Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 2613. Bridge, H. Feb. 2. Puzzles.-Relates to a puzzle in which a ball b, Fig. 6, is manipulated in channels formed between maze-like projections a fixed to the base A and to the transparent top B, which is either revoluble or capable of being reciprocated relatively to the base. In the latter case, the projections a are straight. In the form shown, the projections a are concentric, but the mazes are of different patterns. By revolving the top B, passages c, which are formed in each maze to allow the ball to pass from one channel to another, may be brought into alinement, and the ball can be passed from one channel to another, the object being to get the ball into the central space x. The cover B is flanged, and is engaged by a turned-over projection of the base A. A hole is formed in the cover &c. for introducing the ball into the puzzle. In the rectilinear form, the movement of the cover is limited by stops. According to the Provisional Specification, the mazes may be constructed on the " skeleton " principle, and a ring used in place of the ball; also, more than two mazes may be combined together.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Control of Electric Motors.
Filed: 1907-09-30
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 21,670. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Oct. 1, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motor control systems.-A motor controlled_by a distant switch has duplicate field or armature windings, and the return conductor used for running the motor in one direction is used for starting the motor in the reverse direction and is then cut out. The connexions are automatically changed to bring the motor to rest after a predetermined number of revolutions. The winding of an electro-magnet n which operates a signal device is used as a resistance. The motor m is connected to a source of supply a through automatic switches l, k and switches b, c operated by one handle o. The switches l, k are normally in the position shown in Fig. 3, but they are moved from one position to another by the motor acting through the device r. In Fig. 1, the winding n is shown connected in the motor circuit, but the current is not sufficient to operate the motor. To start the motor, the switches b, c are moved to the positions shown in Fig. 3. This cuts out the winding n, thus operating the signal, and, as the motor starts, the device r moves to allow the switch l to cut out the lead hand insert the lead i. After a predetermined number of revolutions, the switch k is operated by the device r, to cut out the lead i and insert the lead g and winding n. This increases the resistance sufficiently to stop the motor. The motor may be reversed by throwing the switches b, c back to the position shown in Fig. 1, and these switches may be operated after the motor has started The system may be employed for any reversible operating- mechanism in which a device is employed to indicate the conditions at all times, as, for instance, in lifts and transporter or conveyer systems.

Folding; wind ing ; measuring.-A stationary creasing-block A of wood, tinned iron, or any suitable material, employed for folding or doubling fabrics, is shown in plan in a machine for doubling, winding, and measuring fabrics. The blcck A is of triangular form with the base a<1> at the rear, the fabric travelling up the inclined surface and leaving the device at the apex a<2>. The block is mounted on cross - supports c, and can be given a lateral motion by a screw and hand-wheel d, for obtaining an uneven fold. I the machine shown, the fabric enters from a batch roll and passes over the creasing- block, the folded fabric passing between vertical bars b and between a roller i and a nip roller j, from which it is led to a lapping-frame or batch roller L. The power shaft 1 drives by bevel-gear, the shaft 3 of the roller i, and a pulley on the shaft 3 carries a belt driving the batch roller L. A measuring-disk m is driven by worm gearing from the shaft 3. A similar machine is also described in which the creasing-block is arranged vertically.
