Patent GB-190800563-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Shutters for Cinematographs
Inventor: LERTOURNE EUGENE LOUIS AMEDEE
Filed: 1908-01-09
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 563. LertournÚ, E. L. A. Jan. 18, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Kinematographs. - Kinematographs are provided with a shutter which is operated electrically on the stoppage of the machine or breakage of the film. The shutter is placed so as to cut off the concentrated light rays from the film, and may be of translucent material, for example unpolished glass. One form of the device is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1. In all cases, the shutter H, which may be of wood or metal, consists of two parts a, b shaped as shown, the part a receiving the translucent plate d and being heavier than b, so that, when the shutter is freed, it rotates about a pivot c and closes the aperture e. The arm b in this form is made of soft iron, and, when the machine is working, is attracted by an electro-magnet I excited by batteries E, which also drive the motor F. When the motor stops, the circuit is broken by an interrupter K, and when the film breaks, the circuit is broken by an interrupter L, so that in both cases the shutter falls. A similar form of shutter is used in the form shown in Fig. 2, only in this case the interrupter L places the electromagnet n in circuit, and, as the armature of this magnet forms part of the motor circuit, this circuit is broken, the machine stops, and the shutter falls. Another modification is described, in which the armature of the electro-magnet I terminates in a hook which holds the arm b when the armature is not attracted, but releases it when the electromagnet is excited. This form of shutter is used in an arrangement in which the interrupter K first breaks the motor circuit, and then establishes a current which exciting the electro-magnet I causes the shutter to fall. The interrupter L has the same effect as in the form shown in Fig. 2. One form of the interrupter L is shown in Fig. 5. Two arms pivoted at g, f, with a roller which bears on the film k, form part of the circuit, which is broken when the film breaks by the separation of the two arms, contact being prevented by a stop i. This form is used when the apparatus includes a rewinding bobbin, but, when this is not the case, means are provided for keeping the film taut and the roller may be replaced by a hook. In another form, only one arm may be used, which, when the film breaks, makes contact with the body of the kinematograph or with a contact on it. The device shown in Fig. 8 is designed to be used as a contact-breaker independently of the motor. The axle r of the obturator C forms part of the circuit, and is received in a sheath s which also receives a cylinder t of insulating material attached to a metallic conductor u forming part of the circuit. Connexion between the parts s, u is made by the springs y, z, when the machine is at rest ; but, when the axle r rotates, the springs move outwards and the circuit is broken. When contact is made, the shutter falls. This device is not necessarily fixed on the axle of the obturator.

Title: An Improved Current Collector for use in Electric Traction Systems.
Inventor: WEST ALLEN
Filed: 1908-07-10
Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 14,695. West, A. July 10. Electric traction on the stud-contact or third-rail systems. Collectors.-The collector consists of a number of contact - pieces of conducting-material spring- mounted upon an endless chain passing over two sprocket-wheels positively driven from a rotary part of the vehicle at such a velocity that there is no relative motion between the contact-pieces and the line conductor. Fig. 1 shows a side view of a part of a collector for use with road studs. The contact-pieces 5 are carried by the chain 3 and kept in their raised position by springs 8, but are forced into contact with road studs 4 by magnetic induction. To prevent leakage, the lower part of the contact-pieces are set in a band of india-rubber or other insulating-material. Fig. 3 shows a modified construction of the collector suitable for live rails. In this form, the contact with the live rail of the contact-pieces is caused by the compression of the springs.
Patent GB-190816386-A (GB)
Title: Improved Graduated Speed Motor for Phonographs.
Inventor: HARRIS JULIUS
Filed: 1908-08-04
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 16,386. Harris, J. Aug. 4. [Cognate Application No. 18,993, A.D. 1908, dated Sept. 10.]. Vane governors ; driving - mechanism. - The governing - mechanism of disk phonographs and like sound recording and producing instruments is designed to produce a constant linear velocity of the record with respect to the stylus. Records can thus be made and used in which the serrations or depressions in the groove for any given note are at equal distances apart in all parts of the groove, whether at the periphery or near the centre of the disk. With this object in view, the governor, preferably a fly governor 5, Fig. 1, is driven by a friction wheel 3 engaging the underside of the table 1, or a special disk arranged under the table, and the friction wheel is arranged to travel radially towards or away from the centre of the disk in correspondence with the movement of the stylus. This radial movement may be produced by a spiral groove 2, with which the friction wheel engages, or by a screw 8, Fig. 3, driven from the main spindle of the machine and engaging a half-nut 10 connected to the governor spindle 4. The governor 5 may be driven direct from the friction wheel 3 or through multiplying-gearing 21, 22, Fig. 9. The screw maybe driven through reducing-gearing, so that it can be made of coarser pitch. The half-nut 10 may be arranged to be disengaged from the screw at a predetermined point by mounting it on the end of a lever 11, the other end 14 of which travels over a ledge 7 but falls through an opening 15 into a groove 16 at the required point. On the mechanism being re-set, the end 14 travels along the groove 16 to an inclined opening 16<a> which raises it again on to the ledge 7, the opening 16<a> being closed for the return stroke by a switch piece 17. A spring 23 resting on a bar 29 keeps the friction wheel pressed against the table. The bar 29 is used for re-setting, being connected at 32 to the framework 19 carrying the friction wheel, and being fitted with a suitable operating-Jever. A spring compressed when the mechanism is brought back gives it sufficient start to bring the nut 10 on to the threaded part of the screw. The governor has preferably thin metal wings which expand and afford increased resistance when the velocity exceeds the normal.

Title: An Improved Card Punching Shuttle Embroidering Machine.
Filed: 1908-12-18
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 27,542. Vogtlandische Maschinenfabrik (vorm. J. C. & H. Dietrich) Akt.-Ges. Dec. 19, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Cards, punching.-A shuttle embroidery machine and a jacquardcard punching machine are coupled together so that the two machines work synchronously. If the embroidery - machine frame is guided by a handcontrolled pantograph, then an initial jacquard can be produced. If the embroidery machine is automatically operated, then cards similar to the one in use can be produced. In the example shown, the work frame 8 is moved by a pantograph, the point of which is caused to follow out a pattern on the board 6. The point passes through two slotted bars 12, 13, which receive the vertical and horizontal components of the movement of the point. Each is connected to a friction block 30 which imparts the motion to a disk 29. The disk, by the spur-wheel 27, the rack 26, and the segment 25, communicates the movement to a lever 23, which carries at its end a punch which corresponds to the feeler in the card-operated machine. At the proper moments, a plate 59, Fig. 2, is pressed downwards and forces the punch through the card 20. Normally, the friction blocks 30 are held up to the disks by springs 31. After the holes are punched and before the pantograph point is moved again, a cam 39 operates a lever 37 which removes the friction blocks from contact with the disks and permits certain springs on the shafts 28 to return the wheels and levers 23 to their midpositions. The returning-springs 55, 56, Fig. 3, are secured to sleeves 44, 45 having cam-shaped shoulders 46, 47 from which project lugs 51. The abrupt edges of the cams rest normally upon a stop 54, and the projections 51 press upon opposite sides of a projection 49, integral with the shaft. When the shaft is rotated, one or other of the sleeves is rotated in opposition to its spring. When it is freed, the sleeve is returned by its spring until its cam-edge contacts with the stop 54 and the lug 51 brings the shaft back to the corresponding position.
