Patent GB-191016333-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in "A Central Energy Electrical Signalling System."
Inventor: GOLDSTEIN ALBERT
IPC: G08B29/16
Filed: 1910-07-08
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 16,333. Goldstein, A. July 8. Cut-out arrangements; thermal switches.-In signalling systems in which a number of stations T, T', T<2> are arranged in series in loops I, II, III on a closed circuit which passes through a central station, means are provided whereby, on the occurrence of a ground on one of the loops, this loop is cut out of the normal closed circuit by means of a thermostatically-operated contact. The normal closed circuit passes from the generator A at the central station through the magnet D, one winding of the magnet F, lead 37, contacts 11, 12 on switch u<1>, lead 39, contact 27, loop I, and lead 40 to switch u<2>, thence through loops II, III to lead 42, switch u<4>, lead 43, second winding of magnet F, contacts 7, 4, and magnet B. When a ground occurs in a loop, as at Z in the loop I, the relay F becomes unbalanced and closes the contact 3. The magnet H is energized, and a continuous current is passed to the heat coil 35 of the thermostat S. The thermostat contact 36 brings the magnet U into circuit, thus breaking the switch contacts 11 ... 20 and making contacts 21 ... 24. The contacts 21 ... 24 now serve to short - circuit each of the loops I, II, III, and two circuits to the ground at Z are completed, one through the magnets D, F, leads 37, 57, and heat coil 25 of the thermostat S', and the other through the magnet E, contacts 10, 8, second winding of magnet F, lead 65, contacts 23, 21, lead 59, heat coil 26, and transmitter T. The action of the thermostat S<1> is to break the contacts 27, 28, 29, 30 and to make contacts at 31, 32, 33. The loop I is thereby cut off from the leads connecting with the magnets D, E. The removal of the ground at Z from the main circuit causes the magnet F to become de - energized, and thereby de-energizes the magnets H, U. The normal circuit is now re-established, except that the loop I is cut out, its place being taken by a connexion from the lead 37 through the lead 57, contact 33, leads 59, 58, and contacts 14, 15. When the magnet H is de-energized on the occasion of a ground in one of the loops, the magnet B becomes de-energized, and the contact 4 in the normal circuit is broken. When normal conditions are again established, the current circuit returns by lead 44, through contact 5, lead 49, magnet J, lead 50, contact 9, lead 52, and contact 6, back to the generator. The armature j of the relay J closes contact at 54 and completes a circuit through magnets E, B. The magnet B attracts its armature, and the normal circuit is re-established.

Granted: 1911-07-26
Abstract: 17,666. Homans, T. S. Jan. 7, [Convention date]. Moulds for type-bar making machines are of variable length and width, one end wall of the mould being retractable to permit the use of an ejector of the maximum width. The mould comprises a body part A, Fig. 2, and a relatively movable frame C in which is mounted to slide a mould cap D. The mould slot E is formed by the cap D and body part A, and is closed at one end by a block c attached to the frame C, and at the other end by a projecting toe f on a retractable spring-pressed block F carried by the cap D. The frame C is moved to vary the width of the mould-slot by a nut c<1>, Fig. 9, attached thereto and engaged by a screwed sleeve a<4> having at one end a bevelpinion which can gear with a pinion a<8> on a shaft h, Fig. 1. The pinions are moved into gear when the mould moves forward in the known manner, for example, to engage the matrix line as described in Specification 14,582 / 90. The shaft h is rotated by a hand-lever H moving over an index-plate having locking- pins which are engaged by a notched plate on the hand-lever. The length of the mould is varied by moving the cap D longitudinally by means of a rack and a pinion operated by a key. A detent-rack and a tooth are provided to hold the cap in adjusted position. The mould is rotated to and from the ejecting - position by a crank I and a link J, Fig. 2. As the mould moves into the ejecting- position, the block F is retracted by a lever and a fixed cam d<21>, whereby the toe f is withdrawn from the mouldslot to permit the passage of the ejector. In addition to the usual pins a<9>, a<10> for alining the mould in the casting- position, a spring-pressed lever h<12>, Fig. 1, engages the mould-body A. The parts A, C of the mould are held in correct engagement by springs 0, P, Fig. 2, and the upper and lower walls of the mould are adjusted to a parallel position by a socket a<12> on the part A which is engaged by a rotatable eccentric stud a<13> on the part C. Assembling and alining matrices.-Means is provided for varying the position at which the matrix line is presented to the mould, so that the characters may be cast on the slug in any desired relation to the edges thereof. Means is also provided for adjusting the mould keeperplate that alines the matrices. The first elevator M carrying the matrix line is adjusted by an eccentric h<15> which can, when desired, be connected to and rotated by the hand-lever H. The mould-keeper plate N is connected to a nut n<5>, Fig. 9, mounted on the screwed end of a rod a which passes through the screwed sleeve a<4>. The rod a is normally held stationary by a sliding key a<2>, which engages a recess in the nut c'. The key a<2> can be moved into engagement with the sleeve a<4> so that the rod and the sleeve are both rotated by the hand-lever H and the keeper-plate N is adjusted. The keeper-plate is yieldingly supported by springs n<3> to prevent damage in case of imperfect adjustment.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Method of Manufacturing Ribbed Tubes and the like, and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: CALVERT JAMES GARDNER
IPC: B21C37/26
Filed: 1911-04-22
Granted: 1912-04-22
Abstract: 9810. Calvert, J. G., and Cardell, O. V. April 22. Coiling; soldering.-In a method of making ribbed tubes, bars, &c., such as helical conveyers, the strip for forming the rib, which has been previously passed from a reel through a heating-device, is guided and supported laterally during winding for such a distance that it has no tendency to bend laterally, the guide serving exclusively for guiding the strip and not forming a draw - plate. The strip may thus be extended in the vicinity of its outer edge without breaking and previous corrugating is thus dispensed with. The strip 12 passes from a reel 18 through a brake 19 to an electric or other heating-apparatus 20, and thence under a guide 21 to the tube 11 to which its end is soldered. The tube is carried by a shaft 5, which is rotated by a belt and cone pulleys 7, 9, and is simultaneously traversed by the rotating screw 6. The guide 21 is mounted on the support 13, and consists of two disks 25, 30, Fig 6, having a groove 26 of shape corresponding to the section of the strip, set at the angle of the spiral to prevent lateral bending, and extending round the tube for the distance during which the stretching of the strip occurs. The strip is cooled and contracts round the tube, and the cooling may be accelerated by water from a pipe 23. In order to obtain an intimate contact between the tube and the strip to facilitate the conduction of heat, a thin strip of fusible metal or alloy 29 fluxed with borax, acid, &c. in a bath 27 or otherwise, is inserted between the rib and the tube, and fused by the heat from the rib.

