Filed: 1903-09-04
Granted: 1904-02-25
Abstract: 19,088. Jones, T. S., and Melandri, J. Sept. 4. Couplings, non-automatic; means for attaching draught animals.-In a device for preventing the accidental displacement of the pin from a shackle employed to couple trams and other vehicles, a catch c is pivoted in a recess in the pin. When the pin is in the coupled position, the catch projects outside the recess under the action of its weight or of a spring, and prevents the pin from being raised through the lower eye f of the shackle. To allow the pin to be withdrawn for uncoupling, the catch may be pressed into the recess by hand or by an inclined projection i formed on the eye f. After insertion in the shackle, the end g of the pin is enlarged so that, while it can pass through the lower eye f, it enters the groove k round the upper eye d and prevents the entire withdrawal of the pin from the shackle, the inclined surface j being adapted to return the catch within the pin. Fig. 7 shows the device applied to a bent rod for connecting a tram to horse harness so that the horse can walk outside the rails.

Patent GB-190325485-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Photographic Shutters.
Inventor: BERGER MAX
Filed: 1903-11-23
Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 25,485. Berger, M. Nov. 23. Shutters.-In a form of double roller-blind shutter similar to that described in Specification No. 20,933, A.D. 1900, the blinds are controlled by co-axial toothed wheels on which stops are arranged to limit the relative motion of the blinds, and which are capable of independent rotation for adjusting the width of the exposure slit. The driving-wheels c, g, Figs. 1 and 2, of the upper and lower blinds a, b respectively are separately mounted on a central shaft journalled in the frame d and rotated by the head f. The square stop k on the wheel c in conjunction with stops l, m on the wheel g limits the relative movements of the wheels, and thus of the blinds a, b. The stop m is held by means of the forked spring o, in any one of the holes in the wheel g according to the width of slit required, and contains a transverse slit. When released from the action of the spring, it can be turned through a right-angle so that the slit passes the square stop k and the motions of the two blinds are thus independent. As the shutter runs down, the pin h on the frame d catches the projection i on the wheel c, and the wheel g goes on running till stopped by the stop l, when the blind will have fallen by an additional amount to recover the slit. In the modification shown in Figs. 4 and 6, the slit is also covered in the wound-up position, and the lower blind is not followed by the upper blind until the adjusted width of slit is produced. For this adjustment the wheel c' is mounted loosely on the hub e<1>, while the wheel g<1> is non-rotatably mounted on the bush t. By pulling the knob r', the wheel c' and hub e' are pulled outwards against the action of the spring x, and can be rotated independently, and the pin of the flat spring m re-engaged with any one of the notches in the stops n. The stops m<1>, u on the wheel c', together with the stop w on the wheel g', limit the relative movements of the wheels, and, in running down, the catch q<1> retains a projection p<1> of the wheel g<1> until the slit is opened, when the curved end of the flat spring- piece m<1> releases it.

Title: Improvements in Ticket Punching, Indicating and Registering Machines.
Inventor: MAXWELL DAVID
Filed: 1904-11-07
Granted: 1904-12-08
Abstract: 24,001. Maxwell, D. Nov. 7. Ticket punches.- The apparatus is incapable of actuation unless a ticket has been introduced, and the ticket is locked against withdrawal from the punch until the bell has been sounded and the counter actuated. The ticket 14 is placed in the slit 8 of a slidable bolster 7 which is normally pressed out by springs 11, and contains a guide-hole 9 for a punch 10, a slot 17 on the punch receiving the stud 21 upon a lever 12, pivoted to the frame at 13. These parts thus constitute a four-bar motion such that the punch will be forced through the ticket as the bolster is pressed in, the resistance of the ticket first, however, lifting the punch against the spring 16 until the lower end of the slot is against the stud, in which position a projection 22 on the punch clears the fixed stop 15 which locks the parts in the absence of a ticket. During the motion, the stud moves along the lower toothed edge of a lever 18 pivoted at 19, whereby it is prevented from returning after an incomplete stroke, and the rising of the lever displaces the bell-hammer lever 25, so that, when the stud 21 finally escapes, the spring 27 will ring the bell. On the return stroke the stud passes over the curved portion of the lever just above the teeth. The lever 12 operates the counter by pushing the lever 34 against the resistance of a spring 35. The receptacle 28 for the portion of tickets punched out is kept in position by its pin 29, and may be closed by a cover 30 which is attached to the case by a cord 31 and a seal. The apparatus may be suspended and operated with one hand.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Regulation of the Output of Electric Generators Driven at Varying Speeds.
Filed: 1905-04-20
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 8570. British Thomson-Houston Co., Kolden, F., and Garfield, A. S. April 20. Switches.-Relates to means whereby the output of a generator driven at varying speed is maintained constant, being especially applicable to generators used in combination with accumulators in train-lighting systems, and consists in interposing between the driving shaft and the generator shaft a differential gear the intermediate element of which drives a hysteresis brake ; the invention also comprises mechanism for actuating the circuitchanging switch when the direction of rotation of the driving-shaft is reversed. The hysteresis brake disk 9 is driven through gear-wheels 6, 7 by the element 5 of the differential gear which connects the driving-shaft 1 with the generator shaft 4. The multipolar electro-magnet 10, in the field of which the disk 9 revolves, is energized from any suitable source, but preferably by connecting it in series with the field winding of the generator. The circuit-changing switch, which is preferably of the cylindrical type, has fitted on its axis a wormwheel 15 gearing with a worm 16 on the brake-disk shaft 8, the worm-wheel being formed with a gap 17, opposite which the worm 16 comes when the switch is in either of its closed positions. A spring 18 pressing against a pin on the wheel 15 holds one edge of the gap 17 against the worm 16, so that, when the direction of rotation of the shaft 8 is reversed, the worm 16 immediately gears with the worm-wheel. If it is desirable to vary the output of the generator in accordance with the condition of the accumulators, the excitation of the magnet 10 may be varied by means of a relay switch excited from the cells and controlling a shunt across the magnet winding. A fan driven by the car axle may be employed to cool the disk 9. The gearing of the apparatus is preferably run in oil in a casing 19.
