Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Apparatus.
Inventor: WILMOTTE LOUIS
Filed: 1908-10-17
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 22,002. Wilmotte, L. Oct. 17. [Patent of Addition to No. 8845, A.D. 1908:] No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid.)

Patent GB-190903854-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Winding Devices more particularly for use with Time Switches, Meters, and the like.
IPC: G04C1/02
Filed: 1909-02-16
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 3854. Reason, H. F., and Reason Manufacturing Co. Feb. 16. Electric clocks; winding-apparatus, electric.- Relates to clock-work for time-switches &c., in which the rewinding of a closely-coiled driving- spring is effected by the movement of the weighted core of a solenoid. This solenoid is electrically connected, either in series or in parallel, with a second solenoid vertically below it, an automatic make-and-break switch being provided by contact-pieces on the adjacent ends of the respective cores. A ratchet-wheel 9, connected with the driving-spring by gearing, engages with a pawl 8 on a pivoted lever 7, which i is connected to the solenoid core 11 having a weight 13 at its upper end. The weighted core is thereby normally supported in the position shown in Fig. 1, until, when the resistance of the mainspring has sufficiently diminished on account of loss of power in driving the clockwork, the weighted core 11 descends, rotating the ratchet-wheel 9 bv means of the lever and pawl. When an insulated contact-piece 14 on the plunger 11 touches the head of the core 16 of the lower solenoid, the circuit of the solenoids is completed through slidable arms 20 and flexible connectors 22, and, by the energizing of the coils, the cores are moved upwards together, the pawl 8 slipping over the teeth of the ratchet-wheel. The arrangement is such that the core 16 reaches a position of equilibrium in the solenoid 15 before the upward movement of the core 11 has finished, whereupon the circuit is broken, and the core 16 at once drops to its lowest position, in which it is supported by a cross-pin 17. Repetition of this' oscillatory movement of the plunger 11, by which winding of the mainspring is effected, then takes place, by virtue of the friction between the coils of the spring, until the resistance of the spring is again sufficient to hold up the weighted plunger. Specification 353/09, [Class 38 (v), Electric switches &c.], is referred to.
Patent GB-190904897-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Weighing Machines.
Inventor: MEYER HEINRICH WILHELM
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1909-02-27
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 4897. Meyer, H. W. Feb. 27. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to the type of machine described in Specification 16,368/08, in which a slight rotary movement of the weighing-receptacle 5 operates a lever 7 and partly closes the feed-valve 4, and, when the full weight has been supplied, the sinking of the receptacle causes the final cut-off. The receptacle sinks into trunnion bearings 9 and rotates in an anti-clockwise direction to discharge the contents. The present invention consists in providing a device for retaining the receptacle in an inverted position sufficiently long to enable the contents to discharge. During rotation, a pin 10 on the receptacle enters the groove 11 in a U-shaped lever 12, and is retained between a jaw 13 thereon and a spring-pressed bent lever 14, connected thereto by a pivoted link 23. The lever 12 is thereby raised into the position shown, but gradually sinks to its original position, allowing the pin 10 to escape and the receptacle to complete its rotation into the filling position again. The sinking of the lever 12 is retarded by a propeller 16 driven bv a train of wheels and a fixed sector 28. The vibration produced by the shock of the pin 10 against the pivoted lever 14 is damped by a spring 20.

Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 1480. Greeves, J. & T. M., and Shaw, P. Jan. 20. Heckling-machines. - In machines of the type described in Specification 13,699/03, in which the flax - holders are moved continuously through the machine and in which the heckle bars are moved endways in slides on the carrying - leathers, to follow the movement of the holders, the reciprocation of the heckle bars is obtained from camsurfaces arranged in such a way that their inclination can be adjusted to give a slower or quicker traverse. The ends of the heckle bars engage a cam-surface D pivoted at its upper end to a bracket d and connected at the other end, through a link d<1> and lever d<2> fixed on a shaft d<3>, to a lever E pivoted to a quadrant bracket e. The lever E has an extension e<1>, which moves over a scale on the bracket e graduated to correspond with the various change-wheels w<2> which may be used to vary the speed of the heckle sheets in accordance with the fibres being treated. The cam-surface D is connected bv a link d<4> to a corresponding surface D<1> at the other end of the machine, arranged to give the return movement of the bars. In addition, surfaces D<2>, D<3> are arranged to operate the bars on the other heckle sheet, and are connected by a lever d<6> and link d<5> to the shaft d<3>. The lever E is connected by a link e<3> to the.pivoted bracket W<2>, which carries the change-wheel w<2>, so that, when the lever E is moved to alter the inclination of the cam surfaces, the bracket W<2> is also moved into such a position that only the particular change-wheel which gives the desired speed can be inserted. The adjustment of the cam surfaces may be made to depend on the speed of the holders passing through the machine, the speed of the heckle sheets remaining constant. The cam surfaces may be arranged so that the traverse of the heckle bars occupies the whole of the time of the descent, the return movement taking place during the ascent. To ensure as small a radius as possible for the throw of the heckle pins as they pass over the top rollers, auxiliary bars C', Fig. 4, are secured to leathers H, and pieces G are attached to the backs of the bars C' to form, with the bars C, guides for the heckle bars in the same plane as the surface of the leathers.

Abstract: 4101. Sensenschmidt, M., [Firm of], and Kaiser, E. Feb. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Dating railway tickets; stopping and like arrangements; printing-surfaces.-Means are provided in a ticket-dating press, of the kind having a swinging type-holder 3 and platen 1, to prevent its operation unless a correct central type be inserted. The type is held in position by a slide 6, on the face of which is a projection 4 having wards 8, 10, 12, 14, which, when the slide is moved forward, engage with corresponding slots in the control type 16. In the absence of this control type, a spring 20, Fig. 4, presses the remaining type sideways, so as to foul the wards, and the slide 6 can then not be pushed into its closed position. The projecting portion 5 engages, when the slide is moved back, with the space 18 between the parts 1, 3, and prevents the operation of the stamp. In a modification, the portion 5 is omitted, and the slide 6 operates locking-pins through a cam and rod to lock the swinging type-holder until the control type is in correct position. The control type 16 is formed integral with the type for printing the "return" mark on the tickets, as shown in Figs. V. and VI. A sliding wedge impression adjustment is shown in Fig. 1. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a modification in which, in addition to the date type, a pivoted line of type may be used, and a projection on the control type pushes the line into place while it is being inserted. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1910-06-29
Abstract: 15,627. Kl÷nne, A., [Firm of]. Nov. 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Ratchet and like step-by-step elevators.-Hoisting in mine shafts is performed in stages by means of carriers which move between one stage and the next. The shaft is divided into a number of stages and also vertically into two compartments, one for ascending loaded trucks, and the other for descending empty trucks. Above each stage is a pulley a, over which passes a rope b to two carriers c guided on bars d. The pulleys are suitably driven to raise and lower the carriers through the distance between two stages. At the bottom of the shaft and at each stage are provided movable platforms e, on which the carriers deposit the trucks. The trucks are hoisted in the following manner. A loaded truck is lifted from the platform by the lowest upwardly moving carrier, and is deposited on the next higher platform. Meanwhile, in the other compartment, an empty truck is lowered through one stage. The pulley is then rotated on the reverse direction and the carriers returned, after which the first operation is repeated. The pulleys are geared together so that the same movements are made by the carriers in each stage.
