Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 11,935. Dickson, W. K.-L. May 13. Trays, dishes, and containers for lengths of films. - Apparatus for developing strip - like multi - picture films comprises a tray or lifter having vertical pins round which the film is wound edge uppermost and with the film side outwards. The arrangement of the pins b, Fig. 1, with the slotted edges e enables a long web c to be wound spirally. The tray is in two parts with a sliding adjustment for tightening the film. For adjusting the tray, a right and left handed screw may be arranged on each side of the tray. Alternatively the edges of the tray may be tubular and cut with sloping edges i, and rods g used for keeping the parts in alinement. Intermediate tubes h on the rods g are cut with sloping ends to engage the ends of the sides of the tray so that the two parts of the tray can be separated by turning the tubes h. The pins may be stamped up from the base of the tray, leaving perforations through which the developer rises into contact with the film. Alternatively the base a is perforated with holes d<1>, Fig. 3, and strips of metal b<2> are bent upwards through the holes, the projecting parts b<1> being rounded to form a smooth surface for the film.

Title: Improvement in Electric Safety Fuses.
Inventor: KALLMANN MARTIN
IPC: H01H85/12
Filed: 1910-07-07
Granted: 1911-07-07
Abstract: 16,258. Kallmann, M. July 7. Fusible cut-outs.-In parallel-wire safety fuses comprising auxiliary wires which melt after the main fuse wires, a conductor, such as iron, having a high positive temperature-coefficient and a resistance at white heat at least ten times as great as when cold, is employed for the auxiliary wires, the rapid increase in its resistance causing a considerable reduction in the current at the moment of fusion. The main fuse may consist of silver, lead, copper, or other metals or alloys. The wires may be protected in the usual manner by insulating- coverings or partitions, and filling-material such as sand may surround them. The iron wire or like variation conductor may serve as an indicator in the usual way by the provision of sight-holes in the enclosure, or by using materials which are discoloured or chemically altered by the fusion of the iron wire. A covering of zinc, for example, may be used on the wire, the fumes indicating the operation of the cut-out. Several main and variation conductors may be mounted in the same insulating- body.

Title: Improvements relating to Prepayment Devices for Gas Meters and the like.
Inventor: SUTHERLAND ANDREW GUTHRIE
IPC: G07F15/02
Filed: 1910-09-15
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 21,461. Sutherland, A. G. Sept. 15. Gas, supplying by meter; coin action, mechanical-connexion. -Relates particularly to prepayment attachments for gas-meters &c., and consists in the provision of improved controlling mechanism for the pawl through which motion is transmitted from the coin - carrier to the quantity-determining mechanism. The pawl 4 for driving the ratchet-wheel 2 is carried by a lever 3, which is rotated during the forward movement of the coin-carrier 1 by the engagement of the coin 5 with a projection 6, and is returned to the normal position by the engagement of the carrier with a second projection 7. A spring-controlled bell-crank 11 pivoted to the lever 3 prevents reversal of the parts before the coin has been discharged, a projection 13 on the bell-crank forcing the pawl into engagement with the ratchet owing to the engagement of the coin with the other arm 12 of the bell-crank. To avoid any clicking noise during the return of the pawl, the spring 16 may be dispensed with, and a second bell-crank lever 17, Fig. 4, employed, one arm 19 of which serves to hold the pawl in engagement with the ratchet-wheel, while the other arm 18 is under the influence of the coin 5. To allow for changes in the price of gas, the pawl is permitted to engage the ratchetwheel only after escaping from a concentric guard 20, which is carried by an adjustable sector 24 having a series of notches 21, one of which is engaged by a pin 22 on a fixed arm 23.

Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 8977. Kilburn, B. E. D., [Sulzer, Geb.]. April 11. Regulating.-In apparatus for controlling the by-pass or overload valves in steam turbines through a servo-motor by the movement of the main regulating-valve, a part of the movement of this main valve is employed to move a piston valve, which controls the flow of fluid to the piston valve of the servo-motor. The spindle A of the main regulating-valve moves a piston C by means of a spring B, and connects a passage F to the source of liquid under pressure through a pipe E. A valve K in the servomotor piston J is thus raised against the action of a spring L, and thereby connects the spaces P, O below and above the servo-motor piston respectively. Pressure fluid thus flows through pipes M, N, Q, R to the exhaust S, and since the pipe N is of sufficiently small cross-section to reduce the pressure of the liquid entering the space O, the servo-motor piston is raised, and the by-pass valves are operated by the stem H. Specification 12,213/09, [Class 57, Governors &c.], is referred to.
