Title: Improvements in Controlling Devices for Power Driven Machines applicable for instance to Adding Machines.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1906-02-26
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 4669. Justice, P. M., [Pike Adding Machine Co.]. Feb. 26. Calculating-apparatus. - Controlling-mechanism, for a power-driven adding - machine or other machine, having a rocking shaft connected to a dash-pot and a device for unclutching the rocking and power-driven shafts after each operation until the rocking shaft has completed its return movement, is; shown in connexion with a key-operated adding-machine, the rocking shaft 800 of which is controlled by a dash-pot D. The shaft 800 is rocked through a yielding spring connexion 880 and the link-work shown from a shaft A, which carries a disk f, adapted to be clutched to a ratchetwheel m on a motor-driven shaft B ; the yielding connexion enables the motor-shaft B to be driven at a higher speed than the rocking-shaft 800- The clutch disk f supports a pin carrying at one end a pawl j to be driven by the ratchet-wheel m, and at the other a lug e pulled by a spring to make the pawl engage. In the stop position, the lug e is kept back by a stop k, and it is released on depression of a key p by a blade r which rocks the stop-spindle 7. The disk-shaft A ends in an arm a engaging a slotted link c which rocks the shaft 800 through linked countershafts 300, 110, as shown. The device for unclutching the disk f after one revolution of the motor shaft B, if the shaft 800 has not finished its movement, consists, in the form shown, of a hook x adapted to engage the lug e on the pawl spindle. This hook x is fixed to a rock-shaft u, on which is an arm v pulled by a spring against a stop on the slotted link c. The hook x is depressed at the beginning of the rotation of the disk shaft A and its arm a, and, if the slotted link c does not rise with the arm a and lift the hook x, the hook arrests the lug e and disengages the pawl j. The pawl is released when the link c rises, and the disk is then clutched unless the key p and stop k have been released; In a modification, the hook x is omitted and the key-actuated stop k is arranged to be brought back to disengage the pawl even if the key p is held down; the rock-shaft u is linked to the keyoperated blade r, which it disengages from the stop-spindle 7 when rocked by the disk shaft A. The blade r is then formed in two pieces, kept straight by a spring, to prevent it from binding with the stop-shaft. A fresh actuation cannot take place until the key p has been released and depressed again.

Title: Improved Registering Apparatus for Verifying the Return of Pigeons in Pigeon-flying Competitions.
Inventor: DEFAUW THEOPHILE
Filed: 1906-05-10
Granted: 1907-01-17
Abstract: 10,988. Defauw, T. May 10. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid.) Timing pigeons.-A race-timing apparatus, which may also be used as a tell-tale for watchmen &c., is constructed so that the sheets on which the time is recorded can be seen without opening the apparatus, and the apparatus records the day, hour, minute, and second of the time of return of the pigeons &c. In the use of the apparatus for recording the return of a pigeon, the pigeon ring is placed in a cell 53, Fig. 4, a number of which are formed in a disk to which a chemically prepared sheet, or a sheet provided with an inking-ribbon &c., is attached, the disk being intermittently rotated, so that various parts of it come into contact with type-wheels 10, 7, 8, 17, Fig. 1, upon which the sheets are pressed by means of a rubberfaced hammer or hammers 28, Fig. 2. The hammer is operated by means of a crank 41 on a shaft, which is provided with an arm 39, normally acting on a bar 34, connected to an arm 33 on a shaft. On rotation of the shaft 40, the arm 39 moves the arm 33 against the action of a spring barrel 36 connected with the bar 34 by a chain 35 ; at the end of a semi-revolution, the arm 39 snaps past, .the bar 34, the arm 33 returns quickly, and a pin 38 connected to a disk 37 on its shaft acts on an angle-lever 43, which depresses the hammer on to the type-wheets, and on to a bar 11 arranged at the same level as the tops of the peripheries of the type-wheels. This bar 11 makes marks between the hour and minute indications. The hour-wheel 8 is marked with four distinctive sets of numerals from 1 to 12, so as to indicate the a.m. and p.m. ,hours on two consecutive days, and the wheel 8 is provided with two pins which move the day-wheel 7 one division per day. The wheels are driven by ordinary clock-work, which also drives hands 13 which move over an enclosed dial to indicate the time. The clock may be stopped by a spring-controlled lever 20, which can be made to engage a pin 19 on the seconds' wheels, and stop it in such a position that the wheel 10 indicates sixty ,seconds. The lever 20 is normally held out of the path of the pin 19 by means of a lever 23 fixed to the same spindle as the lever 20, the lever 23 being' held by a notch in a lever '25. The clock is set going at a standard time, and then the cover is closed by a seal to prevent access to the stop mechanism. The spindle 40 is formed with a ratchet-wheel, to prevent its being moved backwards, and also with a snug 46 which, at each revolution, moves a wheel 47, geared to the disk upon which the sheet is mounted, so that the disk advances a distance equal to that between two cells 53 at each actuation of the shaft 40. The disk is covered by a mica cover 55, Fig. 4, provided with a trapezoidal aperture, and the outer cover in which this disk moves is also of mica or glass, and ia provided with a similar aperture which permits writing to be inscribed on the portion of the sheet that is stamped with the time.

Title: Improvements in Induction Motors.
Inventor: RAWORTH JOHN ERNEST
Filed: 1906-05-14
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 11,238. Raworth, J. E., [Clayton, A. V.]. May 14. Collecting rings; motors, controlling.-Relates to arrangements for short-circuiting the slip-rings connected to the rotor windings and starting- resistances of an induction motor, and for subsequently moving the brushes out of contact with the slip-rings. A carrier A, Figs. 1 and 7, having eyes 4, is mounted on the rotor shaft, and revolves with it. Upon the part 1 are mounted slip-rings B, C, D., each of which has eyes 6, 7, Fig. 4, the latter eye being smaller than the other equal-sized ones 4, 6. A hollow metal bolt 9 fits tightly in the eye 7 of the ring B, and passes loosely through an eye 4 and the eye 6 of the ring D, these parts being clamped together with intervening insulation 11, 12 and distance-pieces 13. Similarly, the rings C, D are each connected with a hollow bolt, and are insulated from each other and from the carrier A. A short-circuiting ring E upon the part 2 carries split pins 8, which normally engage the insulated portions 15 of the borings in the bolts 9. When a lever 20, Figs. 11 and 12, is moved along a slot 17, Fig. 13, and gate 16, a projection 22, engaging the ring E, causes the pins 8 to be pushed home into the bolts 9, thus short-circuiting all the slip-rings B, C, D. The lever 20 is now lifted up a vertical slot 19, causing the brush-shaft 21 to rotate and lift the brushes 27 from the slip-rings. The lever 20 is then pushed into the locking-slot 18, the parts 22, 23 having become disengaged during the vertical motion. The ring E may be slidingly keyed to the part 2, and the pegs 8 normally outside the boring, thus enabling the insulation 15 to be dispensed with and a uniform boring to be employed. In a modification, a solid bolt 9 carries spring contacts, into which projections on the ring E are forced.
