Title: Improvements in Syllable Writing Machines.
Inventor: CARSALADE PAUL DE
IPC: B41J7/90
Filed: 1909-07-02
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 15,465. Carsalade, P. de, and Escarras, G July 2. Type - wheel actions; keyboards; type-wheels; case-shift mechanism.-Relates to syllableprinting machines. (1) The keyboard is divided into groups a<1> .... a<8>, Fig. 1, corresponding to type-sectors 6<1> ... 6<8> on nested sleeves mounted in a printing-frame u swinging on shafts 17, 18. (2) The type sectors each comprise a semicircular bar with upper and lower case characters on opposite sides of a central radial arm. The radial arms are guided between rings 10 on a shaft 11, and the sectors are arranged so that a concave line is presented to a vertically-disposed roller platen. (3) The nested sleeves carry gear - wheels 9<1> ... 9<8> engaging gear-wheels 16<1> ... 16<8> on nested sleeves on the shafts 17, 18, which sleeves are actuated from the keyboard through crown-wheels y<1> ... y<8> and pinions 15<1> ... 15<8> keyed on the sleeves for adjustment to engage with either side of the crown-wheels and so reverse the direction of rotation of the type-sectors for case shift. Each crown-wheel, as y<3>, Fig. 6, is mounted on a sbaft x<3> carrying a bevel segment v actuated from the keys b, Figs. 1 and 9, of the corresponding group, through a rock-shaft h<3> and a pinion s, which rolls on a bevel segment w normally locked by a catch controlled by a cam 3 on a second rock-shaft n<3> actuated by the keys. The movement of the segment v is determined by a catch 2 on the rock-sbaft n<3>, the segment w being simultaneously freed, and the further movement of the rock-shaft h<3> brings a roller t into engagement with the printing-frame u to effect impression. The shafts h<3>, n3 are actuated from the keys through rails g, m engaged respectively by arms e and shoulders f on parts d extending in alinement from the keys ; the shoulders f are in a stepped series to time selectively the actuation of the shaft n<3>.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Checking and Recording Receipts.
Inventor: ROTH ADOLF
Filed: 1909-08-13
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 18,689. Roth, A. Aug. 14, 1908, [Convention date]. Sales, systematic arrangement for controlling.-Relates to means for checking the receipts at places such as cafÚs where payments are made at a number of places, the apparatus showing the amounts received for the various items and at the various places. Each commodity is represented by a key 3, which on depression and by means of balls in a tube thrusts a bar 4 against the action of a spring 12 threaded on its forked end, thereby causing a pivoted pawl 14 to move a spring- controlled strip 5 guided in combs 13 so as to show a number at each end of the strip. The key is depressed once for each portion of the commodity required, a maximum of four being shown in the strips in Fig. 1. The indicating- strips 5 are locked by detents 19, which are released by a plate 20 rocked by an incline 22 on a bar 23 having a handle 23<1> for manipulation The bar 23 also rings a bell 26. For totalling and recording the items supplied, a projection 28 on the key-operated slide 4 engages a spring-controlled slide 27 of L-shaped section, which carries a stirrup 6, the ends of which engage the slide 27 and a perforated cover 35, between which and the upper similarlyperforated cover of the tray a record sheet is placed. The stirrup 6 is thus moved a step at a time with each actuation of its key and remains held by the cover-plate at the highest indication, the slide 27 being returned each time by its spring. The total of the items supplied is thus observed by the position of the upper end of the stirrup in the perforated plate, and the record sheet is correspondingly marked. The perforations are arranged in groups, a row corresponding to each pay place, provision for two being shown in Fig. 1. Each row has a slide 27 and stirrups 6, and the tray must be set transversely to bring the projection of the slide 27 opposite to the pin 28 in the key bar. For this purpose, the tray has a projecting plate 46 stepped to engage one of a series of spring-controlled rods 49, the tray being traversed by springs 47 when the rod 49 pushed in frees a catch 43 for the plate 46. The rod 49 is shouldered to be held in the inner position by the plate 46, and an indicator for the pay place is released by the rod. The key-rods 4 are locked against actuation by means of a comb 63, which blocks the end of the key-rods until moved by a spring 66 when the tray is set. A shaft 59 and arm 57 re-sets the tray to normal and frees the waiters' setting-keys 52.

Feeding sheets.-Apparatus for feeding bands, labels, and wrappers, to packing and like machines comprises a receptacle 1 for the bands &c. having a movable bottom 2, which is gradually elevated by a screw 3 rotated by ratchet gearing 6. The ratchet gear is arranged so that the operative stroke of the pawl is made by a spring and the return stroke by a cam, so that the feed ceases should the top of the pile be high enough. The bottom 2 is integral with a bracket 2<1>, which carries a pivoted halfnut 4 capable of being turned into or out of engagement with the screw 3 by an eccentric guide-rod 14 turned by a handle 15. The receptacle 1 may be provided with hinged sides to facilitate discharging and with inwardly - projecting pins 27 for holding the top of the pile. The top label is taken by a device 11 which receives a supply of adhesive from a roller 23 rotating in a trough 24, removes a label, and then applies it to a package in the trough 38. The device 11 is carried by a sleeve on a shaft 19 carried by a lever 62 on a shaft 61.

Abstract: 12,833. Johnson, A. H., and O'Donnell, J. P. May 29. Indicating movements of trains; miniature signals or indicators.-A sheet or diagram of the track is used in the signal cabin and electromagnetically-operated indicators or electric lamps show through holes in the diagram and indicate " line blocked " at each end of a section occupied by a train. The indicators or lamps are operated by track relay circuits and track batteries. The indicator comprises two " doll's eyes " 20, 21, Fig. 2, on the rotary armature 22 of a magnet 19, the " line blocked " indication being given by the " doll's eye " 21 when the magnet 19 is de-energized. When a train 39, Fig. 1, is in the block between the rail insulation joints 11, 12, the track battery 17 is short - circuited and the track relay 14 is de-energized. The circuits of the indicator magnets at the apertures 2, 3 of the diagram 1 including the battery 23 are broken at the dropped armature 14<a> and the " line blocked " indications are given at the apertures 2, 3. When the train passes into the section between the rail insulation joints 12, 13, the track relay 14 is again energized and track relay 15 is de-energized. The circuit of the indicator magnet at the aperture 2 is again closed at the armature 14<a> but the circuit of the indicator magnet at the aperture 3 remains broken at the dropped armature 15<a> while the circuit of the indicator magnet at the aperture 4 is broken at the dropped contact 15b. The indicators at the apertures 3, 4 thus show " line blocked." Two differently coloured electric lamps are used in a modification instead of each indicator and similar circuits to those mentioned above are used to light up one or other of the two lamps. In case of failure of the circuits, the corresponding indicators will indicate " line blocked permanently; or in the case of electric lamp indicators the lamps will not be lighted up. A three-position indicator may be used showing " line blocked," " line clear," and " circuit failed."
