Title: Improvements in the Automatic Control of Railway Signals.
IPC: B61L13/04
Filed: 1911-04-05
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 8511. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Scourfield, W. E. April 5. Electrical systems, automatic; combined electrical and mechanical systems, non-automatic. - To prevent a ' line 'clear' signal from being given for an occupied section, two circuits are provided, each of which renders the movement of the signal possible, and a device at each end of the section so that when a train passes the device a switch belonging thereto is moved from a contact of the first circuit to a contact of the second, and when the next train passes, the switch is moved from a contact of the first to a contact of the second circuit. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the switches S, S' are controlled by fouling bars f, f<1>, the circuit being normally made through battery y, magnet g, a signal replacer h dependent on the bar f, switch S, contact a, lead a<2>, switch S<1>, contact a', switch d, to earth. The armature e is thus held clear of the tappet of the lever l, so that the signal can be put to ' line clear.' When a train enters, the signal is put back by the replacer h and the circuit is broken at contact a to release armature e to prevent further operation of the signal lever to the ' line clear ' position, until the train, having left a station P, passes out of the section. The bar f is then depressed and the switch S' reversed, but the circuit is not completed through the lead b<2> until the last flange passes out, previous to which the flanges depress the switch d. A handoperated switch z may be provided to economize current. With automatic signal working, the armature e', Fig. 4, controls the circuit of the motor m and the ' holding off ' switch n, and when the motor puts the signal to ' line clear,' the switch l<1> automatically opens, and the signal is held off by the magnet n until the armature e<1> drops, after which the signal cannot again be operated until the armature e<1> is again raised. The switch mechanism consists of two opposite ratchet-wheels 2, 3, Fig. 2, on a shaft 1, the wheel 2 being operated by a pawl 5 mounted on one arm of a segmental piece 4 carried by the shaft 1 while the pawl 8 engages with the wheel 3 to limit the movement. Movement of the bar f is transmitted to the pawl 5 through a lever 15 and an arm 11 pivoted at 10 and carrying a roller 13. The wheel 2 is turned through one tooth on depression of the bar f, the switch being independent of the variations in the degree of movement of the bar above the minimum. The stepwise movement of the wheel 2 causes the switch arm S, Fig. 3, to engage contacts a, b alternately, and all the contacts a are connected to the lead a<2>, and all the contacts b to the lead b<2>, while the arm S is connected by a lead t with the battery.

Title: Improvements in Transfer Mechanism for Cash Registers, Adding Machines and the like.
Inventor: GLEDHILL ARTHUR HENRY
Filed: 1911-07-19
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 16,565. Gledhill, A. H. July 19. Transfer mechanism.-Apparatus in which a reciprocating transfer-actuator is set to engagement with the transfer-receiving pinion by the transfer tooth on the lower wheel, and the actuator is subsequently reciprocated by external means, as described in Specification 19,318/09, is provided with means for preventing rebound of the transfer-actuator setting-lever, and also for ensuring that no premature transfer shall be caused by an overthrow of the lower wheel when it should come to rest at " 9." As shown in Fig. 1, the transfer-tooth d cams downwards the extension b of the setting - lever B, whereby guide-pins b<4> thereon are raised so as to bring the transfer-pawl A into engagement with the transfer-receiving pinion E, in readiness for the externally-effected movement of the pawl to the left. When the setting-lever moves rapidly, its lower end abuts against a projection g<3> upon a pivoted abutment-member G, thereby forcing a projection g upon the member into a recess b<2> upon the lever and stopping rebound. The arrangement for preventing overthrow is shown in Fig. 4, wherein a second tooth d<1> is provided upon the lower wheel, and in a parallel plane, for co-operation with a second extension b<5> upon the setting-lever. Overthrow may take place until the tooth d is on the point of clearing the extension b, the other extension then pressing upon the rear of the second tooth, and when the spring alining-pawl F subsequently restores the lower wheel to correct position the second tooth and extension co-operate to re-position the setting-lever. A bracket is described for holding the various parts of the transfermechanism, with their springs, and for maintaining them at the correct distance apart.

