Title: Improvements relating to Wheel-guards or Obstruction Removers for Road Vehicles
Inventor: SANZ PEDRO ARRIETA Y
Filed: 1903-07-30
Granted: 1904-06-30
Abstract: 16,761. Arrieta y Sanz, P. July 30. Wheel guards and obstruction-removers for electric, steam, and other tramcars are arranged automatically to act upon the alarm, apply the brake, and cut off the motive power. Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 3 a view from below, showing the device applied to a tramcar. A roller f, formed of pieces of ribbed rubber or other material keyed to a rod, is carried by counterweighted levers D, D' pivoted in supports B, B' respectively. The roller is rotated in the opposite direction to the wheels of the vehicle by means of a sprocket-wheel G, which is connected to a wheel 0 on the axle of the vehicle wheels through chain and sprocket and spur gearing, or to an electric motor by chain and sprocket gearing. A folding cage R is pivotallv mounted on a rod Q secured to the levers D, D', and is provided with an arm r, which is connected by a chain r' to the brake handle S in such a manner that, when the cage is depressed by the weight of an obstacle, the handle is turned, the brake applied, and the motive power cut off.

Title: Improvements in Calculating Machines
Inventor: LANGE JOERGEN ELIAS
Filed: 1903-08-07
Granted: 1903-10-22
Abstract: 17,201. Lange, J. E., and Moe, A. T. Aug. 7. Calculating-apparatus.-In an adding-machine the number wheels are operated indirectly, and successively, the striking of a key locking it to a bar subsequently moved by the operating-lever. The numbers set are printed on a continuous strip. The nine keys 1, Fig. 1, represent the nine possible figures of one denomination, and there are other rows parallel to them. When a key is struck it descends against the spring 4 until the projection 7 catches underneath the stop 19 on a bar 12 sliding on the bar 11 and held by the spring 17. On opposite sides of each key are studs 5, G, and after striking, the stud 6 is just touching the bar 26, Fig. 4, pivoted at 28. The operating-lever 23 is now moved anti-clockwise, and turns the cam surfaces 25, of which there is one for each row, from under the studs 20. Disengagement of the bars takes place in succession owing to the increasing lengths of the cam arcs, and when it occurs the spring 24 depresses the bar 11 about its pivot 10, carrying down the bar 26 until the second stud 5, Fig. 5, begins to move the lever 27, the lower ends 9 of the key rods being necessarily curved. The rack 29, loose segmental wheel 30, and pawl 36 have now moved on the corresponding number wheel by a number of pins 34 proportionate to the distance between the stops 5, 6 of the key struck, and the motion is stopped by the bar 27, which throws a pawl 37 into the pins of the number wheel. As the number wheel moves, teeth 43, of which there is one for every nine pins, force up the block 48 on the piece 44 pivoted at 45, until the pawl 51 is free of the pins of the next higher wheel, and is pressed against the stop 54. As the block drops, this pawl effects the carry-on, which thus takes place on each number wheel immediately before the wheel is free to be set by its own pawl. The pawl 52 prevents clockwise motion. The stroke of the bar 26 sets, by means of a sector and pinion 39, 40, the proper type on the sector 41 opposite the printing-hammer 42, and also forces up the end 84 of the lever pivoted at 86, so that the tappet 82 on the hammer lever 59 is no longer held, an overlapping stud 88 simultaneously effecting liberation of the next hammer in the unit direction, and so on, in order that ciphers following significant figures may be printed. As the operating-lever 23 revolves, the crank 56 and slotted lever 57 pull the lever 77 to the left, whereby the spring 80 causes the hammer to strike, and the lever is moved so as to feed the paper from the roll 90 between india-rubber feedwheels 63, 64. Simultaneously the tappet 74 on the lever shaft strikes and passes underneath the arm of a spring-held lever, and as the tappet returns clockwise it turns the levers shown together about their centre, so that the plate presses on the projection of the bar 12, and slides it to the left until the depressed keys are freed. An external arm is also provided for doing this. On the return stroke the bars 11 are lifted into position by the cams.

Abstract: 27,624. Klaber, A. D. Dec. 16. Copying documents.-The base-board d, Fig. 1, of a stencil duplicating-apparatus is made of glass supported on a frame c, or has a glass window so that a guide-sheet placed beneath the glass may be seen. The frame is supported, preferably by pins e, so that the sheet may be placed in position and held by elastic or other bands. The stencil frame a is hinged to the lower frame c, at b, and supported normally in its upward position by a spring j. It carries a porous sheet on to which the stencil sheet is held by the ink. The stencil sheet is supported between a graduated backing-sheet, and a front protecting-sheet, all three being fixed together at the top. Just below the point where the sheets are fixed together the backing-sheet is perforated, and may be torn away before applying the sheets to the frame. The remaining stiff top part of the sheet is perforated to pass over pins k on a clamping-bar g, pivoted preferably in line with the pivots b, and having an upturned end h which engages frictionally with the frame a, and clamps the side of the stencil sheet in place. In some cases a spring clip, attached to the frame a, is used instead of the bar, and the guide-pins k are then mounted on the frame c. The short stiff part of the backing-sheet which remains attached to the stencil, if sufficiently wide, forms a strengthening-strip to take the blow of the inking-roller.
