Title: An Apparatus for Recording and Checking the Running of Vehicles.
Inventor: BEAUDINET ADOLPHE
IPC: G07C5/06
Filed: 1912-11-19
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 26,525. Beaudinet, A. Aug. 24, [Convention date]. Recording by distinctive marks; disk - apparatus; recording time of working of machines.- In apparatus of the type in which a vehiclereciprocated pencil is moved into various zones on a clock-driven record-disk, the disk 31 is clamped to a plate 6 mounted in a sleeve 14 upon which is carried a vehicle or machine driven worm-wheel 16 provided with an eccentric hub 15. A plate 23 formed with an opening 22 is adapted to be reciprocated by the hub 15 between guides 24 formed in a plate 25, which is itself capable of sliding in guides 26. Movement of two kinds is imparted to the plate 25, to which is attached the recording-point, namely a reciprocating movement derived from the plate 23, and a movement into the different zones produced by rotation of a disk 46. A pin 45 on the disk 46 engages a notched plate 43 attached to a rod 35 which passes through a swivelling pin 36 mounted in jaws 37 of a lever 32 pivoted on the hub 14. Two springs 39, 38 are carried by the rod 35, the spring 39 being in compression in the position shown in Fig. 1 and tending to press the plate 25 into engagement with the lower surface of the plate 23 through a fork 33 on the lever and a pin 34 on the plate, thus producing a record in one of the zones. On turning the disk 46 through 180 degrees the spring 38 is compressed and the plate 25 is moved so that the recording-point passes into another zone and is acted upon to produce the undulating record by the other edge of the plate 23. An intermediate record between these two is made when the disk is turned into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 to permit the case to be opened. Movement into this position brings a notch 50 opposite a slide 52 and allows this to be moved to expose a padlock. The recording-point is carried by an arm 28 which is secured to a bracket 27 attached to the plate 25, a guard 30 being provided to prevent access to the arm 28. A spring mounting for the casing comprises three helical springs secured to lugs on the casing and to a panel of the vehicle, and leaf springs placed between the casing and the panel.

Title: Improvements in Arc Lamps.
Inventor: MOUL HERBERT EDMUND
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1913-05-20
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 11,704. Moul, H. E., [Korting & Mathisen Akt.-Ges.]. May 20. Arc lamps.-In a search-light or other lamp, an electric or other motor runs continuously in one direction and is coupled to regulating-mechanism by means of electrical devices such as electromagnetic clutches in relay circuits controlled in accordance with the electric condition of the arc, so as to produce prompt feeding or separation of the carbons. The clutches 45, 55, Fig. 5, may be arranged between a shaft 3, driven by the motor through worm gearing, and two shafts 10, 11 geared oppositely to a right and left handed feedscrew 17. In another arrangement, the clutches are on the feed-screw and couple it to bevel-wheels which are loose on the screw and are driven by a single bevel-pinion. Fig. 2 shows the armature and a shunt field coil of the motor 1 connected in shunt to the lamp, while a second field coil 25 is in shunt to a resistance 24 in series with the lamp. A relay magnet has a shunt.coil 33 and an opposing coil 32 in parallel with the series resistance 24. The armature of the relay magnet is connected to a point between the resistance and electrodes, and can touch either of two contacts to place one clutch magnet 27 in shunt to the arc or the other clutch magnet 28 in shunt to the series resistance 24. If a current generator with a dropping characteristic is used, the motor must have considerable momentum in order to separate the electrodes at starting, when the main current is large and the shunt current through the motor armature is small. A switch 57 in the circuit of the motor armature and of the shunt coil of the relay magnet may be used for extinguishing the lamp by widely separating the electrodes. The electro-magnetic clutches may be of ordinary form and provided with slip rings. Fig. 4 shows a clutch without slip rings, the conductors being passed through a hollow stationary shaft 34 which carries the magnet coil and is surrounded by one element of the clutch. Each of the clutches shown in Fig. 5 consists of a rotary casing containing a differential pinion 41 gearing with wheels 42 on the shafts 3, 10 or 3, 11. Coupling is effected by an electro-magnetic detent 47 acting on the rotary casing.
