Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Regulators for Electric Circuits.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: G05F1/32
Filed: 1911-03-04
Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 5490. Lake, W. E., [United States Light and Heating Co.]. March 4. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.- The operating winding of a variable-pressure regulator is controlled by a vibrating short-circuiting device, while a resistance is placed in series with the operating winding and the short-circuiting device to avoid short-circuiting the main circuit when the winding is cut out. A second coil may be placed on the core of the vibrating relay to aid its action, and the operating winding of the regulator may be energized by a separate source. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a variablepressure rheostat 1 is placed in the lead 7, and the pressure upon it is controlled by means of a bell-crank lever 11, spring 13, and solenoid 2, the core 12 of which is attached to the lever 11. The energization of the solenoid 2 is controlled by a voltage relay 5, which causes the spring 3 to vibrate and thereby periodically short-circuit and energize the solenoid 2 to vary the resistance 1. A resistance 4 is placed between the lead 7 and one of the common connexions of the solenoid 2 and shortcircuiting device 3 to prevent the leads 6, 7 from being short-circuited when the solenoid 2 is de-energized. In a modification shown in Fig. 2, the short-circuiting device is provided with an additional winding 16 which assists the coil 5 to attract its armature, after which it is open-circuited. In another modification, the winding 16 is in series with the winding 2 and is normally short-circuited, but when this shortcircuit is removed it opposes the winding 5. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 4, the additional winding 16 assists the winding 5, and after the relay has operated, its action is decreased by placing it in series with the winding 2,

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Making Paper Bags, or otherwise Folding or Forming Paper, Cardboard or the like.
Inventor: MOLINS WALTER EVERETT
IPC: B31B1/74
Filed: 1911-06-17
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 14,429. Molins, W. E. June 17. Paper bags, making.-Relates to machines for making paper bags, or otherwise folding paper or cardboard, in which the paper is forced into dies or equivalent devices by means of a plunger. The invention consists in providing means by which the movement of the plunger is automatically checked if too great a thickness of material, say two sheets, be fed to the machine. In the machine for making paper bags, shown in Fig. 1, the plung e r f which presses the paper through a slot x in the table is reciprocated by a cam c, e<1>, which is partly closed. For the greater part of the stroke, a pin i, connected with the plunger, is kept in contact with the part e of the cam by the weight of the plunger, and only when the latter has commenced to force the paper through the slot x does the pin i engage beneath the part e<1> of the cam so that positive pressure is applied to the plunger. Should too great a thickness of paper be presented, the plunger will not descend far enough for the pin i to he engaged by the part e<1> of the cam, and the paper will not be forced through the machine.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cash Tills.
Inventor: DENTON GEORGE RICHARD
Filed: 1911-09-30
Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 21,573. Denton, G. R. Sept. 30. Tills; coins, testing.-The cash till described in Specification 863/08 is provided with modified means for operating and controlling the sprocket - wheels, and with a mechanism for feeding coins to the shelves and ejecting bent or thick coins. Above the sprocket-wheels 2 of the shelf-carrying chains is a hopper formed of an inclined plate 5 and a hinged vertical glass plate 6, the hopper being divided to take different classes of coins by partitions 58. Across the top is a plate 7 having coin slots 8, which may be provided with flared mouths 8<a>. A ribbed rubber covered roller 9 extends into the throat of the hopper and is rotated to separate coins in face-contact as they pass to the throat, the side members 6, 16 of which are spaced by pieces 58. A stepped inclined plate 59 leads coins to the throat and helps to separate those in face-contact, a plate 60 preventing the coins falling direct and a curved baffle directing them horizontally to the throat. The shaft of the roller 9 carries a pinion 11 gearing with a pinion 12 loose on a shaft 13 which carries an operating ratchet 14 and a pin 26 working in a helical slot 27 in a sleeve 28 on the shaft 13. The sleeve carries arms 29, 30, the former carrying a slotted spring-held piece 31, in which works a pin 64 attached to a slide 62 having apertures normally registering with those in the plate 7, but closing those apertures when the sleeve is moved. To the slide 62 is pivoted a curved coin directing and scraping piece 67. A pivoted yoke 22 carries a sleeve 34 with a handle 36 normally resting on a plate 38, the sleeve, when moved to the left, being arrested by a hook 39. The handle may then be depressed to depress a weighted pawl 43 causing it to leave one of four studs 21 on a sprocket 2 and then contact with the next. On allowing the spring 24 to return the yoke, the sprockets are advanced and the shelves moved. Simultaneously, a lever 20 is moved by a stud 21 to turn a plate 18 on its pivot. At the other end an arm 47 actuates two sliding stops 45, which alternately act to contact with studs 21 to prevent overrunning. A projection 37 on the sleeve 34 actuates the arm 30 to turn the pin 26 in the slot 27 to actuate the roller 9. Further, as the studs 21 turn, one of them raises a lever 51 pivoted on an arm 49 attached to the plate 6. This plate is thereby moved out to widen the throat, the thick or bent coins then dropping and being deflected by the plate 18, which is held in its inclined position by an angle-piece 57, and thrown out of the machine. On return of the handle, a pawl 54 is raised to reset the arm 51. The sorting-apparatus described in Specification 9030/09 may be combined with the displayer. A somewhat modified construction is described in the Provisional Specification.

Filed: 1911-11-29
Granted: 1912-11-29
Abstract: 26,764. Hale, F. M. Nov. 29. Grenades; projectile fuses.-Relates to projectiles provided with a tail rod fitting within the barrel of the gun as described in Specifications 15,045/08, 4925/11, and 21,792/11, and to grenades, and consists mainly in arming the percussion fuse of such a projectile or grenade by a fan disposed at the base. As shown in Fig. 1, the fan 11 has a hub 10 screwed on a fixed part 5. When the projectile is discharged the fan rotates and screws itself back, thus releasing the radial locking-bolts 9 of the percussion pellet 2. A plain part 13 of reduced diameter allows the fan to rotate freely after it has unscrewed itself. In other forms, as shown in Figs. 8 and 11, the pellet is constituted by the detonator charge 1 which, in the safe position, cannot, if accidentally exploded, transmit the explosion to the projectile charge, and the rebound of which on impact is prevented by a spring 29; also the fan locks the pellet by being screwed directly on it as in Fig. 8. The air is guided towards the fan 11 by a casing 15, Fig. 1, or by rounding the base 6, Fig. 8. of the projectile and making the fan with a ring 24; and when the projectile is' intended to be thrown by hand the fan is adapted to rotate more slowly in relation to time, but to the same extent in relation to distance traversed, for example by the addition of an auxiliary fan 27, Fig. 8. The fan may be held in the safe position by a split pin 18, Fig. 1, intended to be removed by hand, or by a ring 25, Fig. 8, which sets back on discharge, or by any of the means described in the beforementioned Specifications for locking the percussion pellet.
