Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 18,843. Gudgeon, R. W. Aug. 21. Miniature signals or indicators and the like.-A commutator switch for actuating a galvanometer to indicate when a semaphore signal, on which it is mounted, is in the 'on ' or 'off' position respectively, and allowing a large neutral position, consists of an insulating base carrying a pivoted insulating lever 6, to which the actuating-pendulum 14 is attached. This lever is provided with conducting strips 7, 8, connected to terminals 9, 10 and carrying contacts 11, 12 which engage with contacts 17, 18. Above the lever 6 are weighted levers 23, 24, the free inner ends of which bear on a stud 31, and which carry conducting strips bearing against the strips 7, 8. Binding-screws C, L, E, Z are connected to the various parts, as shown in dotted lines, and to the copper, line, earth return, and zinc, respectively. In the neutral position, the lever 6 is horizontal, as shown, and the circuit is broken at 17, 18. On the semaphore rising to the ' on ' position, the pendulum 14 turns in a clockwise direction, thereby closing the contacts 12, 18 and lifting the bar 23, the weight 25 of which is adjusted so that the contact will not close until the semaphore is practically horizontal. On the semaphore falling, the contacts 11, 17 are closed and lever 24 raised, thus sending a current in the reverse direction to the galvanometer. The weight 26 is adjusted so as to allow contacts 11, 17 to close when the semaphore is several degrees from the vertical.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Methods of Forming Blanks for Covering Eyelets or like Articles.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1908-07-17
Granted: 1909-08-17
Abstract: 15,204. Boult, A. J., [Boston Fast Color Eyelet Co.]. July 17. Embossing and stamping.-Blanks for covering eyelets &c. are formed from thin sheets of celluloid or the like by moving material to increase the thickness of a portion of the sheet. The material may be moved from inside the blank outwards and from outside the blank inwards to form a rim of greater thickness than the sheet material, or the material may only be moved from inside the blank outwardly. To carry out the invention a sheet of plastic material A, Fig. 1, is placed on a flat die B and is acted on by a die C having presser-faces E, F and an annular recess c. The face E inclines inwards to the recess c and, on the die descending, moves inwards into the recess c while the face F moves the material beneath it outwards. In a modification, the face E of the die C may be omitted and the blank formed by moving the material outwards. The blank may be applied to an eyelet by means of dies G, H, Fig. 6. The eyelet is placed on the lower die G and rests on supports g. The blank a is placed on the eyelet and fixed by the upper die H to form a covered eyelet, Fig. 7. The upper die has an annular recess h to shape the covering, a cutting-edge i and a depending finger j which penetrates the thin portion d inside the blank.
