Patent GB-190624448-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Control Apparatus.
Filed: 1906-11-01
Granted: 1908-01-01
Abstract: 24,448. British Thomsom-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Nov. 1. Switches.-The resistance-controlling switches in a controller of the separately-actuated contact type are governed in their operation by a twoposition relay. In the form described, the relay close's a circuit in each extreme position through the lifting-coils of alternate switches. The action of the controller is started by pressing a button 4. This closes a circuit through a coil 1 which lifts the core of the main switch A, thereby starting the motor M with full resistance in the armature circuit. A coil 2, under the control of a normally closed push-switch G, holds the core in its raised position. After the switch A has closed, the relay F is energized through a wire 7<1>, the current passing through a bridging-member 23 on the last switch E to a switch 7. The latter, in the position shown, closes a circuit to the line L<1>, but can be opened by the core of the relay to break circuit' and de-energize the relay solenoid. The core, rising against a dash-pot 8, bridges contacts 9, and completes a circuit from line L, through bridged contacts 10, 11, the lifting-solenoid 1 of a switch B; and contacts F, to line L<1>. The switch B closes, cuttiug out a step r<1> of the resistance, and breaking the circuit of its lifting- coil at the contacts 11. When the upward movement of the relay core has opened the switch 7 and broken the circuit through the relay solenoid, the core of the latter falls. The switch B is held closed by a solenoid 2, energized in common with other like solenoids in switches C, D by a shunt wire leading to a bridge 13. The contacts 15 are bridged by the raised spindle of the switch B ; when the relay core falls to its first position, current is supplied to cause the switch C to cut out a further step of resistance. Switches D, E cut out other steps similarly during the rise and fall of the relay core, at a rate dependent upon the dashpot 8, the raising of the cores of each switch B, C, and D acting to bridge contacts in the circuit of the lifting-coil of the next switch. With the raising of the spindle of the switch E, by which all resistance is short-circuited, the circuit through the hold-on solenoids 2 of the switches B, C, D is broken at contacts, 13 and the switches are opened. At the same time, the current supply to the relay solenoid is broken at the contacts 23. The motor continues running, only the hold-on coils 2 of the switches A, E being in operation, and by opening 'the push switch G the switch A opens and the motor is stopped.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Type Movements for Numbering, Dating, Time Recording and like Apparatus.
Inventor: STOCKALL JAMES JOHN
Filed: 1907-06-05
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 13,018. Stockall, J. J. June 5. Numbering-apparatus.-Relates to means for actuating the type-wheels of date, time, number, and like printing mechanism operated from a clock or other train. The type-wheels 1, 2, 3, shown as three in number, are mounted, the first rigidly and the others loosely, on a spindle a driven from the clock or other train. The wheel 1 is provided on its periphery with a recess d located between two laterally projecting pins e adapted to engage a pinion f on a spindle g. A portion of each alternate tooth r of the pinion f is removed on the side that engages the recess d, so that all the teeth q, r are engaged by the pins e while only the broad teeth q are engaged by the recess d. As the wheel a rotates, the pins d engage each of the teeth q, r in succession, the pinion f being locked against rotation during each revolution of the wheel 1 by the two adjacent broad teeth q which bear on the periphery of the wheel 1. The pinion f is thus rotated two teeth for each revolution of the typewheel 1. The spindle g carries a pinion h which engages a wheel i on the loose type-wheel 2 ; this wheel drives a second feed-spindle n by means of a mutilated pinion m. The third type-wheel 3 is driven by a pinion o on the spindle n. In order to vary the relative speed of the type-wheels 1, 2, 3, the number of teeth on the mutilated pinions may be varied, or a number of recesses may be provided in each type-wheel. In order to aline the characters prior to printing, the spindle a is proviaed with a star-wheel s, having the same number of teeth as there are characters on the fixed typewheel, and adapted to be engaged by a weighted pawl t mounted on a pin u and operated by some moving part of the machine. A second pawl w, the apex x of which is out of alinement with the apex v of the pawl t, and which is connected to the pawl t by a spring y, is mounted on the same pivot. Should the pawl w engage the top of a tooth, the wheel s is rotated slighly by the pawl t and alined by the pawl w.

Title: Automatic Railway Coupling.
Inventor: PETERSEN ADOLPH
Filed: 1907-07-08
Granted: 1908-07-08
Abstract: 15,675. Petersen, A. July 8. Couplings, automatic.- In a double link-andhook coupling for railway vehicles, the operation of uncoupling comprises first a longitudinal movement of the coupling- elements whereby the coupling, is slackened, after which the hook and link of the same vehicle are moved vertically in opposite directions. A link 11 and hook 12 are mounted loosely upon a bolt 9, which engages angular slots 10 formed in the coupler head 5. The link is provided at its rear end with an enlargement 24, Fig. 7, formed with a cam-slot 13, which is in effect composed of three slots c, d, e, shaped as shown in Fig. 7, and engages with a stud f projecting from the coupler head. The hook 12 is supported, when the bolt 9 is at the rear end of the slot 10, by the engagement of a tail-piece 14 with the part 23 of the coupler head. The link 11 is supported in position for automatic coupling by the engagement of the stud f with the upper end of the slot d, this slot being curved to allow the link to slip over the opposing hook during coupling. The bolt 9 is moved in the slots 10 by levers 6, connected thereto and provided with studs at one end working in slots 7 in the coupler head, while the other ends are connected by rods 4 to levers 3 pivoted upon a shaft, which is carried by a rearward extension of the coupler head and weighted at 8. The levers 3 are further connected by a rod 18 to the inner ends 21 of operating-levers 1, which are pivoted at 19 to a cross-piece carried by the draw-bar 2. For uncoupling, one of the levers 1 is moved in the direction indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2, whereupon the bolt 9 is moved up the vertical portions of the slots 10 and afterwards along the horizontal portions. The latter movement of the bolt 9, while slackening the coupling, also moves forward the hook so that its tail-piece 14 becomes released from the coupler head and allows the hook to fall about the bolt 9 ; at the same time, the link is moved forward until the stud f comes to the junction of the slots c, e of the cam 13, whereupon further forward movement of the bolt 9 raises the link about the stud f. The slot e of the cam 13 allows the bolt 9 to be drawn back along the stud 10 in order to set the parts for recoupling. The coupler head is mounted on a vertical bolt 16 which allows for motion on curves. The coupling-hooks may be formed with additional hooks 15 for preventing uncoupling when going down an incline.
