Patent GB-140363-A (GB)
Abstract: 140,363. Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Co., (Assignees of Fuller, F. L.). March 20, 1919, [Convention date]. Differentially-moved indicators; flashes. - In machines of the key-set and key-operated type, for example as described in Specification 135,465, the key-coupler is partly raised by the depression of an auxiliary or clerk's key before depression of the amount and transaction keys, and a duplicated transaction indicator is rotated into one of three positions according to the manipulation of one clerk's key and two transaction keys. The key-coupler 26 carries spring-controlled pivoted plates for engagement by the amount and transaction keys, and a fixed plate 36 co-operating with the two clerks' keys 24<A>, 24<B>. When one of the latter keys is depressed, a cam-surface 50 engages the coupler and raises it until a second surface 52 contacts with the coupler and prevents further ascent. The coupler is held in this preliminary or coupling position by a non-return pawl 40 engaging a ratchet-wheel on the main cam shaft 17 rotated bv the coupler through alternating racks and a pinion. When the required amount and transaction keys have been depressed and coupled, the complete operation of the coupler is effected, and the clerk's key is caused to take part in this movement by engagement of a lug 36<1> and the plate 36 on the coupler with a lug 54 and recess 53 on the key. A pair of square-sectioned bars 261, 262 mounted on slides 250 raised and lowered by the key-coupler present identical wording to the front and rear, and are rotated by pinions 266 and a toothed sector 271 provided with a pin 274 co-operating with three slide-bars 275 having tail-pieces 276 at different heights. When clerk A effects a cash transaction; no movement of the slide-bars 275 occurs, and the indicator bars consequently reciprocate but are not rotated, and so continue to show " A cash." If clerk B makes a cash transaction, however, his keys 24<B> raises a corresponding slide-bar 275 and positions its tail-piece 276 so that the sector 271, in its downward movement, is engaged through its pin 274 and rotated to the extent necessary to show " B cash." Similar actuation occurs when clerk A, in effecting a paidout transaction, operates the key-lever 23<P> and raises a slide-bar 275. In the case of the remaining combination, namely, a paid-out transaction by clerk B, the two keys 23<P>, 24<B>, in being actuated, both engage, on either side, a bevelled hanger 275 BP loosely pivoted to a third slidebar, which is thereupon raised to control the setting of the indicator sector 271. The slidebars are retained in their raised positions by a pivoted cam-controlled yoke 197 which bears under noses 196 on the bars.

Abstract: 883,693. Draft-control mechanisms. SCHLUMBERGER & CIE, N. May 5, 1958 [Oct. 11, 1957], No. 14291/58. Class 120(2) [Also in Group XXIV] In a device for varying the draft in textile drafting-mechanism according to variations in the thickness of material being drafted, which comprises means for sensing the variations, parallel recording-rods in a cylinder rotating about an axis, means for positioning the rods according to the reaction of the sensing means, means for reading the positions so assumed by the rods, locking parts for holding the rods between the time they are positioned and the time their positions are read, and speed-controlling means for controlling the draft according to the signals transmitted by the reading-means, the positioning-means and the reading-means each comprise two rods drawn together resiliently for engaging the rods one by one at each end. In Fig. 1 the variations are sensed by a roller 13 on a pivoted lever 14 and transmitted by a link 15 to a lever 6 pivoted at 8 and connected by a spring 10 with a second pivoted lever 7, so that the two levers engage rods 1 on a drum rotating on an axis 5 to move them according to the movements of the roller 13. The positions assumed by the rods are read by rollers 29, 30, Fig. 3, on pivoted levers 31, 32 connected by a spring 35 and linked to a rocking-lever 40, the middle point of which is connected to a pivoted lever 42 adapted to move a belt 44 over opposed cones 46, 47 to vary the drive. The movements of lever 42 are the mean of those of the rollers 29, 30. Both members 6, 7, may be linked to the lever 14 and only one of the rollers 29, 30 to lever 42 while the springs connecting the members 6, 7 and 31, 32 may be replaced by counterweights or hydraulic or pneumatic means. The drum is provided with a series of locking members 20, Fig. 2, the upper ones only being constrained by a belt 24 to move towards the inner ends of radial slots 22 in which they are housed. The drum rotates in the direction of the arrow: the rods having been positioned at X engage the locking members as they approach the upper part of the drum and remain locked until they pass the reading members at Y, after which the locking members are released so that the rods can be re-set at X. The locking members are threaded to engage corresponding threads on two or more adjacent rods. The locking members may be replaced by the tensioning belt 24, the rods being roughened or shaped to assist friction, and the belt provided with a pressure wheel loaded by pneumatic or elastic means.
Patent GB-129304-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Transforming and Converting Apparatus.
IPC: H02K47/02
Filed: 1917-10-04
Abstract: 129,304. British Thomson - Houston Co., (General Electric Co) Oct. 4, 1917. Systems for conversion employing rotary converters or rotary transformers; phase, changing; transformers.-A step-down polyphase transformer T, Fig. 1, is mounted on the rotary shaft 32 of a synchronous converter or other dynamo-electric machine R. The primary winding 34, Fig. 2, of the transformer is connected to the mains 33, through slip-rings 35 and brushes 36; the primary winding may have star- and delta-connected sections A, B, &c. The secondary transformer winding 37 has two separate coils a, a<1> &c. for each primary coil connected to form either a closed ring, as shown, or a twelve-phase star; the twelve secondary terminals are connected to points on the armature winding of the machine R. The transformer core is built up of starshaped punchings 43, Figs. 6 and 7, supporting the primary and secondary windings 34, 37 respectively and surrounded by annular laminµ 44, the parts being secured together by insulated bolts 46, 47, 49 and splines 45. The end-rings 50, 51 form housings for the transformer; the slip rings 35 are carried by the end-ring 51. The coils of the secondary winding 37 are joined to two groups of terminal-rings 52 which are connected to the armature winding by radial strips 53 and horizontal strips 54, Fig. 1. To equalize heating throughout the armature winding and to reduce the total copper-losses of the machine R, the number of taps from the transformer to the armature winding should be as large as possible, and arrangements are described for giving 12, 24 and 36 taps per pair of poles of the machine R. Fig. 11 shows one arrangement for obtainng 24 taps Two three-phase primary windings D, E, F and D', E', F<1> are delta-connected to the slip-rings 35; each primary winding is associated with two secondary windings d1, d2 &c. and tappings are obtained from the secondary coils in accordance with the vector diagram of Fig. 12; the coils d1, d2 &c. have fewer turns than the coils d1<SP>1>, d<1>2, &c. An arrangement for obtaining 36 taps is shown in Fig. 18, the primary windings A, B, C and D, E, F, being respectively star- and deltaconnected; each primary winding has four secondary coils, of which two have a greater number of turns than the others; the connexions are made according to the vector diagram of Fig. 19. Multiplication of the secondary phases may also be obtained by locating some of the secondary coils under the influence of primary windings of different phases, or by connecting in series secondary coils of different phases. Fig. 25 illustrates part of a winding layout, in which the transformer primary windings A, B, C, &c., and the secondary windings a, ab, b, &c. are arranged in slots in a magnetic core, Fig. 26, like that of a dynamo armature; the secondary taps are connected to the armature winding at the ends thereof remote from the commutator; the commutator may, however, be situated between the converter armature and the transformer.
