Title: Improvements in Electrical Apparatus for Locking Levers Operating Railway and other Switches, Signals, and the like from a Distance.
IPC: B61L19/16
Filed: 1909-04-05
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 8168. Soc. C. Legrand et Cie. April 9, 1908, [Convention date]. Hand-levers and hand gearing.-A sliding member C attached to a hand-lever is locked in each of two positions by means of a projection I on a rocking lever D engaging in grooves in the slider ; the rocking lever D is held in position by one arm of a bell-crank, the other arm of which is held fixed by the pivoted armature of an electromagnet, until the magnet is energized. The magnet H controls the arma'ure G, which is pivoted so that its lower end is over a lug on the end of the bell-crank F, which end is thereby prevented from rising. The other end of the lever F, carries a roller e, and this roller holds up the end of a lever D ; the proportions of the parts are such that the lever D tends to turn the bell-crank so as to lift the long arm of that member, and this turning force is applied with a very short leverage. The slider C cannot be moved unless the lever D is free to turn. If the magnet H is energized, this motion is possible, and the bell-crank F then moves and its long arm strikes the end of lever D, serving to move it clear of the slider C. A pin p is normally held by a sealed lock, but may be released in case of breakdown to hold the armature G so as to release the lock on the lever. In its normal position, the end of the lever F keeps open a spring contact arranged on an adjustable support, but, when the lock is removed and the lever F is locked, the contact is closed and suitable signals are actuated.

Abstract: 17,340. Anderson, A. July 26. Impulse and reaction meters.-Relates to apparatus for mixing, measuring, or dosing liquids &c. in definite proportions, applicable to water softeners, degreasers, &c., in which a small quantity of a chemical solution is added to a given quantity of water. One liquid is supplied by a pipe b to a measuring-wheel c having one or more compartments. As each compartment is filled, the wheel advances a fraction of a revolution so that each compartment is filled in turn. The movement of the wheel operates a secondary measuring-apparatus consisting of a star-wheel g having arms carrying pivoted buckets h. These buckets dip into a liquid contained in a separate compartment and are carried round until they engage a fixed projection j. The buckets are then inverted, and the liquid flows into a shoot k, which delivers into the tank e or the measuring-wheel. The measuring-wheel may consist of end plates and spiral longitudinal partitions. Cams l on the end plates engage a weighted or spring- pressed bell-crank lever m to retain the wheel in position until one compartment is filled. A ratchet - wheel also mounted on the end plate prevents reverse movement of the measuring- wheel. A counter or recording-mechanism may be added to the apparatus. One or more starwheels may be mounted on the shaft of the measuring-wheel.

Title: Improvements in Piano Players for Stringed Musical Instruments.
Inventor: HARTLEY HENRY
Filed: 1910-01-04
Granted: 1911-01-04
Abstract: 220. Hartley, H., and Canova, V. Jan. 4. Winding-mechanism for the tune sheets of piano-organs. The frame 2, Fig. 1, carrying the spools of a finished tunesheet can be removed bodilv from the tracker compartment B of a double holder and placed in a second compartment A in which the sheet is rewound while a fresh sheet is being played from, a device being provided for disengaging the frame from its driving-gear when the sheet is entirely rewound. In playing, the take - up spool is driven from the main shaft 11 through an adjustable friction-disk drive 14, 18, pinwheel 25, and crown - wheel 26, splined to the socket spindle 27. To enable a particular section of the tunesheet to be played over again, the take-up roller may be provided with a freewheeling clutch, and gear is then provided which can be put in action for partly re-winding the sheet on the upper roller. When the sheet is finished winding, a shaft 34 is turned, which, by cams 36, takes off the pressure of holding - springs 39, 40, and, by a crank and connecting-rod arrangement, retracts the spindle 27. The frame 2 is now transferred from the compartment B to compartment A, another frame with a fresh sheet is placed in compartment B, and the shaft 34 is rocked back. The frame in the compartment A is pushed to the right against the spring 39 until the spindle 8 engages the socket of the re-winding-pinion 17, and is held in that position by a catch-arm 42 on a shaft 41. Then, on turning the driving- shaft 11 by a crank handle, clock-work, or electric motor, the one sheet will be re-wound through pinion 13 &c., at the same time that the other is being played from. When re-winding is completed, a catch 47 previously held up by the sheet falls into a notch in the take-up spool and drops an arm 45 of the shaft 41 into engagement with a pin-wheel 49, attached to the rewinding-pinion 13. The shaft 41 is thus rocked and releases the frame 2 from the catcharm 42, enabling the spring 39 to thrust it out of engagement with the rewinding-gear. The arrangement is applicable to coin-freed instruments.

Abstract: 60. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anitin & Soda Fabrik]. Jan. 2. Gases &c., treating electrically.-Impurities such as dust, fog, &c. are separated from gases by passing them first through an electric field in which a brush discharge is taking place, and afterwards through a field in which there is no brush discharge taking place. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a brush discharge emanates from the points, sharp edges, &c. of the electrode A, and the gases afterwards pass through the field between the smooth electrode C and the electrode D. The fields may be arranged to alternate, for example the electrodes may be arranged as baffle-plates A, D, Fig. 2, the brush discharge taking place between the points, sharp edges of the plates A and the cylinder B, and the gases afterwards passing through the fields between the plates A, D in which no brush discharge is taking place. Or the electrodes A may alternate with short smooth cylindrical electrodes. The two sets of electrodes may be supplied from the same or a different source of electricity, but for the production of a field in which no brush discharge occurs, it is preferred to use a direct current, while the brush discharge is advantageously formed by an alternating current.
