Title: A Method of Measuring and Recording the Intensity of Sounds, and Apparatus therefor.
IPC: G01H3/00
Filed: 1910-11-30
Abstract: 27,889. Julius Pintsch Akt. - Ges. Dec. 10, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Thermal and electromagnetic current meters for measuring electric variations produced by sound. In one arrangement, a microphone receiving the sound is connected in series with a telephone receiver shunted by a resistance, which is adjusted until no sound can be heard in the receiver, the amount of the resistance being taken as a measure of the intensity of the sound. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the microphone Mi is in circuit with the primary of a transformer J, the current from which heats a thermo-electric couple Th, a continuous current being thus produced through a shunted current meter A; a condenser C prevents passage of the continuous current through the transformer. In another modification, the current from the transformer heats a bolometer, the resistance of which is measured by a bridge. Otherwise the measuring-circuit may include a counter electromotive force and a current meter, or a current rectifier and a meter may be used. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the microphone Mi is in circuit with a thermo-electric couple and a current meter A, the effect being balanced by an alternating- current potentiometer B, connected through a condenser C.

Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 18,303. Wolf, J. Sept. 12. Blowing.-Relates to a modification of the machine described in Specification 9726/09 for making glass bottles &c. In the machine described two blowing moulds operate in conjunction with one parison mould. The finishing moulds are mounted on a rotating table and the parison remains stationary in the inverted position, the parison being transferred by hand from the parison mould to the finishing mould. The machine is operated almost entirely by pneumatic power controlled by two cocks 131, 157. The halves of the parison mould are attached to pivoted arms 100, 101. Beneath it is arranged a rotating carrier 18, Figs. 2 and 4, in which are mounted four sliding plungers 19. The carrier 18 is rotated about its shaft 17 one fourth of a revolution after the formation of each blank. The plungers 19 are raised in turn by a rod 31. The metal is drawn into the neck mould by suction. The blank is partly blown in the parison mould, a bottom 58, Fig. 4, being pressed on to the parison mould during this blowing. The finishing moulds are mounted on a rotating table 5, Figs. 2 and 7, and are opened and closed by levers 215, 216, 217, 218. The blowing heads 203 are mounted above the finishing moulds and are brought down by pneumatic pressure in the cylinders 200. The blank is removed from the parison mould by means of the neck mould which is placed in a clip 206, Fig. 7, so that the partly blown parison hangs downwards. The finishing mould is then closed round it, the blowing head is brought down and the bottle is blown as usual. The table 5 rotates half a revolution so as to bring the other finishing mould into position ready to receive the next blank.

Abstract: 23,398. Cairns, J. T. Oct. 24. Hinges readily separable about hinge pin; joint pins.-In a coupling for connecting side-cars to motor-cycles, a spring-controlled plunger on one coupling-member is arranged to operate in conjunction with an inclined recess or slot and a hole in the other member. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, a spigot A, secured by a clamp a', a<2> to the motor-cycle, is formed with a hole a<4> and an inclined slot a' to engage a spring-controlled plunger upon the socket portion B of the coupling the plunger being carried by a bracket c. which slides upon a stud c' under the control of the spring c and can be operated by a handle c' for releasing the coupling. The arrangement may, however, be reversed, the inclined and recessed surface being in the socket and the plunger carried by the spigot. In a modification, the plunger is slidably mounted in a forked bracket and is formed with a part of enlarged diameter to drop into the hole after riding up inclined surfaces at the sides of a slot leading to the hole. In order to make the joint rigid, the nut c<4> may be screwed down until the coils of the spring are pressed into contact with each other. According to the Provisional Specification, the socket portion may terminate in a recessed portion to fit over the frame member of the motor-cycle and be provided with a cap which is bolted to the recessed part to clamp the socket to the machine. The cap projects bevond the mouth of the socket and is formed with an inclined surface which is slotted to receive the shank of the spring-controlled plunger and recessed or countersunk towards the inner or closed end of the slot to receive an enlargement or projection on the plunger.

Abstract: 25,106. Low, A. M. Nov. 11. Differential speed indicators.-In apparatus for indicating the average speed of a vehicle &c. during the interval that has elapsed since the instrument was re-set, the index-hand is adapted to be urged in one direction by a clock and in the other by the vehicle, both forces being applied through spiral springs and being proportional to the time and to the distance respectively. Motion from the clock is communicated to the shaft d of the index-hand through a gear-wheel h, a clutch i, and a spiral spring k, of which one end is secured to the clutch i and the other to the shaft d. A vehicle-driven shaft m tends to produce rotation in the opposite direction through worm gearing, a clutch s, and a spiral spring u. The shaft d is mounted in a bearing e carried by a bracket f, endlong movement of the shaft being prevented so that, on a given torsion being attained in one or both of the springs u, k, with corresponding axial shortening, the clutch parts are separated against the pressure of a spring w. The dial is graduated to correspond with the period over which the observation is to be taken, a number of circles corresponding thereto being marked on the dial, as shown in Fig. 3, and numbered 1 ... 6. The minimum speed indicated is ten miles per hour, a stop b<1> preventing movement of the pointer below that point. From the line 1 is drawn a series of lines corresponding to the speeds 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 50 miles per hour, the speed at any time being determined by the position of the pointer with regard to the time and the speed curves. A pivoted fork v is provided to disengage the clutches at the end of the period.

Abstract: 11,874. Bazika, E. May 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Projectile fuses.-Relates to percussion fuses armed by centrifugal force and acting with delay on impact, and consists (1) in constructing the safety in the form of a spiral coil of metal, and (2) in providing a rebound spring to produce a delay depending upon the strength of the impact. The firing-members E. B are kept apart by the coil C until after discharge when the coil unwinds; on impact the coil slips into a space a and can no longer return to the safety position. The front member E is subjected to the action of a rebound spring D. initially compressed or uncompressed, which resists a light impact and thus produces little or no delay but yields to a strong impact and then after some delay throws the member E back and fires the fuse. The rear member B may be fixed as shown in Fig. 1 or movable as shown in Fig. 3, in which case a partition F' acts as an abutment for the front member E.
