Title: Improvements in or relating to Calculating Machines.
IPC: G06C7/08
Filed: 1913-08-22
Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 19,089. Aktiebolaget Adderator. Aug. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Adding - apparatus; selecting denomination. -A key set and operated calculating - machine, having a single bank of keys and a travelling carriage for the totalizing-counter, is provided with means whereby the numeral keys are employed to set the carriage to the particular denomination required. In this type of machine, the depression of a key rotates an arm a which, through a coupling-device f, actuates in succession the numeral - wheels d of the totalizer. The arm a is mounted on a travelling carriage d<1>, which is moved step by step by means of an escapement device comprising a rack h and an arm i carrying two pawls l, m, one of which is rotatably mounted to allow the carriage to be returned by hand to its left-hand position. In order to allow the carriage to be adjusted by means of the numeral keys, it is first moved beyond its normal left-hand position, whereupon a projection p on the carriage meets a shoulder r on a shaft q and moves this to the left so that another shoulder s disengages the pawl m. A catch u is provided to hold the carriage is this position; when a key is depressed, the catch u is operated to release the carriage by means of a yoke z, which rests on the keys and is adapted through an arm 3 and tooth 4 to engage and release the catch. The carriage by means of its spring then moves to the right until arrested by the projection p engaging one of a series of shoulders v pivoted on the shaft q. Normally the shoulders v are out of the path of the projection p and of catches w on the key-stems. In the left-hand position of the shaft q, the catch w of the depressed key engages the corresponding shoulder v and moves it into the path of the projection p which then returns the shaft so that the pawl m engages the rack h; the carriage is then in position to proceed with the calculation.

Patent GB-191326242-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Paper and the like.
Inventor: WALLIN JOHAN HUGO
IPC: D21F1/00
Filed: 1913-11-15
Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 26,242. Wallin, J. H. Nov. 15. Alarm, indicating, recording, and registering apparatus ; thickness of paper, registering and gauging.-The variations in the quantity of water running from or pressed cut of the layer of pulp by the dandy roll, couch-roller, first or second pressure roller, or other part of the wet portion of the paper machine, but preferably by the first felt press, is used to indicate the change in the thickness of the pulp in the machine, or to control the supply of pulp to the machine, or to do both. As shown in the Figure, the water running from or pressed out of the pulp flows from a pipe 1 into a vessel 2 having a variable outlet 3. As more or less water flows in, a float 4 rises or falls, and an indicator 6 moves downwards or upwards over a scale 7, on which the thickness of paper may be indicated. The flow of pulp may be controlled by hand, or by mechanism connected to a toothed wheel 14 and rotated in one or other direction as a switch 6 makes contact with one or other of the terminals 20, 21. When the layer of pulp is too thick, a circuit through the wire 26 is completed, and an electro-magnet 13 attracts a pawl 11 and causes its opposite end to engage the teeth of the wheel 14 as a bar 9, on which the magnet 13 and pawl 11 are mounted, is reciprocated by a crank 19. When the layer of pulp is too thin, a circuit through the wire 22 is completed, and a pawl 10, attracted by an electro-magnet 12, rotates the wheel 14 in the opposite direction. Instead of using a float 4, the vessel 2 may be attached to, or form part of, a pair of scales connected to the indicator 6, and the contacts 20, 21 may be adjustable by hand, or automatically, according to the speed of the machine or to the pressure or temperature of the drying-steam.

Abstract: 10,417. Aron Elektricitatszahlerfabrik Ges. Oct. 24, 1913, [Convention date]. Cams. - In pricechange mechanism for prepayment meters, a wheel m on the meterdriven spindle h drives a spindle n, which is geared to the bevelwheel u of the quantitymechanism, through a train of gear including a wheel q carried by an arm r loose on the spindle n. A pin s on the arm r co-operates with a compound disk comprising two relatively adjustable cam-disks i, k frictionally mounted on the spindle h, so that when the pin passes up out of the gap on to the wide portion of the disk, the wheel q is moved out of gear with the wheel t of the train, and the rotation of the bevel-wheel u ceases until the pin again drops into the gap. By adjusting the disks relatively to one another, the size of the gap may be increased or reduced, and one disk may be provided with graduations and the other with a display aperture.

Abstract: 11,159. Fiorani, T. May 29, 1913, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Exciting. - Constant voltage is obtained from a variable - speed continuous-current machine D, Fig. 1, by including in its exciting-circuit a motor M running at constant torque or speed. The motor is shuntexcited at a and its armature is in series with the field coil S of the machine D, the motor being driven by an auxiliary dynamo D', which is coupled mechanically to the dynamo D and is excited by permanent magnets, an independent source of constant voltage, or by a winding b connected across the machine D under regulation. It is shown in the Specification that this arrangement gives constant voltage across P N independently of speed variation, and a polarity which is independent of the direction of rotation. The two machines D, D' may be combined into one, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. In the four-pole form shown in Fig. 2, a winding b is shunted across the main circuit P N and the motor armature M is in series with the exciting-coil S. Compensating-coils C, C' are used in series with both brush pairs. In the form shown in Fig. 3, independent pairs of poles P<1> P<2>, P<3> P<4> are excited by coils shunted across the brushes 1, 3. The centre point A of these coils is connected through the motor armature M to the centre point K of the motor field coil, which is connected across the brushes 1, 3. The point K is also connected to a pair of short-circuited brushes 2, 4 on the machine D. At starting, the dynamo D is excited by permanent magnets or an independent constant voltage supply, such as a battery B, producing pairs of north and south poles at P', P<3> and P', P<4> respectively. Superposed on this magnetizing-current is one producing pairs of north and south poles at P<1>, P<4> and P<2>, P<3> respectively. It is shown in the Specification that constant voltage and polarity result, as in the case of Fig. 1.
