Title: Improvements in Target Apparatus for use with Cinematographs
Inventor: BATES BENJAMIN WILLIAM
IPC: F41J9/14
Filed: 1911-12-27
Granted: 1912-12-27
Abstract: 29,083. Bates, B. W., Kelly, H. W., and Corbin, D. H. Dec. 27. [Cognate Application, 9363/12] Sound, controlling apparatus by.-Kinematograph targets are arranged so that apparatus thrown into action by sound - waves from a rifle &c. acting on a microphone or the like stops the kinematograph machine when a shot is fired. Means are provided for ensuring that the picture-projecting device will stop with a complete picture displayed on the screen. When a shot is fired, sound-waves enter a microphone 14 in circuit with a battery 17 and a primary coil 16 of a transformer, and a relay 18, 19, of the kind described in Specifications 10,856/11 and 5950/12, [both in Class 40(iii), Telegraphs, Electric], in the secondary circuit of the transformer, breaks a circuit 22 containing a battery 23 and electro-magnets 24 thereby releasing an armature 25, which is pulled down by a spring against the contacts 27, 28 and completes the following circuits, namely, (a) through electro-magnets 3, 10 controlling the brake 5 acting on a drum 2 on the heater shaft 1 of the kinematograph machine and an armature stop lever 11, (b) through a solenoid 49 with a core 50 which carries a sliding contact-maker 42 and a piston 61 working in a dash-pot 51, and (c) through an electro-magnet 29 which holds the armature down until the circuit is broken by the core 50 striking a pin 60, which separates the spring contacts 35, 36. When the kinematograph is working normally, a circuit is completed from the battery 30 through the wires 31, 32, a frame.33, the armature 25, contact 39, wire 40, contacts 42, 41. wire 43, spring 44, insulated ring 45, a coil of an electro-magnetic friction driving-clutch 12, 13, and back to the battery by the wire 48. To ensure the stopping of the kinematograph when a complete picture is on the screen, the circuit through the electro-magnet 3 is completed when a wipe-contact projection 6 on the brake drum 2 is opposite a spring contact 7. In the event of the projection over-running the contact 7, the circuit through the electro-magnets 3 is completed through a spring contact-piece 9 on the armature 4 coming in contact with a pillar 8 connected to the battery, and a spring arm 13<Î>, Fig. 3, on the brake drum comes in contact with the stop-lever 11.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Automatically Closing Gas Pipes.
Inventor: LUDWIG FIECHTL
IPC: F16K17/00
Filed: 1912-07-10
Abstract: 16,123. Fiechtl, L., and Breuning, R. March 8, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act. [Application for Patent of Addition to 24,927/11.] Valves controlled from a distance.-Consists in an improvement in the valve device described in the parent Specification for automatically closing gas pipes when the gas supply fails or is cut off and whereby the gas-pipe is not opened by the restoration of the gas supply but only by a manual operation at the said valve device. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a chamber e, with a central partition k and side passages c, f, is formed within the plug of the usual gas cock d; a pin valve i within this chamber closes at the bottom the gas-discharge opening h when the gas has been cut off or has failed. When the pressure is restored, it acts on a piston-like disk i<1> and holds the valve closed. The manual operation required to open the valve consists in turning the plug so that the valve i falls by gravity to the opposite end of the chamber e, and then turning back the plug quickly so that the valve i is sustained in the open position by the flow of the gas, as indicated by the arrows. A pin l guides the valve i in its upper position. The valve i may be disposed axially within the plug. Fig. 6 shows the valve i used independently of a plug cock with a manually-operated opening pushpin n. Fig. 7 illustrates a form of the device in which a ball valve i replaces the pin valve shown in Fig. 1.

The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the following modifications which form the subject-matter of Specification 13,918/13. Both the electrodes may be immersed in water, all but their ends being covered by an insulating-shield. The electrode through which the water is supplied may be rotated within the other wheel-like electrode. The spark-gap may be in the form of two concentric tubes, the water being fed either through the inner tube or between the outer tube and a partition separating the two tubes. One of the tubular electrodes may be closed by a pressure chamber. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 18,717. Guillot, C., and Basset, P. Aug. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Variable-speed and reversing friction gearing comprises a disk B, Fig. 1, adapted to be moved automatically to vary the speed between a pair of driving-rollers A', A<2> and a pair of driven rollers C<1>, C<2>. The rollers C<1>, C<2> are pressed together against the disk B by a spring Wand links b, c, d, and the arrangement is such that as the disk B is moved to vary the speed, the inward thrust of these rollers upon the disk is automatically regulated. As applied to a motor-vehicle, the rollers C<1>, C<2> are connected through separate inclined shafts a<1>, a<2> and bevel-gearing V, X to the driving road wheels, which are thus driven without balance gearing. The rollers A<1>, A<2> are drawn together by a spring Z, and their shafts Y<1>, Y<2> may be driven in opposite directions by separate connecting-rods attached to each piston-rod of the motor. The disk B turns on a shaft carried on brackets D<1>, D<2>, which are connected through links F, G to a nut E on a screwed shaft H shown also in Figs. 3 and 4. A spindle N driven by the motor carries a cam M, which continually oscillates a sleeve I loose upon the shaft H, Oppositely-acting pawls J, J<1>, Fig. 4, may be brought alternatively into gear with a toothed wheel H' fast on the shaft H so as to turn that shaft in one or the other direction and so operate the nut E. A governor carried by the spindle N acts through a pin O, Fig. 1, a spring-pulled lever P, and a link R upon a notched bar L, Fig. 3, which controls the pawls J, J'. To effect reversal, the motor is slowed down, whereupon the governor slides the disk B to the low-gear configuration shown in Fig. 1. Operation of a lever T moves the rollers C<1>, C<2> simultaneously outwards into gear with reversedriving cones U<1>, U<2>.
