Patent GB-190823590-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Telephonic Installations.
Inventor: BAUMER MORIZ
Filed: 1908-11-04
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 23,590. Baumer, M. Nov. 4. Telephone systems.-Relates to exchange telephone systems in which a number of sub-stations are connected by separate lines to an automatic branch station, connected to the main exchange by a common trunk line. The apparatus at the automatic branch station, Fig. 2, comprises a doublewound call relay URA, URB, URC ... for each sub-station, a common cut-off relay TR, and a step-by-step switch VS by which the exchange operator selects the desired sub-station. The wires a, b lead to the exchange, and the wires L<1>, L<2> ... in pairs to the various sub-stations. The armatures of the relays URA ... have no spring-control and normally rest upon their right-hand contacts. To call the exchange, subscriber A depresses the key AT and turns his magneto IN, thus sending current over the line-wire L<2>, armature of his calling relay URA, contact 1, winding I of this relay, armature of cut-off relay TR, battery UB, earth, and back to the contact 30 and magneto. The relay URA responds to the first impulses, and by closing contacts 12, 13 connects the leads L<1>, L<2> to the exchange leads a, b, so that the magneto current passes to the exchange, and actuates a suitable annunciator. The simultaneous closing of contact 18 energizes the relay TR, which disconnects all the sub-stations from their call-relays by opening contacts 4, 5, 6. The exchange operator calls up any desired sub-station by operating her impulsetransmitter while the listening-key is depressed, thereby sending the selecting currents over the leads a, b in parallel to the step-relay ER, which rotates the switch-arms F, F<1> to the desired contacts. A third spring F<2> engages the sector c b closing a circuit through the afore mentioned cutoff relay TR. The operator then calls the selected sub-station by sending alternating current over the a-line and earth through the bell W. The branch station apparatus is returned to normal when either subscriber rings-off the exchange, the magneto current, passing through the complete metallic circuit, energizing the relay RR (bridged across the line with a condenser CO1). The relay RR releases the selector switch, and sends current through the windings II of all the relays URA, ... in parallel, thus moving the armature of the previously-operated relay back to its normal position. The exchange operator can also restore the apparatus by sending alternating current over the metallic circuit a, b, energizing the relay RR as before. A sub-station can test whether the automatic branch apparatus is in use by moving the switch VH, whereupon current from the battery UB will, or will not flow through the alarm SW, according as the apparatus is idle or busy.

Patent GB-190924047-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Pressure Pumping Machinery.
IPC: F04B49/10
Filed: 1909-10-20
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 24,047. Poate, F. W., and Fawcett, Preston, & Co. Oct. 20. Multiple - acting piston pumps ; actuating by gasengines; regulating delivery by opening suction valves.- Comprises a multiple-cylinder pump, driven by a gas or oil engine, for supplying hydraulic presses, the pump cylinders being arranged in groups which are adapted to be successively cut out of operation by a .centrifugal governor as the engine slows down owing to the increased pressure in the pump delivery. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement in which twelve pump cylinders 1 are arranged in groups of four driven from a common driving-shaft by eccentrics which are arranged at 90 degrees to one another in each group, the leading eccentrics of each group being at 120 degrees to each other. The eccentrics work in a closed oil chamber. The cut-out mechanism for the pumps consists of cams 19, Fig. 2, co-operating with weighted levers 21 which, when released, keep the suction valves 22 open as soon as they are lifted by the suction stroke of the pump. The cams 19 are mounted on shafts 17, which are rotated step by step by the governor device shown in Fig. 4. The governor is driven by means of bevel-wheels on the end of the driving-shaft 3, Fig. 1, and controls the position of a hit-and-miss bowl 27, which is interposed between a constantly-rotated cam 33 and the ratchet-device shown when the speed of the engine slackens, and thus rotates the shafts 18, 17. The ratchet-wheel 30 has one tooth less than the number of powers of the pumps, so that the pumps supplying the pressure water to the " finishing-ram " cannot be cut out. As the ratchet-device only operates in one direction, the governor cannot throw the pumps into operation again, this being effected by hand. An indicator operated by the shafts 17, 18 serves to show how many pumps are in operation. Leakage, detecting; suction reservoirs.-The valve casings 44 and the valve seats 41, 43 are mounted in such a manner that any leakage therefrom shall be readily visible, the jointmaking packing being arranged as near the outside as possible. The suction pipes 16 draw their supply from tanks 15, which can be lowered to facilitate cleaning.

Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 15,171. Walker, A. H., [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen-fabrik Ges.]. June 23. Distributing matrices.-In the separation of the matrices and space-bars in typographical composing-machines prior to distribution, the matrices are withdrawn horizontally from the space - bar intermediate channel, and may be carried up to the distributor by means independent of their distributing - teeth. The intermediate channel 3, Fig. 1, has in its rear wall an opening 5 corresponding in length with the composed line, and in height with the matrices. Each matrix 1 has in its rear edge a dovetailed recess which, as the line is moved into the channel 3, is threaded on a dovetailed rib 7 carried by two arms 8 secured to bars 9, which are free to slide in guides 10, 10<a>. Springs 12 tend to push the arms 8 and rib 7 out of the channel, in which they are held by a pusher 13 actuated by a lever 16 and a spring 20, which is stronger than the springs 12. A cam withdraws the pusher 13 and permits the matrices to be withdrawn from the channel 3 by the action of the springs 12, the space-bars, which are provided with rectangular recesses so that they are not engaged by the rib 7, being left behind. The guides 10, 10<a> may be formed on the head 22, which is pivoted as usual to the second elevator lever 23. In a machine having two magazines, the matrices of the different founts are withdrawn respectively through the back and front of the intermediate channel, and are thus separated according to their founts at the same time that they are separated from the space-bars. Two dovetailed ribs movable in opposite directions are provided, and each matrix has a dovetailed recess in one edge and a rectangular recess in the other.
Patent GB-191022657-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Spinning Mules.
Inventor: FOGG JAMES
Filed: 1910-09-30
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 22,657. Fogg, J., and Clark, J. Sept. 30. Mules; rollers and roller heads.-The thickness of the yarn being spun is increased at predetermined intervals by imparting an independent movement to the back, or the back and middle rollers, and in some cases to the front roller as well, by means operated by the reciprocating carriage. The mechanism may be prevented from being actuated at every reciprocation of the carriage, and the number of draws of the carriage between the draws which effect the independent movement of the rollers may be varied. A carrier-wheel D, Fig. 1, is mounted to engage with wheels B<1>, C<1> mounted on the middle and back rollers B, C. Upon the stud d of the wheel D is mounted an arm d<1> which carries a pawl d<2> adapted to engage with the teeth of the wheel D, and which is connected by a link F to a swinging arm G mounted at the back portion of the frame. This arm is adapted to be engaged by a projection H<2> on the carriage, and to be swung over into the position shown in full lines on the completion of the run of the carriage. The movement of the arm G causes a corresponding movement of the arm d<1>, which rotates the carrier wheel D and imparts an anti-clockwise rotation to the rollers B, C. In order that this rotation may not be imparted to the front roller A, the crownwheel E which engages with the wheel A<1> on the front roller shaft has a free-wheel connexion comprising a ratchet arrangement with the stud on which it is mounted. If a long slub is desired, independent rotation is imparted to the front roller also, an additional spur-wheel D', Fig. 3, being mounted on the stud d and gearing with a spur-wheel A<2>, mounted loosely on the roller spindle and adapted to drive the roller A in an anti-clockwise direction through pawls A<3> and a ratchet-wheel A<4>. If it is desired that the mechanism should be operated only at every other draw of the carriage, the lever G, Fig. 1, is provided with a spring-controlled catch J, which, when the lever is moved to the right by the projection H<2>, engages with a fixed stud K and prevents any return movement of the lever. At the end of the next draw, the projection H<2> comes into contact with the end J<2> of a lever J<1> and lifts the catch J, releasing it and allowing the weight to return the arm G into position to be engaged by the projection H<2> at the end of the following draw. If a longer interval is desired between the slubs, the arm G is, when moved, locked by a catch which can be raised to release it by one of a series of projections on a ratchet-wheel which is rotated through a given number of teeth at each draw. By modifying the driving-mechanism, the independent rotation may be imparted to the back roller alone.

Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 22,807. Tangyes, Ltd., and Johnson, E. Oct. 3. Regulating and control-transmitting gear for winding and paying-out apparatus; self - sustaining gear. - Comprises lifting-appliances in which the load is allowed to descend under the action of gravity under the control of a brake. The application to a pulley-block fitted with worm gearing is described. On each side of the loosely-mounted chain-wheel a are arranged disks d, d' or clutches which are operated by the worm-wheel c mounted on a screw-thread on the spindle b and having teeth of which the edges are parallel to the axis of the wheel. Attached to the spindle is a ratchet-wheel c with occasional teeth which project above the level of the other teeth. These teeth, when engaged by a spring pawl f, canse the spindle b to be temporarily retarded so that the wormwheel c, acting on the disks d, causes them to clutch the chain-wheel prior to lifting. The load remains suspended until the hand-wheel m, is rotated in the direction for lowering, whereupon braking may be effected, if necessary, by the disks. Other devices may be used for temporarily holding the spindle b,
