Patent GB-191225959-A (GB)
Title: Improved Record Printing and Registering Apparatus for Meters.
Inventor: KOLAR NANDOR
IPC: B67D7/24
Filed: 1911-11-13
Granted: 1913-11-12
Abstract: 25,959. Kolar, N. Nov. 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Counters actuated by revolving mechanism; counters with recording-apparatus.-Apparatus for recording the monetary value of gas, electricity, &c. measured by a supply meter, comprises a counting-train F, bearing type, driven from the meter shaft through bevelgearing 5, 6, and through a single-toothed member 7, and furnished with transfer pinions 11, which are carried in oblique slots formed in partitions 18. The printing-device consists of a platen 19 and a pressure plate 20 mounted, at opposite sides of the counter, on guides 21 forming part of the framing. Two pairs of eccentrics 23, carried by shafts 22, Figs. 1 and 3, are adapted on rotation of the shafts 22 to move the plates 19, 20 inward and press the record sheet 36 and a carbon sheet on to the type-wheels, these shafts being driven from a shaft 25 which is rotated by a key inserted in a keyhole 32. The type-wheels are thus subjected to opposite pressures at the extremities of a diameter. The record slip is inserted in a slot 35, Fig. 3, and is supported by a flange 37 on the platen 19. The indicating-shafts 1, 2, 3 bear arms provided with points 41 which perforate the record strip and show the position of the indicating-hands on dials printed on the strip. Zeroizing - mechanism. - During the second half of the rotation of the shaft 25, the transfer pinions and the actuating-pinion are raised out of engagement by arms 15, and the printing- wheels are returned to zero by arms 14 which are mounted on a shaft 13 and are forced against heart-cams 12 upon the wheels when a projection 28 on the shaft 25 strikes a shoulder 29 on one of the arms 14. Counters actuated by electric means with snap actton.-When applied to electric meters, a magnet 46, Fig. 6, is energized at each complete revolution of the spindle 50 of the units indicating - wheel, the armature 60 bearing a toothed section 61 which actuates, through ratchet and spur gearing, type-bearing counters printing the total amount, the amount consumed since the last recording, and the value of that amount. Intermittent actuation of the magnet is effected by a drum 48 mounted on the shaft 50 and connected thereto by a spring 52. An arm 54 mounted on a shaft 56 serves, in co-operation with a pin 53, to lock the drum until an arm 57 on the shaft 56 is raised by a pin 58 on the shaft 50. A pin 59 on the shaft 50 serves as a stop for the pin 53 after one revolution has been completed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Hauling Plant.
IPC: B66B1/38
Filed: 1912-11-18
Granted: 1914-02-18
Abstract: 26,430. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, & Cie. Nov. 17, 19L1, [Convention date]. Electric plant. - An electric winding-engine is brought to rest at the end of the wind by means of resistances which come into action at a point depending on the direction and magnitude of the winding-power. The hoisting-motor b is in circuit with a dynamo a driven by a motor fed from the mains. The field winding g of the dynamo a is excited by a dynamo, the armature m of which is driven by a three-phase motor z. The main motor b is controlled by regulating the field winding n of the exciting-machine, a rheostat provided for this purpose being actuated by a hand-lever l or automatically by the depth indicator nuts r, r<1>. The auxiliary resistance k is put into the circuit of the field winding n automaticany, and the period of the wind at which this resistance is put into circuit is dependent on the load on the hoisting-motor b. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a catch arm p is under the control of a solenoid having one winding h, coupled to one of the leads connecting the dynamo a and motor b, and the other winding i connected across the motor armature. The catch p is thus thrust forward when there is a negative load on the motor b and is withdrawn as the load decreases or becomes positive. A stepped block o, raised towards either end of the wind by the rising nut r of the depth indicator, engages and raises the catch p, thus putting the auxiliary resistance k in circuit. After the whole of the resistance k has been put in circuit continued movement of the switch arm partly cuts it out. The resistance k is normally short-circuited through switches u, v and w, x, but when the cage is approaching the end of the wind, the rising nut r operates the switch arm s, and opens the short-circuit. When the cage has reached the bank and the switch lever l. is thrown over for the next wind, the shortcircuit is again completed at the contact w or x. In another form of the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the stepped block k is mounted on an arm 4, which is carried along by a second arm 3 when this is moved by the depth-indicator nuts r. So long as the arms 3, 4 move together, none of the resistance coils k are in circuit, but when the arms separate owing to the arrest of the stepped block y by the solenoid-controlled catch, the resistance k is gradually put in. In a third form, the winding n is regulated by a bridge system of connexions, the rheostat arms being operated respectively by a hand-lever and by the depth indicator.

Title: Electric Annunciator for Electric Bells and the like.
Inventor: MYLO HUBERT
IPC: G08B5/24
Filed: 1913-05-13
Granted: 1914-05-13
Abstract: 11,191. Mylo, H. May 13. Indicators or annunciators; order-type apparatus.-Apparatus for indicating the number of a room from which an electric bell has been rung comprises a set of ten numbered disks c to indicate units, and a similar set of ten disks for each other order of digits. Each of the disks c can be exhibited through a window when raised by a lever b pivoted at a to which it is attached. Each lever b carries a suspended armature d controlled by an electro-magnet c and working between stops l. The disks are retained in the signalling position by projections f which engage hooks g<1> on light levers g, which are pivoted at h, and are controlled by a spring k coupling the levers g. The disks are released whenever the armatures on the upper arms of the levers g are attracted by the electro-magnet i, which is energized simultaneously with the magnets c. It may also be energized by means of an independent switch. To provide against the simultaneous elevation of two disks c of the same order of digits, the projections f and g<1> are arranged to slide over one another with a cam action, the spring k being strong enough to support one disk on each side, but not more. Each press-button for nctuating the indicator is arranged to close a circuit through the proper electro-magnet - e associated with a unit and that associated with a tens digit, in series. The apparatus may be adapted to indicate numbers of three or four digits. In a modification, the levers g are arranged to be normally forced apart, but are attracted so as to hold up the disks c when the magnet i is energized, a timing-device being provided to maintain the levers g in the operative position for a short period..
