Abstract: 3035. Pierce, J. Feb. 8. [Cognate Application, 8340/09.] Regulating delivery by by-passes. -I n a machine for spraying crops wherein the delivery is effected by means o f a pump fitted with an air - chamber and wherein means are provided for lifting the spraying- nozzles out of the foliage and simultaneously cutting off the flow o f liquid, the lifting of the spraying- nozzles causes the operation of a valve which shuts off the airchamber from the delivery pipes and allows the suction and delivery chambers of the pump to communicate. Fig. 1 shows the vehicle a, provided with a pump e delivering to the pipes j, j<1>. The rod w, which raises these pipes when not in use, also operates a rod q on the pump through mechanism v, u, t. The rod q is connected, as shown in Fig. 4, to a valve r placed between the vessel o and the delivery passage n<1>, and the complete closure of this valve by the rod also causes the opening of the by-pass valve s placed between the suction and delivery passages. Relief devices.-The valve s is held on to its seat by a spring s<1> and serves as a relief valve.

Abstract: 19094150. Gibson, W. Feb. 19. Deflation of tyres, indicating.-A visible or audible signal is operated to warn the driver of a motor or other road vehicle when a tyre is deflated. Adjustable inclined tubes e corresponding to each wheel are mounted on the axles of the vehicle. When an axle tilts due to the deflation of a tyre, a ball rolls by gravity from the inner to the outer end of the corresponding tube and thereby closes an electric switch, which operates one or more signals such as an electric bell or lamp. A globule of mercury may be used in place of the ball in the above apparatus; or the ball and tube may be replaced by a weight sliding on a bar, or a wheel running between guide-bars.

Abstract: 12,047. Harris, H. K. May 14. Percussive instruments; winding-mechanism; actions.-Pneumatic devices for chiming bells and other purposes are controlled electro-magnetically by a tune sheet which is perforated or embossed to co-operate with a row of contact levers. Flat tune-sheets of card of metal, with stamped depressions, are drawn successively by motor-driven pin-wheels from the bottom of a store chamber, and fed under a guide-roller and over a row of spring-lifted levers k, Fig. 5. Each stamped depression, in passing, engages a cam n on a lever k, and closes at s the circuit of a magnet v, which, as shown in Fig. 7, rocks a spring-controlled three-way valve to admit compressed air to pneumatic striking-mechanism, which may be of the sort shown in Fig. 10. The compressed air entering by the pipe 25 operates the bell-striking arm 23 through the piston 18, cross-head 19, and connecting-arms 21. Valves 26 regulate the cushioning-effect, and a rest 24 of leather, vulcanite, &c. receives the striking-arm on its return. When the magnet v is de - energized, the pipe 25 is connected to exhaust. The tune-sheet may have special perforations or lugs for tone-modulating or for stopping and starting the machine. The magnets v are preferably of iron-clad formation with the armature supported by a rod which slides in a hole in the core. The valves may be of mushroom, cone, or other type. The bellstriking devices may be of the kind described in Specification 24,448/08, [Class 83(iv), Metals, Working &c.].

Title: Improvements in Telephone Exchange Circuits.
IPC: H04Q5/06
Filed: 1910-12-21
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 29,672. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Dec. 21. Exchange systems.-In exchange systems in which switching-operations are effected from a distant place by the use of two relays responding to currents of different strengths, a circuit is partly prepared by a current of a'particular strength, is further prepared by current of a different strength, and is finally completed by current of the first strength. The invention is described as applied to junction-line working in which a third lead is provided for signalling purposes besides the two speaking leads, and in which various signalling and switching operations are effected over this lead. The insertion of the plug 1 at the calling exchange I in the jack 2 of an outgoing trunk L causes current to flow from the battery 3 through the resistances 4, 5, lead 6, and relays 7, 8 to earth. The relay 7 is less sensitive than the relay 8, and does not respond to this current. The relay 8 closes the circuit of the supervisory lamp 13, whereupon the operator at exchange II inserts the plug 16 in the jack of the wanted subscriber. The operator at exchange I, by listening-in, can determine whether the subscriber is already engaged in conversation, and if this is the case she can sever the local connexion by closing a switch 26, thus short-circuiting the resistance 5 and increasing the current over the lead 6 sufficiently to energize the relay 7, which by attracting its armature 27 strengthens the current in the relay 28 of the local connexion so as to open this connexion at the points 29, 30. The armature 32 of the relay 7 also energizes a relay 34, which completes a holding-on circuit for itself over armatures 22, 35 and also prepares the circuit of the ringing-relay 15. When the switch 26 is opened, the relay 7 is de-energized, and completes the circuit of the relay 15 over the armatures 9, 32, 37. The ringing- generator 38 is thus bridged across the called line, and is cut off, in known manner, when the subscriber replies. If the required subscriber is not engaged in conversation, the operation is the same except that no relay 28 would be energized by the relay 7. The withdrawal of the plug 1 de-energizes the relay 8, thus lighting up the lamp 13, which is extinguished when the plug 16 is withdrawn.
