Abstract: 18,386. Pudney, M. E. Aug. 3. Make-and-break switches, mechanical.-In an advertising-apparatus, a make-and-break switch is actuated intermittently by projections l upon an endless chain f<2>. The circuit is normally made between a base-plate contact j and a contact k carried by the plunger of an adjustable dash-pot n<1>. When a projection l strikes one end of a bell-crank lever, a contact-arm j<1> is raised to engage the contact k, and remove it from the terminal j, thus transferring the circuit to the contacts j<1>, k. Further movement of the projection l releases the bell-crank, and the arm j<1> falls, breaking circuit with the contact k and stopping the chain. After a determined interval, the dash-pot plunger falls to its original position and engages the contact j, causing the chain to be again driven.

Abstract: 20,326. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Aug. 31. Signals and points, interlocking; slots, reversers, and like apparatus. - The current which locks the points in place, and that which operates the corresponding signal, traverse a common lead. In the simple arrangement shown, when the points are set, and a route switch, say F', is closed, if the points are carrectly set a circuit is completed through contacts A<2>, A<1> and a coil V, and a locking-bar R is moved to lock the points. In this movement, a switch D' is moved over and, thereafter, the current flowing in the lead L<1> passes to the signal-operating gear S<1>. When the route switch is returned, a circuit through a coil E is closed and the locking-bar R is withdrawn. Other arrangements are shown where a signal is only set to " safety " when several sets of points are correctly placed. In these cases, the lead H<1>, Fig. 1, passes to a switch similar to D' at the next switch, and so on. The circuit of the signal gear is only closed when all the points have been tested and locked. S<1> may indicate an electro-magnetic coupling; in this case, to prevent the signal-operating motor from being operated before the coupling, the motor circuit includes an electromagnetically-operated switch the magnet of which is in series with the magnet of the coupling.

Abstract: 9760. Smith, W. D. May 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Ordnance, cleaning and lubricating; breech mechanism.-Consists in apparatus for injecting powdered graphite or other dry material into the bore of a gun with the flushing-fluid. The graphite is stored in a hopper 26 on the gun and is introduced into the flushing pipe 20 through a rotary cock 30 in a casing 19, and from thence is carried by the flushing-fluid through a pipe 18 to the gun-breech. The cock 30 is actuated automatically when the gun recoils, by the inertia of an arm 31 on the spindle of the cock, and carries a measured quantity of graphite into the path of the flushing-fluid, which fluid may be mixed with oil admitted by a handcontrolled valve 22. The lever 31, when thrown down, compresses a spring buffer 32 and is latched in the open position by a spring catch 34. The pressure-fluid acts upon a piston 13 on the obturator stem 9. and moves the obturator forwards until ports 17 open communication between grooves 15 in the stem 9 and a pressure chamber 12 in the breech-screw carrier arm 14. The fluid and graphite then pass through the grooves 15 and ports 16 and around the obturator head 8 into the gun. When the breech is opened, a projection 39 on the breech-actuated lever 7 locks a vertical rod 37 through an arm 38 thereon, and, through suitable links, withdraws the latch 34 and enables the spring-plunger 32 to return the arm 31 to the vertical position.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 14,472. Milner's Safe Co., and Ely, C. A. June 20. Operating and controlling doors by weights; checks. -Relates to mechanism for controlling the descent of roller shutters, fireproof curtains, screens, sliding doors, &c., and comprises means for retarding the shutter &c. for the greater portion of its descent and for allowing the shutter to run free during the last portion of the descent. On the end of the shutter or like roller 1 is mounted a cam 2, against which bear rollers 5, 6 on levers 3, 4 pivoted at 3<a>, 4<a> to the framing. To the end of the lever 3 is pivoted a plate 7 slotted at 8 to engage a pin on the lever 4 and formed at its lower end with an horizontal wavy slot 9 terminating in a vertical slot 10, in which works a pin 19 carried by the piston-rod 11 of a dash-pot 13. The plate 7 is connected by a link 20 to a pivoted member 21, which has a projecting portion 23 engaged by a lever 26, which is mounted on the shutter guides 25 and is adapted to engage beneath the bottom rail 24 of the shutter to hold it in the raised position. When the shutter is allowed to descend by releasing the lever 26, the plate 7 is reciprocated vertically, bringing the dashpot into action and retarding the descent of the shutter. Under the action of the spring 17 and wavy slot 9, the plate 7 is drawn over until the pin 19 reaches the lower end of the vertical slot 10, thus putting the dash-pot out of action and allowing the shutter to run free. When the shutter is raised again, the mechanism is reset by turning up the lever 26, by means of a cord &c. 27, to bear against the member 21, which moves the plate 7 back to its original position. The cylinder of the dash-pot has its ends connected by a passage to allow fluid to pass from one side of the piston to the other, the amount of flow being regulated by a screw. In the case of vertically sliding doors, thecam 2 is mounted on one or more pulleys which carry the cords or chain for raising and lowering the door. The cam 2 and arms 3, 4 may be replaced by an eccentric working in a sleeve having an arm working in guides and connected to the plate 7.
