Granted: 1909-07-05
Abstract: 14,245. Gee, C. A., and Gee, F. S. July 4. Pictorial toys.-A series of picture plates are mounted in intermittently-rotating plate-carriers and arranged so as to present the two faces of each plate in two positions in alinement, the reversal of the plates being effected by pairs of continuous cam-grooves, which in addition move the axes of the plates along radial slots in the plate-carriers. This movement prevents the plates of one unit contacting with those of the next unit, or with the casing. The plate-carriers g are fixedly mounted on the plate-carrier axis x, and the pairs of camgrooves z<1>, z' are fixed to the. casing and engage levers t fixed on the axes u of the plates. The cam-arms t are each provided with a roller or block t<1> working in the cam-groove, and the spindles of the plates may be mounted in a similar manner in sliding blocks v. For units having a large number of plates, the form illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 is used. In this construction, the carrier-plates are substituted by a chain composed of slotted links w<1>, in which the plate spindles move under the action of the pairs of cam-grooves as described above. The slotted links are secured together by pins 4 passing through lugs y, and these pins also connect the links 9 of strengthening-chains. The chain passes round a sprocket-wheel 7 and is further supported by rollers 6 mounted on the pins 4, the rollers working in continuous grooves formed in plates 10 secured to the framing. A number of units may be arranged so as to present a continuous surface, and synchronic movement is effected by gearing them together, for example, by bevel-gearing. Intermittent movement is effected by a coupling, which may be of the kind described in Specification No. 708, A.D. 1909, in which three slotted or grooved plates mounted upon the same axis are connected by coupling-means engaging the slots, the first plate being driven continuously, the second intermittently, and the third being stationary.

Title: Improved Method of and Means for Determining the Process of Development of Sensitised Plates.
Inventor: BROOKS ARTHUR AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1908-11-25
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 25,370. Brooks, A. A. Nov. 25. Drawings to Specification. Developing.-A method for determining when development is completed is based upon the principle that a fogged plate immersed in a developer will, in any condition of light, turn to a certain depth or shade of colour in a certain period of time, which is chiefly dependent upon the developer used. A small sensitized surface is fogged and developed at the same time as the plate, and when darkened to a standard depth the development is complete. A plate may be used partly fogged and partly coloured or shaded on the rest of the surface for comparison. The standaraized part may further be obtained by developing and fixing a fogged part. The standard shade may be somewhat lighter than that required for correct development to allow for judgment as to the correct time by a slight contrast.

Abstract: 1762. Owen, E. H. Jan. 25. N o n - r e a c t i v e operating-mechanism for separately pivoted wheels; adjusting steering and like handwheels. - Relates to steering-gear in which the handwheel is mounted on an horizontal shaft which operates, through worm gearing, a vertical shaft carried by an adjustable steering- column. The hand-wheel A, Fig. 1, is mounted on a short telescopic shaft B carried at one end in a bearing in the sleeve E, which is telescopically adjustable on the tube F so that the position of the hand-wheel may be varied. The shaft B operates the vertical shaft H by means of the worm gearing shown in Fig. 2, which consists of an eccentrically-mounted worm B<3> on the shaft B, gearing with a suitably-shaped sector on the shaft H so that the angular velocity of the shaft H relatively to that of the shaft B increases as the displacement from the mid-position increases. The vertical shaft H is also telescopic and is enclosed in a casing adjustable in height in a similar way to the sleeve E. The shafts H, B need not be telescopic, their ends being then adapted to project through the casings when these are telescoped.

Granted: 1910-04-07
Abstract: 12,878. Akt.-Ges. K÷rting's Elektricitats Werke. Nov. 9,1908, [Convention date]. Commutator motor meters.-The position and mechanical pressure of the brushes on the commutator are varied simultaneously by means dependent on the strength of the current. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the armature a is movable axially by a solenoid l, and is provided with a conical commutator h. As the current increases, the armature is drawn down by the solenoid l, and the brushes i bear on a portion of the commutator of increased diameter, the pressure between the brushes and the commutator being thereby increased. The commutator may be in the form of stepped cylinders connected by short inclines. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the brushes i<1> are attached to an insulating-block o of smaller width than the diameter of the commutator, and movable to or from the axis to vary the pressure of the brushes and their angular position on the commutator. In the construction shown in Fig. 6, the brushes i<2> are hinged to movable parallel bars q<1>, q<2>, and are pressed on the commutator by springs p. The bars are connected, for instance, by a slotted lever r to the movable solenoid or armature, so that the angular position and pressure of the brushes vary with the current. The brushes may be pressed upon by plate or torsional springs, or may themselves be resilient.

Toothed gearing.-Relates to reducing or accelerating gearing of the type comprising sets of epicyclic gear trains, one or more of the planetcarriers of which is secured to the sun-pinion of the next train. The invention comprises combinations with slipping brakes constituting variablespeed gearing and constituting also safety overload devices for capstans &c. driven by electric and internal-combustion motors. Relatively low and high speed shafts h, d, Fig. 6, project from a casing a and rotate in the same direction. The planetgears e<1>, e<2>, e<3>, e<4> of the reducing or accelerating trains mesh with one broad internally-toothed ring b secured to the casing a. These gears e<1>, e<2>, &c. are supported in carrier-casings f<1>, f<2>, f<3>, &c., which are formed with the sun-gears of the adjacent trains, as shown in Fig. 8. These casings f<1>, &c. are supported one on the other centrally and float loosely without any lateral fixing other than the cover of the casing a. The internallytoothed ring l of the last train is loose and can be held stationary or allowed to slip with respect to the casing a by an electro - magnetic brake m. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement comprising low and high speed shafts h, c rotating in the same direction, and a reversely-rotating tubular shaft d. The carrier-casing l of planet-gears e of a reversing- train connecting the shafts c, d is in this case adapted to be held or allowed to slip by a brake m.
