Abstract: 26,682. Dronsfield, J, Nov. 29. Driving - devices. - Reversing-gearing for grinding- machines comprises a screw shaft a, Fig. 1, which is to be driven alternately in opposite directions. The driving-element is a continuouslyrotating chain-driven wheel c having internal teeth meshing with a gear f<1>. A gear h adapted to turn with the gear f<1> meshes with a gear b fast on the shaft a. The gears h, f<1> turn loosely along with a ratchet-like toothed wheel f on a spindle e, which is carried by a loose rotatable plate e<1>. A control-plate g, which can turn to a limited extent relatively to the plate e<1>, is normallv held by a spring m, Fig. 2, in such a position that a tooth g<1> upon it engages the teeth of the wheel f. The gearing then turns solid for forward driving. Reversal results when a rod k, Fig. 1, is slid so as to engage a stop i on the plate g. The plate g stops, and the plate e<1> turns sufficiently to free the wheel f and then stops also. The gears f<1>, h then turning on a fixed spin dle e drive the shaft a i e versely.

Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 4219. Koch, H. Feb. 20. Stop-motions, warp.- A warp stop - motion comprises a series of plates 9, Fig. 3, provided with teeth 9<1> and fixed on rods 7, and a series of plates 17 pivotally mounted on a reciprocating carriage 12. A current of air, issuing from a nozzle at the end of a tube 40 oscillating transversely to the warp, blows a broken warp thread down on to wires 4 passing through the teeth 9<1>, and it is caught between one of the fixed plates 9 and a moving plate 17. The plate 17 is tilted, and a double-armed lever 18 connected to it raises a wire 19 and moves a lever 21, to slacken a cord 28 and allow a lever 26 to assume the position shown in dotted lines. A tongue 30 is moved into position to be acted on by an abutment 32 on the lay, and the loom is knocked off, a catch 34 holding the tongue 30 in position. The admission of air from a supplypipe 37 to the tube 40 is controlled by a valve having a spindle 51, Fig. 5, resting on a weighted lever 53 connected to a lever 56, one arm of which presses against the belt fork 36, so that the movement of the belt fork opens the valve or allows it to close. The tube 40 is oscillated from a shaft 43, on which is a yielding coupling consisting of a spring 47, Fig. 6, and a member 45 provided with pins engaging depressions in a member 46.

