Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 12,748. Boult, A. J., [Denio General Electric Co.]. May 26. Fire-alarm systems and apparatus.-A fire-alarm transmitter, for sending a code signal over telephone wires to an exchange, is mechanically associated with a device, which may be of a microphonic nature, for varying the resistance of the circuit during the transmission of each impulse. A fire - alarm signal impulse is thus made audibly distinguishable from currents due to faults &c., and the exchange operator can, without listening to a full round of the signal, at once connect the signalling-line to the fire head-quarters. The code-wheel 1, Fig. 1, when released, intermittently bridges the telephone circuit e, f, energizing the call - relay H and lamp h<4>. The operator plugs in and listens, and then substitutes for the plug a, a<1> the plug k', l<1>, connecting the line e, f to relay M at the fire head-quarters, which relays the subsequent code-impulses to a recorder N. The currentmodifying device is shown at 15, and consists of a casing containing carbon granules and carried by an arm from the code-wheel frame 6. One side of the casing is closed by a diaphragm 16 carrying an arm 17 held in tension by a coiled spring. In a modified construction, a spring contact in the signal circuit bears on a carbon disk, mounted loosely on the escapement-wheel shaft of the code-wheel mechanism. In a further modification, the escapement device 4 operates the hammer of a bell, and a microphone mounted on the bell-pillar transmits the sound vibrations to line.

Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 29,051. Hess, L. F., and Myers, J. M. Dec. 23. Coal-cutting machines. - In a cutter-bar machine, the rotating cutter-bar is reciprocated by mechanism carried on a countershaft rotated by the cutter-shaft, and can be fed into and withdrawn from the working face. A conveyer removes debris to the rear of the machine. The machine casing 1 comprises a central chamber containing the mechanism shown in Fig. 2, and two side chambers each containing that shown in Fig. 3. The cutter-bar 31 is carried by a shaft 23 rotating in bearings 29, 16 which slide on inclined rails 12. The bearings 16 are secured to the motor casing 14. A motor 20 drives a pinion 21 meshing with a spur-wheel 22 which rotates, but does not prevent the reciprocation of, the shaft 23, a groove in the hub of the wheel carrying balls engaging a groove 26 in the shaft. A worm 32 on the shaft drives a worm-wheel 34 carrying cranks with connecting-rods 40, which reciprocate the bearing 29, and therefore the cutterbar. To feed the machine along the working face, a pawl 75, Fig. 7, on the bearing 29, turns a ratchet-wheel 73 on the shaft of which is a sprocket-wheel engaging a chain passing from end to end of the working face. Fig. 3 shows the conveyer and the means for moving the cutter-bar longitudinally. This mechanism is in duplicate, one on each side of the machine. A chain 50 passes over sprocket - wheels 49, one of which can be held stationary by a hand brake 66 and drives a conveyer 46. A sprocket-wheel 51 fast on the shaft of the worm-wheel 34 is engaged with either the upper or lower run of the chain bv connected links 61, crank 58, link 56, and Y-lever 53. When the wheel 49 is held stationary, the wheel 51 travels along the chain and advances or retracts the cutter-bar. When the wheel 49 is free, the wheel 51 drives the chain 50 and, therefore, the conveyer 46. The cutter-bar, Fig. 8, has a spiral rib, the front face of which carries cutters. At the end of the cutter-bar is a bit 88. The spiral rib on the cutter-bar draws debris through a front opening 10 in the machine casing, whence it passes by openings 11 into the two side compartments and is pushed up the conveyer slides 47 to the rear of the machine. The machine casing is mounted on two castor-wheels at the front and one at the back, the latter being vertically adjusted by means of a hand-wheel 86.
