Patent GB-243734-A (GB)
Abstract: 243,734. National Cash Register Co., (Assignees of Robertson, W. H.). June 13, 1924, [Convention date]. Cash registers with operating-means; printing sub-totals and totals. - In a drawer-operated machine, such as that described in Specification 6428/09, means are provided to enable a subtotal as well as a total to be printed. For this purpose the link 83, controlling the rocking of the totalizerengagement shaft 90 and capable of displacement from the item-entering position shown to one in which its pin 85 engages the recess 87 for totaltaking, may be adjusted to an intermediate position and the contact cam 77 rendered ineffective. A knob 200, Fig. 3, projects through a slot 201 in a plate 202 secured to the casing and is carried by a pitman 206 provided with a guard plate 204 for the slot and slidable on a stud 208 fixed to the draweroperating lever 55. When, for sub-total taking, the knob is moved to the lower end of the slot, the pitman rocks the cam 77 clockwise and maintains it inoperative so that the bell-cranks 79, 82 are not rooked in the movements of the drawer and the totalizer consequently remains engaged with its actuators throughout the entire operation of the machine. The movement of the knob also through a notch 209 and pin 210 rocks an arm 211 clockwise and, through a cam edge 225, an arm 218 counterclockwise. This arm 218 is connected by a slotted link 226 with the link 83 which is thus shifted to the right to remove the pin 84 from effective position within the aperture 86. The arm 211 is retained displaced by engagement of the pin 210 with a notch 217 in a spring- controlled catch-lever 212 which is subsequently rocked to release the arm, by a one-way contact pawl 237 carried by the drawer-operating lever 55. The knob 200 cannot be moved from its normal position until an idle operation of the machine has been performed, for the roller 219 on the lever 218 lies in a notch in arm 211 so that this, with the knob 200, is held fast. In the idle operation, however, the lever 218 is moved, by means not described, to liberate the arm and so allow setting of the knob. To prevent release of the machine when the knob is in an intermediate position, a lever 229 pivoted at 230 is positioned by the link connection 231 with the lever 218, so as to obstruct the pin 37 otherwise freed by the depression of the release key 30.

Patent GB-498249-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in thermally operated electric switches
IPC: H01H35/26
Filed: 1937-09-13
Abstract: 498,249. Thermal switches. RAMSEY, A. R. J. (Automatic Control Corporation) Sept. 13, 1937, No. 24922. [Class 38 (v)] A switch is actuated by bellows containing an expansible fluid which moves a secondary lever carrying the movable contact through a primary lever, the secondary lever being associated with two relatively adjustable fulcrums for varying the differential. A frame 20 carries a face-plate 21 and a pressure expanded bellows 28 which operates a stud 29 affixed thereto. A sleeve 38 of a setting knob 42 screws on the stud 29, and engages bosses 37 on a lever 33 which it holds against a spring 32 located in position by a washer 31 carried on the stud 29. The lever 33 is pivoted at 35 and pivotally connected to the pin 73 to the upper part 66 of a secondary lever 40. The lower conducting part of lever 40 connected to the upper part by an insulating plate 52 carries contacts 56 which engage with fixed contacts 49, and a magnetic snap action device comprising two magnetic pieces 58 and 59 connected by a non-magnetic element 57 passing between the legs of a horseshoe magnet 60. Control over the upper end of the secondary lever 40 is effected by a screw 77 which, extending through a sleeve 75 fixed to the front plate 21 passes through a notch in the lever 40 which can move only between the head 78 of the screw and the shoulder 79 of the sleeve 75. Rotation of the graduated setting knob 42, by altering the position of lever 33 relative to the diaphragm 28, defines the upper temperature at which the switch operates, for as the bellows expands, the lever 33 rotates in a clockwise direction about pivot 35 carrying the upper end of lever 40, until this engaging with the shoulder 79 of sleeve 75 rotates about it to break circuit with the left-hand and make circuit with the right-hand contacts, with a snap action. With decrease of pressure, the lever 33 moves the upper end of lever 40 to the left, until at a temperature lower than the main setting temperature by the required differential, this engages the head 78 of the screw 77, the setting of which is effected by rotation of a toothed disc 82 located by an indent 83, and the lower end of the lever 40 then moves back with a snap action. The Specification also describes two modifications of the invention, wherein different arrangements of the screw 77 and the part 66 of the lever 40, allow the adjustment of differential to be effected on rise of temperature, and on both rise and fall of temperature.

Abstract: 406,753. Spring hinges. VICKERS (AVIATION), Ltd., and WALLIS, B. N., Byfleet Road, Weybridge, Surrey. Sept. 9, 1932, No. 25168. [Class 65 (ii).] An adjustable seat applied to a gun mounting of the type described in Specification 406,747, [Group XXI], is supported by parallel arms h<1>, h<2> pivoted to the frame members cl, c<2>. The pivotal connection between the arms h<2> and the bracket is provided by a spring resister g of the type described in Specification 392,972 so that the torque conveyed to the arms h<2> by the springs is proportional to the moment of the load supported on the seat h about the pivotal connection. The spring resister g, Fig. 4, comprises duplicate cam tracks g<3>, g<4> and g<5>, g<6> on opposed cams g<1>, g<2> respectively. Duplicate rollers g<8>, g<9>, g<10> and g<11>, bearing on the cam tracks at diagonally opposite points are carried by pistons g<12>, g<13>, mounted on feathers g<14> so as to slide axially but without rotation along the outer member g<15> which is fixed to the bracket. The outward pressure of the springs g<16> imparts a torque to the arms h<2> by the reaction of the rollers and the cam paths, and adjustment for different weights is achieved by axial movement of the cams to vary the initial compression of the springs. The spring resister compensates for the greater proportion of the weight on the seat. Specification 387,346, [Group XXI], also is referred to.
