Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 9541. Gewerkschaft Johannashall, and Meyer, R. April 19. Strainers. - A fixed strainer or grating 4 i n a w a t e r w a y is cleared by means of a rake 2 which is drawn upward over the strainer by a chain and windlass 7 and is guided on its downward movement by a curved track 8 so that it enters the water at a distance from the grating in a flat manner with little disturbance of the water. The windlass 7 is operated by a motor which is temporarily uncoupled to allow the rake to fall. The shock of the fall is lessened by means of springs 16 on guide-bars 1 attached to the ends of the rake. When it passes off the upper end of the strainer, the rake falls against a bar 11 so as to discharge the material collected upon it. Rising further, it lifts levers 10 which serve as guides to direct the rake on its downward course on to the track 8. The windlass 7 is supported, and the bars 1 guided, by a frame having members 14, 20 and which moves on wheels 17 upon a track.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for use in Tabulating or Sorting Statistical or other Data.
Inventor: HOLLERITH HERMAN
Filed: 1911-07-03
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 15,475. Hollerith, H. July 3. Compiling and tabulating statistics mechanically.-Relates to apparatus of the kind in which a card punched according to the data is fed past an electric contact while a selective commutator is simultaneously operated. In the present apparatus the data in any column, or in different columns, may be combined in any way by correspondingly arranging the circuits. The operation is effected thus: -as each characteristic of a unit is isolated, one or more corresponding switches are closed ; when all have been closed, a current is passed to operate the indicating or sorting means. For each column of data there is a brush such as 6, 7 and a commutating-ring 18, 19, the circuits of which include relay magnets 50 ... 55, which hold the circuit closed for a series of relay magnets 56 ... 65 controlling the circuit to the tabulating-magnet 70 ... 75. A main cam 14 only closes the relay circuit while a card is passing, and a cam 85 closes the circuit after a card has passed its final operative position, bringing into uperation at this moment the correct tabulating- counter 70 ... 75 and a sorting-shoot 89 for separating all the cards with the given data. The series relay magnets are connected up so that the magnets for incompatible characteristics are in parallel and the compatible in series. Instead of tabulating counters, the magnets 70 ... 75 may control sorting-guides 100 which are spring-urged until arrested by one of a series of stop-bars 101 ... 106 engaged by latches directly operated by magnets 70 ... 75. A camoperated lever 109 restores the bars to position before the advance of a fresh card. In place of some of the relay magnets, mechanical means may be employed, as for example spring-urged levers 132, Fig. 7, which close the circuits for magnets 136 and are restored to latched position bv a main cam 133. For verification of any sorted set of cards any card with an impossible combination of characteristics is separated by means of an arrangement of the circuits as shown in Fig. 8. In the group illustrated it is supposed impossible that any individual should be a male or under fifteen or over fifty-nine years of age. The contacts 180 ... 189 represent, in order from the bottom, males, females, ages under five years, ages under fifteen years, ages under twenty-five years and so on. Contact 181 for females is closed and the commutator sections corresponding to ages between fifteen and sixty are connected by a conductor 190 and the terminal switch 187 of the series closed. By this connexion a correct card, that is, for a female between fifteen and sixty years, closes contacts 170, 171, Fig. 9, and is thereby dropped into the shoot 195, any other card being Laken in the shoot 196. A cam 192 controls the circuit of the sorting-magnet, and a cam 199 restores the sorting-guide.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Production of Safety Grounds for Documents.
Inventor: PETIT CHARLES GUILLAUME
IPC: B41M3/14
Filed: 1911-09-28
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 21,444. Petit, C. G. Dec. 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Printing in several colours.-Relates to the production of safety grounds for bank-notes, share certificates, &c., by the production of composite designs obtained and printed by half-tone processes. A non-actinic paper or other material is perforated more or less symmetrically to produce a design. The perforations are of different sizes and shapes. This design is used as a negative, and in printing it upon sensitive paper it is separated slightly from the paper by means of an intermediate sheet of glass and is printed through a ground glass, which is periodically removed. The printing-frame also is shifted periodically in order that the images of the perforations may be blurred, and a design or pattern is obtained having a very large range of tones. Alternatively, the printing may be done in diffused light and without the ground glass. The print is then reproduced for the production of printing-blocks, separately through two or more copying line screens of different pattern, and the time of exposure is varied so that one of the blocks may reproduce the whole of the image while the other gives only the dark half-tones and the blacks. The blocks are then printed in different colours to obtain soft and iris-like effects. As alternatives, two or more differently perforated patterns might be used, and the blocks obtained therefrom are printed over the other. The perforated patterns may be replaced by other negatives or designs used in the same way. Borders or other ornamentation may be printed in addition.

Abstract: 25,378. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 5. Coating-machines.-Relates to means for controlling the delivery of cleaning, colouring, or like material to the bristles of a rotary brush for cleaning or coating shoes. The rotary brush is fed from an adjustable tank 3 of liquid by superposed rollers 4, 5 the upper one 5 of which is rotated by contact with the brush. An adjustable plate 9 or the like deflects the bristles when the brush is running idle, so that they miss the roller 5, thus cutting-off the supply of liquid. When the shoe is pressed against the brush, the bristles are deflected so as to miss the plate and contact with the roller. By varying the pressure of the work against the brush, varying deflexions of the bristles are produced which cause corresponding variations in the driving contact between the bristles and the roller 5, thereby varying the rate of rotation of the roller and the supply of liquid to the brush. A centrifugal brake 7 mounted on the shaft of the roller 5 limits the maximum supply of liquid.

Abstract: 5916. Angus, A. R. Feb. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Electrical s y s t e m s, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-Relates to apparatus on a train, which is controlled electrically, normally, by closed circuits on the train and, when the train is in contact with a track ramp and the normally - closed train circuits are mechanically broken thereby, bv circuits completed through the track rails and track apparatus, and which is arranged to give safety signals on the train if the current passing in the circuit partly on the train and partly on the track is of a predetermined value, and to give danger signals and to stop the train if that current is more or less than the predetermined value, as described in Specification 3828/12. According to the invention, a resistance R is provided across the track rails 43, 44, which is included in the signalling circuit of a train in contact with ramp 40 if the line is clear, thus providing a current in that circuit of the predetermined value, and which is shunted if a second train stands upon rails 43, 44, whereby a current of greater than the predetermined value is caused to pass in the signalling circuit and a danger signal is given. On contacting with a ramp 40, a train makes a circuit including only a wire 42, magnet N, wire 47, rail 43, wire 48, contact 50, wire 45, and rail 49. The magnet N is energized thereby, the circuit is broken at 50, and a new circuit is made from the rail 43 through contacts 51, and the resistance R to the rail 44. Then, if R is not short-circuited by a second train, a safetysignalling current passes, and otherwise a danger-signalling current. The track ramp 41 is higher than the ramp 40 and breaks the normally-closed train-carried circuits controlling the train - stopping gear, which is thereupon operated unless a current of the predetermined strength passes through the circuit made through the ramp.
