Title: Improvements in Ventilating Fan Apparatus for Railway Carriages and other Vehicles.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1906-08-21
Granted: 1907-08-15
Abstract: 18,714. Imray, O., [Pintsch, J.]. Aug. 21. Car ventilators.-Between the fan C and the shaft a, which is driven by a wind motor A, or from the axle of the vehicle by electric or mechanical means, or from any other part which is stationary when the vehicle stops, is interposed a spring motor B which stores energy during movement and drives the fan during stoppages. One end of the spring is fixed to the casing e at e<2> and the other end to the spindle f at f<2>. The casing has a ring of teeth e<1> and is driven by the spindle a through the wheel train a<1>, b<1>, d, the wheels b<1>, d being fixed on the shaft b. As the spring is thus wound up, the spindle f rotates and drives the fan through the wheel train f<1>, b<2>, b<3>, g<1>, the wheels b<2>, b<3> being fixed together and loose on the shaft b. When the spring is tight, the spindle f and casing e rotate as one body. The starting and stopping are effected by withdrawing the bolt i out of or allowing it to drop into engagement with a hole in the wheel b<3>. The spring may be wound manually by means of a crank applied to the axle f. To prevent the spring motor from driving the prime motor as well as the fan during stoppages, a spring-pressed block h is arranged to bear lightly on a friction disk h<1> on the shaft a. Reversal of the rotation of the wind motor is prevented by a pawl (not shown) engaging ratchet teeth on a disk on the same shaft, or the friction block and disk h, h<1> may be modified to give this result. When the prime motor is of such a character that it necessarily reverses on reversal of the direction of travel of the vehicle, a suitable automatic reversing- gear must be interposed between the prime motor and the spring motor.

Title: Tabulating Mechanism for Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: DUKES HARRY STEPHENSON
Filed: 1908-12-29
Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 28,337. Dukes, H. S., and Clayton, W. H. Dec. 29. Typewriters.- Relates to denominational tabulating -devices of the kind wherein the tabulating- stops automatically cause the escapement to re-engage the carriage when this reaches the selected position. The escapementwheel 10 is formed with a clutch face 12 engaging a clutch face 13 on a sleeve 14, which is feathered on the shaft' 11 and is held by a spring 15. The sleeve 14 is provided with a collar 16, which is engaged by a release-lever 18 provided with a finger-piece. The column stops or locaters 31 consist of sleeves adjustably mounted on a stationary rack 37 and are each formed with a bevelled face 35 adapted to engage the bent ends 36 of a series of denomination stops or locaters, consisting of levers 32 each connected at 47 to a lever 45 provided with a key 44 and a spring 48. When one of the keys is depressed, the selected lever 32 draws the part 36 into the plane of the stops 31 and swings the lever 18 by means of a lug 42. The escapement is thereby released from the carriage so that this may travel until the part 36 engages the stop 31, whereupon the lever 32 is cammed upwards and trips the lug 42 from the lever 18, thus permitting the spring 15 to restore the carriage-feeding mechanism to its engaged condition, and thereby arrest the carriage in the selected position. The arrangement of the lever 45 permits of the trip action even when the key 44 is held down. The carriage is controlled during its run by the braking action set up by the friction between a collar on the shaft 11 and the journal of the shaft, the friction being adjusted by varying the pressure on the keys. The braking action is also set up when the carriage is released by the lever 18 for purposes other than tabulating. The levers 32 are mounted in a slotted guide 40. The slots are a letter space apart, and normally the levers are placed in adjacent slots. To provide means for tabulating decimal points and punctuation marks, the levers may be re-arranged in the slots so as to leave the required gaps. In some cases the stops 32 are arranged on a fixed part and the stops 31 are mounted on the carriage.
