Patent GB-191001536-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Signalling Systems.
Inventor: FRANK ARTHUR EMERY
IPC: G08B5/22
Filed: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 1536. Emery, r. A. Jan. 25, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Ratchet gearing. - In an electro-magnetic step-by-step order telegraph operated by current impulses, the movement of the armature of the receiver is transmitted through a pin t<6>, Figs. 6 and 7, to a pawl t'. This pawl is pivoted at t<3> on an arm t', which itself is pivoted at s<2>; during the initial movement of the pawl a catch t<13> acting on a projection t<12> on the pawl forces it to rotate about t<3> as a fixed pivot until the recess in the pawl engages a tooth on the ratchet-wheel. A detent-pawl t<7> is at the same time released. The projection t<12> then leaves the catch t<13>, and the arm t<4>, the pawl, and the ratchet-wheel rotate forward together, the projection t<12> now being caught behind a fixed plate t<14>. At the end of the pawl's stroke, the projection t<12> having reached the position shown in Fig. 7, the pawl resumes it normal position as shown in Fig. 6, under the influence of a spring, the projection this time passing down the plate t<14>. This construction obviates any danger of a partial rotation of the ratchet-wheel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Schock Absorbing Apparatus.
Inventor: FREER PHELPS MACKEAN
IPC: F16F7/04
Filed: 1911-02-18
Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 4168. Freer, P. M. Feb. 18. Vibrationdampers. - Relates to shockabsorbing devices of the friction type, specially y applicable to the springs of automobiles or like vehicles, but not restricted thereto, and consists of two opposed series of intermeshing wedges or blocks, the bases of one set abutting against a wall and those of the other set against a cam-surface having equallydisposed crests and valleys, so that, as the cam rotates, relative movement takes place between the separate wedges of the two series. A further feature of the invention comprises the connexions between the device and the springs or other bodies to which the device is attached. In the form illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, a flanged casing 1 connected to an arm 13 is closed by a stamped metal cap 3 on an arm 5. Two sets of wedges 6, 7 are enclosed within the casing, the set 6 bearing against the wall 2 of the casing 1, and the set 7 against a cam 8 which rotates with the arm 13. The arm 13 is attached to one body, for example the top of an elliptic spring, and the arm 5 to the other movable body, for example the lower member of the spring. In operation, any relative motion of the two parts of the spring causes a rotation of the cam 8 relatively to the casing 1, and consequent relative motion of the series of wedges 6 relatively to the series of wedges 7. The casing 1 is filled with oil, and the wedges may be grooved to facilitate the admission of oil between the wedges. Springs 22, Fig. 3, may be arranged to act upon the wedges 7. One of the arms 5, 13 may be dispensed with by fastening the corresponding part of the casing directly to the body to which the device is applied. The arms are connected to the two parts to be controlled by means of bolts 23, Fig. 2, having spherical heads 24 engaging a two-part socket 25 provided with an oil recess 26, a soft felt or similar washer 29, and a spring 30 and bolt 31 to close together the two parts of the socket to compensate for wear. In modified constructions, the casing and arm 5, Fig. 11, comprise duplicate parts 33, the casing being lined with a steel band 43 forming a bearing- surface for the wedges 6. The wedges 7 bear upon a two-part cam 8 having an hexagonal bore to fit upon hexagonal bosses on the arms 13. The inward radial movement of the wedges 7 is retarded by spring fingers 49 extending from a spring plate 48 and engaging inclined portions on the wedges. The spring fingers may be replaced by flat springs in recesses on the edge of the cam, or a floating spring- restrained cam-plate may be placed between the two parts of the cam 8, Fig. 11, the valleys and crests of this plate not coinciding completely with those of the cam 8.

Abstract: 21,294. Paret, E. S. Sept. 27. Cylinder machines; inking-apparatus; impression surfaces; tripping-arrangements.-A cylinder machine for printing in imitation of typewritten matter comprises means for reciprocating the cylinder over a bed which is automatically raised and lowered by toggle mechanism and is inked by travelling rollers as well as being fitted with an automatically operated inked ribbon through which the printing takes place. The sheets are automatically fed by grippers on chains which are moved forwards by a reciprocating rack actuated from the travelling cylinder gear and fitted with a hooked pawl which engages the chains only as it moves in one direction. As shown, the machine comprises an impression cylinder 25, Figs. 1 and 7, mounted in boxes 22 which are reciprocated over guideways 2 by means of links 23, levers 21, pitmen 20 and cranks 19 on a shaft 13. The shaft 24 of the cylinder 25 is rotated by a gear 86 and fixed rack 87. The cylinder 25 is formed with a slot 27, a bar 28 with spikes 29 for securing one end of a blanket 30, and an eccentric clamp 31 for securing the other end of the blanket. The bed 3 is reciprocated in vertical guides 4 by toggle mechanism 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, the lever 10 being acted on by a spring 104 and fitted with a pin 97 which can be held, for tripping purposes, by a hook 98 when this is depressed by a treadle 103 against the action of a spring 101. When in its lowered position, the printing - surface is inked by travelling rollers 32 fitted with guide rollers 34 moving over tracks 35 with inclined ends 36, 37. The rollers are mounted on spring-pressed rods 39 carried by rods 40 on a shaft 42 actuated by cam mechanism 43, 44, 47, 48. In their rearward position the rollers 32 are inked by a distributing disk 38 rotated intermittently by cam and ratchet mechanism 51, 54, 55, 56. The boxes 22 at the end of their printing movement actuate the ink ribbon by winding it up on a shaft 60 fitted with a ratchet actuated by a spring-pawl on an arm 62 fitted with an adjustable stop 65. The spool from which the ribbon unwinds is fitted with a polygonal shaft at one end adapted to receive a key for rewinding the the ribbon on this shaft.
