Patent GB-190404299-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Clocks
Inventor: ANDERSSON JOEL DANIEL
Filed: 1904-02-20
Granted: 1905-02-20
Abstract: 4299. Andersson, J. D. Feb. 20, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Winding-mechanism.-The winding ratchet-wheel f is operated by the oscillation of an armature a on an arbor b between the poles of electromagnets c, and in order to have contacts which are continually kept free from oxide it is arranged that the make and break of the circuit shall occur between the ratchet-wheel and the driving-pawl, the former being insulated from the framework of the clock but connected through an insulated spring m. To this end, the pawl, a hooked spring e, is upon a pivoted arm d on the armature, and in one arrangement an external arm l is provided which, acting as a strut against the bevelled end p of the pivoted arm, normally keeps the pawl clear of the wheel. When, as on the clock striking, a detent k is disengaged from the toe i of the armature, this drops a little so that the pawlbearing arm is under the external arm, and the pawl engages, completing the circuit. In each oscillation the pawl-arm d, being kept in its relative position on the armature by a pin h, sweeps past the external arm, but when finally the detent re-engages the armature, the pawl-arm is against the external arm. In another arrangement, the external arm is replaced by an arm nearly radial to the ratchet-wheel, the end of which masks the tooth under the pawl. To prevent sparking, a wire n terminating a resisting-shunt has contact with the ratchet-wheel till the pawl has broken contact. Striking-mechanism.-Usually the detent k of the winding-mechanism is also the rack-hook, and the external arm l is the tail of the striking-hammer. In this case, the pawl-arm d, somewhat differently shaped, may make and break the circuit at the external arm.

AÙrial machines with aÙrostats ; aÙrostats ; propelling and steering.-An air ship is supported by two cylindrical balloons each consisting of a framework and fabric enclosing a number of inflatable gas bags 17. Each end of each balloon is flattened so that it acts to some extent as an aeroplane. Each balloon also has a flat face on the side facing the other balloon. The fabric on the lower sides of the balloons is made impermeable in order that the air ship may float if it descends on to water. The framework of each balloon consists of longitudinal tubes 1, hoops 2, and partitions 3 formed by a number of concentric hoops and radial spokes. The flat faces are reinforced by tubes 5, 6, 7 braced by vertical members 8 and inclined rods 9. The two faces are connected by transverse tubes 10, 11, 12 braced by inclined rods 13, and the car 14 is suspended from beams 15 fixed to the tubes 12. The gas bags 17, when empty, are supported on perforated tubes 19, 20, which connect them all together for inflating. They are made large enough to fill the frames without becoming stretched. Canvas 18 under the bags can be tightened more or less to vary the size of the bags when inflated. Flaps or shutters 21 carried by the tubes 10 act automatically as a parachute or aeroplane when descending, or may be closed at will. Propellers 22, 25 actuated by separate motors 27, 28 are arranged at the front and rear of the space between the balloons. Horizontal rudders are placed behind each propeller, and a vertical rudder 32 behind the rear propeller.