Abstract: 10,318. Rawlings, W. R. April 28. Regulating- switches.-A regulating.- device for dimming lamps comprises a tumbler switch combined with one or more condensers so that the lamp may be connected direct to the leads, or connected with more or less of the condensers in circuit as desired, or disconnected. The switch comprises a tumbler handle f carrying a contact-plate a engaging along one side a continuous contact-strip b and on the other side a contact-strip b<1> and separate contacts b<2>, connected to the mains and condensers as shown in Fig. 8. The contact b is connected to one main and the contact b<1> is dead. As the contact a moves over the studs b<2> the sections of the condensers are put into circuit, and, when the brush a contacts with the last stud b<2>, the lamp is connected direct on to the mains. As the contact is moved in the other direction, sections of the condenser are cut out, and, when the brush a leaves the contacts b<2> and engages the contact b', the lamp is cut out of circuit. In a modification, an ordinary tumbler switch may be used in connexion with a single condenser to give three positions: -(1) current direct to lamp, (2) condenser in circuit and lamp dimmed, and (3) current off. Or the condenser may be combined with inductance coils to bring the current and potential in phase.

Title: Wrapping Machine.
Inventor: GIROUD FELIPE
IPC: B65B19/22
Filed: 1911-11-20
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 25,876. Giroud, F. Feb. 2, [Convention date]. Labelling. -Relates to machines in which wrappers are folded round articles by forcing the articles through a channel and at least one rotary folder. The articles 44 to be wrapped are stored against vertical guides 45 and the lowermost article is forced by a plunger arm 11 past a wrapper 39, which has been fed into a vertical shoot 38, into an open-sided horizontal channel formed by upper and lower plates 30, 31, respectively. The result of this movement is to fold the wrapper round three sides of the article, as shown in Fig. 6. When the forward movement of the plunger 11 ceases, the article and wrapper rest in a section 32 of the channel mounted on a rotatable disk, and, as the plunger retires, this section, or rotary fork, turns through two right - angles, thus folding the wrapper round the fourth side of the article as shown in Figs 2 and 7. A plunger arm 12 now moves the article out of the rotary fork into the next section of the channel, thus folding down the flap of the wrapper, as shown in Fig. 8. In order that a number of articles may be operated on at the same time, the plunger arms are fixed to a shaft 10 which both rotates and slides in its bearings 22. Thus the plunger 11, say, pushes an article forward into the channel, the shaft then rotates to lower the arm out of the channel, it next slides backwards and then rotates to raise the arm into position to engage the next article. The plunger arm 12 moves the packet forwards till it rests beneath folders 60, pivoted above the channel, which fold the projecting ends underneath the packet. A plunger arm 13 moves the packet out of the folders over an inclined plate 72 which holds the end folds in position, and past a second wrapper 41 into a rotary fork 33. In a manner similar to that described, this second wrapper, which receives gum from a gummer 74, is folded round the first wrapper and secures the package.
