Patent GB-190702752-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Controllers for Electric Hoists or Elevators
Inventor: ZWEIGBERGK THORSTEN VON
Filed: 1907-02-04
Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 2752. Zweigbergk, T. von. Nov. 28, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches. - A controller for a hoisting or elevating motor is arranged to govern the motor in the usual manner for raising, but with lowering positions which reverse the motor and establish a shunt about the armature of such reversed motor. When the controller is moved to the right, the motor is started and resistances R<1>.... R<4> are gradually cut out. When it is turned to the left, the armature A is reversed, and in the first three positions the armature is shunted by the resistances r<1>, r<2>, r<3> respectively. The field F is still energized and the motor starts, by the drop of potential across the shunt; as the motor speeds up, the back electromotive force reduces the current in the armature, and reverses the current when the speed is high enough, the armature thus acting as a brake. In order to lower at full speed, the controller is turned to the fourth, fifth, and sixth positions, in which the main resistances R<1>..... R<4> are cut out.

Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 23,441. Nikiforoff, A. von. Oct. 23. Telegraphs; telephones; telephone systems.-Telephone and other feeble currents are amplified by the action of the poles of an electro-magnet, through which the current passes, on an annular armature suspended by a stretched loop and connected to a pin which presses on the membrane of a microphone in a separate circuit. The poles of the electro-magnet are polarized by a separate electro-magnet. The line circuit 1 passes round the coil 3 and magnetizes the hollow concentric poles 4, 5. Near the ends of these poles are two other hollow concentric poles 7, 8, which are split up into four sections longitudinally, and have windings attached to the line connexion 9. The poles 7, 8 have an annular armature 20, which is divided into segments similarly to the poles and is suspended by the stretched loop 16, which passes over the sliding piece 14 on the #-shaped carrier 12. The microphone 25, which is in a separate circuit with an ordinary telephone receiver, is suspended by the arm 22 to an axis 21 on the carrier 12, and is pressed by the adjustable counterpoise 26 on to the rounded pin 19, which is attached to the armature 20. The microphone consists of a membrane 24 separated by grains of carbon from a carbon plate 23, which is held in a mantle of felt or the like. The membrane has indentations in its periphery which allow of bending and of circulation of air. In modifications, the membrane may be replaced by a loop of wire, or the microphone may be replaced by a contact between two parts of platinum, carbon, or metallic oxide, and the gravity counterpoise 26 may be replaced by an electro-magnetic device for adjusting the pressure on the pin 19.

Title: An Improved Machine for Labelling Packets, Tins or the like.
Inventor: LOVELL EDWARD COLSTON
Filed: 1907-11-27
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 26,272. Lovell, E. C. Nov. 27. Gumming.-In a machine for labelling packets, tins, &c., an ungummed label is lifted from a magazine by a gumming-device and placed upon a carrier which moves the label into the path of a packet pressed down by a plunger. The packet is pressed through an opening in the carrier so as partly to fold the label around the packet, the upstanding ends being afterwards folded down by horizontally - reciprocating folders. The various parts are actuated by levers connected to cam shafts below the table 2. Figs. 3 and 5 are vertical sections at right-angles to each other. The packets y are contained in receptacles 500 mounted upon frames a, between which the lowest packet is pushed by the slide 54 under the presser 62, which presses the packet down upon the label x resting on the carrier 47 and through the aperture 48 of the carrier on to the labelled packet below. The reciprocating slide 77 then folds down one end of the label, and the other end is then folded down to overlap by means of the slide 88, which is provided with a pivoted arm 87 and roller 86. The pivoted arm 87 is turned down to bring the roller against the packet by the pressure of the slide-actuating link 89 pivoted to the arm 87 at 22, the arm 87 being provided with a radial extension 870 to limit its upward movement so that the link 89 can withdraw the slide 88 after raising the arm 87. The frames 79, 83 carrying the cross-pieces 81, 82, between which the packet is pushed to effect the first folding, may be made capable of small longitudinal movements with the slide 88 to allow for variations in the length of the package. The labelled packets are pushed out through the opening a<2>, Fig. 5, in one of the frames a by an upright arm carried by a reciprocating slide 98. The gumming- apparatus comprises a roller 28 carried by a horizontally-reciprocating cross-bar 26 from a roller 19 rotating in a reservoir 18 to the vertically-reciprocating gummer 16, which, after being gummed by the roller 28, descends to pick up a label from the magazine 14. The label-carrier 47, carried by a reciprocating cross-bar 46, moves under the gummer 16 holding a label, and the label is pushed off from the gummer 16 so as to drop on the carrier by means of an inner part 17 of the gummer, which is pushed down relatively to the outer part of the gummer at the proper moment.

Abstract: 27,000. Schupp, G., and Weingõrtner, G. Dec. 6. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Targets.-Fig. 2 is a plan, partly in section, showing a sectional target with electric contactmaking devices, and Fig. 7 shows printing-apparatus, controlled by electro-magnets s, for recording the values of the shots on a paper band 7. The target is constructed of a bull's-eye 1 and a number of concentric rings divided along radial lines into segments, each of which is attached to a sliding non-conducting rod a carrying two or more electric contact-pieces g, h, h1 arranged to complete circuits through contact-pieces i, k, h2 carried by insulated conducting-segments c, rings f, and a plate F respectively. Inked printing-stamps z are carried by levers x supported hy hooked armature levers engaging with pins on the levers x. A wire from each of the rings f is led to an electro-magnet s of the indicator, and the corresponding stamp z is marked with the number of the target ring or the value of the shot. The stamps corresponding with the segments c indicate whether the shot is high, low, right, or left. The plate F carries four contact-pieces h2 opposite to the rods a attached to the outer sections of the target, and is connected by a single wire to an electro-magnet opposite to a stamp indicating the value of the shot. The position of the outer shots, such as high, right, low, left, &c. is further indicated by the contacts g, i, h, k, the outer sections of the plate f being connected by wires to sections of the plate c for the purpose of giving the extra indication. The target sections are stepped to project one in front of another on radial and concentric lines, and are pressed outwards by springs e. The contact-pieces h, k may be closer together than the contacts g, i, and the plate f may be arranged to slide on rods B against springs l. The paper is drawn from a roller 6 over a roller 8 and is wound on a roller 9 by a handlever with a pin 18, which acts on a lever carrying a spring pawl 11 engaging with a ratchet-wheel 10 on the roller 9. A pad 31, for inking the stamps z and returning the levers x into position to engage with the armature levers, is operated by the pin 18 engaging with a hooked rod 20 ; this rod is slotted to move on a guide pin 22, is connected to an arm 29 on a shaft 28 with arms 30 carrying the pad, and is raised by a spring 23. By using two series of contacts, the number of electro-magnets and stamps is reduced. Specifications No. 4641, A.D. 1881, No. 10,342, A.D. 1891, and No. 4909, A.D. 1894, are referred to.
