Title: Apparatus for Automatically Lighting and Extinguishing Street Lamps and the like.
Inventor: CLERC EUGENE CHARLES
Filed: 1909-07-16
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 16,628. Clerc, E. C., and Bidault, E. A. July 16. Calendar and like mechanism; time - indicators.-Relates to an electric clock arrangement for lighting and extinguishing street lamps &c., the times of operation being automatically adjusted according to the seasons of the year. Wheels 34, 35, Figs. 4 and 8, driven by the clock through worm gearing, rotate on an axis 36, around which also revolve arms 37, 38 jointed respectively to arms 41, 42 connected to a pin 43 adapted to slide in a radial slot 44 of the wheel 35. During a complete rotation of the day wheel, the pins successively lift a weight 53 to open and close the gas cock, the position of the pins on the dial determining the times at which these operations take place. To adjust the operations automatically to agree with the varying lengths of the days, the sleeve 54 of the back wheel 34 carries a pinion 55, which gears with a planet-wheel 57 carried by the wheel 35. The wheel 34 has one tooth more than the day wheel 35, and the gearing above referred to is such that the wheel 57 is rotated once in a year. The wheel 57 is connected to the pin 43 by a link 58, and the necessary adjustment of the operating-pins is thus obtained. The wheel 35 is provided with a dial, a fixed pointer 61 indicating the time, and additional divisions corresponding to the months of the year in which the operating times agree, together with additional pointers, may also be provided. To adjust the pointers, the sleeve of the pinion 55 may be rotated by a knob, Fig. 8, and the dial may be set by turning the knob after disengaging the worm from the wheels 34,35. Electric clocks. - The driving-mechanism of the clock, Fig. 5, comprises a coil 3 and a U- shaped soft-iron yoke 4 supporting the coil and attached to the frame 5. The movable core, connected by a rod 8 to a lever carrying a pawl, drives a ratchet-wheel 12 by its weight, and actuates a mercury-contact interrupter whereby the coil is energized to raise the core after each descent. To sharpen the action of the interrupter, the movement of a mild-steel lever 20, Fig. 9, pivoted to a support 21, is started by a fork 18 which contacts with an ivory pin 19. The other end of the lever 20 carrying a platinum wire 23, which may dip into a mercury cup 24, is arranged between the limbs of a horse-shoe magnet 25. The magnet is arranged to attract the arm 20 as it oscillates to give a sharp make-and-break of the circuit.

Granted: 1911-01-06
Abstract: 11,527. Saalburg, C. W. Nov. 16, 1908, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Impression surfaces; overlays.-In printing from intaglio plates, in order to obviate any ink impression outside the picture area, five or six pieces of manilla or other strong paper are coated with strong glue and adhesively superposed on the impression cylinder. Each end of the impression cylinder is provided with a bearing in the form of a ring or band projecting above the surface of the impression cylinder at substantially the same height as the elevated surface. Metal rings or bands in sections may be used and fastened by countersunk screws. The height of the bearings may thus be adjusted by interposing sheets of paper. The press is started to press the wet glued papers. down to exactly the thickness of the bands. When the surface is partly dry the printing cylinder is inked up and the press revolved once to print an impression on the elevated paper surface. The portions outside the picture area are cut away. In this way an elevated surface on the impression cylinder is obtained exactly corresponding with the picture but not extending beyond it and any slight film of ink on the printing cylinder will not thus be transferred to the paper printed. The printing cylinder can be used when cold without heating for printing on dry paper with thin ink.
