Title: Improvements relating to Selectors for Automatic Telephone Exchange Systems.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
IPC: H01H67/16
Filed: 1910-05-18
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 12,248. T h o m p s o n, W. P., [Deutsche Telephonwerke Ges.]. May 13. Automatic exchange systems.-In a two-coordinate selector of the Strowger type, the member that carries the contact-springs 24, 25, 26, Fig. 1, consists of a toothed bar 19 rigidly connected to two perforated disks 17, 18, which slide and turn upon a fixed axis 15. The bar 19 moves in a notch 32<1>, Fig. 8, in a toothed disk 29, which is rotated by the turning-magnet 41, as described later. The contact-springs 24, 25, 26, are carried by a plate 20, which can be adjusted relatively to the disk 17 by means of a screw 23 and springy projection 22 which rest against the disk. The bar 19 is raised by a pawl 34, which is guided by members 52, 57, and is carried by a bent arm 50, 51, mounted on a lever 47, Fig. 2, engaged by a screw 46 on the armature of the lifting-magnet 40. The disk 29, and consequently the parts 17, 18, 19, are rotated by the end 62, Fig. 2, of aT-shaped lever 63, which is guided by a pin 64 and lugs 13, 13<1> on a plate 12, and is actuated by the bent-over lever 48, engaged by a screw on the armature of the turning-magnet. Sheets of non-magnetic material are arranged between the armatures and the polepieces. Before the wipers have been turned, the bar 19 is supported by the pawl 34 and a spring detent 58, but after rotation it is held by the edge 9 of a plate 8, Figs. 1 and 5, attached to the baseplate 1. The plate 8 is formed with a notch 10, so that, when the bar 19 is turned to its extreme position, it falls through the notch to its lowest position, thereby tripping the detent 27, Figs. 2 and 8, of the disk 29, whereupon the selector is returned to its normal position by a spring 35. In order to prevent excessive jar when the bar 19 falls into its lowest position, the plate 8, Fig. 5, is formed with a forked springy projection 11, engaging an annular groove on the hub 30, Fig. 1, of the disk 29, which hub supports the disk 18 when this is in its lowest position. A turning movement of the selector before its vertical movement is prevented by the engagement of a projection on the detent 27 in a notch 28, Fig. 2, in the disk 18, when the latter is in its normal position. The three fixed contacts 69, 70, 71, Fig. 9, of each line are united in a single group, and several such groups are held together by plates 72, 73, the plate 72 being formed with lugs 75 which engage in slots 76 in the tubular standards 2, which are formed of stamped metal, and are adapted to receive the lugs 75 of the contact-sets of two adjacent selectors. The lugs 75 are held in position by a bar 77 inserted from above in each standard. The plates 72, 73 of the contactsets are held together by passing lugs 74, stamped out on the one plate, through holes in the other, and then bending them over. The whole selector is designed so that as many parts as possible may be made by stamping.

Title: A Wasching Table for Washing with Inflammable Liquids.
IPC: D06F43/00
Filed: 1910-09-08
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 20,969. Bosch, R., [Firm of]. July 30, [Convention date]. Fats &c., extracting by solvents. A table for washing articles with inflammable liquids such as benzene is provided with an automatically-operated shield-plate and a sand or like shower for protecting the operator and smothering the flame if the liquid ignites. The basin A containing the liquid rests on a perforated table which delivers any overflow through a funnel D to a safety storage can E. The perforated bottom of a box F, containing sand, is normally closed by pivoted flaps supported by levers connected to a string G. If the washing- liquid ignites, the string is burnt so that the flaps are released and the sand falls through the perforations and smothers the flame. Pivoted catches L supporting counterweights are also released, thereby causing the sliding shield plate Q to be raised to protect the operator. Segmental distance-guards W prevent the outwardly-moving levers from injuring anyone near the apparatus. A window X may be fitted to the box.

The ring 6 is arranged outside the suction chamber 2, as shown, so that access thereto is facilitated, and its steam supply is regulated by a valve 11 which may be provided with a small hole so that steam is constantly supplied to the suction chamber. Air, oxygen, or other fluid under pressure may replace the steam. At the lower part of the chamber 2 an air-inlet valve 13 is provided and controlled by springs 14, 16 which bear against a support 15 and are adjusted by a nut 17. An additional air-inlet valve 21, controlled by a spring, is also provided. These valves are arranged so as to close when a predetermined suction is exceeded in the chamber 2, the valve 13 closing first. The rings 9 of the tubular chamber 8 are mortised together, and the lowermost ring 9<a> projects through the firebars 24 and is arranged to leave an annulus 25, through which ash-pit air passes to the chamber. At the upper part of the chamber may be arranged a wide - meshed grating, preventing coal from passing into the chamber during stoking, and an upwardly-inclined screen 27 is provided, which may be either attached to, or formed integral with, the uppermost ring 9<b>, In a modification, a conical or flat screen 45, Fig. 11, is arranged beneath the baffle C and may be provided with a perforated projection 47.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Controlling Mechanism for Sheet Feeding Machines.
Inventor: SPIESS GEORG
IPC: B65H3/06
Filed: 1912-01-22
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 1770. Spiess, G. Jan. 22. Stopping arrangements. - A controlling- mechanism for sheet-feeding machines of the kind in which the sheets are fed by rotary combing-rolls controlled by a trip-lever actuated by the advancing sheet, the trip lever when acted on by the sheet permitting a pawl to engage a driver which transmits motion to the controlling-mechanism through the pawl, is constructed so that the pawl arrests the motion of a freely mounted clutch element and thereby laterally displaces a second clutch element which causes the combing-rolls to be thrown out of action. As shown, the arms carrying the combing-rolls are mounted on a shaft F which is controlled by levers E, D, A, the lever A being controlled by a slide B normally held from rising under the action of a spring C by means of pins S, T on a lever R controlled by a lever Q. The trip lever G is pivoted in the slide B, and normally keeps a pawl K free from the teeth on a rotary member L freely mounted on a constantly driven shaft M but prevented from axial movement thereon. The member L is driven by means of inclined teeth on a member N splined to the shaft M, and, when the triplever G actuates the pawl K, the member N is moved axially owing to the stoppage of the member L, and an inclined surface P on the member N actuates the lever Q, which thereupon releases the lever R and permits the slide B to rise with consequent raising of the combing-rolls. In a modification, the trip-lever G is formed with a hooked shaped projection which engages directly with the teeth L, and the lock for the slide B consists of a pivoted arm with a projection which engages a recess in the slide. The inclined surface P acts directly on a lug on the pivoted arm which normally locks the slide. The apparatus is re-set in known manner.