Abstract: 4910. Ballu, T. L. Feb. 28,1911, [Convention date]. Harvesting - machines.-In safety apparatus for throwing the working parts of harvesters and other agricultural machines into and out of gear, of the kind in which the clutch members are normally pressed apart by a spring but are forced into contact by the weight of the'driver on the seat or by the pressure of his foot on the foot-rest, the clutch spring is connected to the seat or footrest by a flexible connexion passing around a guide-pulley, and mechanism is provided for disengaging the clutch members at will by allowing the pulley to slide forward. The spring may be inserted between the clutch members a, b, but in the arrangement shown it acts on the clutch fork d and surrounds the sliding rod f to which the fork is attached. A chain g connects the rod f to the footrest i, which is combined with the seat standard and pivoted on a pin k. The foot-rest is weighted to balance the seat, and a stop l is provided to limit their movements. The chain passes around a guidepulley h held in position in a slide n by a bent part p of a rod o. The clutch may be disengaged by the driver while on his seat by turning the rod o and thus allowing the pulley h to move forward. It is automatically diseugaged when the driver leaves his seat, or when the chain g breaks. In a modification, the seat is fixed and a hinged foot-rest is connected with the chain by a rod and a bell-crank lever. The Specification as open to inspection under section 91 (3) (a) states also that the rod o and pulley'k h may be dispensed with when the foot-rest is formed as a pedal ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 1071. Hearson, H. R. Jan. 14. Sights.-Consists in protecting an aperture backsight by one or two apertured screens separated from the sighting - plate by an intervening space. In the construction shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the sight-plate a, pierced with a number of apertures a<1> ... a<6>, is mounted within a hood A on a screwed stem b. On each side of the plate a is a screen e or f having a single large aperture e<o> or f<o> which can be made to register with one of the sighting-apertures. Each screen consists of a metal tape wound on two drums e<1> or f<1> carried by the hood A, and drums e<2> or f<2> mounted on the fixed base. The lower drums are spring- controlled, so that, as the sight is elevated, the tapes are unwound and the apertures e<o>, f<o> remain in register with the lowest sighting- aperture a<1>. After the sight has been fully elevated, the apertures e<o>, f<o> can be brought into register with any of the sighting-apertures by rotating the drums e<1>, f<1> by means of the spur-wheels e<4>, f<4>, Fig. 3, and segment k. A sliding plate o having one or more apertures, can be raised above the top of the hood for extreme ranges. The sight is elevated by a nut d which screws on to the stem b and into a base piece c, the internal and external threads being of contrary pitch. The nut is rotated by a knurled disk d<1> keyed thereto. A clicking indicator is provided consisting of a spring stud g<1>, Fig. 8, carried by a fixed side plate g and adapted to engage recesses in the hood A. Fine adjustment at the longer ranges is provided for by mounting this stud eccentrically on a rotary disk, which can be adjusted with reference to a scale. The whole sight is moved laterally for windage adjustment, a spring stud being provided as a clicking indicator. The Provisional Specification also describes a modification in which the sight comprises a tubular eyepiece converging to the centre, where the apertured sighting-plate is mounted, and so arranged that, however adjusted, its axis always intersects the foresight..

Title: Improvements in Impulse Control Systems for Automatic Telephone Exchanges.
IPC: H01Q1/32
Filed: 1914-02-09
Granted: 1914-12-31
Abstract: 3360. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T., acting for Western Electric Co.]. Feb. 9. Automatic exchange systems. - Relates to means for controlling the movement of a powerdriven switch by number impulses. The controlling - impulses complete a circuit for the clutch magnet of the switch over the windings of a differential relay, and when the switch responds, this relay opens the circuit of the clutch magnet. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the switch to be actuated has a clutch magnet 13, and controls contact-springs 14, 15. The contact of the spring 14 is open when the switch stands in its stopping positions, but is closed during the movement from one position to the next; the contact 15 is closed in the stopping positions and open during movement. The number impulses produced by the key 11 actuate the relay 12, thus completing a circuit for both windings of the relay 16 and for the clutch magnet 13. The spring contact 14 ensures a complete step of the switch, and the contact 15 opens the circuit of the winding 18, thus causing the other winding 17 to energize the relay. The circuit of the clutch magnet is thus held open at the contact of the relay until the armature of the relay 12 drops back. Fig. 2 shows a form in which a register-controller switch having a clutch magnet 13<1> is restored to normal by impulses produced by the movement of the selector switch 26. The springs 22, 23, 24 are controlled by a sequence switch, and during the movement of this switch from its second to its sixth position, the contact 22 is closed, thus energizing the relay 16<1> and opening the circuit of the clutch magnet. When the sixth position is reached, and the starting- circuit of the selector is closed, the relays 27, 12' are energized. The relay 27 starts the movement of the selector switch, and the relay 12<1> opens the circuit of the relay 16<1>. The switch 26 at each step short-circuits the relay 12<1>, and this relay, when de-energized, closes a circuit for the clutch magnet 13<1> and both windings of the relay 16<1>. The springs 14<1>, 15<1> close their contacts at the same time as the similar springs shown in Fig. 1, so that each movement of the switch opens the circuit of the winding 18<1>, and causes the energization of the differential relay 16<1>, thus opening the circuit of the clutch magnet. The controller 13' is thus moved step by step by the impulses produced by the switch 26, and is arranged to stop the switch when the normal position is reached. Specification 5653/13 is referred to.
