Title: Improvements in and relating to Screw Jacks.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM BEARD
Filed: 1905-08-22
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 16,969. Lake, W. B., and Elliot, E. F. Aug. 22. Lifting-jacks. - Relates to screw jacks and consists in means for securing the disengagement of the nut from the screw in order to obtain a quick k adjustment. Fig. 6 shows one modification of the invention. The non- rotating-screw b has a keyway engaging a lug on the casing a. The divided nut f rests in grooves in a conical recess in the pinion c, which is operated by a second pinion, as shown. A cap k closing the top of the casing has its under surface cone-shaped, so that when the jack is inverted the sections of the nut slide down the conical surface. The cap k may be formed integral with the pinion c, in which case a downwardly-projecting stud or the like engages loosely in a slot in the nut to secure the rotation of the latter. The sleeve h, which is loosely mounted in the casing, assists by its weight the disengagement of the nut when the jack is inverted. A handle, projecting outwardly through a slot in the casing, may be provided on the sleeve h. The nut f is preferably formed in three sections, short segments being removed, as indicated in Fig. 9, at the points of division. The sections are then clamped together and the thread cut, the effect being to render the thread deeper at the middle of the sections than at their corners, thereby facilitating the disengagement of the nut.

Patent GB-190618716-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Central Battery Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1906-08-21
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 18,716. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Aug. 21. Telephone systems. - In telephone exchange systems, in which a number of branch stations are connected to a main station, a speaking circuit free from self-induction is provided by an arrangement which does not involve counteracting existing sources of self-iuduction. A main station is provided with controlling-devices G<1>, G<II> for branch stations I, II, and also indicators Z each of which has a two-part winding. With the switches l, m, n, o, p in the positions shown, stations I, II receive current from the central exchange battery B, on the receiver contact being closed. If, for example, contact is established at I between the leads c, d, the controlling-device G<I> is operated and serves as a call signal, while the exchange indicator is unaffected, the coils u, v having opposite action. To put the branch stations I, II in communication, the switches x, y are moved into such a position as to touch the contacts 1, 2 simultaneously. The two branches of the circuit are bridged by windings r, t, q, s of the controlling- devices G<I>, G<II>, which act as clearing signals. To connect station I to the exchange, the switches l, m, n, o, p are shifted to the dotted-line positions and the switches x, y to the contacts 1, thus establishing a non-inductive connexion. By closing the earthing switch l, the circuit is bridged by the battery B and the controlling-device G<I>, of which only the winding r is in action. The exchange indicator also has its winding u in circuit, and, as the other winding is shunted by the earth connexion and consequently receives less current, it operates simultaneously with the indicator G<I> at the main station. Similarly, station II and any other branch stations can be connected to the exchange. The exchange indicator serves both as calling and clearing signal, being arranged to be actuated when excited and when excitation ceases. The calling of the main station from the exchange is effected by connecting the leads a, b to an alternating current source, and, to prevent this current from passing through the indicators G<I>, G<II>, a capacity z is provided. Coils w<1>, w<2> act as choking-coils, and, when two branch stations are connected, both coils are in the battery bridge, while, when a branch station is connected to the exchange, at least one coil is in this circuit. In the first case, the speaking currents are choked by coils r, t, and are provided with a path through the capacity z past which they can only flow by traversing the inductance w<2>, so that they are prevented from passing to the battery to interfere with other conversations.

Fig. 1 shows a view of the case from the inside, and Figs. 2 and 3 show sections on the lines x-x and y-y, respectively. The case is divided into upper and lower parts a, a<1>, the rear end being provided with circular openings strengthened by semicircular strips of metal e, e<1>. As the halves of the case are put together, the strips on the inside of the case pass into annular grooves in the e periphery of a metal disk g rigidly fixed to the axle, while the strips on the outside of the case pass into a groove in the edge of the plate C carried by the driving-wheel D. The weight of the case is taken at the rear end by a quadrant E pivoted to the case and resting upon a thickened part of the edge of the disk g. The pivot m of the quadrant is carried by an adjustable plate n. The quadrant is prevented from turning sufficiently to move it out of engagement with the disk g, by a slotted extension which engages a pin t on the disk. Other rolling surfaces such as a plain roller might be substituted for the quadrant. The forward end of the case is carried by a bracket G bolted to the upper and lower parts of the case, so as to hold them together, and freely mounted upon an extension of the radius rod J. To render the case oil and water tight, the edges of the upper part are provided on the inside with a strip of metal c<2>, which depends below the edge of the case and leaves a space of sufficient width to receive a strip e<2> projecting upwards from the inner edge of the lower section.
