Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 8543. Comrie, J. O. Jan. 28. Bottles and jars, washing. -Machines for brushing bottles, jars, &c. of the type in which the vessels while moving in a circular path are cleaned externally by a central rotary brush and internally by rotary brushes projecting thereinto, are constructed so that the internal brushes automatically cease to rotate at the receiving and discharge points of the machine. The bottles are placed through holes in the carrier 37 over internal brushes 39. A central brush 27 rotating at a relatively high speed, and fixed end brushes 48, clean the exteriors of the bottles during the relatively slow rotation of the carrier. The internal brushes are driven by a crossed belt 45 engaging pulleys 44 on each brush shaft, so that only these pulleys within the arc of contact of the belt are rotated. The internal brushes are thus rendered stationary at the receiving and discharge points where the bottles are placed on and removed by hand.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Signalling Systems for Railways and the like.
IPC: B61L23/16
Filed: 1911-09-07
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 19,970. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Sept. 7. Electrical systems, automatic.-Currents of different frequency are supplied to the sections of track rails according to the position of a train and energize two relays in each section in various combinations to control one threeposition signal or two two-position signals in each section. The svstem resembles that described in Specification 18,868/10, which depends upon differences of phase. The system shown in Fig. 1 includes two sources of energy of different frequency C<1>, C<2> supplying transformers E-E<5>, the secondaries of each pair of which are connected alternatively to the track transformers F, F<1>, F<2>, through switches b on the semaphore arms. Track relays D-D<5> have each one coil supplied from the track rails, and other coils supplied directly from the transformers E-E<5>. A train H on the section A<3> de-energizes both relays D<4>, D<5> and puts the signal B<3> to danger. The switch b on the signal B<3> connects transformer F<2> to transformer E<4>. The current supplied to section A<2> is then of the same frequency as that in one coil of relay D<2>, which is closed and sets the signal B<2> to ' caution,' but differs from that supplied to relay D<3>, which remains open. The signal B<2>, in moving to ' caution,' moves its switch b and changes over transformer F<1> from transformer E<2> to transformer E<3>; the current now supplied to section A<1> is of such frequency as energizes both relays D, D<1> to put the signal B<1> to clear.' During the movement of a signal from stop ' to ' caution,' the circuit of the second transformer is made before that of the first is broken in order to keep the relay D<2> &c. energized continuously. A modification is described in which each relay has only one coil supplied with current independently of the track, and the connexions of the track transformers are such that current of one frequency is always supplied to the track, the second current being superposed thereon when the signal arm of the advance section is at ' caution ' or ' clear. The track transformers of adjacent blocks are reversely connected so that leakage between sections tends to open the relays.

Abstract: 17,597. Schneider, B. July 29. T a x i m e t e r s ; flagmechanism; actuating - detent; movable shutters for reading apertures.- When the taximeter is at " cash, " the pawl mechanism for driving the fare drums is positively held for a predetermined time, at the end of which, unless the flag has been returned to " for hire," the driving-mechanism again becomes operative. In the " hired " position shown in Fig. 2, the frame 3 which is normally oscillated by the clock or vehicle through a ratchet-and-lever mechanism is free to actuate the fare drums 2, and the shutter 6 for showing " cash " is concealed. At the end of the journey, the flag-staff is depressed farther and returned again to its horizontal position, which results in raising the lever 40 by means of a pin 38 and spring dog 42, moving the shutter 6 to bring the word "cash" into view and conceal the tariff indication, Fig. 3, and turning the spindle 11. An arm 14 attached to this spindle carries a spring pawl 15 which depresses an arm 26 so as to release hooks 23 from pins 22 on levers 19. These levers, under the influence of springs 28, thereupon turn and engage and hold the frame 3. When an interval has elapsed, a pin 30 on the clock or vehicle rotated wheel 31 by engaging hooks 29 shifts the levers 19 so as to release the frame 3, and the levers are again held by the hooks 23. If the flag is raised before the time has elapsed, an arm 34 on a lever 33 places the levers 19 in their normal position.

Abstract: 29,251. Treuhand-Vereinigung Akt.-Ges. Nov. 25, [Convention date]. Blowing; gathering molten metal; shearing.- Relates to a machine for the manufacture of hollow glass articles, bottles, &c. of the type described in Specification 14,184/05. According to the invention, each parison mould 25 is mounted on a separate sliding frame 34, which is moved vertically so as to dip the mould when the molten metal is to be gathered. The height of each parison mould is adjustable on its frame, by means of a screw 32, so as to permit the simultaneous use of moulds of various size on the same machine. The knife which cuts off the excess of metal from the parison mould is lowered on its return stroke so as to avoid disturbing the glass in the mould. The time of withdrawal of the knife from the bottom of the parison mould can be adjusted by a handwheel 56, which moves the cam 54 operating the knife. The parison mould 25 is opened by the movement of levers 27 to the position 27b, Fig. 9. A further movement of these levers to the position 27<c> causes them to strike pins 28 on levers 29, which open the neck mould 24. The blowing - head 23 and mandrel 39 are operated by a single mechanism 40, 43, so that failure of this mechanism is unlikely to cause breakage through collision of the blowing-head with the mandrel, as might occur where they are operated by independent gear.
