Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Clocks.
Inventor: RUSHTON THOMAS
IPC: G04C1/02
Filed: 1913-04-29
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 10,100. Rushton, T. April 29. Electric clocks; winding-apparatus, electric.-In a clock in which the driving-spring is automatically wound by means of an electro-magnet having a vibrating armature, when the spring is sufficiently wound, a worm-spindle 6, which is geared to the winding wheel 1 on the barrel, shifts longitudinally against the action of an independent spring 8, and thus breaks the circuit of the winding-device either directly or indirectly. As shown in Fig. 1, the end 9 of the worm-spindle, preferably formed with facets, may form one of the contacts. The circuit being completed through the pairs of contacts 9, 10 and 16, 17, the armature 14 of the electro-magnet 13 is vibrated, winding-up the driving-spring through a pawl 21, or a pair of pawls, acting on a wheel 7 on the worm-spindle. The increasing tension of the mainspring ultimately causes the rotating spindle 6 to move longitudinally and break the circuit at the contacts 9, 10. When the spring has run down to a certain extent, the spring 8 restores the spindle to the circuit-closing position, and the winding action occurs again. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which, instead of the worm-spindle 6 making contact directly, the contact-members consist of a cam 22 on the spindle 6 and a spring or spring-pressed arm 23 having a notch 24 adapted to engage with the end of the spring 8. In a further arrangement, the contacts consist of co operating spring members acted upon by a cam upon the spindle 3 or other suitable spindle in the winding-gear.

Granted: 1914-06-29
Abstract: 12,428. Vaugel, V. von. May 28. Stencil switches.-In switches of the type comprising an intermittently rotated contact drum and a set of reciprocating contacts adapted to make various combinations of circuits, the operating mechanism is such that the reciprocating contact-carrier is retracted during the feeding movements of the drum and returns quickly at the end of the retractive movement. The various circuit combinations are obtained by an arrangement of holes or pits in the surface of the drum so that no contact is made at these points. The drum b mounted on standards a is attached to a ratchet-wheel c driven by a pinion e on a shaft i coupled through bevel-wheels to a continuously rotating shaft m. A guided bar g carrying slidablymounted contacts h is intermittently raised by the ratchet teeth acting on oblique-ended pins f, the bar falling quickly under the pressure of springs v when the points of the teeth pass the pins. The various subsidiary circuits, connected through the springs v to the contacts h, are closed where the contacts come down on the plain surface of the drum, and are left dead where the contacts come down over holes u. The main or supply lead r is connected to terminals on the standards a and through them to the surface of the drum. Lamps or other devices are connected in the various subsidiary circuits.

Granted: 1914-09-03
Abstract: 9636. Marks, E. C. R., [Zahm Manufacturing Co.]. April 18. Bottles, disinfecting. --Bottles, after being cleaned, are subjected to a sterilizing process before being re-used, during which they are passed through a bath of heated water and are subjected to preliminary air-heating and final air-cooling. As shown in Fig. 1, the bottles are placed in the pockets of inclined carriers mounted on endless chains and are carried through the tank 2 so as to fill with liquid during the downward run and become emptied on the upward run. As the bottles emerge below the wall 23, they slide out of the carriers on to a table 24. A fan 25 draws air through the conduit 11 to cool the emerging bottles, and delivers it through the passages 3 in a partition of the tank. The air, thus heated, mixes with vapour rising from the tank. and the mixture is delivered down the conduit 10 to heat the entering bottles. The water is delivered to the tank by a pipe 7 and is heated by perforated steam-pipes 50. The emerging bottles may be cooled further by a water spray 33.

Granted: 1915-06-24
Abstract: 17,691. Ruckstuhl, J. J. July 27. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing is arranged with a view to returning to its source power taken from an element that is braked. Planetary gears F, E secured together and carried by a casing C mesh respectively with a gear G fast on a driving-shaft A and with a gear H upon a loose sleeve I. The sleeve I carries a friction cone K adapted to engage a drum L fast on the shaft A. The casing C being secured to a driven shaft B tends to lag behind, so that the gear H and cone K tend to rotate faster than the drum L. The speed is regulated by allowing the cone K to slip upon the drum L, and the braking action tends to accelerate the driving-shaft. In a modification, the casing C is loose, and the shaft B is driven through an additional gear pair.

Granted: 1915-08-19
Abstract: 18,867. Magrath, H. J. Aug. 20. Liquids, purifying; filtering-media, regenerating. -A cylinder 10 containing zeolitic material for softening and sterilizing water, which is supplied through a cock 29 and perforated pipe 15 and is discharged through a pipe 16, is fitted with a device for supplying a regenerating-solution and washing-water, controlled by cocks 27, 28, which are connected to the cock 29 so that they cannot be opened unless the cock 29 is closed. The regenerating-solution is prepared in a tank, which may be made of earthenware, divided by a vertical partition 19 having perforations 23, into two compartments 17, 18, one of which is supplied with water through a ball-cock 21, and the other of which contains a grid 24 on to which a solid regenerating - salt, such as sodium chloride or potassium permanganate, is placed. When the cocks 27, 28 are opened, water passes from the compartment 17, through the compartment 18 and through the zeolites, and is discharged from a nozzle 36. The stream of water serves first to dissolve the salt in the compartment 18 and carry the solution through the zeolites, and later to wash out the excess of the solution. A by-pass tube 30, Fig. 2, may be used to dilute the regenerating-solution. The valves 27, 28, 29 are interlocked either by a cam - disk with grooves into which the stems of the valves project, or by a screw - down stem of the valve 29 connected through springs to the stems of the valves 27, 28 so that the first movements of the stem serve to close the valve 29 and further movement serves to open the valves 27, 28.
