Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Switches.
IPC: H01H51/08
Filed: 1910-03-11
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 6160. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. March 11. Electro-magnetic switches.-Relates to an electro-magnetic switch of the type that is opened and closed by alternate strokes of a solenoid core acting alternately against a pair of notches on opposite sides of a central tongue attached to the switch lever. The invention consists in providing a bifurcated member pivoted to the end of the solenoid core and having a pointed projection to act as the striking- piece, The contact blade 2 is provided with projections 11, 12, 13. The side 13 is weighted so that the blade 2 when out of the contact-clips 8 shall lie against a stop 7. For the circuit closed position, the blade is held in the clips by friction. When the solenoid 15 is energized the pointed end 22 of the bifurcated member 21 pivoted on the upper end of the core 18 strikes a blow in the recess between the projections 11, 12 as they stand in the full-line position corresponding to the circuit being closed. The effect is to throw the switch blade out of the clip to the dotted line position. When the core of the de-energized solenoid has fallen, the point of the tongue 22 will stand under the recess between the projections 12, 13, and a further stroke of the core will throw the switch blade back.

Abstract: 28,555. Round, J. H. Dec. 8. Registering number a n d time of working of machines. - Apparatus for registering the number of operations or groups of operations of a weighing or other machine which occur during successive definite time - intervals, say, each hour of the day, comp r i s e s a recessed toothed wheel B adapted to deposit a ball or a volume of mercury for every operation &c. in one of a number of inclined grooves or tubes H, one of which corresponds to each hour. At every operation, a circuit containing an electromagnet D is made, and a pawl C, actuated thereby, rotates the wheel B through one tooth-space. The wheel carries the balls a in succession from a receptacle A past a shield E which prevents the escape of the balls until they reach the discharge-pipe F, by which they are carried to a movable selecting-pipe K. This pipe is carried round by an electromagnet m<3> controlled by a clock, so that it delivers the balls in succession to the series of twenty-four grooves or tubes H corresponding to the hours of the day. The tubes are mounted in a pivoted frame or frames, so that the balls contained therein can be discharged at the end of the day into a common receptacle; a twenty-fifth tube can be supplied for the first hour of the next day, and is separately pivoted. Alternatively, the tubes may be arranged round a cone or cylinder, which may be moved by the clock-work past a stationary delivery pipe, the connexion with the machine may be mechanical instead of electric, and a record may be taken by hand of the condition of the tubes at any instant.

Abstract: 22,941. Sokal, S., [Courant, E.]. Oct. 17. Sewing - machines ; feed by dog; presser feet. - In ornamentalsewing machines, particularly those for overedge-stitching scalloped edges, the work is fed by two feeders, one of which feeds the work forward while the other feeds it transversely under control of a pattern disk. The pattern disk 6 is driven by a pawl 13 from the lever o which is oscillated by the roller 4 from the cam r. This disk controls the position of the rod 5 by engaging a projection k thereon, and so determines the position of the slot 10 in a toothed wheel engaging the rack-rod 5. The movement of the feed-dog 1, actuated by the shaft e, is dependent upon the movement of the rod p, which is derived from a roller on a universal joint moved by the link 3 which slides in the slot 10, and is thus determined by the position of this slot. A graduated plate 17 above the bed-plate shows the position of the cam 6, which can be set by hand to suit special work such as corner lobes. The forward-feed-dogs 2 are screwed to a tongue w movable up and down in a slide x by an eccentric engaging a roller 23. The slide x is reciprocated by a pin v moved by a cam 15 on the lower shaft of the machine. A presser foot 8 with a recess 9 is used to avoid pressing down the finished work.
