Title: New and Useful Improvements in Station Indicators for Trains or Street Railway Cars
Inventor: IPSON GEORGE
Filed: 1908-06-13
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 12,748. Ipson, G. June 13. Indicators, station, stopping place, and like.- A station indicator comprises rolls 9,10 of canvas which are marked with the names of stations and any advertising matter, and are adapted to be drawn past windows 6 at the opposite ends of a casing which may be carried from the roof of a car. The rolls are simultaneously wound on and off two pairs of drums by the pulling of a cord, and at the same time a bell rings and calls attention to the change of indication. The roll 9 passes over drums 11, 15 and guide - rollers, and the roll 10 passes over corresponding drums 16, 17 and guide-rollers, the drums 15, 17 and 11, 16 being mounted on shafts carrying grooved rollers on which are tension cords 55, 56. Sprocket-chains pass over wheels 34, 35 carried on a shaft 28, and over wheels 52, 53 on opposite ends of the rollers 15, 11. The wheels 34, 35 carry pawls 31, 32 engaging ratchet-wheels 29, 30 integral with sprocket-wheels 26, 27. Chains 24, 25 pass over these wheels and are connected at one end by coil springs to a partition 23 in the lower part of the casing, and at the other end to cords which pass over guide pulleys and rollers through the bottom of the casing and have snap-hooks on their ends adapted to engage an eye 47 on a cord the pulling of which changes the indication. Each of the pawls 31, 32 has a lateral projection whereby it may be moved out of engagement with its ratchet. A roller 59 having several milled surfaces 60 is journaled near one of the upper corners of the casing, and a roller;61 is press ed down by springs so as to bear on it. A roller 64 is arranged at one end of the shaft of the roller 59, and carries on its face an arc-shaped plate 66 which makes contact once during each revolution with a pair of spriings 68 and thus completes a circuit through an electrc bell. The current may be derived from a battery on the partition 23. The roll 10 passes between the rollers 59, 61, giving motion to the former.

Abstract: 27,766. Hepworth, C. M. Dec. 21. Kinematographs.-In a means for maintaining synchronism between a kinematograph and a gramophone, two pawls D, I are arranged to receive reciprocating motion through electro-magnets G, L from the kinematograph and the gramophone respectively, and a ratchet - wheel B is operated by the reciprocating members in such a way that-it does not receive a linear movement until synchronism is disturbed. Fig. 1 is an elevation of the indicating-part of the apparatus and Fig. 8 is a plan view of the whole apparatus. The spindle B<1> of the ratchet-wheel rests between the parallel bars A<3>, and, when synchronism is disturbed, one pawl rotates the wheel more quickly than the other, so that the pointer M, which is connected to the spindle B<1>, turns to one side or the other and brings one of the differently coloured disks M<1>, M<2> in front of a source of light, thus indicating to the operator which machine is going relatively too fast. In a modified form, the pointer M may automatically control the relative speeds of the kinematograph and the gramophone. Gearing, shown in Fig. 5, for operating the electric contact - making device is combined with the gramophone and comprises a train of wheels one end P<2> of which is carried to the main spindle of the gramophone and the other end of the train P<3> is geared to the contact-making device N.