Abstract: 18,836. Okrassa, R. Aug. 22. Hulling; polishing.-Relates to the invention described in Specification 9011/00, and comprises means for regulating the air currents that remove the coffee hulls, and means for cooling .the machine. In the suction pipe 18, Fig. I, which removes the lighter waste from the coffee delivered through the outlet 16 and door 17, is arranged a door 25. A similar door 26 is placed in the pipe 23, which receives the material from the outlet 20 of the second cylinder 3. These doors are connected together and to a valve 28, which opens as the doors 25, 26 are closed by excessive draught acting upon them. Air is thus admitted and the complete closing of the doors prevented. The cylinders 2, 3, which are divided horizontally, are fitted with linings also made in halves and leaving a jacketing space through which air is drawn from apertures 38, 38<1> to suction pipes 39, 39<1>. The linings are spirally ribbed and are eccentric at the outlet end. The drums 7, 8 on the shaft are fitted with renewable sleeves formed with ribs partly spiral and partly straight, and made in halves. The adjacent edges have flanges 12, Fig. III, over which fits a clamp 11 secured by screws 13. Ports 33 are formed in the end of the drum 8 to admit air for cooling to the space between the sleeve and the drum. Thence the air passes into the interior of the drum and out by the passage 34 to the pipe 18. A renewable ring 14 to take the wear is attached to the end of the casing. Baffles 35, 36 and a protector 40 prevent the coffee or hulls from entering the air-tubes.

Filed: 1912-03-07
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 5768. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. March 7, 1911, [Convention date]. Driving-arrangements.-Means are provided in apparatus for regulating the speed of electrically-driven ring spinning and doubling machines, such as described in Specification 23,641/10, for ensuring the return of all the parts of the apparatus to their initial positions by the time that the cop is wound. Three modifications are described. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, wherein a lever g connected with the motor regulator is operated by a cam-actuated lever e, the final movements being controlled by a cam-actuated link h, a link s is provided to prevent further movement of the lever that operates the link h when the actuating-cam l has completed one revolution. The lever s is operated for this purpose by means of a lever x, the end of which drops into a slot w in a disk carried by the shaft of the cam l. The cam-shaft is stopped when the lever x contacts with the front face of the slot w, at which time the gear which transmits motion to the cam-shaft from a shaft B is arranged to slip should the cop not be finished. As in the former case, the transmission gear comprises an eccentric m, adjustable eccentric rod m<1> and a free wheel clutch which is now provided with two disks o, u, the friction of which is normally sufficient to transmit the motion but allows slip when the rod x arrests the cam-shaft. The rod x is raised by the descent of the ring rail after the cop is formed, and thus allows the lever i to swing back into contact with its cam. The motion of the lever h is arrested, in one of the other two modifications, by a rod operated from the ring rail and in the other by a lever operated by a disk on the cam-shaft, generally similar to the disk described with reference to Fig. 1 but provided with two notches, of which the first causes the arrest of the lever h, and the second the arrest of the cam l. In both modifications, the transmission gear is operated by the lever corresponding to the lever e, Fig. 1.

Filed: 1912-06-24
Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 14,746. Orman, B. June 24. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breechblock.-Relates to automatic guns in which the barrel and breech-bolt recoil together for a short distance and then become unlocked by the movement of a rotary head, the breech-bolt being made in two parts connected by a quickthreaded stem so that the rotary unlocking and locking movements of the bolt-head are caused by the bolt-body sliding on the stem during the initial opening and the final closing of the breech. The present invention consists mainly in so arranging the bolt that the rearward movement of the bolt-body is accelerated by suitable means during the short recoil of the barrel. In the construction shown in Fig. 4, this acceleration is caused by a lever a<5> pivoted to the barrel extension. The lower end a<7> of this lever bears against a fixed shoulder on the gun frame, and the upper end engages the front of the bolt-body B. The barrel extension is formed with two rearward guide-bars a<3>, Fig. 10, on which the bolt slides, the guiding-surfaces being the top and outer edges of these bars. The inner edges are shaped to control the feeding of the cartridges, as only at the forward part is the opening between them wide enough to allow the cartridges to pass. The ejector a<10> is formed on one of these bars. The extractor b<8>, Fig. 5, is formed integral with a spring collar b<12> which secures it in position on the bolt-head. A safety-lever K, Fig. 4, is adapted to be turned down by an external thumb-lever k to block the movement of the trigger.
