Title: Improvements in and connected with Air Brakes.
Inventor: HIGGINS MICHAEL
Filed: 1908-09-08
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 18,871. Higgins, M. Sept. 8. Brake signals and alarms.- A signal lamp 21, carried by a disk 6, is moved into operative position when the train - pipe pressure of fluid-pressure brakes of railway vehicles is reduced by leakage &c. The disk 6 is pivotally mounted on a spindle 14 and is held in its central position by springs 10, 11 which allow the disk to move aside if it encounters an obstacle. The spindle has a forked arm 18 which is engaged by an arm 20 on a transverse shaft 5 connected to the piston-rod 3. Air from the train-pipe is admitted to the front end of the cylinder 1, Fig. 3, through a pipe 37. and, moving the piston 2 to the left, passes through a non-return valve 25 to the back of the piston and to a reservoir 24. When the train-pipe pressure is reduced the piston moves the disk 6 at right-angles to the vehicle. A collar 30 on the piston-rod engages a pivoted lever 35 and opens a valve 32 to release air from the rear end of the cylinder and to equalize the pressures on both sides of the position. A slight increase in train-pipe pressure is now sufficient to move the piston to the left and to move the disk to the side of the vehicle. Instead of the valve 32, a groove 40 may be formed in the wall of the cylinder to allow the pressures on the two sides of the position 2 to equalize.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Type or Typographic Composing Systems or Apparatus.
IPC: B41B25/00
Filed: 1909-10-12
Granted: 1910-04-28
Abstract: 23,297. Lanston Monotype Corporation, [Elliott, R. C.]. Oct. 12. Strip-perforating machines; key-boards.-Relates to machines such as that described in Specification 18,638/99, for producing record-strips for controlling automatic composing-machines such as that described in Specification 8633/99, in which a diecase moves in two directions at right-angles over the casting or impression point. Each punch or signal-producing device is actuated by two or more punch-bars or actuating-members, and thus serves to control two or more of the gauges, which arrest the die-case in one of its two directions of motion. By this means, the number of punches is reduced by one-half, and the width of the record-strip is diminished. One or more pilot or selecting punches are provided and are operated automatically by one of the two or more punch-bars which actuate each punch. The perforations produced by the pilot punches control a shift-mechanism on the composing- machine, whereby the action of a punch is transferred from one gauge to another. The punch-bars B are, as heretofore, in two groups, which correspond to rows and columns in the diecase respectively, and each group is subdivided into two sub-groups. The punches B<1> are connected by straight interponents B<2> with the punchbars of the two inner sub-groups, and by bent interponents B<3> with the bars of the two outer sub-groups. Each punch can thus be operated either by a punch-bar of one of the inner sub-groups or by a punch-bar of the adjacent outer sub-group. The bars of the inner sub-groups operate one of two pilot punches hy means of bars H<3>, which engage shoulders on the punch-bars, levers H<7>, links H<4>, and levers H<5>. The punch-bars are returned to normal position by a bar E, and the interponents by a spring- controlled lever J. Specification 17,199/08 is also referred to.
