Abstract: 10,510. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. May 19. Treadle mechanism.-Relates to treadle-driving gear applicable to the machine described in Specification No. 261, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Sewing &c.], in which a starting-lever 39 is caused first to close the work-clamp of the machine, then to start the band wheel in the right direction, and finally to operate the starting- mechanism of the machine. The band wheel is driven by a pair of independent treadle boards operating two cranks. The starting-lever 39 is pivoted on a shaft 30 and passes through an L-shaped slot 38 in the table. The first movement of the lever rotates the shaft 30. A lever 53, which has previously been in engagement with a notch 55, is moved away, thereby allowing the closing of the work-clamp, which has been until then held open by the chain 59. Simultaneously a lever 40 is rotated and a pawl-lever 42 engages the ratchet-wheel 47 and rotates it together with the band wheel, to which it is fixed. The final movement of the handle about its pivot 32 rotates the bell-crank projection 33 and by means of a chain 34 closes the clutch. The free end of the pawllever 42 is supported by a fixed pin 45. It carries a pin 49 which on the forward stroke passes under a cam surface 50, but on the return movoment the pin is engaged by the upper cam-surface so that it is raised out of engagement with the ratchet teeth.

Patent GB-190609859-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Motor Starting and Regulating Switches for Organ Blowing, Pumping up Water Reservoir and similar Devices.
Inventor: JACOBY HENRY CHARLES EDWARD
Filed: 1906-04-27
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 9859. Jacoby, H. C. E. April 27. Switches.-Relates to an electric switch for use in organ-blowing or reservoir-filling, and to that type having a wheel rotatable by a rope connected to a float or other movable part of the cistern or bellows. The object is to provide a cam-projection on the rope-wheel, which allows a pivoted arm to insert resistance in the armature circuit in certain positions of the wheel. The wheel b, Fig. 2, is rotatable on a spindle c in the switchboard m, and is connected to the float in the tank or reservoir by a rope a, a counterweight g tending to turn the hub of the wheel in opposition to the rope a. Connected contacts i on a flange h of the wheel bridge a circular ring contact j<1> with any of a series of resistance terminals j<111>. Fig. 1 shows 'the parts in starting position, current passing between segments s, j<11>, through an arm n pivoted at c<11>, circuit w, plate j<1>, contacts i, and resistances such as t. The rope a then pulls the wheel round till the contacts wipe over the segment j<11> with no resistance in circuit. At this point, a camprojection q on the wheel is discontinuous, and allows a roller p on the arm n to be pulled by a spring r and fall inwards towards the wheel. The arm n is normally kept from falling inwards by means of a hold-on magnet u, but should the magnet become de-energised by failure of the current, the upper end of the arm inserts resistance t<1> before the current is switched on again. To enable the bellows to be pumped up quietly, the resistance t' may, by suitably shaping the Camprojection, be kept in the circuit at all positions of the rope wheel except that in which the bellows are full.

Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 12,488. Herde und Ofenfabrik Commanditges. F. A. C. Gutjahr & Co. May 9, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901 j. Heating by electricity.-An electric stove consists of an electric heater 11 located in a casing which has a large exterior surface; so that superheating of the air and too rapid cooling when the current is cut off are avoided. The casing, which may be made of majolica, brick, or like insulating-material, is divided into two unequal compartments by a wall 8. The compartments communicate with the external atmosphere by separate passages 1, 7. These passages, which may end in a lower common aperture, may be closed by a slide 3 moving in guides in an iron bed-plate. When the current is switched on, there is free communication between the compartments and the external atmosphere to cause a circulation of the air and to allow the excess of air in the stove, due to expansion, to escape. When the stove is slightly heated, the slide 3 closes the passages. The upper part of the stove is preferably filled with firebricks.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Electrical Circuit Breakers of the Loose Handle Type
Inventor: HAMLYN WILLIAM PANCRAS
Filed: 1906-12-01
Granted: 1908-01-01
Abstract: 27,358. Hamlyn, W. P. Dec. 1. Switches; cut-outs.-In a switch operated by toggle-levers or equivalent arrangements, two additional levers are pivoted on the contact-arm ; the closing force is applied to one of the levers instead of being applied directly to the contact-arm, the roller end of this lever bearing upon another part of the arm and forming a temporary fulcrum, which is maintained by the second lever having a long tail resting in a catch ; the catch can be released by a tripping-electromagnet, the switch then opening whether or not the handle is held. When the switch occupies its closed position, as shown in Fig. 1, the closing toggle D, E rests against a stop Y, and is overshot. The lever C to which the force is applied is pivoted to the long trigger lever M at K, and its other end, provided with a roller S, bears against the end of a downwardly-extending lever L integral with the contact-arm A, the part L being close to the pivot H of the arm A. The trigger lever M is bifurcated, and is bent at K into a short crank B, which is pivoted to the switch arm A at J, the arm also being bifurcated and carrying the main brush P and subsidiary contact X. A trigger F retains the lever M, which in turn holds up the lever C in the bearing position, against the forces due to gravity and the springiness of the brushes. When the trigger is tripped by the movement of an electromagnetic core 0, the trigger lever M swings over as shown in Fig. 4, the lever C drops until the roller S becomes free of the projection L, and the switch then opens, assuming the position of Fig. 2. To close the switch, the lever is first depressed to the dotted-line position, so as to bring the end of the lever M back into its catch, and the roller S into the position where it bears on the projection L ; the handle is then raised, so as to straighten and finally overshoot the toggle D, E. In a modification the handle Z may be a separate piece from the first toggle lever E, the two being connected by projections and a spring, in order to allow for accidental knocks. The toggle D, E may be replaced by a roller acting as a cam on the lever C. The mechanism forms, in the closing and closed positions of the circuit-breaker, a collapsible closed polygon or triangle which does not form part of the toggle device.
