Abstract: 25,446. Burney, G., [formerly Birnbaum, I. B.], and Brinkmann, W. F. Nov. 25. [Patent of Addition appliedfor No. 21,995, A.D. 1904.] Telephone systems.-Relates to an intercommunication telephone system of the type described in Specification No. 21,995, A.D. 1904, in which a selecting-lever is used for choosing the desired subscriber's line, the calling and talking circuits being controlled by contacts operated by the calling- push. The present invention relates to a simplified arrangement of the contacts. When the subscriber at the station shown wishes to call he moves the selecting-lever a to the proper terminal, removes the receiver s from the hook d and presses the push n. The spring o is brought into contact with the terminal p and lever g, and a ringing-circuit is now completed from the battery t through the terminal 2, the spring o, the lever g, the arm a, and the line to the called station, and at that station through the terminal 4, the contact r, the spring o, the bell b, the hook d, the terminal 3, and back to the battery t. When the push n is released, contact is broken at p, but the spring o is retained in contact with the lever g by the hook k on the lever, which has been rotated by the removal of the receiver s from the hook d. Speaking-connexion is now made from the receiver s through the spring o and the lever g to the switch arm a. When the receiver s is replaced on the hook d, the spring o is released from the lever g and returns into contact with the terminal r. Constructions of the apparatus suitable for a wall telephone and for a desk telephone are described in the Specification.

Filed: 1909-09-07
Granted: 1910-10-07
Abstract: 20,470. Carver, T. A. B. Sept. 7. Yarns, warping, leasing, &c. - In looms and warping-machines &c. the respective warp threads coming from the beam are passed over the individual straight wires of a spring comb C, so that each thread is separately tensioned. A protective rod F is placed below the comb to prevent any thread from being drawn over the end of its wire, and rods D may be used to limit the forward motion of the wires, but the tension of the wires is regulated, by an adjustable clamp-holder, to be sufficient to keep the warp threads virtually free from the rods. To assist in the separation of the threads and the formation of the lease, the comb wires may be made alternately long and short, two protecting-rods being employed, the rod for the long wires being set behind that 'for 'the short wires. A contact wire or strip may be arranged so that the wire controlling an end that breaks may contact therewith, this closing a circuit through a knock-off device.

Filed: 1910-02-15
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 3758. Munger, J. V. Feb. 15. Couplings, automatic. - In couplings of the knuckle type, the knuckles can engage by angular motion of the coupling - head without being unlocked before or during coupling. The invention also comprises means for locking and releasing the knuckles. The coupler head d is pivoted to the draw-gear b by the pin g so as to have an angular movement, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, limited by the faces k, n and h, m on opposite sides of the draught-line. The couplings are prevented from becoming disengaged by the locking-guard s, which is kept in its operative position by the weight w acting through a bell-crank on the pivot x, and the rod u. When the coupler heads are under impact, they first separate transversely, and then engage in the manner shown in Fig. 2. The knuckles are locked by pieces 6, which are pivoted on rocking-shafts 2 and are kept normally in the obstructive position by gravity. They are housed between the central partition e' and a vertical web 5 in the coupler-head. The locking- piece has an extension 8, which can be engaged by a lever-arm 9 operated from outside by the lever 3 or the cable 4 on the rocking-shaft 2. When it is desired to uncouple the cars, the shaft 2 is rotated, and the locking-piece is held clear of the tail q of the knuckle, which is thus permitted to turn upon its pivot p. To maintain the locking-piece 6 automatically clear of the tail q until the cars can be separated a further lever 10 is mounted upon the shaft 2 and carries a pawl 11 which, when the shaft 2 is rotated, engages under the tail q, Fig. 6. The detent is released automatically when the tail has passed the locking-piece 6.
