Filed: 1906-05-18
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 11,668. take, H. H., [Soc. Anon. Electromotion]. May 18., Switches.-Relates to means for automatically locking the interrupter of an electric vehicle, whenever the driver acts upon the brake pedal, in such a way as to prevent the vehicle from again starting on any speed but the first. When the pedal a is depressed to apply the brake, the movement is transmitted by the slotted link b to the lever k controlling the interrupter cylinder c, thereby interrupting the passage of the current. At the same time, the rod d is pushed forward until a notch on the rod engages a fixed stop e and locks the interrupter, which cannot therefore be withdrawn by the spring i to its normal position until the rod d is released. The release is effected by means of a cam g on the shaft of the controller f, when the controller is brought to the zero or first-speed position.

Abstract: 26,534. Renson, J. M. H. Nov. 22. Switches.-Rotary commutators for use in railway signalling systems are operated by the vebicles, which first compress a spring and subsequently release the same to cause the movement of the switch. The commutators are contained in a box, and are actuated by ratchet mechanism, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The car wheel depresses a treadle 26, which slides vertically in :a recess in a track rail, and rests by means of an inclined surface 28 on a roller 29 carried in a fork 30, which forms part of an horizontallysliding piece 33. Depression of the treadle thus moves the piece 33 to the left hand, compressing a spring 31 and withdrawing a spring-pressed pawl 37 into engagement with the next tooth on an horizontal ratchet-wheel 38, so that when the car: wheel passes off the treadle, the spring 31 causes rotation of the ratchet-wheel 38 in the direction indicated by the arrow. An attached arm 39 then rotates one of the commutators 1, and the number of teeth on the ratchet-wheel is so arranged, with reference to the number of commutators in a box and the number of wheels on one side of a car, that each car actuates a commutator and leaves the arm 39 in position to actuate the next commutator.

Title: An Improved Pneumatic Ticketing Device for use with Machines for Balling Cotton or other Yarn or Thread.
Inventor: BAINES EDMUND NORBURY
Filed: 1907-02-15
Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 3721. Baines, E. N., and Schmidt, J. W, [trading as Ayrton & Co., W.]. Feb. 15. Balling - machines, - A pneumatic device for ticketing balls of cotton &c. during their formation, particularly applicable to the balling- machines described in Specifications No. 9357, A.D. 1902, and No. 9317, A.D. 1904, is constructed with a hollow plunger b, Figs. 1, 2, and 4, arranged to slide telescopically against a spring e within - a sleeve d, communicating with a hollow shaft f serving several hollow balling - spindles a, opposite to which the plungers are arranged. The shaft f is connected by a pipe 17 and through a threeway cock with a suction pump h, and is secured to sliding blocks i mounted in guides j. The ticket magazines. o may be interchangeable for differently-sized tickets, or they may be made in two parts secured to separate bars adju tably connected together. Shafts u, u<1> make one revolution during the formation of a ball, and at the required time, a cam-piece 4 on the shaft u<1> acts through levers and links t, s, r<1>, r to shift the bars carrying the magazines against the action of a spring, so that the magazines are brought opposite to the plungers, the pivoted catch w preventing their return movement. A camgroove on one face of a cam v on the shaft u then acts through levers and links 8, 8<a>, 8<b>, k to advance the plungers against the tickets, whilst another cam p<1> acts through lever 13, rod 14, crank 15, and rod 15<a> to operate the three-way cock 16 so that the pipe 17 communicates with the suction pump. The cam-groove then withdraws the plungers with a ticket held to each, and a projection 18 on the back of the cam acts through a lever y and link x to raise the latch w and allow the spring to return the magazine bars. The further action of the cam-groove advances the plungers against the balls being formed, and the sudden drop in the cam p' allows the coiled spring 15<b> on the rod 15<a> to operate the three-way cock, so that the suction is rapidly transferred from the plungers to the hollow spindles, to hold the tickets to the balls while the balling is continued to secure them. At the same time, the cock opens the plungers to the atmosphere. In a modification, the ticket magazines are mounted on a shaft oscillated from the shaft carrying the cam u, instead of on sliding bars.
