Patent GB-190623662-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Transmitting Indications in the Fluctuation of Liquid Levels.
Inventor: GODFREY ARTHUR CHARLES
Filed: 1906-10-24
Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 23,662. Godfrey, A. C. Oct. 24. Order or alarm apparatus. - Relates to that class of apparatus for transmitting indications of the fluctuation in the level of liquids wherein a disk, rotated by the fluctuation, is provided with a series of pins in such a way as to operate, through lever mechanism, one of a pair of electric contacts according to the direction in which the level of the liquid fluctuates. The lever mechanism employed in the present instance is shown in elevation in Fig. 1 in conjuction with the disk and pins, and in plan in Fig. 2. A pin g of the disk a strikes one of the spring tappets, such as h, upon which the cranked arm m of the lever l is resting, and causes it to rock on its pivot i. As the pin g passes the end of the spring tappet, the tappet rises suddenly by the action of the springs k and cause the end n<1> of the lever to enter the mercury cup o and complete an electric circuit. An electric impulse is then transmitted to the indicator at the pumping station to signal the fall of the float, which is attached by a cord to the pulley f upon the axle of the disk. On a reversal of the disk, the pin raises the end h<2> of the spring tappet, the end being jointed to allow of this without further movement of the tappet, while the other spring tappet is being operated.

Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 1530. Hardy, W. E. Jan. 21. Audible signals.-The apparatus described in Specification No. 6577, A.D. 1906, is modified to increase the amount of air pumped through the signalling-device, by opening the suction side of the pump to atmosphere when the delivery side is shut off from atmosphere and all the air is delivered through the signaling-device, which is so connected to the hand-lever for operating the valves as to be turned in the direction in which the car is running. The brake pipe is fitted with a non- return valve 24 to prevent the admission of air from the open end of the pipe 25. The Figure shows the apparatus for use on a car operated from either end. The lever 16 is connected to a valve 12 closing the pipe 2 through which exhaust from the pump 1 takes place, and also to a valve 27 on a pipe 25 which is normally closed. When a lever 16 is operated, the valve 27 is opened and the valve 12 is closed, so that air is drawn through the pipe 25 and passed through the signal device 31. The hand-levers 16 are connected by rols 35 to the horn &c. 31, which is pivoted to turn towards the front end of the car.

Abstract: 14,058. Moy, E. F., and Bastie, P. H. June 18. Kinematographs.- Intermittent motion, is imparted to the film by mechanism actuated by a double cam which is driven through an epicyclic train of wheels, the arrangement being an improvement on that described in Specification No. 25,625, A.D. 1897. A side elevation of the device is shown in Fig. 1. The cam b is driven by the horizontal sbaft a through bevel-wheels c and an epicyclic train d, e, f. Of this train, the wheel f is fixed to the body of the machine and is provided with teeth on its inner circumference, and the wheels d are carried by an arm g fixed to the shaft h. The cam is provided with two grooves in which work rollers j, k, one roller j j being attached to a plate l and the other to a plate m, both of which work iu guides n. The plate l carries a pinion o which engages teeth in the plate m, and also a rack p which carries a plate q on which are pins r for engaging the perforations of the film. The grooves on the cam are not parallel throughout their length, but are so shaped that the plates l, m move together until the roller j reaches its highest point. This roller then remains stationary for a time ; but as the other roller continues to ascend, the pinion o is caused to revolve and the pins r engage the film. The rollers then descend together and the film is drawn down ; when the downward motion of the roller j ceases, however, the roller k continues to descend and thus the pins r are withdrawn. The rollers are then in a position to commence another cycle. The cam may be mounted on an horizontal axis and the grooves cut on its face, or two separate cams may be used. Any form of gearing may be used for driving the cam.

Filed: 1908-03-14
Granted: 1909-03-15
Abstract: 5765. Wardwell, S. W. March 14. Winding-machines.-A winding-machine having one driving-head and a plurality of winding-heads each comprising preferably one or more pairs of opposed winding-spindles and especially suitable for winding bobbins for use in fly shuttles is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The driving-shaft 103 passes through the spindle head casing A, and gear-wheels 104 on the shaft drive similar wheels 6 on the spindles 3. A rocking shaft 14 extends into the spindle head casing and carries arms 13 which reciprocate the traverse bars 5 through connecting-links 12. The driving-shaft 103 and the rocking shaft 14 are driven by any suitable means, preferably such as are described in Specification No. 3083, A.D. 1909. The links 12 can engage with any one of a series of perforations in the arms 13 to vary the traverse, and each link oscillates in a slot 56<d>, Fig. 4, in an arm 56<c> projecting from a sleeve 56, surrounding the traverse bar 5. The arms 13 are slidably mounted on the rock-shaft 14 by means of a frame 13<a>, Fig. 6, having a projection 13<d> adapted to engage a recess in a clutch member 59, fixed on the shaft and pressed into engagement with the clutch member by a spring 58. The arrangement is such that the clutch is disengaged and the arm 13 ceases to rock if the traverse bar encounters any obstruction to its motion. The extent of the rocking of the arm 13 is controlled by a slotted plate 60, Fig. 7, mounted on a bridge bar 48 and through the slot in which the projection 13<d> passes. The bridge bar has a curved portion 48<a> adapted, when the bar is rocked by the handle 44 or by other means, to engage the projection 13<d> and disengage the clutch, and the bar also carries an arm 50 adapted, when the arm is rocked, to engage the disk on a clutch member 51 and disengage the clutch member from the spindle driving gear-wheel 6, thus stopping the rotation of the spindle.
