Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Cables.
IPC: H01B7/14
Filed: 1910-02-16
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 3818. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Dieselhorst, W. Feb. 16. Cables for submarine use, particularly for telephonic work, in which the conductors are covered with materials such as gutta-percha, india-rubber, bitumen, &c., which are usually classed as non-hygroscopic, have a layer of metal foil such as tin or lead foil wound helically or otherwise between some or all of the layers of insulation, for the purpose of preventing mechanical contact and avoiding the transfer of moisture through the layers by endosmotic action.

Title: Improvements in Reversing Gear especially applicable for Washing Machines and the like.
IPC: F16H3/00
Filed: 1910-02-28
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 4982. Stanley, E. J., and Aublet, Harry, & Co. Feb. 28. Controlling reversing - gearing.- Relates to reversing - gearing, for washing - machines &c., of the type wherein the belts are shifted by means of a pivoted arm operated at intervals by a wormwheel rotated from the driving-shaft, and consists in the means for varying the intervals and for procuring a rapid shifting of the belts. In one form, the belt-shifting pivoted arm n is formed with two pairs of differently-spaced and differently-projecting surfaces s, t between which works a roller m axially movable within a hole in the worm-wheel h. Assuming that the reversals have been effected by the oscillation of the roller between the surfaces s, and it is desired to diminish the interval between the reversals, a pivoted key 19 is disengaged from a groove 17 in the fixed spindle j and the sleeve 11 which carries the roller m in a bearing 13 fitting in the hole in the worm-wheel is drawn outwards and retained by engaging the key in the groove 18. The roller has now entered between the surfaces t and consequently will operate the arm n more frequently. Rapid movements of the arm from one side of the vertical to the other are effected by means of a spring x, which bears against a sliding block z connected by a link 4 with a fixed pivot 5. As a modification, the roller m, fixed in position, may work between adjustable projections on the arm n.

Abstract: 6514. Smith, C. F. March 15. Feeding webs.-Tags, such as those described in Specification 6512/10, [Class 73, Labels &c.], for indicating the size, price, &c. of hosiery &c. are made from a strip which is fed from a drum 95 by rollers 99, 99, 100, 101, the lower of each pair being mounted on the intermittently driven shafts 102<1> and the upper in slides pressed down by springs but raised, to release the strip for spacing, by dogs 35 on the slides 23, 24 engaging levers 116. As the strip is intermittently advanced, it is operated upon by the tools &c. carried by the slides 23, 24, Fig. 1, the first of which is a punch 146 to form spacing- holes subsequently engaged by the pointed finders 147, 167. A punch then cuts out the blank, which is returned to its position in the strip by a spring ejector. The blanks are carried by the strip s through the machine until the tags are finished. The strip s now passes the second pair of feed-rolls 100, 101, Fig. 11, and is wound on a drum 141 driven by a belt 145, while the finished tags h slide along a triangular tube 94 supported by an adjustable pin 134.

Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 10,912. Chadwick, L. S. May 5. Indicating on vehicles their position on road. -A record disk, driven from the wheels of an automobile so as to make one revolution in going over a given route, is embossed or perforated by a set of hand-punches, which are operated during the journey to record the turnings which should be taken and the points of danger &c., and is afterwards used for causing the display of corresponding road-guide and danger signals at the appropriate points of the route when the journey is repeated or during the return journey. The disk 4, Fig. 2, of card or soft metal, is mounted on a turntable 5, which normally engages a clutch wheel 7, driven by flexible shafting through reducing- gear comprising a worm and worm-wheel 11, 12 and a differentially-toothed planetary pinion device 16, 17, 18. The clutch 7 can be disconnected at will by throwing over a cam-lever 23, pivoted in a protruding sleeve 24, of the turntable 5, and the turntable can then be rotated to adjust the card by using the camlever as a crank handle. Spring-returned punches 50, Fig. 3, operated by marked buttons 51, are arranged in a staggered row across the front of the casing so as to act at different radial distances on the card 4, and the frame plate at the rear of the card has a corresponding set of apertures 53. Lever punch mechanism is also described. Records made by these punches are subsequently used to operate signals such as 2, Fig. 5, through bell-crank tracing levers 30 and links 35. The signals 2 are mounted in a windowed chamber at the top of the casing 1, and may be pivoted on two shafts so that two signals may be shown simultaneously for the purpose of increasing the number of significations. Alternatively, word signals may be displayed, or the links 35 may operate signal shutters. The record may have information marked on its face, and may control audible and lamp signals as well as visible signals..The signals may be electrically operated.

The cam k is mounted in a. box m, and is operated through gearing r from an expanding rope-pulley q mounted on a shaft c. A jockey t may be provided for the driving-rope s. The section rollers are removably attached to spindles f mounted in a hollow arm d loosely mounted at one end on the shaft c and provided with chain, spur, or like gearing c, Fig. 3, by which the motion of the shaft is transmitted to the rollers. The arms d are provided with projections d<1>, d<2>, adapted to rest on the frame on either side of the shaft c. A plate z is provided on which the finger-guides j may rest when turned back. In a modification, the arms d may hold the spindles f in different elevations.

Enveloping in special media; insulation. - Electric motors and dynamos, particularly such as are required to work amid unfavourable surroundings, as, for example, when coupled to submerged water pumps or drills, are completely encased, and the enclosed spaces filled with a practically incompressible electric insulating- substance, such as oil. The oil is kept under a pressure sufficient to cause it to exude slowly through the packed gland C' by means of a plunger sliding in a close-fitting sleeve in the casing, or by making a portion F of the casing flexible and applying a pressure thereto by means of a buffer F<1>. The supply of oil in the casing may be replenished at intervals through a flexible pipe G, and the necessary pressure within the casing may be obtained by employing a sufficient head of oil or by means of a pump, a pressure gauge being provided, if required. The oil is kept cool by a circulating-coil E and by radiating-gills E<1> on the casing. The oil may serve as the insulating-medium between the windings, which may be merely bound with cotton or linen tape to keep them apart..
