Filed: 1913-07-10
Granted: 1914-07-02
Abstract: 15,966. Adams, F. C. July 10. Electric pens and pencils. - An artist's stippling-pen comprises an outer casing A, a frame B contacting with the interior of the casing and carrying at o n e end an electromagnet E and at the other end a slotted bush b in which the nib or like holder C oscillates from side to side, a spring arm D formed at one end as an armature d and carrying the nibholder at the other end, and a make-and-break device to cause the armature to be oscillated by the electro-magnet. The make-and-break device consists of a contact f, carried by a bracket f<1> inside the casing A, and a spring contact-strip d<1> mounted on the flexible arm D, which is secured to the frame B by a flexible bracket b<1>. An insulated arm H carrying a contact-screw h<1> and pivoted to the bush b forms a suitable switch by which the contact-screw h<1> may be brought into contact with the casing A to close an electric circuit. The leading wires from a battery are brought to two terminals provided on an insulated disk g at the rear end of the casing. One terminal is connected to the contact-screw h<1> and the other to one end of the winding of the electro-magnet, so that, the other end of the winding being connected to the contact f, the electric circuit, when the switch H is operated, is completed from one terminal through the winding of the electromagnet, the contact f, the strip d<1>, the bracket b<1>, the casing A, and switch H back to the other terminal. When the electro - magnet is energized, this circuit is broken owing to the attraction of the armature d, the arm D then springs back and again restores the circuit, and so on; the armature d and nib-holder C thus receiving the requisite oscillatory motion from side to side. According to the Provisional Specification, a holder for a short length of pencil may be arranged to slip over the nib-holder.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electrolytic Devices suitable for use as or in the Construction of Meters, Switches and other Apparatus.
IPC: G01R22/02
Filed: 1913-08-19
Granted: 1914-11-19
Abstract: 18,869. Thorpe, W. B., and Thorpe Meter Syndicate. Aug. 19. Cells; electrodes; electrolytes, agitating.- A gas cell for bringing into action a time relay, switch, or other device comprises two compartments, one shown as a wide tube a, Fig. 1, containing electrodes, say nickel plates, of opposite polarities, while the other consists of a narrow internal or external tube e containing an electrode j. From the latter electrode, which may be of iron or steel, and be much smaller than the nickel electrodes, gas controlling the operation of the relay or other device is evolved. In the arrangement shown, one nickel plate b, Fig. 2, is connected through a high resistance to the negative main. The iron electrode j and a second nickel plate c are connected respectively to the supply and consumption ends of a platinoid, manganin, or other shunt k. A third nickel plate d is connected through an adjustable resistance n to a variable point along the shunt k. The negative nickel plate is placed between the other two. In consequence of the sizes, materials, and arrangement of the electrodes, the iron electrode j only comes into action when current traverses the shunt k. A separate compensating-cell is not required. For a time switch, the shunt k may be dispensed with and the electrodes connected to the mains through adjustable or invariable resistances. Gas from the iron electrode j collects in a loop in the narrow tube e until, with the liquid column above the loop, it is forced into the main tube a. During this movement, the liquid meets an upper electrode h and closes a circuit for operating the meter or other device. To prevent leakage of current along the wall of the tube between the upper electrode h and the iron electrode j, a nickel strip s may be wound around the support for the upper electrode and connected to the opposite main. The gases evolved at the nickel and iron electrodes are caused to re-combine by spongy platinum on pumice or asbestos, by a tube p coated with platinum or palladium, or by sparking. A rubber safety cap o<1> is fitted on a plug at the upper end of the wide tube a. As electrolyte, a weak solution of alkali may be used.

Abstract: 19,020. Prentice, F. W., and Starie, B. Aug. 21. Wireless systems. - Apparatus on a train is controlled by electro-magnetic radiations from a wire along the track, the generating and receiving apparatus being the same as is described in Specification 19,019/13. The supply of energy to the generating-apparatus is controlled by a switch 6 on an automatic signal or on a manually-operated signal which may be locked by a magnet 17 included in a track circuit. The bridging-contact of the switch 6 is carried on a bell-crank lever 25, 26 which is weighted to stand either open or closed. The end 25 of the bell-crank is acted on by tappets on the signal-rod 30. The wave wire is divided at a signal E and a switch operated in conjunction with this signal connects the two parts of the wave wire or isolates the portion between the signal E and the end A of the section and earths the remainder through a spark-gap. Figs. 5 and 6 show the switch at the ends of the wave wire at the signal E. These wires are stretched by springs 49 surrounding the rods 45 which are provided with hooks, over which are passed loops 43 carrying insulators 42 to which the wave wires are fixed. The ends of the wave wires 60, 63 are attached to springs 53 carrying metal studs which project through holes in insulating blocks. A metal plate 59 carried by a hard-wood rod connected to the signal E connects the wire 60 to the wire 63 or to the wire 65, and so to the spark-gap 67 and earth, according to the position of the signal. The Provisional Specification describes a switch comprising a rocking shaft carrying a metallic contact piece coacting with fixed contacts ; the rocking shaft is operated by a cam moved positively by a flexible connexion when the signal moves to ' clear ' but capable of independently returning to the ' danger ' position.

Title: Improved Grab.
Inventor: BULL GEORGE
IPC: B66C3/06
Filed: 1913-11-19
Granted: 1914-11-19
Abstract: 26,574. Bull, G. Nov. 19. Grab-buckets.-Grabs of the kind described in Specification 11,973/11 are arranged for singlechain working. The halves of the grab are connected to a spindle 7, which slides in slots 6 in the head 1. The hoisting-rope, which is connected at opposite ends to the jib of the operating-crane and to a fixed point, passes round a movable pulley-block on a spindle 3 also guided in the slots 6. When the grab rests on the material and the hoisting - rope is slackened to lower the spindle 3, the end 12 of a pair of members 10, pivoted on the spindle 3, passes under the spindle 7. At the same time the hooked end 15 of a pair of linked members 14, pivoted at 13 between the members 10 and also connected thereto by a pin-and-slot mechanism in proximity to the hook 20, engages the spindle 7 and retains it on the member 12. When the hoisting-chain is raised the spindle 7 is first raised to close the grab and the load is then hoisted until the head 1 and projecting hook 20 pass through a suspended and divided circular plate 16 supported on its pivots 19 by chains 16<c>. The plate rotates about the pivots to allow the head and hook to pass, and then falls again into an horizontal position. On paying-out the chain, the hook 20 is engaged by the plate, and first withdraws the hook 15 by means of the pin-and-slot mechanism into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4, and afterwards rotates the plates 10 about the pivot 3 to release the spindle 7. This allows the spindle 7 to fall and open the grab. A dashpot 21 cushions the opening movement. The open grab is lowered again until it rests on the material, whereupon the operations are repeated.
