Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 9147. Forcade, E. M. April 18. Synchronizing phonographs with automata.-A speaking automaton has the movements of its parts synchronized with a phonograph by controlling them both by the same jacquard-band and system of wires, levers, and pulleys, some of the wires passing through the centre of some of the pulleys. The actuating-shaft 49 drives two worms 56, 57, which are extensions of two worms 58, 59 of contrary direction to each other. Two guides 60 are arranged parallel to these worms, supporting a carriage 61, carrying a pivoted beam 62 with a spring comb 63, 64 at either end. As long as the comb 64 engages a groove in the worm 59, the arm 65 is raised and so therefore is the acoustic tube 68. A cam on the jacquard-band acts on the lever 74 through a lever and wire so as to place the needle in position when sounds are to be produced. Each complete rotation of the record plates may correspond to a displacement of the jacquard through a distance equal to that between successive rows of actuating cams.

Title: Improvements in Telephone Call Recorders.
Inventor: MCGAURAN DUNCAN JAMES
IPC: H04M15/30
Filed: 1913-08-25
Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 19,220. McGauran, D. J. Aug. 25. Meters and Metering systems. - Relates to metering systems arranged so that, if a subscriber answers a call after a delay of a certain duration, the call is registered against him. Similar apparatus may also be placed at the exchange to check the promptness of the operator. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the dials 13 register outgoing calls plus those incoming calls which are not answered promptly. In that shown in Fig. 2, the dials 32 register incoming calls only, while the dials 13 register both incoming and outgoing calls, incoming calls which are answered hut not promptly being reckoned twice over. The calls to be paid for are in this case found by subtraction. When the switch-hook 2, Fig. 1, is raised to call the exchange, a "fleeting contact" is made at 3, 4 (for which purpose two suitable contact devices are described) so as to energize the magnet S and actuate the pallet 11 of the recording - mechanism, the circuit being completed through the frame F and the upper arm of the lever 28 to the contact 7. After an incoming call, however, this circuit is broken at 7 so that the call is unregistered provided the switch-hook is raised within a certain interval for the exchange current in the wires 19 energizes the magnet E which has an armature mounted on a rocking lever 21 so that contact is made at 24 and the circuit of the magnet X is closed (provided that this latter circuit is not being broken at 1 or that the magnet E is not being short - circuited by the actuation of a magneto ringing apparatus). The armature 8, having been thus attracted to break the recording-circuit at 7, is held in that position by the lower end 30 of the lever 28, which end, being lifted out of a notch 29 in a wheel of the timing- device T, remains lifted until the wheel has revolved to bring another notch into position for engagement. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the circuit of the magnet S is closed at 34 on raising the switch-hook 2, so that this act records a call unless the recording circuit is already closed at 35 in consequence of an incoming call from the exchange; the effect of such incoming call being to tilt the lever 28 clockwise for a definite period in the manner already described. The subscriber's instrument is short-circuited at 36, 40 if the apparatus is not recording properly, i.e. if the lever 40 is not duly deflected by the action of the magnet S. A third arrangement is described in which the dials 13 are mechanically operated by raising the switch lever, unless the ratchet mechanism provided for this purpose is being held out of gear by the time-mechanism T in consequence of the recent energization of the magnet X by a call from the exchange.

Filed: 1913-09-08
Granted: 1914-09-08
Abstract: 20,242. West, C. U. F. Sept. 8. Abdominal belts. - Instead of employing elastic webbing, the greater part of the length of the belt is made up of a large number of narrow closely-adjacent strips of rubber, which, as regards pressure on the body, form practically a continuous surface, while allowing independent stretching of each strip and permitting ventilation. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the belt is almost wholly composed of rubber strips or cords 1, which are moulded or otherwise fixed into end-pieces 2 provided with a series of strap- and-buckle or other suitable fastenings. The strips may be united at intervals by cross bands 3. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the belt is made up of cloth or like sections 4, 5, 6, &c. joined by elastic sections 8, 9, &c. The intermediate cloth sections 5, 6 may be provided with lacing 11, to permit adjustment &c. In this form, the rubber strips are shown as endless loops, which are attached by sewing to the cloth sections. Alternatively, they may be detachably engaged with hooks secured to the cloth; or the hooks may be attached to a foundation strip detachably secured to the cloth by spring or other fastenings.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Loading Firearms.
Inventor: STAMM HANS
IPC: F41A25/10
Filed: 1913-09-19
Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 21,207. Stamm, H. Feb. 8, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breech-block. -Relates to automatic guns of the long barrelrecoil type, and consists mainly in unlocking the rotary breech -bolt in two stages, firstly by the continued recoil of the operating - sleeve after the barrel and bolt have been brought to rest, and then by the forward movement of the barrel and bolt, the sleeve being retained by a spring catch. The invention also comprises means for adjusting for automatic or non-automatic use, a special ejector, and a special arrangement of the recoil and buffer springs. The breech-bolt 17, Fig. 1, is rotated by means of a non-rotary sleeve 14. After the recoil of the barrel is stopped, this sleeve continues its rearward movement for a short distance, thus partly rotating the breechbolt. All three parts, barrel, bolt, and sleeve, are then moved forward by the recoil springs until the sleeve is engaged by a catch 43. The bolt is then pulled out of the sleeve and completely unlocked from the barrel, which then moves forward alone. The catch 43 is released when the barrel approaches the forward position. The recoil springs 4, 5, Figs. 1 and 1<a>, for the bolt and barrel respectively, and the barrel buffer spring 9 are all guided on a tube 61 arranged beneath the barrel, which has a projection 7 for engaging the barrel spring 5, a second projection 6 for engaging the bolt spring 4 when the gun is adjusted for single loading, and a third projection 11 for engaging the buffer, which comprises a sleeve 10 and a spring 9. The bolt spring 4. acts at the front against a slide 36, to which the operating-sleeve is normally connected by a projection 35, Fig. 2, on the handle 16. The handle slides on an arm 15 fixed to the operating-sleeve, and can be moved outwards to disengage the projection 35 from the slide 36. The ejector comprises an arm 98, Fig. 2, pivoted in a recess in the breech shoe 1, and a spring 79 fixed to the outer casing, the two parts being opposite one another only when the breech shoe is in the forward position. A safety flap 27, Figs. 2 and 3, is adapted to be turned up and cover the slot in which the handle works. When in this raised position, it locks the handle 16, and also engages a projection 26, Fig. 2, on the firing-pin by one or other of its projections 28, 29.
