Abstract: 11,707. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wedmore, E. B. May 11. Automatic circuit - breakers. -- Relates to automatic switches or circuit-breakers of the type described i n Specifications 18,598/03 and 4397/07, wherein the operating- handle is linked to the contactarm through two toggles one of which is temporarily locked rigid and adapted to be tripped on overload. The invention consists in locking the toggle by a catch pivoted on one of the toggle pivots. In the form shown in Fig. 7, a bent part g of the pivoted handle e is jointed to an intermediate link s, which through a third link p is jointed to the pivoted switch-arm a. The toggle p, s is normally locked rigid in a slightly underset position by a pivoted catch t and thus acts with the member g to form the operating-toggle, the latter being slightly overset to hold the switch closed. When the catch is tripped, the underset toggle collapses and allows the switch to open. In another form shown in Fig. 3, the link p is pivoted to a fourth link h, which is pivoted to the switch-arm a. The link h has a slot embracing the pivot-pin o on the handle member g, the two together forming the operating-toggle.

Granted: 1911-10-23
Abstract: 24,581. Hughes, D. C. Oct. 22. Printing - surfaces.- A sheet-metal type-plate for addressing-machines such as are described in Specification 28,651/07, is provided with a number of ribs of T- section formed integrally with the plates and forming type-receiving slots. The plate is further provided with integral spacing-flanges 17, 18, and hook-like supporting-ears 8, 9 strengthened by struck-up ribs 11. In manufacturing the type-plate, a number of rectangular ribs and grooves are formed in the plate by a power press. Rectangular bars of less height than the ribs are then placed in the grooves, and are held against the bottoms while the plate is pressed laterally while confined at the top and bottom between die-plates. Without releasing the plate, the tops of the ribs are then pressed down to form the T-heads. In the modification shown in Fig. 12, the spacing- flanges 17, 18 are extended upwards above the face of the type. The plate may or may not be provided with an integral extension serving as a name-plate. In the modification shown in Fig. 14, a pintle-like supporting-ear 22 is provided, which is formed by rolling a blank portion and bending it at right-angles to the flange 17. To adapt it to existing plates, the typeholder is connected to the plate by lugs 20, Fig. 8, engaging' perforations in the holder. The type may be secured in the grooves by punching-up tags 35 from the bottom of the grooves. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a tool as shown in Fig. 17, having two sets of dies, one for stamping-up the tags 35, and the other for flattening the tags. The body of the tool is divided by two slots 38, 51 into three portions, the central portion of which carries the stationary dies 39, 54. The movable dies 42, 53 slide in the outer portions, and are operated by pivoted handles 47 engaging rocking levers 43, 52. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
