Granted: 1905-06-29
Abstract: 3283. Legendre, A. C. M. Sept. 24,1904 [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Electrically-vibrated sounding plates and diaphragms.-In an electrical method of producing sound, the vibrations of a trembler set in motion by an electro-magnet or induction coil are transmitted to a telephonic receiver combined with a musical or acoustic instrument such as a motorcar horn, bugle, siren, organ-pipe, &c. In the form shown, the battery is in series with a switch I, screw V, trembler T, and the winding of the electro-magnet B. The receiver R and condenser C are each connected in shunt across the contact between the screw and trembler. The vibration of the trembler may be varied by the screw V and by altering its effective length. In another arrangement, the electro-magnet is replaced by an induction coil, the secondary of which is in series with the receiver.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for use with Cabs, or like Vehicles for Indicating Fares due for the Hire of such Vehicles
Inventor: MASCART CHARLES
Filed: 1905-07-31
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 15,661. Mascart, C. July 31. Fares, registering; counting-apparatus. - Payments due for the hire of cabs and the like are registered both as regards distance run and as regards charges independent of the distance ; several scales of charges are provided for by selecting - arrangements controlled from the hiring flag, and a transmission gear driven by a flexible shaft is described. The main counter spindle 1, Fig. 1, carries the three actuating ratchetwheels 2, 3, 4 with different numbers of teeth but of equal pitch, which are driven each by its own pawl 5, 6, 7; the cam shaft 13, turned by the flag arm, determines which pawl shall be in gear, and thus the rate at which the counter is driven. The main distance-fare numeral wheel bears three sets of numbers which show through apertures in three different directions, arid the independent charge wheel 15, Fig. 2, shows similarly. To operate the wheel 15 one step, the flag arm 33 is pushed down to the left and then returned to the right of the vertical; in the first stage, the cam 30 rocks the lever 34, withdrawing the pawl 17 from the ratchetwheel 16 by means of its incline 21 engaging a pin, and. simultaneously disengages the detent 24 ; a central spring then returns the wheel 15 to zero as determined by the pin 35 and stop 36, and on the return stroke of the flag arm, the second cam rocks the lever 34 in the opposite direction, and the pawl, which has previously been returned into gear by its spring, feeds the wheel one step. Further movement is effected by repeated strokes of the arm between the vertical and the right: To enable these registering and indicating parts to be arranged in any position, power is transmitted from the road wheels through a flexible shaft, the extremity of which is attached to a short spindle carried in fixed bearings. From this, motion is carried on by a cam, engaging an adjustable screw point upon a spring-controlled pivoted lever, with spring-pawl driving a ratchet-wheel upon a spindle which drives the counting-mechanism.

Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 288. Jansen, J. Jan. 12, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Making.-In a machine for bending horseshoes, in which a bar is first bent into a U-shape by a plunger 6, and the heel calks are then bent by an horizontally moving carriage 31, the shoe being finally pressed into shape by a plunger 17, all the operating parts are operated from a main shaft 12, and means for ejecting the finished shoe are provided. The plunger 6 is operated by a cam 11 and depresses the blank between rollers 2 carried on pivoted bars 4. The slide 20, operated by a cam 24, then rises and lifts the rollers to the position shown in Fig. 2, thus allowing the calking-tools 31, operated by a wiper 30 driven through segmental gearing 27 by a crank-operated rod 26, to bend over the ends of the shoe. The eccentric-operated slide 16, carrying the finishing-die 17 with recesses 49 for the calks, then moves forwards, and, in so doing, causes the finger 13 to push the plunger 6 away from the shoe. The die 17 is of conical form and forges the shoe to its finished shape. A rod 50 carried on the slide causes the lever 54 to eject the blank, and a pin 58, acting on a projection 57 of the rod, tilts the latter and releases the spring-controlled ejecting-lever.
