Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 9479. Goebel, J. March 3, [Convention date]. Dating railway. tickets and the like; stopping, tripping, and like arrangements.-A dating or like press is fitted with a removable control type, in the absence of which either the insertion of the matter to be printed is prevented, or the operation of the stamp is prevented, or an electric circuit is closed to sound an alarm on operation of the stamp, or opened to prevent the operation of an electrically-operated machine. In one form, Fig. 2, the control type m, bearing any desired printing-device, is inserted with other type into a slot formed between the body of the die, and a plate i. Projections on the type engage the upper edge of the plate i and prevent the type from falling through, and a sliding plate l bears on the back. A step m<1> on the control type engages a pin n on a spring-controlled lever n', and holds its opposite end out of the path of the ticket &c. x, which can then be printed. In another form, Fig. 7, the control type m fits between the datewheel shaft and the pins k<1>, and, by engaging with a pin m<1> on a spring-pressed plunger n<2>, prevents the latter from dropping into the path of the matter x to be dated or marked. In the modification shown in Fig. 11, the control type m, when in position, engages two plungers n, which press back two plungers n<2> until their faces are level with the sliding face of the moving portion q of the press, which then can be actuated. If used for controlling an electric circuit, as shown in Fig. 14, the type m, when in position, may separate two contacts u, u<1>, and thus prevent the actuation of an alarm when the press is used, or, in cases where the press is operated electrically, the control type when inserted may complete the circuit, and allow the machine to be operated. The absence of the control type may be used in any suitable way, electrically or otherwise, to prevent actuation of the stamp. If desired, more than one control type may be used.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Telephone Exchange System.
Inventor: CLEMENT EDWARD EDMUND
Filed: 1909-08-17
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 18,950. Clement, E. E. Aug. 17. Semi-automatic exchange systems.-Relates to semi-automatic systems of the type described in Specification 27,139/08, in which a calling subscriber is automatically connected with an idle operator, who enquires the connexion required and then calls the subscriber wanted by depressing a series of keys corresponding to the digits in his number, hereby setting in action a train of selectors of the Strowger type which make the required connexion. According to the present invention, the subscribers are divided into groups associated with automatic branch exchanges, the branch exchanges being interconnected by conversation trunks and also connected to a common central operating-station, where the calls are received by operators who obtain the desired connexion by sending the necessary impulses to operate the Strowger switches at the branch exchange of the originating subscriber. Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of one branch exchange. The subscribers' lines 1, 2, 3, 4 are multipled to the contact-banks of the primary selectors P and final connectors S'. When a subscriber calls, a primary selector P automatically connects him to an idle link-circuit L and first selector S, and thereafter a secondary selector P' automatically connects the selected link-circuit with an idle operator's trunk-wire W" leading to the central operating-station at which the impulsetransmitters O<1> are located. After learning the connexion required, the operator transmits the necessary impulses to operate the first and second selectors S, S' and the connector S<2>, whereupon the operator's lead W<a> is disconnected from the linkcircuit L. Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of three branch exchanges A, B, C connected to each other by sets of conversation trunks T, T', T' and to the central station O by sets of operators' trunks W<a>, W<b>, W<c>. The subscribers' lines 1, 2, 3 are shown multipled to the banks of the primary selectors P and the connectors S, which for convenience are shown as including the first and second selectors. The circles P<1> denote the secondary selectors, as in Fig. 1. The operator's trunks may be connected directly to a particular key-set O<1>, O<2>, &c., as shown in Fig. 1, or all these trunks may be multipled on to the contact-banks of tertiary selectors, each of which is associated with a particular key-set, or the trunks may end in multipled jacks, into which the operators may plug to connect up one of their key-sets The primary and secondary selectors may consist of sets of relays as described in the above-mentioned Specification. If the subscriber's lines are connected directly to first selectors, the lines may then be multipled directly in the contacts of the secondary selectors.

Patent GB-190923302-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Fuses for Blasting.
Inventor: GILLIES JOHN
IPC: F42B3/103
Filed: 1909-10-12
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 23,302. Gillies, J., and McPhee, C. D. Oct. 12. Blasting.-Relates to electric igniters for blasting-fuses and detonators. of the kind in which igniting-wires extend into a fusible plug in a casing, which fits over and encloses the end of the fuse or detonator. The invention consists in the method of extending such igniting-wires through the plug, and fitting their inner ends with a cross-wire resistance, which is surrounded with ignitable material within a chamber or space adapted to provide for the immediate escape of the gases produced during the ignition stage. The invention further consists in a simple contact-making device for fixing the fuse. As shown in Fig. 4, a casing A fits over the end of a fuse B, and is closed by a plug C of inflammable composition, such as wax mixed with chlorate of potash. Wires 13, 14 pass through the plug, and have a cross-wire 20 in contact with dry cotton 19. A slot 10 allows the escape of gases at the moment of ignition; when the plug C has burnt out, a further outlet is provided. In a modification, the dry cotton 19 is replaced by a small pellet of match composition embedding the cross-wire 20. The length of the fuse B determines the time that elapses between ignition and explosion. Several " shots " may be fired by the same electric circuit, and the time of explosion varied by making the lengths of the several fuses different. The casing A may also be fitted direct over the end of a detonator. The outer ends of the wires 13, 14 are coiled as shown. A convenient circuit-closer, Fig. 7, comprises a handle D and two contacts 15, 16 connected by wires 18, 17 to a source of electric current. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 18,999/94, 15,647/98, 8274/00, 1544/02, and 9966/05, [Class 9, Ammunition &c.].

