Granted: 1915-01-13
Abstract: 927. McCabe, H. B. Jan. 13. Time-recorders for workmen etc; driving typewheels from clock; time and cost, computing.- The mechanism comprises one or more electrically-operated recording registers controlled by a periodic make-and-break switch, the action of which is normally stopped during hours of rest. Means are provided for causing it to resume during the normally idle periods, the character of the record being altered and the summation of the ordinary periods not being interfered with. Adjustable cams 57, 58, 59, 60 on a clock-driven 24-hour wheel 56, Fig. 1, hold a detent lever 54 away from the make-and-break switch 31 during the normal working hours, and move the detent so as to stop the switch action during the intervals. The interval corresponding to night or overtime hours is furnished with an axially offset cam 61 which can, when desired, be moved by a hand-lever 63 so as to hold the detent away and allow the switch to work. The movement of the handle for this purpose changes the character of the record. The recording- apparatus, of which one or more are controlled by the same make-and-break switch, comprises a number of ratchet-wheels 101, 102, 103, 104, Fig. 14, mounted on concentric shafts, which carry indicating and printing wheels 93, 94, 95, 96. The ratchet-wheels are actuated by a common reciprocating pawl 108, Fig. 15, having a stepped edge controlled by notched disks attached to the sides of the ratchet-wheels, so that units, tens, &c. are counted after the manner of a cyclometer. The pawl 108 is carried on a lever 111 attracted and. released by an electro-magnet 109 at each make and break of the controlling-switch. The record is printed from numeral types on the rims of the indicating-wheels. To obtain the altered record for overtime work, a sleeve, co-axial with the ratchet-wheels and having a cam 115, is moved by a polarized electro - magnet 127 upon the actuation of a reversing-switch 87 linked to the handle 63. In its displaced position, the cam 115 serves to hold up the pawl 108 out of engagement with the ratchet-wheels 103, 104, while allowing engagement with the wheels 101, 102, and also brings into the printing-line a special character, such as X, which remains throughout the overtime record. At the end of the overtime period, the handle 63 is set back, the current through the electro-magnet 127 is reversed, and the cam 115 is shifted to the right where it does not interfere with the pawl 108. The parts are arranged for the overtime period to extend exactly to 100 actuations, so that, at the end of this period, all the numerals will be the same as at the beginning.

Abstract: 568. Vickers, Ltd., and Duncan, T. S. Jan. 13. [Cognate Application, 11,664/15.] Pneumatic and hydraulic springs; dashpots.-A device fitted between the wheels, skids, or floats and the framework of an aeroplane in order to absorb the shock of landing comprises two telescopic members enclosing compressed air and oil, the shock being dissipated by further compressing the air and by causing the oil to be forced from one part of the apparatus to the other through gradually diminishing passages. The recoil is also damped and the parts brought gently to rest by fluid friction. Fig. 1 shows one form of the device laid on its side, the left-hand end being normally the lower end. A lower cylinder A containing oil works in an upper compressed-air cylinder C having a plunger B adapted to displace oil from the lower cylinder. The plunger B is tapered so that the annular space through which the oil flows diminishes as the cylinder A rises. An inner casing A<1>, perforated for the passage of oil through it into the cylinder C, guides the cylinder A. The plunger B is hollow and in communication through a hole B<1> with the air space, and a piston D carried by a rod D<1> in the cylinder A works within the plunger B. The rod D<1> is a loose fit in the hole in the plunger, or the plunger may have separate perforations, so that there is always some oil at its lower end which retards the descent of the piston D. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the plunger B acts as a guide for the upper end of the cylinder A. The plunger is square in crosssection, parallel-sided, and fits a hole in the end of the cylinder A, but tapered flats b<x>, Fig. 5, are cut at the corners so as to leave ports a<x> in the top of the cylinder A. Inclined slots b<1> forming continuations of the flats b<x> are cut in the plunger to allow free flow of the oil at the beginning of the stroke. The piston D, in this case, is formed as an enlargement of the head of the cylinder A and works in a reduced part of the cylinder C. One or more passages d<1> in the piston D ensure a supply of oil beneath the piston. A tube b<2> communicating with the air cylinder through a chamber b<4> and passage B<1> ensures that any oil in the plunger will be blown out on the return stroke. The plunger may be triangular or polygonal, or it may be cylindrical with tapered flats or keyways formed upon it. Instead of forming the fluid passages on the outside of the plunger, they may be formed on a rod projecting into the open lower end of the ram from the base of the cylinder A.
