Patent GB-190822377-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrical Driving Gear.
Inventor: POLLET GUSTAVE FERDINAND OSCAR
Filed: 1908-10-21
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 22,377. Pollet, G. F. O. Oct. 21. Motor road vehicles. - Electric driving - gear, particularly suitable for motor road vehicles, but applicable to other purposes, is so arranged that the power and speed of the prime mover is regulated according to the current required by the motor. The prime mover M', Fig. 2, is coupled to the rotor I, Fig. 1, on which is mounted, so as to be capable of rotation, the casing L carrying the field-magnets B. The rotor I and the casing L are connected through the epicyclic gear H, M, K, the casing N of which is provided with a brake X. A brake F is likewise fitted to the generator casing L, and the two brakes are fitted with right and left handed screw operating-devices, shown in Fig. 2, such that when one brake is on the other will be off, and vice versa. These brakes are controlled by the solenoid device A placed in the shunt field of the motor energized by the generator I. A centrifugal governor O mounted on an extension t of the gear casing N controls the prime mover, for instance the internal-combustion motor M', through the lever d and the rod shown in Fig. 1. On starting, the operator regulates the current to the field-magnets B with the resistance H; he then engages the clutch through the pedal Y, which at the same time operates a resistance R for the motor energized by the generator. If a small current is passing, the cores T are withdrawn under the action of the springs which control them, and as a result the gear casing N is fixed and, as long as the governor 0 is not operating, the generator casing L is driven in the opposite direction to that in which the rotor I revolves. If however the current demand increases, the resistances H, R having been reduced, the cores T are drawn inwards, the casing L is held stationary, and the gear casing N is allowed to revolve ; the governor O can then come into action.

Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 941. Burdick, C. L. Jan. 14. Feeding sheets.-A stencilling-apparatus, in which colour is sprayed through the stencil on to the top card or sheet of a pile, is so constructed as to prevent spraying of the edges of the sheets, or smudging of the sheets by the fixed stops on the pile table. The pile table A, Fig. 1, is fitted with two sets of stops arranged in the frames C, C<1>, pivoted at right-angles to each other, and adapted to be depressed below the table as the stencil-frame F carried by a rod B is moved to the top of the pile by a cord or chain H passing over a pulley and actuated by a treadle T. The frames C, C<1> are connected by a link L and are actuated by an arm on the rod B, and the movement of the frames can be adjusted by means of a nut E' in a slot E in the link that transmits motion from the arm N to the frames C, C<1>, the slot E being arranged so that the stencil has a greater motion than the stops. The rising motion of the frames C, C' is steadied by means of a dash-pot device J. The stencil is connected in the frame by means of fly-nuts, and, if desired, by arms F<1>, F<2> removably mounted in sockets.

Abstract: 26,441. Dunne, J. W. Nov. 15. Planes, arrangement and construction of.- Relates to aeroplane machines in which the symmetrically-disposed portions of the main planes are inclined rearwards in plan, and are constructed as conical surfaces traced out preferably by a straight generator line, in such a manner that the angle of incidence of the wings decreases from the centre towards the tips, as described in Specifications 8118/09 and 11,021/09. According to the present invention, the symmetrically-disposed wings are arranged either in line or inclined rearwards in plan to only a comparatively small extent, the loss of stability thus introduced being compensated for by additional supporting-surface, preferably placed in front of the main planes. Figs. 1 and 2 show a monoplane machine provided with a main plane comprising a centre part a, slightly curved longitudinally of the machine, and fixed wings b of the type described above, and, for example, more particularly as described in Specification 8118/09. An additional supporting-surface c is arranged at the front of the main plane, and may be of the dihedral type and be mounted to act as an elevator. A second supplementary surface d may be arranged between the planes a, c at a lower level, as shown; this surface may be fixed, or may act as an elevator. Fig. 4 shows a biplane machine of the type described in Specification 11,021/09, and provided with main planes comprising substantially flat portions e and coned portions f, a supplementary surface h, preferably acting as an elevator, being provided at the front.

Inventor: WEBER CHRISTOPH HEINRICH
IPC: H01K1/56
Filed: 1910-04-16
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 9250. Weber, C. H. Oct. 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Residual gases; filaments.-A carbon-filament lamp contains mercury to which is added a metal to remove oxygen. Up to twenty per cent of sodium, potassium, barium, calcium, strontium, rubidium, or the like may be so added to form amalgams, more than this amount causing harmful formation of carbides; or powdered metals such as reduced iron, tungsten, molybdenum, or zirconium may be added, but preferably zirconium hydride is used, an amount being added containing sufficient hydrogen to establish a pressure without the introduction of inert gas. The carbon filament may be made thicker near the mercury, where breakage usually occurs, by flashing in very dilute carburetted hydrogen at a high temperature.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cash Registers.
Inventor: PALMER CHARLES
IPC: G06C7/10
Filed: 1910-04-26
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 10,212. Palmer, C. April 26. Cash registers; differential mechanism.-Relates to modifications in registers of the kind described in Specification 15,851/03, especially in the indicating-mechanism and to the provision of keyboard mechanism. Key-levers are employed and are arranged in banks, over each of which lies a yoke 5 turning on the same pivot and carrying a double-stepped bar 11 for engagement below with the keys and above with pivoted stops 13, which are thrown forward by cams 14 on the depressed keys. The yoke is thus differentially raised and positions a vertical rack 9, over which is traversed the totalizing-counter 30 as in the previous register referred to. Drum indicators.-Segments 45 gearing with the rack are linked to levers 66 which are formed in two parts sliding on each other, the outer part having a pin to engage a slot 73 in a segment 86 gearing with the indicator. The movement of the racks 9 having set the levers 66, these are locked by pawls engaging notched arcs 47 on the segments 45. A subsequent oscillation of arms 82 by cams 76 on the main shaft drives back the outer sliding portions of levers 66, thus rocking segments 86 so as to set the indicators, which are then locked by pawls 93. Operating-means.-Cams on the main shaft37 operate the indicator detents 93, the detents for segments 45, the yoke 63 for restoring the segments 45 and the racks 9 to initial position, and the link 57 for releasing the key-latches 22. These are pivoted on a shaft 18 and controlled by springs so as to engage and hold projections 16 on the key-levers. The link 57 is pivoted to a yoke 59 extending over the latches so as to depress them near the end of the operation of the machine. The printing - arrangements are the same as those described in the above. mentioned Specification.
