Patent GB-190617827-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electrical Signalling Apparatus Serving both as Transmitter and Receiver Operated by Alternating Currents.
Filed: 1906-08-08
Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 17,827. Siemens Bros. & Co , [Siemens & Hulske Akt.-Ges.]. Aug. 8. Order apparatus.-In alternating-current systems of the type in which two armatures in similar alternating fields are arranged in opposition to each other, and any movement of one is reproduced by the action of induced currents at all others in the circuit, the instruments are so constructed that only one at a time can be brought into use as a transmitter in any given circuit. The signal-lever a carries an arm c to which is pivoted at e a pin d influenced by a spring f, its lower end normally fitting in a notch g in a fixed ring h, which, in the zero position, is opposite a notch g<1> in a plate k attached to the armature i. Movement of the handle a draws the pin out of the notch g into the notch g<1>, and hence turns the plate k and the armature i. The armatures of the other instruments in the circuit move in the same manner, each with its pointer l, the notch g<1> being moved away from the notch g and locking the pin therein. This prevents any movement of the handles of the other instruments until the first is returned to the zero position. In a modification, Fig. 3, the pin d is vertically movable and is depressed, by the inclined surface of a recess g, into a recess g<1> in the plate k when the handle a is moved for transmission purposes. The sympathetic motion of the armatures of the other instruments carries the recess g<1> away from the pin, and prevents the instruments from being used for transmitting orders &c. until original conditions are restored.

Facing-tiles.-Tiles having two or more parallel undercut ribs b<1>, Figs, 2, 3, and 4, on the back are secured to a wall, ceiling, hearth, &c. by means of clips e, Fig. 5, which form dovetailed recesses for the reception of the ribs b<1>. The clips may be arranged at the joint between two superposed rows or courses so that each clip engages the edges of two superposed tiles. The adhesion of the tiles may be increased by means of the usual cement backing. When the ribs b<1> do not project beyond the level of the back of the tile, battens f, Fig. 7, may be secured to the wall &c., the clips e being secured to the battens. Fig. 9 shows another form of wall-tile having a central rib b<2> of double the width of the ribs b<1> at the edges, so that, when the tiles are arranged to break joint, the abutting ribs b<1> of adjacent tiles in the same course correspond with the central ribs b<2> of the adjacent tiles in the next courses above and below. The tiles are held against the wall by a framework of wooden bars h or the like until they are firmly secured at the back by cement g and the clips e. The tiles may increase in thickness towards the centre in order to increase their resistance to fracture. The clips may be employed for connecting together a number of tiles to be united to a cement backing by arranging the tiles face downwards upon a surface and floating the cement over their backs. The tiles are moulded by extrusion through a suitably-shaped die.

Title: Improvements in Speed-gears for Cycles
Inventor: SAUNDERS MONTAGU
Filed: 1907-12-24
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 28,361. Saunders, M. Dec. 24. Driving-mechanism.-In variable-speed hub gears for cycles &c. of the kind wherein two sets of interengaging planet-pinions, two corresponding sun-wheels, and a single internally-toothed ring are employed, one sun-wheel 5 is prevented from backward rotation by a one-way clutch between itself and a fixed part, while the other sun-pinion 6, of larger diameter, is arranged to be locked at will to a stationary part or to the carrier, or to be left free. As shown in Fig. I, the planet-pinions 14, 15 are mounted upon the driving-member, the internal ring 3 being connected to the hub by a one-way clutch. The sun-wheel 6 is slotted to carry a sliding clutch member 7, which has end ratchet &c. teeth to engage corresponding teeth upon the carrier and a fixed bearing-cone 9. A one-way clutch is provided between the sun-wheel 5 and a bearing-cone 10. With the parts in the position shown, the hub is driven at low speed, the planet-pinions 15 running round upon the fixed sun-wheel 5. On allowing the sun-wheel clutch 7 to be pressed by a spring 18 into engagement with the carrier, the hub is driven direct, the high speed being obtained by clutching the wheel 6 to the cone 9. To enable the machine to be wheeled backwards when the parts are in the high-speed position, a spring, such as 20, is introduced between the operating-lever and the cross-pin 17. A solid axle may, however, be employed, in which case the clutch-piece 7 is provided with inwardly-projecting pins engaging a groove in a non-rotatable sliding sleeve, mounted upon the axle and controlled by a rotatable sleeve nut. In a modification, the internal wheel is formed on or attached to the sprocket-wheel, the pinion carrier being the opposite end plate of the hub, or a distinct member driving the hub - shell by a one - way clutch. According to the Provisional Specification, (1) to provide the low speed, the sun-wheel 5 may be prevented from backward rotation upon the axle by other means than a one-way clutch ; (2) for the direct drive, the two sun-wheels may be locked together, or the low-speed sun-wheel may be locked to the carrier against backward rotation ; (3) the sliding clutch member may be operated by a lever &c. passing through the bearing-cone or other stationary member.

Title: Improvements in Drop-box Looms.
Filed: 1908-10-22
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 22,389. Smith & Bros., W., and Heyworth, E. Oct. 22. Loom picking- motions; stop-motions; Loose-reed motions.-In drop-box looms, the picking is effected by picking-pins d on slides carried by levers g actuated by cams on the crank-shaft and springs i, which move the pins d into the path of pins h on the picking-shafts, when spring-actuated catches m, normally engaging beneath projections on the guiding-brackets b of the slides, are released from these brackets. Each shuttle-box swell operates a finger s on a shaft q or r, carrying at its other end an arm u<2> acting by means of a spring on a looselymounted arm u, which is moved into position to operate a stud n and free the corresponding catch m, to enable picking to take place, when a shuttle is absent from the active shuttle box at the opposite side of the loom. When the weft-fork motion shaft w<1> is actuated, a bracket z moves a projection x of a spring-actuated vertical rod v from underneath a stationary part y, and stops the loom by means of a plate t and a cranked stud t' connected to the stopping-lever 8. The rod v, which is raised by its spring, carries a foot-lever 2 provided with a rod 3 engaging an arm on the shaft r and abutting against an arm on the shaft q, whereby the picking-motions are also put out of action. In looseread looms, the reed-shaft has an arm 9, which operates the bracket z, if the shuttle fails to cross the race. After the lever 2 has been raised, it may be depressed into normal position by the weaver. Loom take-up motions.-When the rod v is raised, an arm 6 thereon releases the take-up catch 7.
