Filed: 1911-11-13
Granted: 1912-11-13
Abstract: 25,244. Blenheim, W. J. Nov. 13. Electric clocks.-In a pendulum clock driven by a weighted arm c, forming the armature of an electro-magnet, a contact-lever h pivoted vertically above the arm c is normally held up by a catch j fixed on the arm c. When the arm, in falling, has driven the main wheel a of the clock by means of a pawl f through the distance of one tooth, a pawl i pivoted on the contactlever h is freed from the catch j, and the lever falls, completing the circuit of the resetting- electro-magnet g by contact with a spring l, and transmitting a current impulse to secondary clocks which may be included in the circuit. A projection m on the arm c restores the contactlever to its original position.

Title: Improved Method and Apparatus for Recording the use of Phonograph Records and Mechanical Music Sheets.
Inventor: SHMURKIN IWAN
IPC: G11B33/06
Filed: 1912-01-06
Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 518. Shmurkin, I. Jan. 6. Registering number of tunes played; tune disks, driving; tune disks.-The use of a hired gramophone, phonograph, or automatic musical instrument and records is registered by a counting and stamping device operated either by the re-winding-gear or by the tone-arm while changing the record. The rewinding- gear 20 rotates a worm - wheel 18, which rotates a worm 5 adapted to rotate two concentric worm - wheels 1, 2 having stamping-parts 4, 3 and having respectively ninety-nine and one hundred teeth. One complete rewinding of the gramophone motor rotates the worm 5 once, and consequently the disks 1, 2 are each rotated through one division. A pointer 6 is marked on the part 4 of the disk 1. A similar pointer 8 is marked on the part 7 of a stationary casing 10, which also carries a dial 12 marked with a hundred divisions corresponding with the hundred divisions of the stamping-die 3. A pointer 11 rotates with the disk 1. The counter is secured to the machine with its axis 9 vertical and the dial 12 and pointer 11 upwards as shown in Fig. 1. A ticket or paper strip is inserted between the stamping-dies 3, 4, 7 and a pressing-disk 13 adapted to be raised by a handle 17. Or the disk 13 may be stationary and the counter casing 10 fixed to the worm 5 and adapted to be pressed against the disk 13. At each complete revolution of the disks 2, 3 and 1, 4, the latter disk overruns with its pointer 6 the disk 2, 3 by one division, so that the pointer 8 indicates the number of times the motor spring has been wound, and the pointer 6 indicates the hundreds of these windings. In a modification, Fig. 4, a spring-pressed pawl 23 eccentrically mounted on the tone-arm spindle rotates the two disks 1, 2 through the space of one tooth each time that the tone-arm is moved laterally to change the record. To prevent the hired records from being used on ordinary machines, they are provided with specially-shaped central apertures, and the hired gramophone has its spindle shaped to correspond.

Inventor: MCKEAN JOHN OLIPHANT
IPC: B65H59/32
Filed: 1912-07-09
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 16,056. McKean, J. O. Jan. 29, [Convention date]. Tension arrangements.-In a cop-winding machine, to provide a tension device which shall preserve an equal tension as the cop grows, the yarn is passed between two coacting parts, one of which is forced into its maximum tensioning position by a weight, against the action of a spring connected to a part of the machine moved by the growth of the cop so that its force progressively increases as the cop grows. The yarn is passed between two opposing rows of pegs, one mounted upon a fixed piece 35 and the other on a piece 31 pivoted at 30 and controlled by a weight 39 and a spring 33, which act in opposition. The spring is connected to a pivoted arm 24 which is in turn connected by a link 23 to an extension 22 of the carriage 8, on which the cop spindle 7 i s mounted. As the cop grows, the carriage 8 is moved and the tension in the spring is increased. The spring may be connected to one or other of the lugs x in order to adjust its initial tension. The weight 39, which can also be readily adjusted, may be replaced by a spring.
