Patent GB-190916117-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Impulse or Step-by-Step Clock-work Mechanism.
Inventor: PARSONS ISAAC HARDY
IPC: G04C13/10
Filed: 1909-07-10
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 16,117. Parsons, I. H., and Ball, A. E. J. July 10. Electric clocks. - A secondary clock is so constructed that a fine adjustment of the parts is unnecessary, and a compact arrangement of the mechanism around the centre arbor is obtained, means being also provided for preventing overdriving of the ratchet-wheel or for locking the wheel against external influences. The apparatus is designed to work quietly. The driving-pawl F engages with a ratchet-wheel G having a few large teeth, the wheel being geared to the centre-wheel L. A second ratchet - wheel J, having the same number of teeth as the wheel G, but oppositely disposed, may be mounted on the same arbor, Fig. 1. A semi-rigid locking- stop I is then provided on the driving-lever E, the end I<2> being adapted to engage with the wheel J at the end of the forward stroke. Alternatively, only one coarse-toothed ratchetwheel may be provided, the pawl F and the locking-stop carried by the lever E being then adapted to engage the wheel at different points. To lock the ratchet-wheel for all positions of the driving - pawl, the method described in Specification 19,906/05 may be adopted, or an alternative arrangement, in which are the two large-toothed ratchet-wheels G, J mounted on the same arbor may be used for this purpose, Fig. 6. The pawl F and back-stop click H are made of spring steel wire, or preferably of a non-rusting metal, and are bent to " hair-pin " shape, thus by their lightness obviating noise. The pawl F is pivoted on the lever E, but is not controlled by the usual spring; a padded buffer-spring E<2>, Fig. 1, is so fixed that the tail F<2> of the pawl strikes against it at the end of the stroke, the pawl being thereby put into engagement with the next tooth. All the stops and clicks may be padded with felt &c., and further to minimize noise the armature may be so mounted, Fig. 1, that it swings over and not into contact with the magnet - poles. A dash-pot or bellows-like device M may be connected to the armature, so that while a quick 'motion of the armature lever in one direction is permitted, the return driving-stroke is performed slowly, without shock or noise. The return movement may be effected by gravity alone. Specifications 24,620/04 and 919/07 are also referred to. Motionwork.-The centre-arbor L<1> passes through a pipe N<3>, Fig. 5<A>, which supports the pipe of the hour-wheel N<4> and serves to keep the weight of the hour-wheel and of the hourhand from the centre-arbor.
Patent GB-190919324-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Door-holders.
Inventor: HARDACRE JOHN HENRY
Filed: 1909-08-23
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 19,324. Hardacre, J. H. Aug. 23. Door holders.-Relates to door holders of the kind in which a spring- controlled lever, pivoted at its centre to the lower part of the door, carries a rubber stop-piece which contacts the floor, and consists chiefly in the provision of a spring catch on the door by which the holder may be held in the inoperative position. A lever a, a' pivoted to a plate c on the lower part of the door is fitted with a rubber or other stop-piece d, which is caused to grip the floor by means of a spring e attached to the other end of the lever and to the door. To render the device inoperative, the end a is depressed below a catch g, Figs. 2 and 4, which is caused to engage the top of the lever by a spring plate h. The device may be enclosed in a casing in the manner of a lock and fixed on to the door.

Abstract: 19,573. Boyd, T. A., and Boyd, J. & T. Aug. 26. Delivery, stopping.-When a thread breaks in twisting-machines, a balanced lever 7 falls into the path of a rocking bar 8 and thereby moves a vertical lever 5, which inserts a clip 6 between the rollers. A spring 9 is arranged to engage with a catch 5<3> on the vertical lever so as to hold it in either the operative or inoperative position.
Patent GB-190923747-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Electric Signalling Means.
Inventor: GRAHAM EDWARD ALFRED
Filed: 1909-10-16
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 23,747. Graham, E. A. Oct. 16. Switches.-A switch of the kind tl at transmits, for signalling purposes, a single impulse of current during a complete revolution of the handle is constructed with an intermediate loose arm, a spring-controlled operating-spindle, and a lock against return of the handle. The handle S is fixed to a spindle k passing through the lid of a box containing the contact mechanism. On turning the handle clockwise from the normal position, Fig. 5, a spring o bearing against a stud n on a crank-arm fast on the spindle k is strained, Fig. 6, and after a certain interval a loose arm p is urged forward by a stud k<1>, and a lever h, having a curved back h<1> against which bears the roller end of the arm p, is moved so as to carry spring-mounted contacts f up to fixed contacts d lying in the circuit to be completed. The stud n passes its dead-centre position before the circuit is complete, and the spring thereafter tends to throw the spindle and the arm p to its 'off' position. The circuit remains completed until the armp is carried off the curved lever h<1>, the length of which determines the period of make, and is then opened quickly by the pressure of the spring g throwing forward the loose arm p. A ratchet-wheel r and a fixed pawl q prevent the circuit from being opened by a backward movement. As a modification, to prevent the circuit from being kept closed by holding the handle, as shown in Fig. 7, the handle may be coupled to the spindle by a free-wheel clucth &c., the spring o then acting to throw forward the arm p, whether the handle is held or not. In using the switch for sending current to one or more bells, one or more adjacent signal bells are used to indicate the proper working. Two transmitting-switches S<1>, S<2>, Fig. 10, may be operated alternatively by a single handle S through free-wheel clutches. The switch may be used to transmit impulses of current to step-by-step indicating-devices.

Hand and portable pumps.-Relates to cooling-apparatus, for machine guns, of the kind having a portable condensed water tank, as described in Specification 3092/08, [Class 92, Ordnance &c.]. The invention consists in providing the tank with a hand-pump for returning the condensed water to the waterjacket of the gun. The tank B, shown in vertical section in Fig. 8, comprises a pump barrel A communicating by a valve a' with the water in the tank, and by a passage a<2> and valve C<2> with a chamber C'. A flexible pipe c<1>, Fig. 7, connects the chamber C' with the delivery opening of the water-jacket C of the gun. The pump handle A<2> may be made as shown in Fig. 7, and is then provided with flats acted upon by a spring plunger, so that the handle may be held in either the working position or in the inoperative turned-down position. In the construction shown in Fig. 8, the rod A<x> of the pump plunger has two threaded portions a<1x> and a<3x> and a flat ax, and passes through a partly-threaded plug a<2x>. The thread a<3x> limits the working stroke of the plunger so as to protect the gunner's knuckles, and the thread a<1x> locks the plunger during transport. When the folding-handle is employed, the rod A<x> is plain.
