Patent GB-190807724-A (GB)
Title: Rotary Cylinder Washing Machine.
Filed: 1908-04-07
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 7724. Jensen, C., and Jensen Manufacturing Co. April 7. Washing-machines. - A rotary - cylinder machine consists of a stationary casing within which is a two - chambered cylinder having similar but oppositely-arranged means for causing a flow into one chamber of the cylinder when revolved in one direction, and out of it during the opposite rotation ; the opposite actions take place simultaneously in the other chamber. Within the casing 1 is the cylinder 3, which has two end heads 30, 30<a> and a central head 31 forming the two sections. Upon these heads are spacing- blocks 33 into which fit longitudinal ribs with blades 36<a>, shaped as shown, and projecting beyond the cylindrical wire netting 36 which contains the clothes. A diametrically opposite pair of ribs 34 is extended inwards, and the effect, when the cylinder is moving in one direction, is to lift the clothes within the cylinder and scoop the water up outside it-until high enough to flow between the ribs upon the clothes, which thereupon fall to the lower part of the cylinder, thus producing a rinsing and agitating action. When the cylinder is revolved in the reverse direction, the same action is obtained in the other chamber, but in the former chamber, the flat rear edges of the blades 36<a> engage the water and there is little or no elevation of the clothes, which become washed by the pounding action of the water in the lower part of the vessel.

Patent GB-190818518-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Printing Telegraphs.
Filed: 1908-09-03
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 18,518. Marks, E. C. R., [Burlingame Telegraphing Typewriter Co.]. Sept. 3. Typewriters; type-bar making machines.-(1) In a printing-telegraph having as receiver an ordinary typewriter or a type - bar making machine, the keys of the typewriter are selected by the movement of two or more comb-bars provided with notches so arranged that in any position of the comb-bars relative to one another only one notch on a bar is in line with a notch on the other bar or bars. Each comb-bar may take up under the influence of the line currents, one of six different positions, so that two comb-bars may take up thirty-six different positions relative to one another. Each type-lever carries a rod which rests against the comb-bars, and the rod opposite to which a notch on each comb-bar comes in line falls into these notches, and the corresponding typelever is then depressed to effect printing by an electro-magnetic arrangement. The currents which operate the comb-bars are of both polarities and of three strengths and as many current impulses are sent for each letter as there are comb-bars, i.e. two in the simplest case. The first impulse which comes from line energizes the electro-magnet 36 and causes it to move the comb-bar 38 to the left or right according to the polarity and to an amount corresponding to the strength of the current. This bar is now held in position by a catch, and a way having been prepared to a second magnet 49 by the first impulse, the second impulse effects a similar movement of the comb-bar 50. A local circuit is completed by this last movement through a magnet 56 which removes an obstruction 62<a> to allow the selected rod 63 to fall into the notches. By the movement of the part 62<a> circuit through the printing-magnet 67 is completed. The movement of the rod 63 into the notch having engaged it with the armature 65 of the printing-magnet the printing stroke is effected by the attraction of this armature. The movement of the printing- armature also completes a local circuit to release the comb-bars and to bring all the circuits into their normal state again. (2) The switch for closing the circuit through the carriage-return and line-spacing device is selected in the same manner as are the type-levers. The device may be a solenoid operating the carriage-return and line-spacing mechanism through a cord and system of pulleys, or it may be a small motor and an electro-magnet operating a friction device which connects the motor to the winding-drum, through which the switch closes a circuit. This circuit is preferably broken before the carriage has wholly returned in order to reduce the impact of the carriage on its stop. A form of magnet for operating the combbars is shown in Fig. 3. The core is of the open box type and the polarized armature 36<e> moves between the curved pole pieces.

IPC: H02J7/14
Filed: 1909-06-30
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 15,325. Leitner, H. June 30. Lighting systems.-In a double-battery trainlighting system in which resistance is placed between the two batteries in such a manner that the regulating-battery and the lamps are connected to the dynamo through the resistance, the dynamo is provided with a winding carrying the lamp current hy means of which the discharge of the regulating-battery remains constant. The dynamo g is connected to the load circuit through an automatic cut-out j, the operation of which depends upon the speed of the dynamo, and a switch h. The switch h is operated simultaneously with a switch f arranged to short-circuit either the resistance c or c<1>. In the positions shown, the dynamo g is connected directly to the battery b and through the resistance c to the lamps d, which are also directly connected to the battery a through the switch f. When the dynamo stops or reverses, or at regular intervals, the switches f, h are operated, thereby connecting the lamps d and the battery b through the resistance c' to the dynamo, while the battery a is connected directly to the dynamo g. The output of the regulating-battery is kept practically constant by providing the dynamo field with an extra winding i carrying the lamp current, so that any increase in the lamp load automatically increases the out-put of the dynamo. When the dynamo stops, the contacts k, l are bridged, thereby short-circuiting the resistance c, c<1> and placing the batteries a, b in parallel across the lamp load.
