Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 16,940. Gibson, G. July 15. Printing-apparatus for tickets; inking-apparatus; number-printing apparatus.-In a device for stamping on tickets the date, route, journey, time, conductor's number, or other indications desired, the printing-disks 24 are mounted on a shaft 22 carried by sliding frames 19, pressed by springs 21 so that the printing-faces of the wheels are normally in contact with an ink-pad on the slide 3. This slide also carries spring guides 7, beneath which the ticket to be stamped is placed, and pivoted cam-pieces 13, which, as the slide is pressed inwards by a finger-piece 18, lifts the shaft 22 until stops on the fixed framework disengage them from the trunnions 23 and allow the springs 21 to force the printing-wheels on to the ticket. On the return motion of the slide 3, under the influence of a spring 4, cams 10 lift the wheels 24 and reset them. The printing-wheels are given a step-bystep motion, when desired, by pawls 28, the carrying-frames 28<a> of which may engage with abutments 29, movable into various positions by a handle 30 outside the casing. Stops may be fixed on the door of the casing to prevent the abutments from being moved into certain positions except when the door is opened for purposes of checking.

Title: Improvements in Music Leaf Turners.
Inventor: HARRIS GEORGE HENRY
IPC: B42D9/06
Filed: 1910-09-23
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 22,051. Harris, G. H. Sept. 23. Leaf - turners. - Relates to leaf-turners for music having a number of pivoted turning- arms, one connected to each leaf, and operated in succession in either direction by a pair of pivoted arms. The turning - arms are arranged above a plate b, and have slotted vertical branches to engage the leaves. The plate b has two segmental slots b<1>, b<2>, and below it are arranged two pivoted operating - arms c, d, actuated in one direction by springs c<1>, d<1>, and in the other direction by Bowden wires c<2>, d<2>, which may be operated by levers actuated by the knees. The levers c, d carry segmental spring catches having inclines c<4>, c<5>, and d<4>, d<5>, so that when the wire c<2> is pulled, the lever c rotates, and its spring catch rises through the slot b<1> and automatically engages the first turning-arm a. When released, the lever c is returned by its operating-spring, carrying the turning-arm and leaf with it. When the incline c<5> comes against the end of the slot b<1>, the spring catch is depressed so as to release the turning-arm, which, by its momentum, is then carried completely over to the left.

Granted: 1910-10-17
Abstract: 22,541. Bell, G. W. Oct. 15, 1909. Pneumatic springs; dash-pots. - Relates to pneumatic suspensions for automobiles and like vehicles of the kind in which the axle 3 of the vehicle is supported by the piston 1 in a cylinder 2, the cylinder being disposed, together with compressed-air reservoirs 30, in the central hub 9 of a wheel 10. According to the invention, the sensitive pneumatic-spring movements are controlled by dash-pots at each end of the stroke. At the lower end, a ferrule 20 can telescope within the ferrule 22, thus cutting off the annular space 26 containing air and oil. At the upper end, air may be drawn in through apertures 35 and imprisoned by the piston. This motion is also utilized to circulate oil from the reservoir 14<a> to the cup-leather 13. Excess of oil escaping into the casing 9<a> is carried round to the reservoirs 14<a>, being taken off the casing by the scoop 14<b>.

