Patent GB-190827246-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Calculating or Adding Machines
Inventor: LANGE JOERGEN ELIAS
Filed: 1908-12-15
Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 27,246. Lange, J. E., Lange, L., and Moe, A. T. Dec. 15. Calculating-apparatus.-In an adding-machine of the type described in Specification No. 17,201, A.D. 1903, means are provided whereby the items are indicated on segments or wheels mounted on the same shaft as the adding-wheel and actuated through the device that effects the forward rotation of the adding-wheels. The keys 8, movable between two levers 5, 7, have projections 9. 10, one on each side, arranged to strike the levers when a key is depressed. The projection 9 depresses the lever 5, and through the rack 4 rotates the loose hub 2, to which the segment 29 and pawl 13 are attached, the pawl actuating the adding-wheels 1 to an extent depending on the particular key depressed. The projection 10 then depresses the lever 7, and through the catch 11 locks the adding-wheels in position. Adjacent to the adding-wheels are itemindicating segments 18 loosely mounted on the shaft 21 ; these have pawls 23 engaging the pins 12 on the adding-wheels and are provided with a ratchet arc 25, held concentric by a pin bearing on an arm of the segment and engaging a knife-edge 28 on the rack 4. The adding-wheels are held in the normal position by detents 15, and a small angular movement must be given to the segments 29 to release the adding-wheels, the detents being raised by the arcs 30 lifting the projections 32. At the same time this movement releases the knives 28 from their racks, so that the item indicating- segments are free to move with the adding-wheels. Depression of a key causes the pawl 13 to rotate the adding-wheel by an amount depending on the key depressed, and the segment 29, coming into contact with the item-indicating segment 18 after the initial movement, rotates it to the same extent. The catch 11 stops the rotation of the adding-wheel, and the pawl 23 prevents the segment 18 from rotating further. When the rack 4 is returned to its normal position, the knife engages the notch corresponding to the depressed key and prevents the friction at the time of transfer from moving the segment 18 forward. The item-indicating segments are returned to the zero position by depressing a special key 20, which through its lever and rack 36 rotates the hub 37, having the levers 39,40 attached, so that the lever 39 engages one of the arms of the segments 18 and rotates them to initial position. The plate 19 slides in a groove and has slots to show the digits on the segments or wheels.

Title: Electric Furnace.
IPC: F27D11/08
Filed: 1909-02-24
Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 4 5 5 3. Aktiebolaget Electrometall. March 10, 1908, [Convention date]. Electrode furnaces. - A metallurgical furnace comprises a smelting-chamber 1, a cupola 3, a central vertical feeding shaft 12, and inclined electrodes 6 passing through a space which is left beween the furnace walls and the heap of mixed ore and fuel fed in from the shaft. When the ore is earthy or pulverulent, the mixture may be fed into the shaft from a rotating cylinder 9 having longitudinal internal ribs. The gaseous products pass off through the materials, so that some pressure is maintained within the furnace. The gas may be burnt by supplying air through a pipe 13, in which case the fuel must be fed separately from the ore, for instance by a hopper 14. The electrodes, which pass through water-cooled and gas-tight adjustable guides, are preferably supplied with polyphase currents, and are not allowed to approach the bottom of the furnace. More than one shaft may be provided.

Inventor: NASH WILLIAM FRANCIS
IPC: A01M23/04
Filed: 1909-05-29
Granted: 1910-05-26
Abstract: 12,694. Nash, W. r. May 29. Animal traps.-In a self-setting trap of the tilting-platform type, the operation of the outer entrance platform A, Fig. 1, is prevented until the inner platform B is depressed by the animal.

Abstract: 18,405. Jones, F. Hope-. Aug. 10. Electric clocks.-In secondary electric clockwork for dials, time-recorders, &c., in which a large ratchet-wheel is driven by a pawl on a pivoted armature-lever, the wheel is locked against external forces by the co-operation of a back-stop lever with the armature lever. A pin 9 on the lever 7 which carries the back-stop 10 is adapted to engage with a recess 14 in the armature lever 4, so that, when this lever is in the withdrawn position, it holds the lever 7 down. In order to set the hands &c., the driving-pawl 6 is lifted by raising the lever 7. The pin 9 and the momentum-stop 13 may be faced with leather. Specification 7868/97 is referred to.
