Patent GB-191221404-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Talking Machines.
Inventor: DENNISON WILBURN NORRIS
Filed: 1912-09-20
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 21,404. Dennison, W.N. Sept.22,1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 17,345/10.] Driving; feed-motions. -The motor and friction roller of a gramophone are mounted on a swing- ing frame so that the friction roller disengages itself from the friction cone when the tone-arm is moved across the record before changing the record. As the tone-arm 12 and stylus 16 traverse the record towards the centre, a constant linear velocity of the stylus 16 on the record is maintained by a segmental worm on the tone-arm rotating a shaft 65 having universal joints 67, 68, which feeds the friction roller 42 radially towards the centre of the friction cone 40, integral with the turntable 8, by means of gears 64,63 and a feed-screw 59. The spring motor 25 is mounted on a shaft 26 carried in rigid brackets 26<1>, and has one end of its spring attached to the shaft 26 and its other end to a spring barrel 27, to which is attached the worm-wheel 46 driving the worm 47 for rotating the friction wheel 42, and the governor. The spring 25 is rewound by a wheel 31 having a shaft projecting through the casing and in mesh with a wheel 30 on the shaft 26. A ratchet-wheel 35 on the shaft 26 and a pawl on a pivot 37 on the barrel 27 prevent unwinding of the spring 25. The speed-regulator 48 acts on the governor disk, and another brake or stop lever 53 operates through a rod 50 pivoted at 51 to the framing 60 carrying the motor, and has a brake pad 49 also acting on the governor disk. The frame 60 carries the motor 27, the governor, the friction wheel 42, and the lower jointed portion 65 of the shaft from the tone-arm. The frame 60 is pivoted on the shaft 26 to move sufficiently to permit the friction wheel 42 to leave the friction cone 40 when the motor is stopped to change the record. To start the motor, the brake 49 is removed from the governor disk, whereupon the spring 25 tends to unwind itself at both ends. The outside end therefore drives the friction roller 42 by way of the barrel 27, worm-wheel 46, and worm 47, and also drives the governor ; the inner end rotates the shaft 26, but, owing to the pawl and ratchet 35, the effect of this is to raise the frame 60 until the roller 42 engages the cone 40. When the brake 49 is applied to stop the motor, the whole of the rotating parts are locked together, so that the friction roller 42 and frame 60 fall by gravity on to an adjustable stop 61.

Abstract: 22,289. Ross, R. L., and Ross & Co., R. L. Oct. 1. [Cognate Application, 26,625/12.] Tappet-actuated pumps; quick-return motions. -Lubricating-pumps are provided with means for giving a slow delivery, and quick suction stroke. The reservoir a, fitted with a strainer c, carries a number of horizontally-disposed cylinders d, in which work plungers g each having a suction passage g<2> which is opened when the plunger is withdrawn from the cylinder. Each plunger has a nut block h mounted upon it, these blocks being connected in pairs by bars i, while each bar is operated by the rotating wheel so as to give a slow positive delivery stroke. The quick suction stroke is caused by the spring k. The stroke may be varied by adjusting the position of the block h, by turning the spindle by the aid of the screwed plug m. The device shown in Fig. 3 is fitted to the delivery pipe so that the delivery passage may be closed and oil forced past a ball valve to an outlet, thus indicating the rate of delivery. The apparatus may be operated by hand if desired. In an alternative quick-return device, a wheel with a single tappet is geared to the wheel j so as to have a higher speed and thus give a positive quick-return stroke. In another alternative, a bent weighted lever may be used. (For Figures see next page.)
