Granted: 1905-06-08
Abstract: 2325. Bates, E. G. Feb. 6, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Embossing; printing-surfaces. - Relates to cutting, perforating, indenting, or embossing devices for locking up in printing- formes, for perforating &c. during the printing operation. the bar 1, Fig. 3, carrying the cutting &c. devices 2 is arranged to slide transversely between the plates 6, 7, Fig. 7, forming with the base 8 a suitable casing. A longitudinally-sliding operating-bar 17, the motion of which is controlled by pins 19, has cam-surfaces 15, 16, which engage with surfaces 13, 14 respectively, to move the bar 1 out or in. In its outward or working position, the bar 1 rests on the faces 11 of the bar 17 ; in its inward position, the perforating, embossing, &c. surfaces are clear of the inking-rollers. Pins 9, working in short transverse slots, control the motion of the bar 1. The mechanism is formed in units, so that a line of perforations &c. of any desired length can readily be built up. The operating-bar 17 of each unit projects at one end from the casing, and has a hook 22 which may engage with a similar hook on the other end of the bar of an adjacent unit, or with a projection on a pivoted toothed wheel 32 in the operating-head casing. The end of the casing of the adjacent unit is fitted into a slot in the casing 25 of the operating-head 26 and held there by a pin in a hole 38. The head 26, Fig. 5, has stems 27, the motion of which is controlled by pins 29, and is normally pressed outwards by a spring 30. A small rack, fixed to the head and engaging with the toothed wheel 32, keeps the cutting &c. devices normally in their retracted position ; but, when the head 26 is pressed inwards by the platen, the cutting &c. devices are brought into their operative position. For perforating in lines, the bars 1 may be fitted with annular archshaped cutters 2, Fig. 7, which have oblique cutting-edges and are mounted in sockets communicating with a groove 3 to facilitate removal. These cutters form semicircular perforations without removing any paper. A stripping-bar 40 is used to press the sheets away from the cutters after perforation. It is normally projected beyond the cutters by springs, and its movement is limited by stop pins engaging with the guiding- stems 41.

Title: Improved Means for "Tuning" Hertzian-wave Receivers to Particular Transmitters.
Inventor: HUELSMEYER CHRISTIAN
Filed: 1905-04-20
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 8511. H³lsmeyer, C. April 20. Wireless telegraphy and signalling.-Relates to means for enabling a Hertzian-wave receiver to respond to a particular transmitter only, and is applicable to telegraphy, to the control at a distance of bells, clockwork, lamps, motors for railway barriers or signals &c., or to the firing of mines. Figs. 1 and 2 show the apparatus at the transmitting and receiving stations respectively. When the key A' is depressed, the circuit of the battery A<2> is closed through the primary winding of the coil A<9>, the electro-magnet A<8>, detent A<5>, and the arm A <3>. The detent being withdrawn by the electro-magnet, the arm A<3> commences to rotate. The radiation from the oscillator and antenna A<13> is received by the antenna B<1> and coherer B' with the result that the electro-magnet B4 is energized and the arm B<5> released. The arms A<3>, B<5> are rotated at the same speed by suitable mechanism. When the arm A<3> reaches a contact-stud A<15> adjustably mounted on the scale A, a second radiation is emitted, and at any station at which at this moment the arm B<5> is on the contact B<9> the signal will be received by the circuit B<10>, B<11>. At other stations no such signal is received. If any disturbing radiations are received while the arm is in motion over the contacts B<12>, the electro-magnet B<13> is energized and the contact B<9> put out of action. It is returned by the action of the arm B<5> on the tail of the pawl B". In order to render the receiving-apparatus portable, the sides of the box or casing enclosing the apparatus are filled in with plates of insulating-material in which the receiver wires D, Figs. 3 and 4, are mounted. The wires meet at the common inlet D<1>, from which they pass to the coherer. The other terminal of the coherer is connected to the base-plate, which serves as earth.

