Title: Means for Automatically Stopping the Actuating Mechanism of Gramophones and the like Sound-reproducing Machines.
Inventor: BLEAKLEY WILLIAM NORMAN
Filed: 1910-10-26
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 24,860. Bleakley, W. N. Oct. 26. Stopping.-The clock-work motor is stopped at the end of the record by the stylus making electric contact with an adjustable arm 15 extending over the record 16, and thus energizing an electro-magnet 2 to cause its armature 3 to move the usual hand stop-lever 4 into contact with a projection 5<y> on the governor. The electric-circuit extends from some cells 7 by a wire 8 to the tone-arm 9, thence from the stylus 10 to the adjustable rod 15, whether this be arranged for the record ending at the centre or the periphery. A wire 18 connects rod 15 to the metal mechanism base 5<x>, and therefore to the governor 13. The governor, when in operation, raises its disk 13<x> to contact with a spring 12 connected by a wire 11 to the electro-magnet, and thence by a wire 6 to the cell 7. Thus, after the stylus has contacted with the rod 15 and stopped the motor, the disk 13<X> falls away from the spring 12 and cuts off the current.

Patent GB-191112613-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Calculating Machines.
Inventor: JAHN ADOLF
IPC: G06C23/02
Filed: 1910-07-07
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 12,613. Jahn, A. July 7, 1910. Multiplying - apparatus. -- In machines of the Thomas type, such as are described in Specification 16,236 / 10, provision is made for adjusting the number of rotations of the main operating-shaft to be effected by a single operation of a driving-handle, or alternatively for operating by means of a motor under the control of a keyboard. A sliding rack 39 is manually adjusted into one of nine positions, rotating at the same time a pinion 38 and ratchetwheel 37, which slips under the pawls 36. An arm 41 is then pulled rearwards by means of the usual crankhandle, and returns the rack to its normal forward position at a speed determined by the fly 46, during which operation a spur-wheel 35 carrying the pawls, and thereby a pinion 33 upon the main operating-shaft 30, are rotated according to the setting of the rack, the movement being arrested by contact of the lug 44 and arm 43. Figs. 6 and 7 show the clutch mechanism whereby the continuously - rotating motor shaft 51 may be coupled to or disengaged from the main operating-shaft. A disk-wheel 54 is fast upon the operating-shaft, and is normally inside an annular worm - wheel 53; tapering slots 55 in the disk-wheel contain rollers which, in the engaged position, are forced by springs 57 to jam between the inner surface of the wheel 53 and the disk-wheel. Connexion is broken by forcing these rollers towards the broad ends of their slots by means of pins 59 upon a disk 58 adapted to ride loosely upon the main operating- shaft, and normally held by the engagement therewith of a pin 61 upon a disk 61<1> controlled by a spring pin 60. When the spring pin is displaced, the disk 58 is rotated by a spring 53', the pins 59 free the rollers, and they are forced along the slots by their springs in order to couple the parts. A bank of nine keys 62, Fig. 4, is employed to control the clutch, the depression of any key operating the spring pin 60 through the agency of a pin on the key and a plate 66 with inclined upper edges, and being maintained by means of a spring latch 68. The motor having been started thus, a pin 73 upon the main operating-shaft moves a rack 71 endways until a pin 70 thereon unlatches the depressed key and restores the parts. As the plate 66 comes back to its original position, a projection 76 thereon disengages the detent 75 from the rack-bar, which is then free to be returned by a spring.

Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 17,541. Gimson & Co., and Roylance, W. E. July 29. Sole-levelling.-In a duplex sole-levelling machine of the type in which a jack carrying the shoe is swung from a jacking position into a position in which it is in alinement with the mould, and is then raised into contact with the mould, the oscillating movement is effected by a pinion 19 secured to the pivot 17 of the jack arm 2 and gearing with a toothed segment 20 mounted in the usual slide 3 and adapted to be actuated through links 21, 22 from a cam-groove 24 in a worm-wheel 25 fast on a crank-shaft 15. The vertical movement of the jack, which follows the swinging movement, is effected by a toggle 8, 9 connected by a link 13 to a crank 14. In a modified construction, the pinion 19 gears with a broken rack connected to the usual column 4; a spring-pressed pin prevents accidental movement of the jack arm from its upright position when the pinion passes out of engagement with the toothed part of the rack.
