Abstract: 16,537. Siemeas Bros. Dynamo Works, and Schupp, E. July 15. Contacts; sparking, preven!ing.-A double-jointed flicker piece is pivotally mounted on the end of a controller arm to take the spark. The arm b, pivoted at n, has an extension d at a point d', of which is pivoted a link e. The link is normally pressed by a spring l on the arm against a stop v also on the arm. A contact-piece g of carbon or other material is pivoted in a slot in the link e, and is normally pressed by a spring n<1> so that its flat ledge t rests against a flat part of the link. A concave part of the plece g contacts with rollers j on spindles k connected by leads p with main contacts c. As the switch arm is rotated in a clockwise sense, the link e with its contact g is depressed by a roller j against the force of the spring l. When released by the roller, the link springs forward, and the piece makes contact with the next roller, this operation being timed to take place just in advance of the movement of the main brush on to the corresponding main contact.

Abstract: 26,481. Obermiller, M. W. Nov. 18,1908, [Convention date]. Detent and overt h r o w - preventing mechanism.-In a date and time stamp of the type operated electro-magnotically from a distant clock, and having type wheels operated by a stepped pawl-bar engaging with the various ratchet-wheels, cam-controlled locking-devices are provided to prevent movement of the type-wheels except at the required intervals. The electro-magnet 18, mounted in the base attracts momentarity at intervals the pivoted armature 23, and thereby, through the link 24 and lever 25 the movement of which is controlled by a stop 27 and spring 28, reciprocates the pawl frame 33, Fig. 3, pivoted on the shaft 32. While the frame 33 moves towards the left, the spring-controlled pawl bar 36, having pawls of various depths, rides over the ratchet-wheels connected to the day, hour, and minute printing-wheels, which are kept from moving by the pawls 43; and, at the end of the movement, a bar 31 engages with and lifts a cam 57 fixed to the pivoted locking pawls 48 and lifts them clear of the ratchet-wheels, so that one or more of them may be moved one step forward by the return movement of the pawl-bar 36. At the end of the return movement, the bar 31 engages with a cam-piece 50<a> at the end of a lever 50 attached to the pawls 48, and holds them against ratchet-wheels, which are thus positively locked against further movement until the next reciprocation of the pawl frame.

Patent GB-190929263-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Valve Controlling Devices.
Inventor: SCHULTE JOHANN
IPC: F22D5/00
Filed: 1909-12-14
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 29,263. Schulte, J. Dec. 14. Actuating valves.-Relates to valve-controlling mechanism, and more particularly to boiler feed-water regulating-devices of the kind in which a feed-valve is operated by water pressure under the control of a float-operated valve. According to the invention, the float-operated valve controls the admission of pressure water which effects the positive opening of the feedvalve, whereas in devices as used hitherto the float-operated valve acts as a pressure-relieving valve. The feed-valve is provided with a differential piston or diaphragm on which the water pressure acts, and is adapted to be actuated independently of the float both by hand and by water pressure. Figs. 3 and 4 show a feed-valve 14 normally held closed by the water pressure admitted from the pump side 36 of the feed-valve by a pipe 35 to act on the upper face 34 of its differential piston 16. The upper face 34 is connected to the larger underface 30 by way of a water circuit comprising passages 33, 24 in a four-way cock 22, a pipe 1, passage 10, valve chamber 9, passage 11, pipe 32, and passage 29. This circuit is normally closed by a valve 6, which is held up against its seat by a float 4, while the under surface 30 of the differential piston is opened to the atmosphere at a passage 12 by means of an equilibrium valve 7 which is held open by the float. When the water-level in the boiler falls sufficiently to admit steam to the float casing, the valve 6 opens,. the valve 7 closes, pressure is admitted to the under face 30 of the differential piston, and the feed-valve is opened. When the waterlevel again rises, condensation takes place in the float chamber, this being facilitated by permitting leakage from the valve chamber 9 into the float chamber, whereupon the float closes the valve 6, and the feed-valve is thereby closed. The pipe 35 may be replaced by a passage extending through the feed-valve and its rod. To permit the feed-valve to be operated independently by hand, the stem 18 is provided with a head capable of moving freely in a cavity of the differential piston. To open the feed-valve by water pressure independently of the float, the cock 22 is turned so as to put the passages 33, 26 into communication whereby the pressure water is admitted to the under surface 30 of the piston through a pipe 27. The closing of the feed-valve is effected by turning the cock so that the under surface 30 is opened to the atmosphere at a port 25. In a modification a differential diaphragm is employed instead of the piston 16. The pressure water may be derived from any source other than the feed-water pipe 36.

