Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 28,951. Burney, G., and Sterling Telephone and Electric Co. Dec. 10. Intercommunication systems, of the type in which each station is connected to all the other stations by separate pairs of line-wires, are provided with a visible signal, such as a lamp 9, in series with one line, and with means for operating an audible signal in series with the other line. Fig. 1 shows the circuits at one station, 1, 2 being the common battery leads, and 5, 6 the line-wires, which are cross-connected to the corresponding wires at the other stations. To call another station, a plug &c. is inserted in the appropriate jack 3, 4, and the double-contact push 13, 14 depressed, thereby completing a circuit from the battery lead 2 through the hold-on coil 18, and thence in parallel through the springs 13, 14, contacts 11, 12, and wires 5, 6 to the wires 6, 5 at the other station, relay winding 10, and lamp 9, and back to the other battery pole 1. The relay 10 closes the circuit of the common call-bell 19. The called subscriber then inserts a plug &c. in the jack indicated by the glowing lamp 9, the circuit of which was maintained by the coil 18 when the push 13 was released. The insertion of the called subscriber's plug opens the circuit of the lamp 9 and the coil 18, so that the springs 13, 14 fall back and connect in the telephone 15, 16.

Abstract: 22,068. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Oct. 6. Strip-perforating machines; keyboards.-Relates to typewriters which are operated by a perforated strip or by keys and with which is combined mechanism for perforating a strip and simultaneously obtaining a typewritten copy of the matter. The punches 725 are guided in an oscillating frame 715 and have pawls 726 pivoted to their lower ends. Pins 711 on bars 710, which are moved lengthways by the keys, move levers 712 into the path of the pawls 726, so that, as the frame 715 descends, the corresponding punches are driven through the strip. The pawls 726, which are held in position by springs 727, enable a new combination to be set as soon as the frame 715 begins to rise. The strip is guided in a groove 722 in the frame and is fed by pin-wheels 729 and ratchet mechanism operated by the oscillation of the frame. The key-levers depress combination bars arranged transversely beneath them and connected by bell-crank levers to the bars 710. Compensation is made for the varying distance of the combination bars from the key-lever pivots. If an error is made, the strip is drawn back, and a special symbol is punched, whereby the printing and feeding in the type-writer are prevented, and the strip is fed beyond the error.

Abstract: 1344. Leyner, J. G. March 25, 1911. Percussive drills.-In a mechanism for intermittently rotating the bit of a rock drill, the disk-shaped head 55 of a rifle bar 16 carries spring-pressed pawls and is arranged within a ratchet ring 53, which fits in a recess in the rear cylinder head 9 and is yieldingly held by being pressed against a ring 43 by side bolts acted upon by coiled springs; these bolts also hold the cylinder 3, its head 9, 21, and a front cap 41 together. The coiled springs are housed in recesses formed in side lugs on the cap 41. Four or more pawls 62 are used and they are preferably in the form of square prisms which can be turned when worn to use each side in turn. They fit in recesses 57 and are pressed outwards by tapering coiled springs 60 fitted into apertures 58 at the centre of the recesses. Only diametrically-opposite pawls wholly engage the teeth ratchet at any one time, in order to limit back-lash. The piston 17 is rotated on the return stroke and the rotation is conveyed to the tool 19 through a fluted extension 22A of the piston, a nut 33 and a sleeve 20 having lugs engaging lugs 70 on the tool. Under undue strains, the ratchet ring 53 slips. The tool is attached by inserting the lugs thereon through a slot in a ring 72 keyed to the sleeve 20 and then turning the tool till its lugs engage the lugs in the sleeve 20. Parts 11, 12, 13, arranged in a recess in the rear cylinder cover 9, clamp a tube 14 passing through the rifle bar and piston into a passage in the tool, the recess being closed by a cap 15. Water from an inlet 8 passes through the tube 14 into the tool. Specification 1933/11 is referred to.
