Patent GB-190903075-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Adding Machines.
Inventor: VINCENT JESSE GURNEY
IPC: G06C11/06
Filed: 1909-02-08
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 3075. Vincent, J. G. March 21, 1908, [Convention date.] Adding-apparatus; controlling printing of zeroes.- Adding - machines, particularly those of the Burroughs type, such as are described in Specifications 17,126/93, and 27,874/03, are adapted to be split at any selected point by preventing at this point the driver of the type hammer from executing its usual function, in the normal or unsplit condition of the machine, of tripping the adjacent hammer latch, instead of by the method described in Specification 27,269/07, of uncoupling adjacent hammer latches by the disengagement of a coupler-bar. Normally, in printing an item or total, the drivers 716, Fig. 3, actuating the type hammers 715, are adapted to trip the adjacent latches 717, which restrain the drivers and thus the type hammers, by means of bent arms b directly engaging them. The necessary zeroes are thus automatically printed by the machine. This tripping action may be prevented at any selected denomination by adjusting an index hand g', Fig. 7, upon a perforated scale, thus causing a collar e, Fig. 3, to be interposed between the tail of the corresponding driver and a trans verse shaft d by means of a connecting-link G. The stud 753 of the driver is thus prevented from entering the lower extension 7<a> of the slot in the type hammer, and consequently the bent arm b does not engage the adjacent latch 717.

Title: An Improved Method of Cutting Abrasive Files.
Inventor: NEILL JAMES
IPC: B23D73/00
Filed: 1909-03-18
Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 6444. Neill, J. March 18. Files.-Files made with deep teeth of wide pitch have a hard-steel layer with a backing of soft metal, such as mild steel, so that, when the hard metal is severed or partly severed by a chisel, the soft metal is allowed to stretch. The file is afterwards tempered. Instead of using composite metal, the metal may be of the same temper throughout but sufficiently soft to allow it to elongate without breaking and be hardened afterwards. According to the Provisional Specification, the hard - steel surface may contain tungsten, chromium, or vanadium, or a combination of these or similar elements.

Abstract: 25,263. Felten & Guilleaume- Lahmeyerwerke. Nov. 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Boosting.-A motor a connected across the mains drives a constantcurrent generator b of the type described in Specifications 23,216/07 and 25,744/07, and connected in series with the consumption circuit l. The generator b is excited by two windings, one h carrying the series current or a current proportional thereto, and the other d connected across the machines a, b. The windings h, d act in opposition, and for a certain value of the series-current no electro - motive force is developed in the generator b. The winding d may be replaced by two windings connected across the machines a, b respectively. The machine b is preferably provided with interpoles. The motor-generator is particularly applicable for feeding single motors without special starting - devices, for working rolling-mill or hoisting-motors, and for supplying arc-light circuits.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Railway and like Signalling Apparatus.
Inventor: COLEMAN CLARENCE WILLIAM
IPC: B61L5/16
Filed: 1910-02-14
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 3629. Coleman, C. W. Feb. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Visual outdoor signals.-An electric motor 2, Fig. 1, rotates a semaphore spindle 14 through spur - gearing and an electro - magneticallyoperating friction clutch, of which one member 16 is secured to the spindle. The semaphore is moved by the motor into safety position, and is held there by an hydraulic lock. This lock comprises a piston 27 coupled to the driving clutch member 16, Fig. 5, which draws oil from a reservoir 31 into a cylinder 26 past a non- return valve 34. The semaphore is released and returns to the danger position when an electromagnet 44 is de-energized, and permits a pin valve 40 to open. The circuits of the motor, the friction clutch, and the releasing-magnet are arranged in parallel, the common part of the circuits containing the track relay and battery. The motor and clutch circuits are further controlled by a switch 53, 54, by which they are broken when the semaphore reaches safety position. The switch is actuated by a link 61 coupled to the clutch member 16. When the track relay is de-energized, the magnet 44 is de-energized, the pin valve opens, and the hydraulic lock is released. The clutch member 16, keyed to the spindle 14, is recessed to receive a coil, and has a disk armature 18 which is caused to rotate with it by pins 19. An annular iron plate 20 situated between the part 16 and its armature is provided with peripheral teeth which engage corresponding teeth on the last wheel 10 of the driving-train. The coil receives a current through the sliding contact 118, 119. When the coil is energized, the armature is attracted and grips the plate 20, and so clutches the wheel 10 and spindle 14 together. The pin valve 40 is linked to a lever 69 pivoted at 47. An armature 45 is adjustably mounted on this lever, and co-operates with the magnet 44. All the parts are contained in a box 75 carried on top of the signal post.

Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 8920. Rogers, W. April 13. Inclined-plane and like load-handling machines.-Relates to apparatus of the kind in which a pivoted shoot b having a hopper b<3> at one 'end is elevated into the position z by the piston-rod c<1> of a fluid pressure cylinder c mounted on trunnions c<3> in order that the contents of the hopper may be discharged down the shoot into a wagon or other receptacle, and consists mainly in adapting the apparatus for removing ashes from a locomotive. The shoot b is counterbalanced by a weight f<1> and is provided with a delivery section b<4> of adjustable inclination. The section b<4> is pivoted at b<5> and carries an arm g<3> which is connected by a link g<2> to one arm of a bent lever g<1> which is regulated by screw mechanism i<2> operated by a hand-wheel. The hopper b<3> rests in the lower position upon adjustable stops l and is sustained in an elevated position by a hinged spring bolt which can be withdrawn by a hand-lever j<15>. When hot ashes are being received into the hopper, they are cooled by a spray of water from a rose k<1>. The supply of water is controlled by a valve k<2> in the pipe k which is arranged to be retained open when the hopper is lowered and to be self-closing when the copper begins to ascend. In the form shown the hopper is raised by creating a vacuum above the piston and this is effected by connecting the pipe e to the brake pipe of the locomotive. A valve p is provided on the top of the cylinder c, the spindle of which is raised by the piston as it reaches the end of its stroke. 'This opens the valve just as the hopper passes above the stop j, and allows the hopper to i descend to rest upon the stop. The descent of the hopper is controlled by a restricted aperture or the like in the pipe d. In the form' - shown in Fig. 4, this is effected by a disk r which is automatically raised by the pressure of the issuing air to close a .series of apertures r<2> in a disk r<1>. The air then emerges only from a central aperture r<3> formed in the boss r<4>, upon which the disk r slides. A syren m may be mounted in the pipe d to indicate when the hopper is being lowered.

Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 18,415. Jacobs, J. Aug. 16, 1910, [Convention date]. Photo - mechanical printing - surfaces. - A method of preparing printing - surfaces either in relief or intaglio consists in mechanically impressing the matter to be reproduced in non- transparent pigment on a developing film which is either previously or subsequently rendered sensitive to light, thereafter exposing the film to light, and employing the film as a transfer etching resist. The pigment may be removed after exposure, and the film transferred and developed on the roller. The roller will be etched in intaglio where the film was protected by the pigment impression. For relief printing, the resist is coated with varnish after development but before etching. The solution used to remove the gelatine film does not affect the unexposed parts of the resist, which are now protected by the varnish. Alternatively, for producing a relief type, a negative impression is impressed on the film, and the former process adopted.
