Patent GB-190903567-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Safe Locking Power Driven Railway Signals, Points and the like.
IPC: B61L7/06
Filed: 1909-02-13
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 3567. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Feb. 13. Electric operation and control. - The working leads of power operated points and signals are disconnected from the source of energy, or are connected to earth by the operation of the route or signal lever so as to prevent movement of the points after the signal has been set, even if the points-operating lever is able to be moved should the mechanical interlocking have failed. Fig. 1 shows the route lever 5 in normal position and the points lever 11 in one endposition. The signal is set by moving the lever 5 to one end-position. The apparatus for operating the signal is not shown in Fig. 1. If, after setting the signal, the points lever 11 is reversed, the switch 8 at the same time being moved by proper connexion to the lever 11, the motor circuit is earthed as follows: earth, motor 16, switch 15, which is moved by the points blades, lead 13, switch 10, lead 9, switches 8, 4, and lead 3 to earth, so that the points cannot be operated either by current from the proper source of energy 1 or from leakage currents. To move the points, the switch 4 must be in the position shown; the lever 11 is operated and closes the circuit from the battery 1, switches 4, 8, switch 10, lead 13, motor 16, and earth; the points are then driven to the reverse position, and the indicator magnet 18 is energized through the switch 15 and lead 17. The switch arm 8 is released by the magnet 18 and returns to its normal position. Modifications are described in which the control magnet 18 is earthed on both sides when the lever 11 is moved to the wrong position, and further the contacts are arranged so as to keep the motor circuit closed even if the route lever is moved during the movement of the points.

Patent GB-190908963-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Loose-leaf Ledgers or Temporary Binders.
Inventor: BLAIKLEY ARTHUR
IPC: B42F13/04
Filed: 1909-04-15
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 8963. Blaikley, A., Rhind, W. A., Waterston, G., Waterston, J. W., Waterston, J. S., Waterston, C. B., and Waterston, R., [trading as Waterston & Sons, G.]. April 15. [Addition to 21,449/08.] Flexible-band files; locks.-Relates to looseleaf binders of the kind described in the parent Specification, wherein clamps are drawn together by tapes wound on a roller d, which is held against backward rotation by a ratchetwheel g and pawl f, and consists in the means for manipulating the ratchet - wheel. The ratchet-wheel g is loose on the roller d, but is normally clutched thereto by the engagement of a pin m on the roller with a recess k in the hub of the wheel. A catch-plate, pivoted on a rod 6<a> and tensioned by a spring 6, is formed with fingers v, q, the latter of which rests in a groove x between the hub j and a screw-cap 2 thereon. The finger q is formed with a hook adapted to engage a projection. 4 on the cap 2. The device is manipulated by means of a key t having a lug u on the outside and a projection 15 on the rim. To slacken the tapes, the key t is passed on to the roller d, the lug u being passed through a notch w in a plate 11, the key is given a partial turn, and the lug u then passed through a notch 13 in a plate 8. The key, in passing on to the roller, lifts the catchplate by the engagement of the lug u with the finger v, the finger q being thereby lifted out of the groove x. The ratchet-wheel may then be pushed back by means of the key, thereby freeing the pin m from the recess k and releasing the roller d from the ratchet-wheel and pawl, so that the clamps may be pulled apart to unwind the tapes. The finger v falls behind the lug u, which is pressed bv a spring i into a recess 9 on the finger so that the hands may be removed. By rotation of the key clockwise until the spring i moves the recess k into engagement with the pin m, the roller d may be rotated to wind up the tapes by the engagement of a projection 15 with a projection 5 on the cap 2, the pawl f holding the roller against backward rotation. The lug u, in rotating, lifts the finger v and rocks the catch-plate, thereby lifting the finger q out of the path of the projection 4, and permitting the rotation of the ratchet-wheel and the roller. The arrangement prevents the device from being manipulated except by the special key, as the finger q engaging the groove x and the provision of the notches w, 13 prevents the ratchet-wheel from being pushed back by a wire; also the circumferential distance between the projections u, 15 on the key must have a fixed relation to the distance between the projections 4, 5 on the ratchet-wheel. The roller d is mounted so as to be able to move axially, to permit operation when the projection 5 is opposite the projection 15 when the key is inserted.

Title: An Improved Advertising Apparatus.
Inventor: WEISMANN ANTON
IPC: G09F11/29
Filed: 1909-04-28
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 10,080. Weismann, A. April 28. Reel and web apparatus. -An advertising band is wound between two rollers 3, 4, Fig. 2, having springs attaching them to their shafts, and over a pair of guide-rollers, by a mechanism capable of reversing the band automatically. The guide-roller 12, connected to a chain-wheel 17, Figs 4 and 5, the only wheel rigidly connected to a shaft 20, is driven by a motoroperated pulley 19, having worm gearing 21, 23 directly driving a wheel 22, which continuously gears with a wheel 29 on an axle 30. The wheel 29 gears over part of its circumference with a wheel 28, which is rigidly connected with a partly concave disk 40, and drives the shaft 20 through a clutch 35, Fig. 5, and feather -linkage, and operates the chainwheel 17 until the plain part of the wheel 29 fronts the wheel 28, and a disk 38 thereon locks the wheel 28 and causes the advertisements to halt. Then an insulated contact 44 completes a lamp circuit on a wooden disk 41; or it may traverse a number of junctions and operate a series of coloured lights. A stud 46 on a disk 34, fixed upon the axle 30, moves a star-wheel 31 forward one tooth, together with a disk 32, at each revolution. The number of advertisements corresponds to the number of slots in the star-wheel, and at the end of the series, a stud 37, Figs. 4 and 8, on the disk 32 strikes a triangular piece 36, pivoted at 36<b> upon a plate which pivots upon a pin 35<a> and operates the clutch 35; the projection 36<a> on the triangle leaves the surface of the disk 32 and enters the slot 32<a>, and further rotation of the triangle 36 being prevented by a slot and stud 36<c>, the pivot 36, Fig. 4, is pushed over and passes the clutch 35; Fig. 5, from one of the interconnected bevelwheels 24, 25 to the other, so reversing the advertising band. A continuous movement of the band may be obtained by replacing the smooth segment 38 by a toothed segment so that the pinion 28 constantly meshes with the gearwheel 29; or the pinion 28 may be coupled to the pinion 22.
