Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 5837. Canova, V., Ellisa, H., and Douglas Clock Co. March 10. Alarms, burglar and like.-An electric bell is rung and a lamp lighted by foot-pressure on the floor covering, which is formed in two parts A, A', each carrying metallic strips B, B<1>, which are arranged parallel to each other in the same layer and at right-angles to those of the other layer. Insulating - rings C are provided at the points of intersection. The strips of each layer are connected respectively to the two poles of a battery by means of a plug D consisting of two metal plates D<5> separated by insulation F, which are adapted to make contact with springs D' in a socket. The springs are connected by screws P, P', through an electro-magnet to the terminals of the battery. Pressure on the carpet puts the strips B, B<1> into contact, while removal of the carpet, and with it the plug, allows the springs D<2> to come together, in either case completing the circuit of an electro-magnet, which attracts an armature and releases a weighted bar, completing the lamp and bell circuits.

Title: Improvements in Space Telegraphy.
Inventor: STONE JOHN STONE
Filed: 1906-04-21
Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 9422. Stone, J. S. May 10, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Telegraphs.-Relates to multiplex systems of wireless telegraphy. Figs. 1 and 2 show the arrangement of apparatus at the transmitting and receiving stations respectively. Sonorous or persistently oscillating circuits 1 are employed at the transmitting-station, and resonant circuits 2, 3 at the receiving-station. Loop circuits L1 C1, L2 C2 are employed in conjunction with the elevatedconductor, their reactance being such as to render the elevated-conductor system highly responsive to persistent oscillating electric pieces of the two different frequencies to which the resonant circuits are tuned. The natural rate of vibration of the elevated-conductor system in response to aperiodic impulses is at a frequency differing from the two already referred to, and therefore incapable of communicating effects through the resonant circuits to the receiving -instruments; which are represented in Fig. 2 as a bolometer K<1> and telephone T'. In a modification, the loop circuits are inductively instead of directly related with the elevated conductors. Specifications No. 27,272, A.D. 1902, and Nos. 25,637 and 28,826, A.D. 1904, are referred to.

Knotted-stitch machines; governing needle thread.- Relates to means for finishing a group of stitches with a chain of knotted stitches and for breaking the thread at the close. It is shown applicable to a button-attaching; machine sewing a chain-stitch. The button clamp is actuated by a cam 49 and a rod 43. The stitch is made by a looper 52 driven through toothed gearing from a shaft 44, in co-operation with a finger 62, which is'mounted on a bar 59 actuated by a cam lever 65, and the finger 62 is oscillated on its own pivot by engagement with two adjustable stops 70, 71. During the time when the cam lever 43 rests on the dwell 50 of the cam 49, the needle passes through the work at the same place and forms a chain-of stitches which when tightened forms a knot. To this end, the thread passes between the jaws of a thread clamp 35 which normally is operated at each stroke of the needle by a cam 21 on the main shaft 19. When the chain of stitches is being formed, the clamp is kept closed by a rod 31 which is pushed under a collar 40, on the clamp spindle, by a lever 27. This lever is pivoted to the machine arm and is actuated simultaneously with the action of the dwell by a stud on a disk which is rotated from the main shaft by a worm gear. When the stitches are drawn in to a tight knot; the strain on the thread breaks it close to the last loop of the knot.
