Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 8006. Conill, E. J. April 10. Gas and like engines.-Relates to a modification of the engine of the revolving- cylinder type described in Specification No. 974, A.D. 1908. In this modification the roller path is constituted by a single metallic band on which each piston acts through the intermediary of a single roller. The form of the path and the method of distribution are also modified in the present invention. The cylinders c mounted on the hexagonal steel part b, keyed to the shaft a, are provided with pistons d having a single roller g mounted on a shaft f, carried by the two ears h, h<1>, which are formed solid with the piston. The roller band on which the piston rollers are made to bear by centrifugal force projects slightly from the roller path k, which has a channel section. Admission and exhaust are made through the orifices n of the hexagonal part b passing in front of the distributing-plate q, Fig. 3, which has two stems u sliding in corresponding holes in the bearing support l. Spiral springs v, mounted on the stems u, keep the plate q bearing on the rotating part b. Gas is supplied to the orifices s, s<1> by pipes p, and exhaust is made through pipes t. The parts of the roller path corresponding to the compression are formed by gently sloping curves, and the parts corresponding to the expansion are formed by rapidly sloping curves. Explosion takes place at A, Fig. 4, exhaust is completed at C, and suction ensues between C and D followed by compression between D and A'. Fig. 5 shows a modification with sixteen cylinders.

Title: Improvements in Telegraphically Transmitting Signals by Means of a Perforated Strip.
Filed: 1908-04-10
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 8013. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. April 10. Telegraphs.-In perforating a strip for automatic telegraphy, the depression of a key completes a circuit through a battery and a condenser and operates a punch by means of an electro-magnet, and the raising of the key after a short or long interval, allows the condenser to discharge through another circuit and to operate another punch. In transmission from the strip, one series of perforations completes a circuit through a condenser and sends a positive impulse to line, and the. other series of perforations discharges the condenser and sends a negative impulse to line. Fig. 1 shows the perforating-apparatus. When contact is made at e, the punch b<1> is operated and the condenser g is charged. When contact is made at e<1>, the discharge of the condenser operates the punch b. The time intervals between the two perforations correspond to dots and dashers. In the transmitting-apparatus shown in Fig. 3, the strip is drawn at constant speed along spring levers Z, Z<1>, which are in an horizontal plane. A perforation at A closes contact at K, charges the condenser C, and by attracting the armature D of the relay GR to the left, sends a positive impulse to line L. A perforation at A' discharges the condenser, and, by moving the armature D to the right, sends a negative impulse to line.

Inventor: DUNAJEFF LEONID
Filed: 1908-07-09
Granted: 1909-07-09
Abstract: 14,598. Dunajeff, L. July 9. Course recorders; logs.-Relates to course-recorders of the kind in which a fixed pencil rests on a chart traversed at a speed proportional to the speed of the ship or other moving body the chart being kept in a constant direction with reference to a compass needle. A drum 21 carrying the chart is driven by friction rollers 20 driven by bevel gearing from a shaft 15. The change-speed gear consists of a pair of oppositely-arranged cones 8, 9 having a driving - belt 12 which is adjusted axially against the action of a spring 7 by a cord 6 connected to the piston of a cylinder operated by a Pitot tube device. The taper of the cones is arranged so that the velocity of travel of the drum is proportional to the speed of the ship. The drum 21 is provided with a hanging take-up roller 22 driven by an endless band 61. A yoke 24 carrying rollers 23 which support the axis of the drum is provided with a worm-wheel 26, gearing with a screw 27 on a shaft 28. A shaft 38, also carrying a wormwheel gearing with a screw 42 on the shaft 28, is provided at its upper eud with a lever 34. A pin 32 on the compass needle takes between electric contacts 33 carried by the lever 34, the arrangement being that, when in consequence of a change of course the lever takes up a position other than north and south, the pin 32 closes an electric circuit and causes a motor to rotate the shaft 28 and so move the yoke 24 until the chart has moved through an angle corresponding to the chauge of course, at which point the current is automatically cut off by the contact 33 moving away from the pin 32. The marking-pencil 46 is arranged between the wheels 20, and a record of the speed may be obtained by arranging a hammer to strike aside the pencil at regular intervals.

Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Tufted Pile Fabrics.
Inventor: SIMPSON ROBERT
Filed: 1908-12-10
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 26,774. Simpson, R. Dec. 10. Looms, pile-forming in ; creel frames.-In order that tufted-fabric looms of the type described in Specification No. 13,684, A.D. 1885, may be used for the production of broad fabrics, the tuft yarns for each row of tufts are wound on a number of spools, which are arranged end to end and are carried on parallel chains. The tuft-transferring n i p p e r s are arranged in as many sets as there are spools in a row, and some or all of the sets are movable across the loom, for a short distance, to compensate for the gaps in the rows of yarn tubes opposite the intermediate spool - carrying chains. The spools A, Fig. 1, and the frames A' carrying the yarn tubes are mounted on e n d l e s s chains B, B', the links of the intermediate chains B<1> being arranged to receive the ends of two adjacent frames A'. The sets of tuft-transferring nippers U', Figs. 1 and 2, which take the tufts from the yarn tubes A<2> and, after they have been severed, transfer them to the fabric, are mounted on inner frames E<2>, which are mounted within the frame D carried by the rocking shaft D<1>. As the frame D is swung downwards to insert the tufts into the fabric, the sets of nippers C<2> are closed together by means of cams G<2>, which cause the frames E<2> to slide within the frame D. The nippers C' are normally held open by springs J<1> and are closed at the required times by conical wedges J<2>, which are carried by tubular rods and are forced between the jaws C' by levers J<3> controlled by springs such as K. The levers J<3> are turned by projections on an adjustable piece K<1> carried by a cam-actuated sliding rod K<2>. There are two projections on the piece K<1>, one for operation when the sets of grippers are close together, and the other for operation when the grippers are in their separated positions. In order to bring the correct projection into action, the rod K<2> is turned by cam-actuated toothed gearing. Adjacent tuft-yarn spools may have separate intermediate carrying-chains.

Title: Improvements connected with Hooks for Wearing Apparel.
Inventor: BACKUS JOHN CLAYTON
Filed: 1908-12-22
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 27,851. Backus, J. C. Dec. 22. Hooks.-A clothes-hanging hook is provided with a locking-bolt to secure the article against loss. The hook and bolt are adapted for coats or hats, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 respectively, the two forms being interchangeable. The hook 1, suitably shaped at its end 2, is detachably secured to the back. plate 8 of a casing by means of projections 3, 4 engaging in slots. A locking-bolt 5 slides in the casing and is depressed by hand to enter a recess 7 in the hook. The bolt 5 has a limited play towards the end 2 of the hook, so that any attempt to remove the article suspended from the hook causes it to be gripped more tightly. The bolt 5 is held by a spring-pressed pivoted dog 18, which engages one of a number of teeth on the bolt. The dog is released by a key-plate 21 sliding in a guide 26 at the back of the plate 8. The key has grooves and slots corresponding with projections in the guide, and when inserted it engages a trip 27 to release the dog 18 and to enable the bolt 5 to be raised. At the same time an extension 19 on the dog 18 enters a notch in the side of the key and holds it until the bolt is again depressed. A projection 22 on the dog rides upon the edge of the bolt, and holds the dog away from the bolt until the teeth 23 are in position to be engaged. To prevent picking, a spring-pressed guard-plate 31, pivoted at 32, engages the trip 27 and has a projection 33, which passes through a slot 34 into the path of the key 21. The key when inserted in the guide 26 draws the plate 31 away from the trip 27, and allows the dog 18 to be moved when the bolt is raised. The casing comprises flanged back and front plates, wings 11 with holes for attachment, and a cover 28 behind the guide 26. The bolt shown in Fig. 4 is of staple form. The key and the casing bear corresponding numerals &c. for identification.

Abstract: 23,310. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Oct. 12. [Addition to 14,239/09.] Exchange systems.-The method of preventing, the calling of an engaged subscriber described in the parent Specification, is modified in such a way that when the conversation-switch SpU is turned to the ringing - position, a normally - energized differential relay DR is connected through a relav BR to the socket of the called subscriber. If he is disengaged, the relay DR is de-energized, with the result that the self-locking relays HR and RER are in turn energized, thereby connecting the calling-generator RM to the called line. The consequent excitation of the relay RR causes the illumination of a ringing-control lamp RCL, and at the same time short-circuits the relay HR. The relay RER is de-energized when the switch SpU is released. If the called subscriber is engaged, the relay DR remains excited, preventing the application of ringing-current, and the relay BR is energized, thereby supplying current to any suitable signal or to a buzzer Su connected to the operator's receiver H.
