Title: Telephone Installations in which the Subscribers' Connections are Grouped According to the Number of Calls.
Filed: 1912-12-13
Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 28,751. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Dec. 19, 1911, [Convention date]. Automatic and semiautomatic exchange systems. - Those subscribers who call most frequently are provided with number-dials and their lines are grouped at one or more main automatic exchanges, while those who call less frequently are wired to sub-exchanges in which operators control automatic switches to complete the connexions. The s a m e automatic switches are available to both classes of subscriber, but an operator is only connected up when call originates from a subscriber of the second class. The subscribers of the first or busier class may be designated by numbers which are one digit shorter than those of the second class. For instance in an exchange of 30,000 subscribers the 5,000 busiest subscribers may be numbered 1,000 to 5,999, the remainder being given five-figure numbers commencing with 6, 7, and 8. In the arrangements shown in Figs. 3 and 4, a subscriber V equipped with a number-dial gets connected to a first selector GW through two preliminary selectors IVW, IIVW, while a subscriber W of the second class can obtain connexion with the same selector through a call-finder AS and two preliminary selectors. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the selector GW has two relays CW, CV, one or other of which is energized according to which subscriber the call comes from. Whichever relay is energized cuts out the other and marks the selector busy. The service selector DW, which connects in an operator over a lateral trunk, and is only set in action by the relay CW. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the selective actuation of the service selector DW is differently effected. A side-switch S is associated with the trunk between the call-finder AS and the preliminary selector IVW. This is moved from first to second position when the call-finder AS finds the calling line, the relay M closing at m a circuit through S, R'. When the preliminary selector IVW finds an idle line, the relay T' is energized, breaking the circuit through S, R' and making a fresh circuit through S, R<2>. The side-switch is thus moved to third position. When the preliminary selector IIVW finds the idle selector GW, the relay T<2> is energized, breaking the circuit through S, R<2> and making a fresh circuit through S, A. The relay A completes at a<3> a starting-circuit for the service selector DW, and the side-switch moves to fourth position, connecting the lines a., b by a bridge K. When a call comes from a subscriber V equipped with a number-dial, the relays A, B of the selector GW are energized simultaneously in the ordinary way, and the circuit of the service selector DW is opened at b<1> at the same moment that it is closed at a<3>. The second preliminary selectors IIVW may be omitted.

Title: Improvements in Cutting Devices for use in Machines for Making Paper Bags.
Inventor: FISCHER GUSTAV
IPC: B26D5/08
Filed: 1913-02-05
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 3034. Fischer, G. Feb. 5, 1912, [Convention date]. Paper bags, making. - In a machine for making paper bags, the paper is cut by fixed blades and a tool which has a planetary motion similar to that described in Specifications 2679/75, [Class 31, Cutting &c.], and 14,269/10, [Class 31 (i), Cutting and severing machines &c.]. The paper is formed into a tube around a plate 3 of sheet iron and is fed forward by drawing-rolls 1, 2. The front edge 4 of the plate 3, which is serrated and forms the lower cutting-blade, is situated a short distance in front of the upper fixed blade 5. A cutting-strip 20, the edge of which is of tubular form, rotates on a shaft 18, which itself rotates about a shaft 8, the planetary motion being produced by suitable gearing. When the strip is in the position shown, its path is approximately a vertical line, and the paper is pressed against the fixed blade and severed. The gearing is usually so arranged that the strip makes a cutting stroke on alternate revolutions only, but by making the strip doubleended, a cutting stroke may be made each revolution. In order to increase the velocity of the strip during the cutting period the shaft 8 may be connected with a driving-shaft through an eccentrically mounted gear-wheel. The strip then moves with a variable velocity with its highest velocity during the cutting period. The strip may also be formed with a cutting-edge instead of the tubular edge shown.

Abstract: 12,740. Freas, T. B. May 31. Thermal interrupters. -A thermally operated interrupter for the circuits of an electric heater comprises an expansion member controlling a contact-arm co - operating with an adjustable contact-arm, one of the two arms being insulated from its pivot. As shown, the arm 48 carrying a contact 73 is mounted on and insulated from an arm 70a on a rocker plate 70 pivoted on a pin, which also forms the pivot for a yoke 49 carrying the adjustable contact-arm 47. The plate 70 is rocked by means of a pin 74 mounted on a plate 75, to which the upper ends of two expansion members 76 are secured, the lower ends being mounted on a plate secured to a rod 79 of non-expanding material such as invar. The contacts 73, 51 on the arms 48, 47 are aranged in front of a scale 44 adjustable by means of a screw 46. The arm 47 carries a pointer 52 and is adjustable by means of a milled head 69, screw 64, block 63, and lever 60. The arm 47 is made in two parts separated by insulation 81, and a flexible contact 55 is mounted on and insulated from one part so as to engage with a fixed contact 57 to connect in circuit a second heater when the arm 47 is adjusted to a higher temperature, the second heater being controlled in the same way as the main heater. Condensers are connected across the contacts to prevent sparking. Specification 25,962/11 is referred to.

Title: Improved Circuit Arrangements for Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1914-01-22
Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 1792. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Jan. 25, 1913, [Convention date]. [Addition to 22,013110.] Semi-automatic exchange systems.-Systems of the kind described in the parent Specification, in which excess calls at busy times are distributed to operators over relief lines which are only brought into use when all the ordinary distribution lines are engaged, are modified so that the calls which arrive over the relief lines can be attended to either at the ordinary positions or at an auxiliary position. Calls may also te dealt with over the relief lines at the auxiliary position when tbe operators are absent from the ordinary positions. The invention is shown as applied to a system in which switches DW are used for making temporary connexions to operators PI, PII, &c. who establish the wanted connexions by controlling numerical selectors. As long as the instrument-set of an operator PI is plugged into the jacket J, a relay M1 is energized, and a call arriving over the ordinary line a1, b1, c1 lights a lamp 20 and energizes a relay Q1. The operator then shifts a switch U1 to the position 1, connecting the line a1, b1 to the jack J and short-circuiting the lamp 20. When the ordinary lines at all the positions PI, PII, PIII are engaged, so that all the relays QI, QII, QIII are energized, a group-relay G is de energized and makes the relief lines (such as a<1>1, b<1>1, c<1>1) selectable by connecting their test leads to the relays R1. A call can then arrive over the relief line a<1>1, b<1>1, c<1>1, in which case, the relay R1 is energized and lights the lamps 20', 78 at the ordinary position P1 and at the auxiliary position S. The operator PI may take the call (as soon as she has finished with the line a1, b1, c1) by moving the switch U1 to the position 3, or the operator S may take it by plugging her instrument-set into the jack k1. In either case, the relay R, is de-energized. The relay G is also de-energized by the de-energization of the relays M1 when all the operators are absent from the ordinary positions.