Patent GB-191028584-A (GB)
Title: Device for Lighting and Extinguishing Gas Lamps, particularly those of Railway Carriages.
IPC: F23Q9/00
Filed: 1910-12-08
Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 28,584. Pintsch Akt.-Ges., J. Dec. 17, 1909, [Convention date]. Pilot jets. - For lighting and extinguishing gas-burners, especially in railway-carriage lamps, a pilot jet is fed by two supplies, of which one is always on, while the other passes through a gas receiver 11, and is cut off behind the receiver when the cock 2 is turned on, so that the pilot light burns with a normal flame when the main burner is out, but with a low flame when the main burner is alight. The gas which is in the receiver 11 when the cock 2 is put to the `on' position is caused to flow to the pilot jet, which burns with a full flame for a short time longer, to ignite the main burner. Gas for the main burner enters at 3, passes through the bore 4 of the cock, and through the passage 5 to the burner. Gas for the pilot jet enters at 6 and passes through a channel 7 ; part of the gas then passes direct to the pilot jet by a channel 9 controlled by a screw 18, a groove 16 in the cock 2, and a passage 17. The rest passes from the channel 7 through a channel 8, a groove 15 in the cock 2, Fig. 4, a pipe 10, the gas-receiver 11, a pipe 12, the groove 16, and the passage 17. The gas pressure in the receiver 11 lifts a spring-controlled diaphragm 14, and when the gas supply to the pipe 10 and the receiver 11 is cut off by turning the cock 2 to the ' on' position, the gas in the receiver 11 is expelled by the diapbragm 14 and prolongs the supply to the pilot jet. On turning the cock off, the changes take place in reverse order. The cock 2 may be replaced by a slide valve or other suitable device.

Air or water is supplied to the pipe 8 through a stationary pipe 11 and pipes 12, 13 which are rotated with the pipe 8 by means of a wormwheel 24. The perforations 35, Fig. 3, of the pipe 8 are covered by shields 36 having perforations 38 and filled w i t h coarse grit or pebbles. The second pipe 9 has downwardlyprojecting nozzles 10 and is supplied with water through pipes 14, 15, to scour the filtering - material. All the rotating parts are supported on a bearing 21 within a chamber 20, to the upper and lower parts of which the watersupply pipe 14 and the combined unfiltered liquid-supply pipe and wash-water outlet 22 are respectively connected. In a modification, the top of the pipe 12 is slotted and is surrounded by an annular compartment to which the air is supplied. In another modification, the air is supplied to the pipe 8 from a stationary pipe below it. The liquid to be filtered is distributed by a spreader 34. The supporting-floor for the bed is formed of grooved and perforated slabs of vitreous material, and the lining of the filter is constructed as described in Specification 1336/11.

Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 27,333. Boult, A. J., [Hackney, R. H.]. Dec. 6. Cupping. - A machine for drawing and shaping hollow metal articles, for example, bilged barrels, comprises a punch member a of varying diameter or cross-section, an expansible die member b consisting of a series of radiallymovable dies e surrounding the axis of the machine, and means for moving one member axially relatively to the other, means being provided for simultaneously forcing the dies inwards and permitting them to yield outwards according to the varying diameter of the punch member. Bridge blocks i are movably mounted in recesses in the dies flush with their working faces, and span the gaps between the dies when they are separated, the working faces of the dies and bridge blocks being of the form shown in Fig. 8. The dies are pressed inwards by hydraulic cylinders g and plungers h. The punch member is composed of radially-movable sections q, which are connected by bolts r to slotted plates s, t and are expanded into the working position by the tapering core p. The plate s is provided with a cylindrical extension with a flange z serving to limit the movement of the punch member relatively to the core, and is surrounded by an axially-movable pressure ring 2 formed with a flange on which are mounted plungers 3 of hydraulic cylinders 4, the cylinders being movably connected to the flange by guiderods. In operation, a cupped sheet-metal blank is placed on the dies e below the punch member, which is then caused to descend by admitting liquid into the cylinder w. When the plate t reaches the blank the advance of the punch sections q is arrested, and they are moved into the expanded position by the continued advance of the core p. An electro-magnet 15 is employed to hold the plate s against the head u in order to prevent contraction of the punch member. As the upper part of the punch passes the dies e and the blank is contracted, the metal of the blank above the dies is prevented from wrinkling by the pressure ring 2, which is held yieldingly inside the blank by the admission of liquid into the cylinders 4, the upper ends of the cylinder being seated against a ring 8. After the punch has passed completely below the dies the electromagnet is de-energized, allowing the punch to collapse and to be.withdrawn from the barrel.
