Patent GB-190905565-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Electrical Control of Railway Signals.
IPC: B61L5/16
Filed: 1909-03-08
Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 5565. Cumont, F., and Compagnie de Signaux Electriques pour Chemims de Fer. March 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Visual outdoor signals; slots, reversers, and like apparatus.-To reduce the power necessary for the control and operation of a railway signal, the dynamo or magneto-electric machine is placed at the top of the post, and the counterweight is attached to an arm which is vertical when the signal is at 'danger.' Further, when a magnetoelectric machine is used, the armature is submitted to the influence of the field only at the moment at which it should operate. A frame on the top of the signal post 1 carries a shaft 3 on which is mounted a pinion 6, which gears with a toothed quadrant 24, on the pivot of which is mounted the semaphore arm 25 and a counterweight arm 26. The shaft also carries a disk 7 which has a tooth 8 bevelled on one side to allow of the rotation of the disk in one direction only past the armature 10 of an electro-magnet 11. On a sleeve 15 on the shaft 3 is also mounted the motor armature 16, which can slide on, and also rotate, the shaft. It is moved along the shaft by an arm 18<b> of a lever engaging a collar 17, the other arm 18<a> acting as the armature of magnets 20, 21 and moving the armature 16 according to which magnet is energized. The counterweight arm carries a bridge 28, which connects the segmental contacts 29, 30 except when the semaphore arm is in its vertical 'safety' position, on which the bridge connects the contacts 31, 32, when the controlling- relay 33 is energized and the contacts 34, 35 are closed. The magnet 11 is energized from the battery 36 and attracts its armature 10, thereby bridging the contacts 13, 14 and completing a circuit from the battery 36 through line 37, contacts 13, 14 and 29, 30, magnet 20, and armature 16, back to the battery. The magnet 20 moves the armature 16 to the left into the position shown in Fig. 1 and so into the field of the magnets 22. The armature is thereby rotated and raises the semaphore to 'safety,' on which the circuit is broken at contacts 29, 30 and a circuit made through contacts 31, 32 to energize the magnet 21 to withdraw the armature 16 from the magnet field, the sleeve 15 being held up against the bearing 4 and thus locking the semaphore at 'safety' until the relay 33 is de-energized, when the counterweight 27 is allowed to return the semaphore to 'danger.' With a disk signal, the shaft may be horizontal and the vertical shaft driven through bevel-gearing; or the shaft may be vertical and the counterweight chain passed over a pulley. When a dynamo is used instead of a magneto-electric machine, it is unnecessary to remove the armature from the field, but the mechanism is retained to give the armature a slight movement to lock it, as before, against the bearing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Art of Forming, Attaching and Positioning Nick Pins in Type Moulds.
IPC: B41B7/04
Filed: 1909-07-29
Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 17,581. Lanston Monotype Corporation, [Bancroft, J. S., and Knight, A. L.]. July 29. Moulds for type-casting machines. In order to position accurately and fasten securely a nickpin in a type mould, the nick-pin is subjected to a deforming pressure within a cavity formed by the junction of the undercut nick-pin recess of the mould block and an associated die. A dieblock 1, provided with. a groove 3 corresponding in shape to the desired protruding section of the nick-pin, is secured in a block 4, in which is also held a hardened steel p'ate 5. This plate serves as a datum line or gauge for locating the protruding section of the nick-pin when the mould-block 6 is clamped against the plate 5 with its nick-pin face against the block 1 by suitable means, such as wedges or screws. The recesses in the blocks 1, 6 may not exactly register, as shown in Fig. 4. A tubular nick-pin blank is inserted in the junction of the recesses, and is then expanded, preferably by cold pressure. The lower end of the nick-pin blank is closed by a plug of soft metal, such as copper, and the upper end of the blank, projecting above the mould-block, is fitted to a cylinder 11 charged with fluid such as oil, so that when pressure is applied to a piston 12 as by a falling weight, or by an accumulator or hydraulic press, the blank is expanded to fill the recesses. One or more depressions or projections in the undercut recess of the mould-block prevent the accidental displacement of the nick-pin. The projecting end of the pin is afterwards cut off. Specification 27,480/03 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Air Valves for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BRANDT EMIL
IPC: F02M23/09
Filed: 1909-10-04
Granted: 1910-09-22
Abstract: 22,544. Brandt, E. Oct. 4. Spray carburettors.-When the throttle valve is closed or nearly closed, and only at such times, an auxiliary valve is allowed to open by suction to admit air to the cylinders to act as a brake and prevent the formation of a vacuum. The valve casing a has a flange b for attachment to the carburettor, and a cover f with air-inlet holes h covered with gauze k. The throttle valve u has the usual diametrically opposite holes v and a third hole w approximately at right-angles to these. It is flanged at z to fit over projections 3 on the cover f. The valve is loaded by a spring 15 and is provided with a.pin 7 working over a cam-ring r in the cover q. The valve is actuated by a lever 12 and provision is made to allow it to slide. When the valve is turned so that the ports v are nearly closed, the pin 7 comes opposite a depression in the ring r, and the engine suction through the hole w draws the valve u to the right and admits air through the holes f. Rubber 'buffers are provided at 19. The Provisional Specification. also describes a construction inwhich the throttle valve in the form of a cylindrical plug comes just over the air valve so as to prevent it from opening until predetermined suction is reached.

Filed: 1911-11-02
Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 24,335. Bohm, S. Nov. 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Folding paper.- Paper sheets are formed with successive folds at right - angles to each other by means of apparatus in which moving bands are dispensed with, the folds being produced by blades all actuated from a vertically reciprocating main slide, the blades forcing the papers through slots in stationary plates. As shown, the sheets are placed on a table 5, and the first fold is produced by forcing the paper through a slit in this table by means of a rule 6 on a slide 3 which moves in a vertical guide 2. The slide 3 is actuated from a pedal 4, or it may be power-driven. The slide 3 carries an angle iron 7 with a roller 8 which acts on a lever arm 10 on a shaft 9 to which is fixed an arm 19 fitted with a counterweight 18. The roller 8 moves these parts to the position shown in Fig. 2 and by means of lever- and-link mechanism 12, 13, 16 a vertical folding plate 17 is caused to assume the position shown. The once-folded sheet is held in position to receive the second fold by a pivoted clip 21 which is opened to receive the folded sheet by a projection 23 on the slide 3. As the slide 3 returns after the release of the pedal 4, the blade 17 moves forward under the action of the counterweight 18 and forces the paper through a slit in a plate 22, thus forming the second fold. The third fold is completed simultaneously with the formation of the first fold in the next paper. This fold is effected by a blade 25 which is actuated by the engagement of a roller 28<a> on a projection 28 on the slide with an arm 30 on a sprmg - controlled shaft 29 connected by an angle-lever 31 to the blade 25. The finished product is delivered by a pair of rollers 32, 33 which are formed with ends of larger diameter than the middle so as to grip the sheets at the edges, but strips 36 are arranged on the rollers to grip and draw in the edges of the folded paper. The rollers 32, 33 are driven from the pedal mechanism. The paper may receive more than three folds.
