Abstract: 11,251. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. May 6. Exchange systems -In an exchange system in which each subscriber's line terminates in a preliminary selector W, for selecting an idle operator, each selector is provided with an additional set of contacts connected to individual calling and connecting devices AL, Kl, which are grouped at a separate working position. By this means a call can be dealt with without delay, even in busy times when all the distributing-leads o, p have been seized on. The arrangement is also applicable for concentrating all nocturnal calls at a single point, as the distributing-leads o, p leading to the ordinary operators' positions may be rendered "busy" to the selector magnets PR by opening the switches S. Automatic exchanges may be provided with similar means for dealing with excess calls, preferably by delivering them to a manual operating-centre.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Lighting of Miners' and like Safety Lamps.
Inventor: PAXTON ARTHUR
Filed: 1912-11-25
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 14,547. Paxton, A. Nov. 25. Lighting burners by electric devices. - In lighting-apparatus for miners' lamps in which an electric generator is enclosed in a flame and gas proof casing, a quick - action switch mechanism within the casing is operated by means of a key used in conjunction with the lamp, whereas if the key is used without a lamp, the switch is locked so as to be inoperative. The key d<1>, Fig. 8, may be attached to the lamp, or attached to the gear and provided with a metal base, which supports the lamp, and has an aperture through which an electric contact can project. The key is inserted in a guard e on the casing, and a projection d' on the key passes through a recess e<1> into an annular groove e<2>, Fig. 5. The key engages a pin d<2> on a shaft d, Fig. 1, to which is pivoted a spring-controlled arm f. On turning the lamp and key from position A to position B, Fig. 5, the arm f moves over a guide-plate g, at the end of which it is released and strikes a vertically-slidable bridge-member h. This is raised so that a spring contact h<1> engages a corresponding contact j<1> in the generator circuit, and a contact h<4> projects through an aperture in the casing and engages the lamp contact. On its return, the lever f engages a tripping- member n, which ensures the return of the bridge h. If the key is used with the lamp, the bridge-member h rises to the position shown in Fig. 7, and a spring pawl p enters a recess q and locks the bridge in an inoperative position. The end f<2> of the lever f then lies in front of a fixed abutment o and prevents unlocking. The switch mechanism may be connected to the driving-gear of the magneto by a suitable clutch, which disconnects the driving- gear when the switch is in the inoperative position. The apparatus may be provided with a glass window protected by wire gauze, to enable sparking under the brushes of the magneto &c. to be detected, and with a safety spark acting as an indicator and rendered visible by a window. The casing may have a supplementary casing to enclose the lamp, such casing being large enough to allow the lamp to be inserted and moved from its initial to its operative position.

Title: An Improved Machine for Reeling Postage and like Stamps.
Inventor: STONE ANDREW JACKSON
IPC: B26D1/24
Filed: 1912-07-11
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 16,242. Stone, A. J. July 11. Making labels. - Consists in apparatus for joining sheets of postage and like stamps together to form a continuous web, and then severing this to form a number of strips one stamp wide, and winding these strips on separate spools. The separate sheets 5, Fig. 1, are passed along a table 1 until the leading edge registers with that of the straight-edge 7 pivoted at 8 to the table. A damping-device 10 in a recess 11 of the table is then pushed across the table by means of a knob 13, and its wick 12 damps the edge of the sheet. This is then taken forward to a position above a plate 15 and affixed to the end of the web 4 previously formed, which is wound on a spool 3 by means of a handle 17, the spool being braked by a band 21 pulled by a spring 24. When the spool is filled, it is transferred to brackets 25, Fig. 4, in a cutting-machine, and the web is passed over a roller 27 and a table 28, beneath a tension bar 32 and a roller 34, and between cutting-disks 38 on shafts 35, 36. The severed strips are stripped from the shafts 35, 36 by strippers 43 and are wound on separate spools 44 arranged in different planes. The bar 32 can be raised by a screw 33 to allow a web to be inserted beneath it, and guide-plates 29 'between which the web passes are adjustable by screws 30. The spindles 45 of the spools 44 are journaled in arms 46 pivoted at 47 to the machine frame and are turned by a common band 52 passing over pulleys 51 on the spindles and over a pulley 53 on the shaft 36. The arms 46 can be raised to tension the band 52 and are supported by rods 48 adjustably secured in tubes 49 by screws 50. The pulleys 51 are loosely mounted on the spindles 45 and are pressed against collars 65, Fig. 5, thereon by springs 67, this producing a frictional drive which allows the pulleys to slip on the spindles as the diameters of the rolls increase. The shaft 36 is driven by a handcrank or by a pulley 54 turned by a motor through a belt 55. The sheets of stamps when joined together may be passed directly to the cutting-disks instead of being wound upon a spool first.

Abstract: 17,034. Wotherspoon, W. W. Jan. 31, [Convention date]. Sunken ships, raising.-Relates to means for indicating leakages in, and for expelling water from, leaking or sunken vessels by means of air or other fluid pressure. When it is desired to subject any compartment to an internal air pressure, the surrounding compartments are also subject to pressure, but less than that of the aforesaid compartment, in order to reduce the pressure upon the walls. Fig. 3 shows in plan an arrangement of valves for admitting air from the compressor 2, Fig. 2, and pipes 7 to the supply pipes 5 and compartments A, B, C. Figs. 6 and 7 are vertical sections on lines c, c and d, d respectively of Fig. 3. If compartment A, Fig. 2, is to be filled with air, the gate-valves 10<a>, 12<a> of the low-pressure valves 10 and intermediate pressure valves 12 of all the compartments are opened so that all of the latter are filled with air at low pressure. Next, the gate-valves 10<a> leading to the compartments A, B are closed so that the pressure in these compartments rises to the limit determined by the intermediate pressure valves. Finally, the gate-valve 12<a> leading to compartment A is closed and the latter now becomes filled with air at high pressure through valve 11, Fig. 6. Valve X is a blow-off valve. Air-locks 15, 15<1>, 15<2> are provided to allow of entry to any of the compartments while under pressure. Air may be admitted to the compartments through the ventilation pipes by fitting in the latter a coupling 5<c>, Fig. 9, into which leads the pipe 13, Figs. 3 and 6, and also a valve 5<c> which may be locked in either the open or closed position by means of a clamping-nut 5<i>.

Abstract: 19,911. Staszewski, G. von. Sept. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Rotary kilns. - Limestone containing a low percentage of carbonate of lime is calcined in a rotary kiln of the kind through which the materials and the heating-gases are passed in the same direction. The calcined product is slaked if necessary, ground with 2 per cent of plaster of parts, and then made up into mortar in the usual way. In the apparatus shown, the limestone is first preheated in the kiln f and then burnt in the kiln a while the gases from the combustion chamber i pass through the kilns e, f in succession. The burnt cement is passed through a cooler c, the air from which is afterwards used for combustion. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (u) states also that a kiln of the above-described type is used for endothermic processes in general, and more particularly for burning clay, the manufacture of gas from colliery waste, and the reduction of barium sulphate. In the last case the carbon monoxide produced is burnt in the furnace. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