Title: Improvements in Electric Train Lighting Systems.
Inventor: BLISS WILLIAM LORD
Filed: 1905-04-27
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 8929. Bliss, W. L. April 27, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Lighting, systems of; regulating.-In lighting trains by electricity, a generator which may be driven from one of the car axles, supplies mains carried along the train ; each car has lamps in parallel with a storage battery across the mains and apparatus for automatically regulating the output of the generator to a limit sufficient to charge the batteries and to light the lamps simultaneously, and for keeping meanwhile the working voltage of the lamps constant and independent of the speed of train. The Figure shows the diagrammatic arrangement with two cars, each provided with automatic regulators. One of the mains 4 from the generator 1 is doubled back as at 3. The regulator consists of a dynamo having two armatures 21, 22 and a field winding 23 placed in series with a battery 9 so as to be excited by the excess charging-current passing through the battery. The dynamo is driven by a shunt motor 24, 25, placed in the car circuit in series with the field winding 23. The armature 21 is connected in series with the field winding 2 of the main generator, preferably by means of rollers upon the rail. The armature 22 is in circuit with the lamps. Until the train reaches a certain speed, the regulators are caused to remain inoperative and the lamps to be fed only by the storage battery through the action of an automatic switch having a core 20 surrounded partly by a fine-wire coil 18 in shunt across the car mains 11, 12 and partly by a coil 19 in series with the wire 12, the fixed contacts 15, 16, the movable contact 17 carried by the core, and the battery and lamps. The core also carries a movable contact 27 forming with three fixed contacts 24, 25, 26 a short-circuiting switch for the field winding 23 and the armature 22. When the voltage of the generator becomes equal to that of the battery, the action of the coil 18 causes the core 20 to rise, joining the contacts 15, 16 and opening the short-circuiting switch. The lamps are then fed by the generator, which at the same time begins to charge the battery 9. As the speed increases, the back electromotive force of the armature 21 in circuit with the field winding 2 increases, and reduces the excitation of the latter. All the armatures 21 being in parallel with one another, the effect is nearly the same whether the regulation is performed by one or several. The armature 22, during the same time, introduces an increasing back electromotive force in the lamp circuit, keeping the lighting-voltage constant. Other forms of regulator may be used. Part of the winding 23 may oppose the rest, or part may be wound in the car circuit and part in the battery circuit. No special regulation is used for increasing the output of the generator as cars are added to the train.

Brakes.-Relates to a combined friction clutch and driving-pulley for motor-cycles and the like, constructed so as to prevent binding of the clutch and to give a slight braking-action both on the engine and on the cycle when the clutch is out of gear. The driving - pulley 1, to which the outer member 5 of a conical clutch is screwed, is mounted to slide laterally on the driving-shaft 2. The outer clutch member has an annular recess to receive a nut 15, which holds the driving-member 3 of the clutch in position on the shaft. A fibre washer 14 is pressed against the movable clutch member by a spiral spring, the outer end of which is secured to a flange on the nut 15. The clutch is held out of action by a nut 17, adjustable along a fixed screw, this nut acting as a slight brake on the cycle when the latter is running free. The spring-pressed washer 14 is adapted to prevent racing of the engine when running without load.

Title: New or Improved Stop Motion or Means for Preventing Roller Laps on the Breakage or Failure of an End of Yarn in Doubling and Twisting Frames.
Inventor: GREG HENRY PHILIPS
Filed: 1906-12-01
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 27,351. Greg, H. P. Dec. 1. Delivery, stopping; roller heads.-Delirery is arrested and lapping on the feed-roller prevented, in doubling and twisting frames constructed with a single feed-roller made either in a single length or of several parts placed end to end, by devices which act, when a thread breaks, to reduce the extent of contact of the yarn with the roller and in some cases trap the yarn. In one arrangement, the lighter end of a pivoted counterweighted lever c, Fig. 5, is depressed by the yarn, which is led over the guide-rail e, partly around the feed-roller a, back round a yarn guide b, partly around the roller again, then round a second guide b, and over the roller to the spindle. When an end of yarn breaks, the heavier end of the lever c, which may consist of a weight screwed on the lever or a fixed block c<1>, falls and the lighter end raises the upper threads extending between the roller and guides b, thus reducing the extent of contact of the yarn with the roller so that it is no longer fed forward. The block c' traps the yarn against a suitablyshaped abutment h in the arrangement shown. In a modification, the lighter end of the pivoted lever may extend to the front of the roller and bear upwardly against the yarn passing to the spindle, the heavier end extending over the lower threads passing between the roller and the guides, so as to carry these parts down when a thread breaks in front of the roller and so reduce the frictional contact. The lever may be replaced by a roller &c. resting on the lower threads between the feed-roller and guides b, the ends of the roller engaging grooves in inclined or curved guides, so that on breakage of a thread the roller falls in its guides and carries down the threads to reduce the frictional contact. In another arrangement, a lever c, Fig. 7, pivoted on a stud or an adjustable rod c<2> extending across the frame, is supported at one end by the yarn passing from a guide b to the spindle, and the other end is provided with a knifeedge which, when the yarn breaks, falls against the roller and prevents laps. Instead of a lever operated by gravity, the falling of a detector normally. supported by the yarn may serve to turn the lever for the purposes described. According to the Provisional Specification, a stationary bar may be arranged behind and parallel to the feed-roller to prevent a broken end from lapping on the roller.
