Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 23,981. Justice, P. M., [International Continuous Filter Press Co.]. Oct. 19. Fatty oils, extracting by pressure. Apparatus for expressing oil and water for garbage as described in Specification 8924/07, is provided with automatic means for periodically cleaning the filtering- plates by a backward flow of the liquid, and is arranged so as to give increased filtering - surface. The material is passed by a screw B through a cylinder A of which the first section A<b> has filter plates E<2> let in at the top, bottom, and sides, and the next section A<c> has a filter plate E<1> at the bottom only. The plate E<1> forms a top to a water - tight box G<1>, which is supported by wedges K<2>, K<3> and the spindle of a piston working in a cylinder A<7>, so that it can be lowered and removed through a hinged door in the side of the hollow bed D which supports the cylinder. The liquid from the boxes G<2> behind the plates E<2> passes through branches P<21> to a pipe L<3>, which encircles the cylinder, and thence through a reservoir R<1> to a cylinder W<1>. From the plate E<1> the liquid passes through flexible pipes H<2> to a similar cylinder W. The back-flow for cleansing it is obtained by means of these cylinders, the construction of which is shown in Fig. 6. The flow of liquid is normally from the pipe P<6> to the pipe L<8> over the partition a<10>, but, when the aperture c<10> is closed by the valve V<5> and compressed air is admitted through the pipe N<5>, the liquid is forced backwards from pipe P<6> and reservoir R' to the filter-plates. The valve V<5> and the valve on the pipe N<5> are operated by cams on a shaft rotated intermittently from the shaft of the screw B by means of a clutch. The valve V, through which the solid material is discharged, is fixed to a sleeve S<1> connected to a piston in a cylinder A<3>, to either end of which compressed air can be admitted. When the valve is carried back far enough, jaws c<1> on the valve engage with jaws on a collar t fixed to the shaft F, and the valve with the knives K thereon rotates while the plug of material is discharged. A loose sleeve S'‹ prevents the rolling up of rags &c. about the shaft F.

Abstract: 2275. Stromberg, A., and Willis, G. M. Jan. 29. Counters actuated by revolving-mechanism with snap action.-In a single-step counting- apparatus actuated by a worm and specially adapted for use in electric measuring-instruments, such as watt - meters, an intermittent " snap " action is obtained for the units numeral-wheel by causing the continuouslyrotating worm-spindle 149 to be axially raised by a cam 153 of pitch equal to that of the worm 150. No motion is thus imparted to the wormwheel 148 by the rotation of the worm, but at the end of each complete rotation, the worm spindle falls suddenly by its weight, and during its descent acts as a rack upon the worm-wheel, thereby rotating it through one tooth. A second cam 170 is provided to cause the descent of the spindle positively if this is delayed. The various brackets supporting the spindles and the cam-rollers 156, 171, which co-operate respectively with the cams 153, 170, are slotted so as to be capable of adjustment on the frame of the apparatus.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Tell-tale or Electrical Supervision Apparatus for Watchmen and the like.
Inventor: GOLDSTEIN ALBERT
IPC: G07C1/20
Filed: 1911-03-11
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 6157. Goldstein, A. March 11. Watchmen and workmen, supervision systems for.-Relates to an electric system comprising transmitters for sending signals periodically through various stations unless watchmen visit these and break the circuit, the stations being provided with attachments for portable telephones which are automatically put in circuit at the proper times; fire alarms being also fitted. The wiring is shown in Figs. 1 and 2, where T represents the normal signal transmitter with a code wheel M, and I and II denote the stations. A clock-driven disk 16 revolves once a week, and during night hours and week-ends keeps closed contacts 19, 21 for the telephone circuit and a contact 17 for the normal signal. A disk 1, in electrical connexion with the clockdriven disk, at intervals of thirty minutes closes contacts 2, 3 in turn for the sub-stations I, II. At a station, I for instance, a signal is sent unless the watchman by insertion of a key in an opening 13 has set a notched disk 14 going to open the contacts 6, 61. If a signal arrives at the supervising-station, the watchman is called up. If the controlling-disks 16 should stop, a disk 32, synchronously driven, stops also, thus failing to raise a lever 30, which periodically raises a dash-pot on being engaged by pins 33,34 on the disk. This, sinking down, releases the pallet 25 of clock-work mechanism, which then sends a different code signal by means of a wheel 22. The circuits of this failure-transmitter IV and the normal transmitter T include resistances 74, 75 and 72, 73, which ensure that only magnets D<1>, E<1> at the supervising-station come into action, lighting lamps P', Q'. The magnets D, D<1>, E, E<1>, K are normally energized, and magnets 47, F are not energized, the magnet F being balanced. For fire alarm, a transmitter W is employed operated from switches B' between the connexions 53, 57 of the house circuits. The switch B' first makes contact at C and then breaks contact with terminals b on the wire 53. The first contact at C shortcircuits the magnet K, breaking contact at 56 and 63 and closing circuit at 76, 77, and 78. The magnet F is simultaneously unbalanced, and opens the circuit at the switches f, f<1>. By these changes, magnets H, H<1> are brought into circuit and attract spring-controlled levers h, h<1>, so that pawls thereon engage and rotate disks on a spindle r so as to bring an arm thereon to a first position t engaging a pallet w of a transmitter W. Subsequent withdrawal of the switch B<1> from terminals b allows the magnets H, H<1> to release the levers h, h<1>, which spring back and advance the disks another step by means of a second pair of pawls i, i<1>, thus disengaging the arm t from the pallet and setting the alarm transmitter in action. All four lamps P, P<1>, Q, Q<1> respond to the stronger impulses of this circuit.
