Title: Improved Mechanism for Starting Up Engines particularly those of Motor Cars.
Inventor: COATH JOHN CHARLES
Filed: 1911-04-15
Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 21,761. Coath, J. C., Haigh, T. C., and Jones, F. J. S. April 15, 1911. Turning-gear. - A spring is attached to a cylinder d permitted to rotate in one direction only by a ratchet g and to a shaft x in line with the engine or like shaft a. When wound, the shaft x is prevented from rotating by a friction band brake y<3>. To start the engine this brake is released, the spring turning the shaft through a one-way clutch x<2>. At the end of the drive, the unwound spring puts into gear the friction clutch h<2>, by bearing on a pin h<3> carried by the clutch lever h. With the engine running normally, this friction clutch starts the winding of the spring, the completion of which is effected through a positive clutch comprising a roller a<6> and a lever i carried by the cylinder d. A spring-pressed lever o strikes the stop r when the friction clutch carries the cylinder round, and permits a spring j to move the lever i into engagement with the roller a<6>, the end of the lever o keeping the clutch closed. During winding, a nut m on the shaft x moves axially and disconnects the lever i at the end of the wind, the lever o holding the lever i out of engagement. The one-way clutch x<2> permits the engine shaft to overrun the shaft x. By attaching a handle to the end of the latter shaft, the spring may be wound or the engine turned by hand. A fixed casing surrounds the gear.

Title: Process and Apparatus for the Plastic Reproduction of Objects.
Inventor: SELKE WILLY
IPC: G03F7/00
Filed: 1911-01-31
Granted: 1912-01-31
Abstract: 2492. Selke, W. Jan. 31, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 29,260/10.] Artistic modelling.-Relates to modifications of the methods described in the parent Specification for the reproduction of solid objects by means of photogrammetric and stereogrammetric theodolitic photographs. In one modification, the stereogrammetric plates 2, 3, Fig. 1, are located in parallel planes, and are observed in a Wheatstone's mirror stereoscope, the prism surfaces 24, 25 of which are only slightly silvered and therefore transparent. A workpiece is modelled from the virtual image seen by a pantograph 29 journaled in a ball joint 28 and carrying a style 31, which determines the particular point of the work-piece 21 corresponding to the point indicated by a tracer 30 on the virtual image 26. In another method, the mirror-stereoscope is fitted with enlarging- oculars 32, Fig. 2. The stereo-plates 2, 3 are displaced horizontally and vertically in their own planes. A rod 9, which is mounted on the suspension 7 and positively connected with the plate 3, gives the direction in space of a selected image point. The depth of the observed virtual image is diminished proportionately to the magnification of the oculars 32 and accordingly has for example a depth 34<a> to 34<b>. This depth is proportionately re-magnified by the rod 35 which moves a rack 41 according to the movement of the tracer point 34. The rack 41 operates gearing 37 to move correspondingly the sighting-tube 19, which gives the required point on the work-piece by sighting the rod 9. Reproductions on different scales are made by varying the positions of the suspensions 7 and of the rack 41. A modification of the latter method is also described in which the plates 2, 3 are situated in the same plane. Alternately again, instead of mechanical means for correcting the deformation of the depth of the virtual image due to the ocular enlargement, a binocular prism telescope 38, Fig. 4, is arranged in front of the mirror-stereoscope. The distance B between the objectives is enlarged to the distance between the objectives of the taking- cameras. By this means the point of a working- tool 9 is readily brought into apparent contact with the point P on the surface of the virtual image and obtained on the work-piece 42. The instrument 24, 38 is vertically displaceable parallel to the plane of the plates 2, 3. Reproductions on a changed scale are made by enlarging or reducing the plates 2, 3 and proportionately enlarging or reducing the distance B. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a method of locating any point P on the work-piece, which consists in obtaining two directions in space from two photogrammetric negatives. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted but forms the subject of the divided Application 1747/12.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Self Winding Clocks.
IPC: G04C1/06
Filed: 1911-02-24
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 4711. Powers, T. B., and Eureka Clock Co. Feb. 24. Winding-apparatus, electric.-In a clock in which the mainspring is wound by an electromotor, the switch which controls the motor is automatically operated by the expansion of the coils of the spring. The switch comprises a fixed insulated spring contact-member f<1>, Fig. 1 (or, in a modification, a pivoted gravity arm), and a pin d<2> preferably mounted on a flexible piece d<3> fixed on the outside of the going- barrel d. One end of the pin d<2> passes through a slot in the barrel and rests upon the mainspring e, Fig. 4; the other end is adapted to make contact with the member f<1> when the pin is pushed outwards by the mainspring, the circuit being completed through the framework of the clock. To ensure good contact, a second pin h may be provided on the piece d<3>. As the barrel turns, the member f<1> is first depressed by the pin h engaging with an insulating portion thereof, and then spring up into firm contact with the pin d<2>. When a single pin d<2> is used, two resilient strips i, i<1>, Fig. 7, take the place of the member f<1>, one strip i<1> having an insulating extension i<2>. The contact d<2> may be attached to the mainspring itself. The motor spindle is geared to the barrel-arbor g through pinions and wheels g<4>, g<3>, g<1>, and g<12>, the wheel g<12> actuating the arbor g through a pawl and ratchet. In order to obtain a uniform torque for all positions of the three-pole armature b of the motor and thus ensure self-starting, the pole-pieces are so shaped that the airgap between them and the armature is greatest at the points x, x, Fig. 1. The spring may be wound by hand by means of a turn-button j fixed to the arbor g. The clock movement, which is of any suitable form, is supported by the pole-pieces of the motor.
