Patent GB-190114489-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Time and Date Printing Stamps
Filed: 1901-07-16
Granted: 1901-08-17
Abstract: 14,489. Clark, A. M., [International Time Recording Co.]. July 16. Date and time printing stamps.-Fig. 2 shows an elevation of the stamp, the driving-wheel B of which is geared by wheels b, a' with the central arbor a of the clock mechanism A. The printing- wheels are on a shaft d, and comprise a year-wheel D, minute-wheel D', hour and meridian wheel D<6>, day-wheel D<4>, and month-wheel D<5>. The hourwheel and the meridian (i.e., A.M. and P.M. printing) wheel may be two separate wheels, placed one on each side of the minute-wheel D<2>, or close together on one side of it. The hour and meridian wheel or wheels are fixed on the shaft d, the other wheels being loose. The minute-wheel D<2> is geared directly to the shaft B by wheels b<1>, b<2>. The hour and meridian wheel D<6>, and consequently the shaft d, are driven one step for each revolution of the minute-wheel by a pawl on an arm H<2> actuated by a cam on the shaft b. The day-wheel D' is driven one step for each revolution of the shaft d and wheel D<6> by a pawl and arm H<1> rocked by an arm F actuated by a pin on a wheel geared to the shaft d. The month-wheel D<5> is driven one step for each revolution of the wheel D' by a pawl h<2>, Fig. 6, on an arm H pivoted at f and actuated in one direction by a spring h<1> and in the other by an arm h<5> engaging a cam G on the wheel D<4>. A retaining-pawl i<1> pivoted at l engages between two of the pins g on the wheel D<5>. When the cam G releases the arm h<5>, the pawl h' engages one of the pins g, and moves the wheel D<5>, a pin h' on the pawl engaging the arm i of the retaining-pawl and lifting it out of the teeth g. The pawl h' is pivoted on the arm H so that it may yield as the arm H is moved back by the cam G. The pawl mechanism for moving the wheels D<4>, D<6> is the same as that described for the wheel D<5>, Fig. 6. The day-wheel D<4> has 31 characters, and, when a month has less than 31 days, the arm F may be operated by hand to complete the month. A means is provided for moving- on the minute-wheel D<2> promptly to zero position each time the hour-wheel D<6> moves. The wheel b<1> is capable of limited movement on its shaft B, so that it and the wheel may be moved on slightly in advance of the shaft B against the pressure of a spring, by a pin on the pawl arm H' which drives the hour-wheel engaging a cam-piece on the wheel b<1>. The plunger by which the impression is made, Fig. 14, is in two parts 20, 17 telescoping the one within the other against the pressure of a spring 24, so that the platen 15 may yield in case of a heavy blow. A pin 21 on the part 20 engages slots 22, 23 in the part 17 and the arm 19. A spring 26 raises the plunger.

Abstract: 20,294. Boult, A. J., [Forsyth, J. E.]. Sept. 21. Brakes; pipes, flexible, for brakes, heating, and the like.-Swivelling pipe sections are used for connecting the train-pipes, such as the signal pipe, the brake pipe, and the steam pipe, with the coupling-head F. The several pipes are provided with valves, and the respective connections between the pipes and the head are similar. The steam-pipe connection comprises a pipe d, Fig. 2, screwed into a boss on the coupling-head and connected by a swivelling joint with an elbow ; the elbow is similarly connected to a horizontal pipe d<3> which can swivel about a vertical section screwed into the valve I. The joints are formed as shown in Fig. 4, a collar d<13> on the elbow being held by a nut and packing-ring against a shoulder on the pipe d<3>. The valve I can be operated from the side of the vehicle through the rod m. A bracket J, clamped to the draw-bar, terminates in a yoke formed integrally with a ring. A conical spring K is secured to this ring, and surrounds a section c<4> of the brake-pipe coupling, which section extends through, the ring and supports the head. The forward longitudinal movement of the section c<4> is limited by the ring, which bears against fingers g<10 >on a sleeve loose on the section, Fig. 10. The steam pipe may be prevented from moving with the head by connecting it to the pipe d through swivelling pipes E<5>, E<6>, Fig. 9. Movement of the spring K relatively to the ring on the yoke, when the train is rounding a curve, may be provided for by forming the ring with a bevelled recess t<3>, Fig. 10, in which the spring can tilt, and a flange t<2>.
