Title: Improvements in Self Acting Mules.
Filed: 1903-03-05
Granted: 1904-01-14
Abstract: 5100. Hetherington & Sons, J., and Ross, G. E. March 5. Mules.-Relates to means for controlling the movement of the strap fork on to the loose pulley at the end of the outward run. The object is to free the twist-latch lever 16 gradually, so as to prevent the spring from moving the strap-fork lever too suddenly. The strap fork lever is blocked with the strap on the fast pulley by reason of a projection 18 on the underside of the twist-latch lever 16 engaging with the bracket 15. As the shaft 9 rotates, a cam 90 thereon raises the latch lever and releases it, but its motion towards the left is limited by reason of the engagement of an adjustable projection 17 thereon with the cam, until, by the further rotation of the cam, the lever is fully released. The twist-latch lever and the strap fork 7 are shown in three positions. The parts are re-set in the usual manner.

Title: Apparatus for Receiving and Storing up Messages, Signals and the like.
Inventor: POULSEN VALDEMAR
Filed: 1903-03-28
Granted: 1904-03-28
Abstract: 7292. Poulsen, V., Pedersen, P. O., and Schou, C. March 28. Telephone signals, recording.-Apparatus for receiving and storing-up speech, signals, and the like, on the principle of the "telegraphone," is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 10 shows the electric circuits and connections, the apparatus being included in an ordinary telephone circuit. The magnetisable speech carrier, wire, or band, is wound upon the two bobbins e, e<1> in helical coils. Each bobbin has a separate electromotor, and each motor has a braking-device so arranged that the brake is applied to the motor not supplied with current and from the bobbin of which the speech carrier is being drawn off. The bobbins e, e<1> are moved transversely on their spindles d, d by the forked levers e<3> fixed to the sleeves e<4> on the spindles e<5> and having studs e<6> to engage in heart-shaped cam grooves in the discs f. The armature lever c<1> is controlled by one or other of the electromagnets c<5>, c<6>, and locks one of the brake blocks b<1>, b<2> away from its brake disc b, so that on the motor supply-current and the current to the coil c being stopped, the brake is applied to the inactive motor. The middle electromagnet m is connected with a telephone transmitter or receiver, while the outer electromagnets m<1>, m<2> obliterate the speech and prepare the wire or carrier for the reception of a fresh message. The electromagnets are mounted upon a pivoted support to enable them to be brought into varying oblique positions. They have movable or adjustable cores. An indicating-pointer i moves over a scale to show what part of the speech carrier is in use, and on each side of this pointer are two other adjustable pointers l<2>, o<2> provided with contact devices so arranged that when the indicating pointer bears against one of them the circuit actuating the bobbin motor is broken. The mechanism may be brought back to its starting position automatically, and the starting in either direction or the stopping may be effected from a distance. Several delivering or hearing magnets may be employed to enable stored speech to be heard by several subscribers, or several magnets, each communicating with a sounding-cone or tube, may be used to strengthen the sound. A polarising-current, flowing through a second winding of the writing-magnet m, is used to render the speech stored more clear. This current and the obliterating-currents pass through the electromagnets in contrary directions. The apparatus may be used by itself or as a dictating-apparatus, or with a telephone installation, as shown in Fig. 10, when it has switches to start it in one direction or the other, to put it out of action, reverse, and connect it with, or disconnect it from, the line wire. When the switches w, w<1> are in their righthand position, the telegraphone apparatus is cut out, but when in their left-hand position, it is connected with the central office. The apparatus may be combined with a suitable coin-freed starting-device.

Title: Apparatus for Indicating the Amount of Materials other than Liquids in Receptacles in which such Materials may be Stored.
Inventor: HOVEY ARTHUR CLEMENT
Filed: 1903-08-24
Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 18,280. Hovey, A. C. Aug. 24. Measures of capacity.-An apparatus for indicating the amount of materials other than liquids, in hoppers or receptacles in which they may be stored, is combined with an alarm to indicate that the material has reached a certain height. The indication and alarm may be given close to, or at a distance from, the receptacle. One end a' of a balanced lever a bangs vertically in the receptacle, and may be bent or curved to facilitate the action. When the sloping side of the material reaches the lever it is displaced from its vertical position, the pointer d connected to the lever by the spindle b showing on the scale d' the height of the material. The displacement of the lever also acts on the triplever f, and releases the catch g from the stop k<1>. The weight i then falls and sounds an alarm. The rod e, which is guided by the slider l along the rods k, is also connected to a lighter weight inside the receptacle, so that by raising the weight i until the weight j touches the surface of the material, the height of the latter may at any time be ascertained by means of a gauge or scale behind the weight. The cord sustaining the weight i may be conducted to a distance, and may operate the alarm in the manner shown in Fig. 5. The cord h passes round a drum n carrying the toothed wheel n<1> which works the striking-device n<2> of the alarm bell n<3>. The return motion of the lever a may be arranged for by fitting a spring-retained projection a<2> on the upper end of the lever a, or by allowing the trip-lever to turn one way on the rod e. In a simpler form of the apparatus, shown in Fig. 8, the alarm mechanism is dispensed with, and the testing-weight j<1> is independent of the pivoted lever a with pointer d. The weight is raised by a handle p normally held in a catch p<1> at the bottom of the indicator scale p<2>.
