Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 24,662. Evans, W. J. Oct. 24. Adding and subtracting apparatus.-An instrument for use in ascertaining the number of days between any two dates &c. comprises a fixed disk d, graduated to show days of the month and of the year, a toothed wheel h, and a pointer o, the wheel and pointer being rotatable either relatively or together. In using the apparatus, the pointer is moved to the first of the two dates, as shown on one of the scales on the disk d, and is then caused to engage the wheel h by depressing the hinged toothed portion q. On rotating the pointer to the second of the dates, the number of days intervening is shown on the second scale by an index j attached to the wheel h. The pointer is provided with an eccentric t, by turning which it may be held stationary. The toothed wheel, when released, is returned to zero by a spring k. In modifications, the result is shown by counting-wheels driven from the wheel h. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the toothed wheel is arranged around the fixed disk d, and carries the scale of days of the year, the index j<1> being fixed to the disk d.

Resistance ovens. - An oven has several heaters one of which is controlled by two thermostats, one inside and the outer outside the oven, arranged so that the circuit through the heater is not completed until the circuits of both thermostats are closed; the other heaters are controlled by the inside thermostat. As shown in Fig. 13, each of three heaters 34, 35, 36 may be connected by hand switches either in series with the thermostat 50, or directly between the mains. The other heater 33 is connected by means of a hand switch 100 either in series with both thermostats 115, 50 or in series with the inside thermostat 50 alone, or directly across the mains. The inside thermostat consists of a thin perforated brass tube 60, Fig. 6, connected with an arm 50 pivoted to a support 54. The arm carries a contact 52 engaging with a contact on an adjustable arm 51, which is secured to a U - shaped hanger 64 pivoted to supports 66.

Title: Improved Means for Transmitting Rotary Motion.

Granted: 1912-12-11
Abstract: 27,840. Jandus Arc Lamp and Electric Co., and Jones, A. D. Dec. 11. Levers and rods, locking.-A locking or jamming device connected to a rotary member, such as the barrel of a winch, allows the rotary member to be driven in either direction at will, but prevents unintentional backward movement, and also prevents movement in either direction when the driving-means is inoperative. The locking-member comprises a disk or the like d mounted in a peripheral bearing c<1> in a stationary casing c, and is connected by a link f to the rotary member, such as a winch barrel a mounted on a stud b carried by the casing c. The link f is pivotally connected to diametrically opposite parts e and g of the locking disk and rotary member respectively and has a central clearance at f<1> to allow freedom of movement. The link connexion causes the disk d to jam within its bearing unless it is rotated simultaneously with the rotary member a. The driving-means comprises a detachable crank lever k with a pivot stud l adapted to engage the hollow stud b, and also formed with a driving-stud m adapted to engage corresponding slots and holes such as i, j in the disk and rotary member respectively, whereby these members may be driven simultaneously in one direction, but the slot i, allowing relative lost motion, prevents rotation in the opposite direction. A second slot and hole in the respective parts may be arranged to enable the rotary member to be driven in the opposite direction. In the application to a winch, the second hole and slot may be dispensed with, the pull of the rope o with a following movement of the locking disk controlled by the crank levers k, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, serving to effect the unwinding operation. The driving-pin m may engage lugs or projections on the inner member instead of a hole or slot therein.

Abstract: 28,194. Ommundsen, H., Newitt, E. J. D., Hollick, S. R., and Ottway, W. Dec. 14. [Cognate Application, 16,417/12.] [Addition to 8038/11.] Sights.-Consists in means for facilitating aiming at a point a fixed distance below the base of the target in accordance with the method of sighting described in the parent Specification, the said means comprising pairs of cross-wires or marks, movable in a plane transverse to the line of sight, between one pair of which wires or marks the target is callipered, while the distances between the other pairs are simultaneously adjusted in a corresponding degree. A cross-section of one construction is shown in Fig. 2, applied to a sighting-telescope. Four cross-wires A, B, B<1>, B<2> are arranged in the focal plane of the telescope; of these, the wire A is fixed, but the wires B, B<1>, and B<2> are carried respectively by adjustable members C<2>, C<1>, C, which are connected at F, F<1>, F<2> to an arm E pivoted at E<1>. The arm is pressed downwards by a screw G against the pressure of a spring K, so that the spacing between the pairs of cross-wires is varied without altering the ratio between the spaces. A scale is thus obtained which enables the line of sight to be depressed by the desired amount. The means for adjusting the distances between the wires or marks may be varied, and used in sighting-telescopes or otherwise.

Abstract: 4389. Aerschot, J. van. Feb. 21. Lateral-splash guards. -In a lateral-splash guard for automobiles and motor-cycles, the screen or brush A is mounted upon a fork C which is capable of vertical adjustment in relation to the wheel axle and is mounted upon an horizontal pivot in a plane parallel to that of the wheel, so that the screen or brush may be raised from the ground. As shown in Fig. 2, the fork is mounted upon a rod E pivoted to a member D which is carried by the wheel axle or the spring thereon. The fork is pressed towards the bottom of the rod by a spring J, and its height is adjusted by a ring or nut. A spring G acts upon the pivot and allows the fork to be lifted up for the cleaning and removal of the wheel. The mud-guard proper is preferably formed as a brush of laminµ of sheet steel or copper or of whalebone or other rigid substance disposed in rows and in different positions. In a modification, the fork is suspended by tension springs from a bow-shaped frame pivoted upon the end of the axle, the guard being held in operative position, in a turned-out position, or in a turned-up position above the axle, by the springs causing a stop to bear against the faces of the square pivot socket.
