Title: Improvements in Machines for Intermittently Displaying Posters.
Inventor: BROWN EDWARD WILLIAM
IPC: G09F11/295

Granted: 1914-06-04
Abstract: 13,015. Brown, E. W. June 5. [Cognate Applications, 15,292/13 and 25,259/13.] Reel and web apparatus. - Posters are progressively displayed at an aperture by a motor, which is intermittently stopped and started by a set of parallel switches n<2>, o<1> in a lead of t h e motor. A slatl at the end of a poster first operates a rod m and bell-crank m<1>, opens a switch n<1>, n<2> and then proceeds to engage one of the levers o and open a switch o<1>, thereby stopping the motor. The heavy bar n<1> slowly falls under the res t r a i n i n g influence of a fan n<5>, closes the switch n<2> and starts the motor again. When all the posters have been displayed, studs at either end of the band a of posters throw over a reversing- s w i t c h. The switches o<1> may be broken with a consequent closing at a contact o<2> of the circuit of electric lamps for illuminating the displayed poster. The levers o have flattened ends so that the momentum of the apparatus may not carry the slats beyond the levers o, but may stop and prevent contact o<1> from being made before the motor starts again. The posters may be joined up by means of slats t, Fig. 5, at each end, to which spring wires t' are attached with their ends snapped into metal strips t<2>, embracing the slats l. Each web-roller may have its shaft provided with means for preventing it from being driven except in one direction; this consists of a loose driven sprocket-wheel, Fig. 4, with oppositely-directed clutches f<3>, f<4>, adapted to engage a pin j on the shaft during driving operations at the shaft, and engaging a clutch part h, secured to the shaft by a clamp i during unwinding operations, so as to restrain the half-clutch f<3> from engaging the pin j. The other roller is provided with a similar reverse clutch.

Title: Draft Regulator for Steam Boilers.
Inventor: BACKLUND ISAAC ALFRED
Filed: 1913-09-16
Granted: 1914-08-27
Abstract: 20,941. Backlund, I. A. Sept. 16. Air supply and draught, regulating. -An arrangement of dampers controlled by the boiler pressure is such that either a high, intermediate, or low pressure may be maintained. Suspended from the counterweighted damper arm 38 is a small tank 23 connected at its upper end to an open-ended pipe 24 and at its lower end by a pipe 21, 20 to the lower end of a fixed tank 16. Pipes 18, 19 connect the steam and water spaces respectively of the boiler with the top of the tank 16. In operation, a rise of pressure above the normal causes the tank 23 to fill to such an extent as to close the damper 36 and also the air inlet 48 and eventually to open the check draught door 44 by engagement with the arm 38<b>. For low pressure, the tank 16 is in communication with the water space of the boiler and water alone therefor fills the operative parts of the apparatus. For high pressure, the tank 16 and the pipe 20 contain mercury, while for intermediate pressure, the pipe between the steam space of the boiler and the upper portion of the tank 16 contains steam only. To maintain the correct water-level in this latter case, for instance at 50, a valve casing 27 is connected to the tank 16 at that level and also, by the pipe 29, to the pipe 17 above the tank 16, and the lower end of the casing 27, Fig. 6, is fitted with a float discharge valve 49. Thus water rising above the level 50 (owing to condensation &c.) is discharged through the valve 49.