Abstract: 2935. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Feb. 7. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically; change-box motions.-In looms provided with a Hollingworth & Knowles head motion, comprising upper and lower cylinder gear shafts 4, 6, Fig. 5, carrying the cylinder gears 3, 5 and also the gears 7, 8 for operating the vibrator gears 15 and levers 14 for controlling the shuttle boxes, special vibrator levers 14<a> and gears 15<a> actuated from cylinder gears 26, 27, which are driven by differential gearing at half the speed of the gears 7, 8, are used to give a rocking movement to the rotary magazine so as to place a bobbin of the required colour beneath the transferrer. The levers 14<a> are connected through a compound-lever arrangement, a chain, and a spring-controlled rod to a lever, which raises and lowers a rod carrying a worm gearing with a worm-wheel on the rotary magazine. The cylinder gears 26, 27 are provided with bevel-wheels 24, which gear with bevel-wheels'23 fast on the shafts 4, 6 and also with the bevel-wheels 28, which have extensions screwed to the frame 2. A gear 36, Fig. 3, on the harness pattern-cylinder shaft 35 is driven from the lower cylinder gear shaft through a reversing arrangement operated by a sliding key, which has an engaging knob 19 and an annular groove to receive a collar provided with studs 20<1> entering open-end slots in the upper forked end 21<2> of a reversing-lever 21. A shield 37 on the gear-wheel 36 prevents the lever 21 from being moved until one of a series of notches 37<1> on the shield comes opposite an extension 21<a> of the lever 21, this occurring only every other pick. The gear 36 drives through spur gearing a pin-wheel operating a star-wheel fast on a sleeve carrying the pattern cylinder for the box and magazine, which is thus driven at half the speed of the harness pattern cylinder fast on the shaft 35.

Granted: 1911-07-19
Abstract: 17,166. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. July 19. Electro - magnetic actuation. - A starting- device for electric motors comprises a single undivided actuating - coil having a single undivided magnetic frame operating a main switch and a member controlling the starting resistance in the motor circuit. The main switch, comprising a main contact 31, Fig. 2, an arcing contact 37, and a blow - out coil 45, and the regulating-switch 4 are operated by a solenoid 14 connected in series with resistances a<3>, a<4>, normally short - circuited. When the knife switch a<6> and the hand switch a<5> are closed, the solenoid 14 is energized and closes the main switch 31 against a spring. At the same time, the switch arm 4 commences to move upwards, and, on leaving the contact 3<a>, connects the resistance a<4> in series with the solenoid 14, and so reduces the current in the solenoid 14 to a value insufficient to close the main switch 21, should it become open. When the resistance a<2> is cut out, a projection 19 on the arm 4 opens the shortcircuit across the resistance a<3>. The current through the solenoid 14 is now insufficient to raise the arm 4, should it fall. The switch short-circuiting the resistance a<3> is preferably of the construction shown in Fig. 3, comprising an arm 18 pivoted at 20 and having a toggle connexion with a small arm 23. A small insulating-disk carried upon the lower end of the core 17 closes the switch 18 when the arm 4 is almost at its lowermost position. In a modification, the solenoid 14, Fig. 6, is first connected through a switch 67 maintained closed by the arm 4 in its lowest position. When the arm 4 rises, the switch 67 opens, but at the same time the circuit of the solenoid 14 is completed through a switch 72 carried by the main switch 31 and a resistance c<1>. Should the main switch open, the solenoid 14 cannot be again energized until the switch arm 4 has fallen to its lowest position to close the switch 67.
