Abstract: 19,417. Crane, N. H. Aug. 24. Locks, permutation.-Mechanism for operating the bolt of a door has to be set by a permutation device into position to be actuated by a second permutation device. In the form shown, the spring-bolt 14 is adapted to be operated by a lever system 25 connected to the end of a spring-controlled pivoted bar 18. The bar is actuated to withdraw the bolt by means of a push-button 27, the end 38 of which co-operates with a lever 37 pivoted to the bar. The lever 37 normally lies out of the path of the push-button 27, but can be moved into the correct position by a second pushpiece 28 acting on the end of a lever 34, which turns the lever 37 by means of a pin 36 secured thereto. The push - buttons 27, 28 have to be turned to definite positions indicated by numerals &c. on the door before either of them is in the correct position for actuating the mechanism above described. Key-holders.-In a modification, the bolt with the permutation mechanism is employed to lock a pivoted flap, within which the key of the door lock is concealed.

Projectile fuses. - Consists in throwing the safety device of percussion fuses out of action by a spring clock-work which is started when the projectile is discharged. This arrangement is especially suitable for combined percussion and mechanical time fuses. In one form, Figs. 1 and 2, a pivoted disk J is released, after a given time, from a lug k<2> on the clock-woik A, and, while turning outwards under the action of centrifugal force, allows a spring- pressed bolt F to pass through a hole i<2> and then locks it by the engagement of a slot i<3> with a neck f<3>. On impact, the lever E swings forwards and releases the hammer D. In a modification, Fig. 7, a centrifugal flash passage obturator m<3> is provided as an additional safety, and both safeties are released by a projection P on the shaft p<2> of the disk J. In another modification, Fig. 12, a bolt T is released by the disk J, and, on impact, flies forward, and releases a pin s<2> on the spindle S ; the firing-pin R then rotates the spindle S by gliding down an incline s<1> and fires the cap C.

This machine may be rotated in either direction without changing the connexions. (3) The supplementary poles c, Fig. 7, are unwound, and the brushes e, e<1> are connected together either directly or through resistances p. Arrangements (2) and (3) have been excised from the Specification after acceptance, and have been made the subject of separate applications, 29,493/10 and 2158/11.

Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 8978. Goldschmidt, R. April 11, 1910, [Convention date]. Telephonic relays. - Telegraph and telephone currents which are impressed on t h e circuit through the resistance N are multiplied in value by means of the reactions of the currents in the circuit of the generator M and the asynchronous generator S, P. Current of frequency w1 is sent into the rotor S from the weak primary M and the winding P, and the rotor S is driven at a slightly higher speed w0. The rotor winding S is tuned to the slip frequency w0-w1. It is then shown that the effective resistance of the circuit of P and M is R1 - Constant / R2 (w0-w1) w1 where R1 and R2 are the normal resistances of the circuits of P and S respectively. The slip-frequency w0-w1 can thus be arranged so as to make this effective resistance small, and correspondingly large currents are obtained from the telegraphic telephonic impulses. The windings S, P may otherwise both be fixed, a rotating iron core being used.
