Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 15,503. Aitken, W., and British Insulated & Helsby Cables. July 4. Exchange systems. - In a private branch exchange system, a holding-coil or relay m is bridged across the main exchange line A, Fig. 1, when the listening-key n is depressed to answer a call, but is released when the extension subscriber d, Fig. 2, answers the call. The clearing-signal at the main exchange is thus directly controlled by the extension subscriber, who may signal for a further call by vibrating his hook in the usual manner. The depression of the listening-key mechanically moves the armature 3 of the holding-relay m so as to complete the circuit of the winding 2, current flowing from the main exchange battery S' to the tip side of the cord, winding 2, armature 3, supervisory indicator o, and the ring side of the cord back to the main exchange. This circuit is maintained when the listening-key is depressed to ring up the wanted subscriber, but is released when the latter removes his receiver, current then flowing through the opposing-winding 1 of the relay m in parallel with the supervisory indicator o<1>. When a connexion is made between two extension stations, microphone current is supplied to them through the coil r and the contacts of a relay q, but when connexion is made with the main exchange, the relay q is energized over a third contact on the answering plug g and the earthed bush of the exchange jack a, so that the extension station is supplied with current from the main exchange.

Passing fluids through materials. - In a combined stretching and blowing machine, the blowing - roller is mounted in a frame pivoted on a shaft at the back of the machine, the steam and exhaust pipes forming parts of the frame, although flexible pipes may be used. The blowing - roller 14 is rotated through an attached sprocket-wheel 32, a chain 31, a double sprocket-wheel 30, loose on the back-shaft 17, suitably geared to the main shaft 2. The framework is normally inclined so that the blowing-roller 14 rests upon the last roller of the stretching part of the machine, so that stretching and blowing can go on simultaneously, the roller-frame turning about the shaft 17. When the piece is all wound on the frame is lifted to a vertical position by means of a lever and held there by pegs 18 engaging recesses in the fixed part of the machine frame i. Clutches 9, 11 are provided so that the driving of the stretching-chain can be stopped during the taking - off of the steamed piece. The operative pulley 4 on the main shaft 2 of the machine is loose thereon but drives through an attached pinion 5 gearing with a wheel 6 loose on a countershaft 7 having attached a pinion 8, which can be coupled to the countershaft 7 by one of the clutches 9. This last pinion gears with a wheel 10 loose on the main shaft 2 to which the latter can be coupled by the second clutch 11. Both clutches are carried by a rocking lever 12 so that only one can be engaged at a time. Steam is supplied to the blowing-roller 14 through a movable valve controlled pipe 20 connecting, through a stuffing- box 19, coaxial with the back shaft 17, and a fixed pipe 21, with a steam separator 22. The other end of the roller is similarly connected to a fixed exhaust pipe 25. The main shaft 2 drives the last roller of the stretching machine through spur-gear 26, 27 and the blowing-roller 14 through chain gear 28, 29, 30, 31, 32. When the roller 14 is full the drive on the main shaft 2 is stopped, as by releasing the second clutch 11, steam is shut off, the roller-frame is fixed vertically, and the roller is opened to suction to draw air through the cloth thereon. The roller 34 from which the usual inter-lapping canvas is drawn normally runs loose on the countershaft 7; when the operation is over this roller is driven by bringing the first clutch 9 into action, rewinding the canvas. Specification 15,140/09 is referred to.

Abstract: 25,044. Abraham, H., and Carpentier, J. Nov. 12, 191.0, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Electro-magnetic current meters; frequency, inductances, and capacities, measuring; voltmeters with condensers; power meters.-An alternating-current galvanometer has an electromagnet 4, Fig. 1. with or without iron, and a moving coil 7, carrying alternating currents of the same frequency, the electro-magnet 4 being in series with resistances 5, 6, and the moving coil in series with a capacity or inductance 8, these two circuits being in parallel and bridged by a resistance 9. In order to measure inductance or capacity, no resistances are used at 5, 6, 10, 11, and the bridge 9 is made of high resistance or omitted; the inductance or capacity to be measured is inserted at 8. The apparatus is connected in the same way for use as a volt - meter, a constant capacity being inserted at 8. When used as a frequency meter, the resistances 9, 10, 11 are shortcircuited, and the resistance 5 has a high value, or the connexion 5, 6 is omitted; the values of the self-induction of the electro-magnet 4 and the capacity 8 are adjusted to bring the moving coil to zero for a particular frequency, a variation in frequency causing a deflexion. The moving-coil circuit may be separate from the circuit of the electro-magnet. The moving coil may be shunted across a resistance which is in series with a resistance having a high temperature-resistance coefficient, such as a metal-filament lamp; or the coil 21 may be connected, as shown in Fig. 3, between two circuits, each containing a resistance 19 and a metal-filament lamp 20.

Abstract: 26,998. Hall, J. Dec. 2. Off-set machines; rotary machines; tripping - arrangements.-A two-revolution rotary litho press, such as that described in Specification 3367/82, has a third cylinder C mounted so as to engage with the impression cylinder B, so that the machine may be run as an off-set machine if desired. The gripper cylinder D may be used as the third cylinder instead of the cylinder C. For direct printing, the sheet from the feed board B' is printed by the cylinder A, and passes on round the cylinder B until taken by the cylinder D, the cylinder C being withdrawn from operation. The next revolution of the cylinder B may be an idle one, the cylinder then being tripped every other revolution either by mechanism as described in Specification 11,397/99 or by toggle mechanism H actuated through a link T, lever S, and cam N on the half-speed shaft O. To trip the cylinder B permanently, the lever T is tilted by the pedal G, levers W, W, and roller W<1>, so that the widened portion of the slot Z engages the pin u on the crank U, which is then not operated. If desired, this tripping- mechanism is rendered inoperative by de-clutching the shaft O from its drive, and the cylinder B then takes a sheet at every revolution. In off-set printing, the impression surface b<1> receives an imprint from the cylinder A, and on the next revolution, when tripped from the cylinder A, takes a sheet, which is pressed firmly against the wet imprint by the cylinder C, or D. After printing, the sheet is delivered by gripper flyers D' or a fly d<1>. Specification 11,974/09 is referred to.
