Title: Improvements in Isochronous Centrifugal Governors.
Inventor: MORITZ FRANCIS
IPC: G05D13/10
Filed: 1909-05-15
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 11,568. Moritz, F. May 16, 1908, [Convention date]. Centrifugal governors.-In isochronous governors having crossed arms x carrying weights which are in static equilibrium and in which the centrifugal forces of the weights are balanced by a pivoted counterweight 15, the weight of the mechanism interposed between the revolving arms and the counterweight is statically balanced, for example by a weight 16 on the sector 12. The counterweight arm 14 is fixed on the same pivot as the sectors 12, bands g connected to a sliding collar transmitting the movement of the collars 9 to these sectors. The collars 9 are connected by flexible means f to sectors 4 on the revolving arms, the sectors 4 being of twice the radius of the sectors 12. With the centrifugal forces and the interposed mechanism completely balanced, and the angle between the arms 90 degrees when the counterweight rod is horizontal, the governor is isochronous. By slight deviations from the balance, by inclining the counterweight rod or by making the connexions f inclined, true isochronism may be departed from to give stability to the governor. In modifications the sectors 4 may be formed in or on the weights ; racks may replace the bands g ; or the counterweight may rest on rollers on the collar or act thereon by a pin-and-slot connexion between the collar and the counterweight arm 14.

Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 12,844. Seacombe, B. June 1. Massage; electric appliances. - A massage appliance for applying intermittent electric current to the part to be treated consists of a massage roller e, which, by its movement, actuates a magneto-generator and transmits the current from its metallic surface to the body. The surface of the roller e is insulated, and is metallically connected to an insulated metal plate h, which is joined by a wire s to a conducting-block q on the spindle of the armature, and by a wire r to an insulated currentcollecting ring p joined to one end of the armature winding. The other end of the winding is joined to the armature spindle c. When the face of the block q is parallel to the wire s, contact between them is broken, and the current flows through the wire r, the plate h, the surface of the roller e, and thence through the body to the hand of the operator, from which it passes through the permanent magnet x and the sides a to the spindle c. When a corner of the block q contacts with the wire s the current is short-circuited through the wires r, s, and plate h, so that the current transmitted through the body is intermittent. The strength of the current can be varied by varying the magnetic flux through the armature by means of an adjustable keeper y.

Fig 2 shows a plan of the carriage A in the traversing position with the brake K<1>, K<2> in its operative position. The wheels E carry limbs D arranged to swivel by means of bolts D<1> in forks C' on the ends of the wheel axle C. The wheels may be fixed in either the travelling or traversing position by means of bolts G, which engage with either of the holes f<2>, f<3> in an angle-plate F, F<1> moving with the pin D<1>. The brake wedge-block K<1>, K<2> is moved longitudinally in a support M by means of a link H<2> when a shaft H is rotated by a handle H'; the locking - bolts G being simultaneously moved by arms on the shaft H.

Abstract: 1351. Papp, O. Jau. 18. Bottles, non - refillable. - Stoppers are provided with bolts which, when locked in the bottle neck, can be unlocked but cannot be locked again, so that tampering is indicated. Bolts 3. Fig. 1, are actuated by cam-projections on a disk 8, which is rotated by pressing down a vertically sliding sleeve 11. This carries a spring pin 18, which engages a helical groove 19 in a stem 10 attached to the disk 8. A wire 24 is used to turn the sleeve 11, stopper 1, and disk 8, so as to unlock the bolts 3. At the same time, the spring pin 18 slips past ratchet teeth 21, Fig. 3, into the deepest recess, and cannot be removed thence. In this way, the bolts 3 when retracted cannot be relocked. In a modification, the locking-bolts are mounted on springs and pressed apart by a conical pin. In a second modification, sliding parts are omitted, and a central stem is locked against rotation by a pawl.
