Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 26,306. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Nov. 15. Reciprocating-punch machines.-The punch of an electromagnetically-operated apparatus for perforating a strip for telegraphic or similar purposes is controlled by a disk consisting of two concentric rings with insulated segments, the segments of one ring being connected to the keyboard, and those of the other being connected to the punching and feeding electromagnets, which are energized successively by a rotating arm provided with brushes moving over the segments. The apparatus as shown is designed to transmit eight symbols, and in this case each ring J, K is divided into five insulated segments a-e, and f-j, respectively, of which the two latter c, j are in circuit when the rotating arm M is at rest in contact with a stop P. The keyboard comprises eight keylevers T<1>-T<8> each provided with one or more contact pins K<1>-K<4> which engage corresponding spring contacts n<1>-n<4>, Fig. 3, on the contact bars S<1>-S<4>. Each key-lever has a contact K<5> which engages a contact bar S<5> on depression, and completes the circuit of the electro-magnet E<3> and condenser V. The armature of the magnet E<3> is fixed to the stop P, so that when the magnet is energized temporarily, the stop is retracted and the arm M is rotated by a motor through a friction coupling. As the continuous weak current, which flows through the winding of the magnet E<3> and the high resistance W as long as the key is depressed, is too weak to attract the stop P, the latter is restored by the spring p to its normal position and arrests the arm M after the completion of one revolution. In order to maintain a key in the depressed position during the rotation of the arm M, a spring-pressed bar l, Fig. 3, is provided which engages the catch m when the key is depressed and is retracted by the electromagnet E<4> when the brushes L<1>, L<2> come on the segments e, respectively and complete its circuit. The bar l may be operated directly by a continuation of the stop P. The contact bars S<1>-S<4> are connected to the segments a-d respectively, and the segments f, h and g, i are connected to the electro-magnetic punching- device E<1>, C and feeding-device E<2>, F, D, G, respectively.

Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 3060. Duverger, L. March 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors.-The air inlet is closed by a constant-load valve k, which at starting or for slow running remains closed until the suction has produced a flow of fuel through the sprayer orifice c. The valve k then opens, and the air sweeps the fuel, that has collected in the cavity through the pipe u to the suction pipe of the engine, or to an auxiliary sprayer therein, which in the form shown is arranged in the throttle valve, air being admitted to it through the orifice t. A small regulable air inlet n delays the opening of the valve k until a suction of definite magnitude prevails in the engine suction pipe, and hence serves to determine the lowest speed at which the engine will run. The fuel nozzle may be adjusted by a screwed rod d. In another form, the air valve k is annular and surrounds the fuel nozzle.

Abstract: 27,132. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Dec. 23, 1912, [Convention date]. Speed indicators.-Relates to aiming-devices for bomb-dropping apparatus on aircraft, of the kind wherein the device is adjusted in accordance with the height, and the time taken by the aircraft to pass over an horizontal distance proportional to the height. The invention consists in an arrangement wherein, by means of two sets of curves, after the time has been once determined, the device can be readjusted for any height without the redetermination of the time being necessary, the speed being maintained constant. The sight-line h<1>, h<2> is set by a pinion f<2> on a spindle F to the required angle to the vertical, determined by a pendulum G<3>. The spindle F carries a drum J, on the surface of which two series of curves i<1>, i<2> are provided, as shown in the developed plan, Fig. 5. One series i<1> represents the relationship between the passage time, recorded by a stop-watch c<1>, the height, and the dropping-angle, while the second series i<2> represents the relationship between the height, speed, and dropping-angle. It is thus possible by rotation of the drum J, and lateral adjustment of a reading-mark n<1>, operated by a milled head m<1>, to use either series of curves, the curves i<1> being used while the height remains constant, and the curves i<2> when the height changes, the speed being ascertained by the curve i<2> against the reader n<1> when this is set initially to the curve i<1>. The sight-line is adjusted simultaneously with the drum J by the rotation of the shaft F.
