disengages a bell crank 51 from the fly of the third motor. The coin falling from a shoot 56 rocks the shaft bearing the arms by striking a fourth arm 35. Coins of less diameter than the gauge of the shoot drop to an incline 59 which deflects them into a side shoot 60. Photographs or other articles contained in two casings 76 are delivered from either at will by slides 91 moving with levers 88 having a common fulcrum 87 and bearing intergeared rockers 98 with bevelled faces. The rocker of whichever lever is moved encounters a stationary pin, and rises over it, so clearing itself and the other rocker from the push-rods, which through their intervention operate the levers. At the end of the exhibition a bevelled lug 104 on the notched disc causes a bell crank 105 to reset the rockers. A choice of two articles is thus afforded. The articles are piled in receptacles 78, having at the mouth spring lips 84 which are separated to set the articles free when the receptacle is inverted into the casing and the lips pass into holes 86 in the bottom.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Cutting Corks.
Inventor: NOEL CHARLES
Filed: 1899-09-06
Granted: 1900-08-25
Abstract: 18,023. Noel, C., and Clerc, J. Sept. 6. Cork, cutting.-Fig. 3 shows an end elevation, and the other Figures detail views, of the cutting-machine. The cork squares or cubes are fed between the inclined adjustable guides 19, 20, Fig. 4, from which they are delivered successively into a recess in the oscillating feed-lever 23, where they are held on the adjustable screws 25, between the stop plate 24 and the spring-controlled levers 27. The lever 23 is oscillated by the cam 30 and spring 35, to deliver the corks between the gripping-jaws 40, 44, Fig. 10. The jaws 40 are mounted on spring-controlled sliding rods 43, and are normally held back by the rollers 42 engaging the plate 41. When a cork is brought by the lever 23 into position between a pair of the gripping- jaws, the plate 41 is operated by a cam to disengage the corresponding jaw 40. The jaws 44 are mounted so as to rotate on the disc. 34, which is rotated intermittently, through a quarter revolution at each step, to bring the corks into position to be cut by the knife 58. The rotation of the disc 34 is effected by the crank 53 engaging in the slots 55<1>. In the intervals of rest, the disc is locked by the cam-actuated latch 51. The knife 58 is mounted on slides 56, 57, and is operated by a cam, through a lazy-tongs arrangement of levers, to advance it to and retract it from the cutting position, on each movement of the disc 34. The slides 56, 57 are reciprocated transversely to the movement of the knife, through a pair of rods 96 actuated by the cams 83. The rods 96 are provided with adjusting-nuts 90, by means of which the inclination of the knife can be regulated for cutting conical corks. The spindle 75, Fig. 16, of each of the jaws 44 is provided with a pinion 76, adapted to be rotated by the toothed segment 74, and with a disc 77, which is recessed to fit on the face of the disc 73. By this means the pinion 76 is held in proper position for engagement with the segment 74, the disc 73 being cut away opposite the teeth of the segment, to permit the rotation of the spindle 75 when the segment engages the pinion 76. When a cork is brought into position to be cut, the segment and disc 74, 73 are oscillated by the cam 69, Fig. 4, acting through the link 71. This effects the rotation of the gripping jaws and the cork, so that the cork is cut to shape.

Title: Improved Nickel Salt and Process of Making Same.
Inventor: FRASCH HANS ALBERT
Filed: 1901-01-04
Granted: 1901-04-20
Abstract: 284. Frasch, H. A. Jan. 4. Nickel-ammonium chloride.-A new nickelammonium chloride is prepared by treating a solution containing nickel, mixed or not with other metals, with ammonia in excess, and then adding sodium chloride or other suitable salt till no further precipitation occurs. The precipitate is filtered off and washed with a saturated solution of sodium chloride containing free ammonia. The salt thus obtained has six equivalents of ammonia to one of nickel. Its formula may be represented as either :-Ni(NH4)2Cl2 + 4 NH3, or NiCl2 + 6 NH2. It forms a crystalline mass, of violet to purple colour, is very hygroscopic, and is freely soluble in water, forming a blue solution. The solution emits a strong odour of ammonia, and gives up two-thirds of its ammonia on boiling. The salt is insoluble in concentrated salt solution, such as sodium or potassium chloride or sulphate. The salt is suitable for nickel-plating. This process may be used for the separation of nickel from other metals, such as cobalt and copper.