Abstract: 23,836. Tattersall, A.R. Oct. 18. [Addition to 12,492/04, [Class 59, Grinding, Crushing, &c.] Processes for reduction of grain.-In a modification of the apparatus described in the parent Specification, the material falls from the first break-rolls on to a scalper, the throughs from which are conveyed to a centrifugal 9 and the tailings fall to the feed-board of the second break-rolls. The throughs from the centrifugal, consisting of break flour, fall to a vibrating board 29 and thence to a conveyer 30 at the base of the machine. The tailings fall into a conveyer, and are carried to the first reduction rolls. The material from the second break rolls. is conveyed to a second centrifugal 25, through which the flour passes and falls to the base of the machine, and which is clothed with coarser silk or wire mesh at the tail end, to separate valuable material for the first reduction rolls, the ultimate tailings being sacked as bran. The coarser section of the centrifugal is surrounded by a stationary casing 69 to collect the throughs, which are swept towards a conveyer by a brush 51 attached to the centrifugal. The reduction rolls are fed between two plates, one of which is fixed and the other pressed against it by springs, which yield when sufficient material has accumulated. From the first reduction rolls, the chop is conveyed to a centrifugal 45 similar to the second centrifugal, the flour falling to the base of the machine, the throughs from the coarse section being carried by an elevator to the second reduction rolls, and the tailings being rejected. The second reduction rolls are followed by a final centrifugal 54. One roll of each pair is adjustable, the fixed roll of the reduction sets being provided with a scraper. The adjustment of the rolls is performed by the device shown in Fig. 4. Each bearing of the movable roll is mounted on a lever secured to the rod N, which is supported by a sleeve D surrounding the boss C', which is drilled eccentrically and mounted on the end B of a rod A. By turning the hand-wheel C, one bearing of the roll is adjusted, and the wheel may be clamped by a nut E. The rod A is parallel to the roll, and the part B at each end is eccentric, so that, by turning the rod by means of the handle I, both bearings are adjusted simultaneously. The handle is fixed by means of a clamp K and quadrant J.

Title: Improvements in Internal-combustion Engines.
Inventor: LELIEVRE GASTON LOUIS JULES
Filed: 1909-10-27
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 24,730. LeliÞvre, G. L. J. Oct. 31, 1908, [Convention date]. Motor power plant. -Relates to arrangements in which an internal-combustion engine is combined with a compressed-air engine which may serve (1) for starting, (2) for overcoming an overload, or (3) as a compressor for charging a reservoir. The invention consists in providing the admission and exhaust pipes between the reservoir and the compressed-air engine with suitable cocks so that one or other of the pipes may be opened to the atmosphere while the other is connected to the reservoir. The pipes 22, 25 are controlled by three-way cocks 23, 26 so that when the engine works as a compressedair engine the pipe 25 is opened to the reservoir and the pipe 22 to the atmosphere. A valve 27<a> carried by a piston 27<b> under the influence of an adjustable spring 27<c> determines the pressure at which the air is supplied to the engine. When the engine works as an air-compressor, the pipe 25 is open to the atmosphere and air is compressed through the pipe 22 to the chamber 24, whence it passes by the pipe 31 to a chamber 32 and so enters the reservoir. When the pressure on the piston 24<a> exceeds a certain amount, the valve 24<c> is closed and the valve 24<b> is opened, so that the air is delivered into the atmosphere. By pressing the lever 29, the full pressure of the reservoir is admitted to the cylinder, which thus acts as a brake. The adjustment of the three-way cocks 23, 26, together with that of the valves 27<a>, 32<a>, is controlled by the lever 44, which also controls the three-way valve 47 admitting air or explosive mixture to the internal-combustion cylinder. The valve 47 may be controlled separately by means of the lever 49. The exhaust pipe 10 of the internal-combustion engine passes through the reservoir 28. A portion of the contents of the reservoir is trapped in a smaller reservoir 37, where it is retained at a higher pressure than the air in the reservoir 28, and may be used for inflating tyres or for other purposes.
