Patent GB-191124265-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Calendar Clocks.
Inventor: ROYSTON ERNEST RICHARD
IPC: G04B19/243
Filed: 1911-11-01
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 24,265. Royston, E. R., [Automatic Calendar Clock Co.]. Nov. 1. Date-indicators.-In apparatus comprising a strip, bearing the date indications &c. and controlled by a clock, the strip 18 is drawn from a reel 21 over guide rolls 20, 19 on to a roll 17 rotated by a chain 16 from a wheel in a train driven by a spring drum 2. The train is normally held inactive by a tongue 40, which is carried by a spring-retracted lever 30 pivoted at 31, and engages a brake disk 41 on the flyer shaft 13<a>. The brake is lifted once every twenty-four hours when a pin 24 on a clockdriven wheel 23 raises a weighted lever 25, which, on falling, strikes the lever 30 and removes the brake 40 from the winding-mechanism, the lever being retained in the lowered position by a bell-crank lever 28 which is drawn into position to engage a stop 33 on the frame by a spring 39, thus allowing the date strip to be wound off. The strip is provided with a series of notches 18<a> situated opposite the date numerals and shaped as shown in Fig. 3, so that the movement of the strip lifts the spring- controlled crank-arm 36 of a shaft 37, which is mounted in a bracket and carries at its other end a crank 37<a>. The movement of the crank 37<a> withdraws, through a link 38 and a loose connexion 38<a>, the lever 28 from the stop 33 and presses it upon the lower of two stop pins 28<1> to retain the lever in the lowered position. When the arm 36 falls into the next notch the winding-mechanism is stopped, whereupon the lever 30 rises, the upper pin 28<1> serving as a stop for the lever 28. Guide-plates 22 are provided to support the strip when acting on the crank 36.

Title: Improvements in Safety Mechanism for the Locking Apparatus of Signal Point or other Operating Mechanism for Railways.
Inventor: RASMUSSEN WILHELM PETER HEINRI
IPC: B61L19/16
Filed: 1911-11-23
Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 26,247. Rasmussen, W. P. H. Nov. 23. Hand-levers and hand gearing, interlocking. -Four signal rods 2, 3, 4, 5, Fig. 4, one of .which, 3, is also shown in Fig. 1, are adapted to oscillate four bolts 12, 13, 14, 15 through the medium of suitable levers or other gearing. The bolts 13, 14 are in one horizontal plane, and the rods 12, 15 in another. In the initial position, the ends of all the bolts are clear of two sliding plates 30, 31 provided with apertures registering with the ends of the four bolts. The bolts 13,14 engage interconnected levers 23, 24 adapted to move the slide 30 when either bolt is moved towards it, but not to return the slide on the reverse motion taking place. The slides 30, 31 are provided with gravity or spring catches adapted, when the slide is moved, to prevent the movement of the corresponding bolt. The apparatus works as follows. Assuming the signal rod 3 to be operated, the bolt 13 is moved and enters the corresponding aperture in the slide 30. After a certain amount of lost motion is taken up, the slide 30 is moved bv the engagement of the lever 23 by the bolt 13. This brings the catch in front of the bolt 14, thereby locking the rod 4. The other catch over-rides the bolt 13, but falls into position when the bolt 13 is withdrawn by a reverse movement of the rod 3, whereupon both bolts 13, 14 are locked until the slide 30 is re-set by a key 41. The remaining pair of bolts and the other slide operate in a similar manner.

Abstract: 331. White, D'O. M., and Napier & Son, D. Jan. 4. Pumps formed between adjacent ends of compound shafts. - Shaft couplings, as provided on motor-vehicles and allowing endlong relative displacement of the shafts are lubricated by means of a cylinder E and plunger D' carried by the shafts A, D respectively, the cylinder and plunger constituting a pump operated by the relative displacement between the shafts. As shown, a crank-shaft D drives a hollow shaft A by means of castellations L, L<1>. The cylinder E is provided with flanges E<1>, E<2> and a projection E<6> bored radially. The flange E<1> is slotted to provide oil-ways E<3>. The shaft A drives a Cardan joint in communication with the cylinder E by a duct G with a non-return valve M, a cut-away portion E<5>, duct G', and hole K<2> in the bearing-brass K. The other arm B of the joint is pierced by a duct slightly in advance of the flange E<2>. The intermediate member of the Cardan joint has its four pins H<1> made hollow, the inner ends of all four pins communicating with an annular chamber closed by a bushing H<3>. Each pin has a groove J and two holes J<1> affording communication with the ducts G<1>, G<2>. The positions of cylinder and piston may be reversed, and they need not be concentric with the shafts. The lubricant may be forced to the bearings or other devices.

Abstract: 21,390. Blache, H. H. Oct. 22. Reversing. - In an engine in which the cam shaft is moved axially to bring a different set of cams into action, according to the direction of rotation, and in which the valve levers are mounted on eccentrics so that during the reversing adjustment the valve levers are lifted clear of the cams, the wheel p for rotating the shaft l on which the eccentrics for the valve levers are mounted also acts on the cam shaft f to move it axially; this is .effected through a grooved disk s on the cam shaft and a cam r on the shaft l. The cam shaft is driven through helical gearing, which remains in gear during the movement of the shaft.
