Inventor: BRAUCHLIN GOTTLIEB
Filed: 1906-12-07
Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 27,946. Brauchlin, G. Dec. 7. Printing fabrics. -Relates to an apparatus for printing g measurement marks upon fabrics and for measuring them. The fabric is fed over a table by turning the spiked measuring- wheel 43, which actuates the type-wheels. The measuring-apparatus proper may be clamped in any position along a rod arranged horizontally over the table. The measuring-wheel 43 is connected by a sleeve 44 to a wheel 45 which drives the wheel 47 fixed to the disk 48 carrying the toothed segment 49. This segment drives the wheel 50 fixed to the shaft 6. Rotation of this shaft is prevented, after the segment has ceased to act, by a stop plate 53, fixed to the shaft. The shaft 6 is fixed to a casing 7, which thus rotates and carries with it the type-wheels, in which are mounted spring-actuated printing-plungers 14 protruded in turn by the adjustable cam 19. The type-wheels are mounted on a shaft 9 eccentric to the shaft 6 and are advanced step by step as follows:-The type-wheels 10, 11 have notches 20, and the units' wheel 10 is rotated by a pawl 31 engaging with one of these notches. The tens' wheel 11 is similarly rotated by a pawl 21 which comes into action at each complete rotation of the wheel 22 which carries it. The wheel 22 is rotated by a pin 78 fixed to the wheel 7, and is locked, except during this action, by a pawl 27. The type is accurately adjusted by cams 39, 40, which, at the proper moment, withdraw slides 35, Fig. 9, on the casing 7 from the path of the pins 38 on the type-wheels. The type is inked by a roller 68, Fig. 5, which is rotated by the wheel 66 engaging with the toothed segment 65 on the casing 7. The wheel 66 bears against a roller 69 in an ink trough. A knob 75 is used to turn the wheel 22 and bring the pawl 21 to the zero position.

Patent GB-190727403-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hoisting Gears.
Inventor: WINDHOFF HANS
Filed: 1907-12-11
Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 27,403. Windhoff, H. Dec. 11. Lifting and lowering; pulley-blooks; winches. -Relates to hoisting-devices of the kind in which the axial pressure required to engage a friction clutch for preventing running-down is caused by the load itself, and comprises an improved construction and arrangement in which skew gears are employed in place of worm gearing. Fig. 2 shows an horizontal section of one form of pulley-block. The hand-chain wheel is fixed to the shaft 2 on which helical teeth are cut gearing with the wheel 4 which turns with the chainpulley 5. Slidable disks 7 are non-rotatably fitted on the shaft 2 and alternate with disks 8 similarly fitted to the sleeve 9, which can rotate in one direction only. The load acts on the gear-wheel 4 through the pulley 5 and tends to force the shaft 2 in the direction of the arrow, thus jamming the friction disks together. The axle 2 and sleeve 9 are thus clutched together and are prevented from rotating by a pawl gearing with the ratchet teeth 14 on the sleeve. When power is applied to the chain-wheel 1 to lift the load, the pawl allows the sleeve and shaft to rotate, a ball bearing being provided at 11 to reduce the friction due to the axial thrust. When the chain-wheel is pulled in the opposite direction, the action between the helical teeth tends to move the shaft in the axial direction opposite to that indicated by the arrow, thus releasing the friction clutch and allowing the load to descend by an amount corresponding to the rotation of the chain-wheel 1. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the load is lowered by the action of the lever 32, slanting teeth 33 on which engage with similar teeth on the boss of a chain-guide 35 secured to the casing. When the lever is pulleddown, it moves the collar 31 and the shaft 2 to the left, thus releasing the friction clutch and allowing the load to run down. The speed of lowering is governed by the balls 39 which move the box 9 to the left when the speed becomes excessive, so that the box overtakes the shaft 2 and the friction disks are again pressed together and check the speed. The following modifications are also described : (1) A friction cone is used in place of the friction disks, and the aerial thrust is taken up by a roundheaded pin ; (2) an intermediate shaft is provided between the shaft of the hand-chain wheel and the hoisting-pulley shaft; and (3) in a modification of the form shown in Fig. 5, the hand-chain wheel drives its shaft by a spring-actuated clutch, which is first put out of gear, when the lever 32 is pulled, so that the hand-chain does not move when the load is being lowered.

Title: Improvements in Electrically and Mechanically Operated Steam and the like Whistles.
Inventor: MILLS BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD
Filed: 1908-01-30
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 2127. Mills, B. J. B., [Signal and Control Co.]. Jan. 30. Steam whistles are provided with a verticallymoving main valve having a piston, which is controlled by a pilot valve operated electro-magnetically, and is normally under steam pressure on both faces. The main valve 7, which admits steam from a pipe 6 to the whistle connexion 16, is formed with a dished piston 10 of larger area, through which a pressure-equalizing passage 42 is made. The pilot valve 22 is opened by a rod 26 when the armature 25 of an electro-magnet 24 is attracted, thus releasing the pressure above the piston, which then rises and opens the valve 7. Closure of the pilot valve restores the pressure above the piston, and allows the maio valve to close by gravity. The stem of the valve 22 and the standard 20 supporting the magnet are formed with steam escape passages, a partition 31 acting as a deflector. A water-tight diaphragm 34 closes the magnet chamber. A lever pivoted in lugs 9 permits of operation by hand. To give a symmetrical appearance, the whistle 4 and the magnet chamber are mounted on opposite sides of the steam-pipe. In a modification, consisting of a chime whistle, the magnet is placed in the upper part of one compartment of the whistle. The pilot valve communicates with the chamber above the piston by a passage through the stem of the whistle. Hand-operation is effected by a lever controlling the pilot valve.
