Title: Improvements in Electric Telegraphic Signalling Installations.
IPC: G08C19/38
Filed: 1909-12-02
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 28,169. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Dec. 3, 1908, [Convention date]. Order apparatus.-In an order telegraph of the type in which a receiver armature takes up, under the influence of a transmitter supplying alternating potentials to the armature terminals, a position in an alternating field such that the potentials generated in the armature coils are equal to the alternating potentials due to the transmitter, the impedance of the receivers is made at least four times as large as the impedance of the transmitter. This arrangement ensures that, when a number of receivers II, III, IV, Fig. 1, are used in the same system, the sticking of one of their armatures a<2>does not have any considerable influence on the behaviour of the other receiver armatures, and that the system is also less liable to disturbance due to leakages and changes in resistance of the leads. When any receiver sticks, the currents which flow through this instrument are greater than normal, and fuses set in the leads to this instrument blow and cut it out of the system. The transmitter shown in Fig. 2, comprises a choking-coil c set in parallel with the field-magnet coils of the receiver across the dynamo leads, from various points on which current can be drawn by means of a rotatable switch d set in the circuit of the receiver armature a<2>.

Abstract: 8188. Milier, J., and Wright, W. T. - April 5. Plates and the like, travelling.- Consists of apparatus for displaying advertisements on sheets a at two openings A, B in a casing d. A motor i drives through worm gearing a spindle h carrying chain wheels f<1>, around which pass chains f carrying pivoted hooks g which are adapted to lift the extended ends of the rods b carrying the advertisement sheets a. The sheet a, which is displayed at the opening B, is lifted in this way to the opening A, the next sheet taking its place by sliding down the inclined guides c, the first sheet being finally carried backwards and dropped on the guides at the back. Lights e, X illuminate the lower sheet at the front, and the upper sheet at the back, respectively. The motion is rendered intermittent in any suitable way, for instance by means of a finger q on the chain operating the upper arm m' of a bell-crank lever m to the lower arm m<2> of which is attached a rod n carrying a slot n<1> and working in a dash-pot o. In the slot n<1> works a switch-arm p which is adapted to make and break contacts 2, 3 for the motor and lighting circuits respectively, so that the sheets are only illumined when stationary. Instead of the guides c being inclined, they may be horizontal, the sheets a being pressed forwards by a spring.

The drum is reversed to effect the return of the slide. The terminal portions of the cam are at right-angles to the axis of revolution of the drum and afford time for the operation of the cross-slide &c. Feed - motions, tool. - The drum 14, Fig. 1, may be formed in several sections, and is driven at 16 through a reversing - train from a feedshaft 11, Fig. 2. Reversing-mechanism. - A pinion 21 drives wheels 19, 20, connectible to a shaft 18 as controlled by a clutch 25 operated by a rock-shaft 27. The wheel 19 is directly driven and the wheel 20 is driven through an intermediate shaft 23, which also drives a crossshaft 38 carrying a cam-disk 37. The rock-shaft 27 is operated to give the forward motion to the turret slide by a cam 36 on the disk 37 engaging a spring-controlled rod 30 which is locked to hold the clutch in position by a latch 33. The catch is released by an arm 47, which is mounted on a sleeve loose on the shaft 38 and geared to the drum 14 so as to oscillate between the limits indicated by the arrows and the full and dotted lines in Fig. 4. At the moment of release, a cam 48 on the disk 37 is opposite the end of the rod 30, and arrests it, and consequently the clutch, in an intermediate position, allowing the drum 14 to stop before the cam 48 clears the rod to permit the engagement of the reversing-train.

Abstract: 3502. Marks, E. C. R., [Trott Automobile Co.]. Feb. 12. Springs, arrangement of and mounting bodies on. - Relates to vehicle spring suspensions of the type in which two springs are employed for resisting vertical as well as horizontal shocks, the two springs acting in conjunction to resist oblique shocks, and consists in supporting the usual bearing spring between the axle and a member pivotally mounted on the frame vertically above or below the axle, a second spring being employed to counteract side movements of the said member. Fig. 2 shows one construction in which the elliptic bearing-spring 5 connected with axle 16 is mounted on a pivot 12 attached to the vehicle frame 14. The rotation of the spring 5 about the pivot 12 that occurs under horizontal or oblique shocks is resisted by a spring 6 connected at one end to the spring 5 and at the other end to the vehicle frame. The return movement of the spring 5 is cushioned by a buffer 22 of elastic material. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which a vertical bearing-spring 25 of helical form is mounted in a U-shaped member 30 which can rotate on a pivot pin 27 on the frame against the action of a torsion spring 26.
