Patent GB-190902378-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Adjustable Tracker Boards for Automatic Musical Instruments.
Inventor: DICKINSON JOSEPH HUNTER
Filed: 1909-02-01
Granted: 1910-02-01
Abstract: 2378. Dickinson, J. H. Feb. 1. Tracker-bars.-In an automatic musical instrument, the tracker-bar is provided with two series of ducts for tune-sheets of different compasses, and sets of pipes, such as 11, 12, connect these ducts to two series of chambers 13, one series of which may be put into communication with ducts 16 leading to the action. If the valve 32 is in the position shown, the chamber 17 is open to the atmosphere so that the diaphragm 14 is pressed against its seating. The chamber 17, on the other hand, is connected to exhaust through the pipe 30<1> owing to the position of the valve 32<1>, so that if air is admitted through one of the pipes 12, it passes behind the diaphragm 14<1> and through the pipes 15, 16 to operate the primary pneumatic. If the positions of the valves 32, 32<1> are reversed, the other set of pipes is connected to the action. The apertures in the tracker connected to the pipes 11 are larger than the apertures connected to pipes 12, and the bleed-holes 18 are made correspondingly larger than the bleed-holes 19.

Abstract: 5016. National Cash Register Co., and Phillips, F. March 1. Feeding and winding webs.-A portable autographic register for cash or credit transactions, invoicing, &c., has a record strip and a check strip adapted to move at right angles to one another, the the latter being fed out for tearing off through an opening in the case by means of a roller and a slotted plate engaging the roller. An electrotype roller and an ink roller, mounted in a sliding frame, are provided to print the headings and rulings on the check strip. The record strip 6, fed from a supply spool to a receiving-spool, is held on the latter by a key 33 and is advanced by the rotation of the handle which at the same time through bevel-wheels 10, 13, rotates the roller 14 to advance the check strip 15, on which the headings and rulings are printed by the electrotype roller 12 rotated by bevel-wheels 9, 11. The record strip 6 is fed forward by a cam 43 on the spindle of the roller 14 which rocks a pivoted pawl 36 actuating the ratchet-wheel 45 of the receiving-spool, through the levers 39, 40, 41. The check strip 15 is held in contact with the roller 14 by means of a slotted plate 17 fastened to the side frames and provided on the outside edge with serrations for tearing off the checks.

Abstract: 27,766. Wilson, E. Dec. 11. Rotating-tool machines.-The hide is drawn between a tool cylinder and a segmental bed which is yieldingly pressed against the tool, and means are provided for automatically opening the work-gripping jaws and for stopping the machine at the end of the stroke. The bed 1 and jaws 25, 25<a> are shown respectively in Figs. 1 and 4 in the working and inoperative positions with regard to the tool 2. The bed comprises movable segments 9, which are forced outwards by a pneumatic or hydraulic bolster 3 on to a pressure-distributing apron 29, the whole bed being carried on pivoted links actuated by a toggle 22, 23 weighted at 70 so as normally to press the bed on to the work, as in Fig. 1. The apron is mounted in a frame 30 which is pivoted to the lower work-jaw 25<a>, this being carried by arms 27 which slide freely in extensions 14<a> of the arms 14. These arms are raised and lowered by quadrant-racks 16 and gearing 18, and they carry additional arms 26, pivoted at 34 and supporting the upper work-jaw 25. When the arms 14 pass from the working position, Fig. 1, downwards, rollers 32, 33 engage tracks 23<a>, 23<b> on the toggle member 23 and respectively open the toggle and raise the jaw 25, as shown in Fig. 4, thereby withdrawing the bed from the tool and freeing the work from the jaws. The downward motion of the lower jaw 25<a> is stopped by its abutment on the casing of the bed, as shown. A roller 19 on the quadrant 16 operates a belt-shifting lever 20 to stop the machine at the end of the stroke. A fresh skin having been placed upon the apron, the upward travel of the arms 14 is started by a hand-operated belt-shifting lever 21. During the first part of the up-stroke, the jaw-arms 26 descend and grip the work and the bed moves forward. At the end of the stroke, a roller 19<a> on the quadrant stops the machine. The friction between the segments of the bed may be reduced by means of intervening metal plates between them, and the segments 9, Fig. 10, have stops 11 which limit their forward movement in the holder 1. The pressure in the bolster 3 may be regulated by supplying it with liquid from a tank which is suspended by a counterweighted cord passing over a pulley in order to allow the head to be varied.

Collecting-boxes &c.-Relates to receptacles for tickets &c., for use in railway stations &c. and comprising a fixed plate with an insertion slot and a removable bag &c., the mechanism for connecting these portions being such that the opening into the bag is automatically uncovered as the bag is slid into place and automatically closed when the bag is removed. The invention consists in making the case C, Figs. 4 and 6, containing the mechanism completely detachable from the mouth frame of the bag &c. The mouth frame E of the bag slides in guides on the underside of the case, and is secured by means of an ordinary lock and key. The mouth frame has downward extensions e<7>, e<8> pivoted at e<9>, so that the mouth can be widely opened. The mechanism for closing and opening the slot is of the type in which a fixed stud D moves a pivoted lever C<2>, which, through a gating and a stump c and springs c<2>, c<3>, causes a sliding plate C<1>to be removed from the insertion slot. The receptacle is removed from the fixed plate by pushing-in the bolt C<3>.
