Title: Improvements in Electrical Signalling Apparatus.
Filed: 1910-03-22
Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 7154. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. March 22. Order apparatus.-The circuits controlled by an order-telegraph transmitter are kept closed independently of the motions of the transmitter for a sufficient time to allow the desired operation to take place at the receiver, by a device at the transmitter which retards the opening of the circuit after it has once been closed. In the example shown in Fig. 2, which illustrates an order telegraph of the type in which connected armatures of the transmitter G and the receivers E, E<1> tend to assume similar positions in similar alternating fields, the movement of the transmitter effects through a star-wheel r the closure of a contact k controlling brake devices kl, kl<1> which prevent the over-rotation of the receivers. The arm of the contact k is connected in such a manner to a retarding- device, such as an escapement or fly w, that the closing motion of the contact is not hindered, but the opening of the contact is retarded until the receivers having completed their motion, the brakes may be put out of action. The brake kl, under the influence of the alternating current flowing in the magnet m, is intermittently applied on a disk u on the receiver shaft, and thereby prevents the receiver armature from moving quickly and over-running. The brake kl<1> of the receiver E<1> is similar, but also serves to hold the receiver armature in the position in which it has been placed. Such retarding- devices may be applied to control the circuits of the transmitters in systems in which continuous-current for moving the receivers is obtained from adjustable brushes which bear on the commutator of a continuous-current motor or motor generator. Specifications 16,450 /03 and 378 /06 are referred to.

Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 21,276. Durbin, J. F., and Durbin, V. S. Sept. 13. Couplings, automatic. - Couplings of the knuckle type are provided with means for opening automatically with a minimum of friction. The tongue 8 of the knuckle 7 rests on two inclined surfaces 12, 13 inclined in such a way that the knuckle tends to assume the open position by gravity. The inclinations of these surfaces differ from a to c, Fig. 8, but are the same from c to d. In operation, when the coupler-heads are brought together, the tongue 8 first rises upon the bearing 12 which, being furthest from the pivot, receives less pressure from the tongue. In opening, owing to the play between the knuckle and knuckle - pin, the knuckle descends on the bearing 13. An inclined lip 16 surrounds the lower edge of each knuckle to prevent the knuckle from dropping out of the opposing coupler-head if the draw-bar should be pulled from its bar.

IPC: G04C3/027
Filed: 1910-10-11
Abstract: 23,569. Berger, M. Oct. 11, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Electric clocks.-In a clock having an electrically-maintained pendulum, an electro-magnet 2 is arranged laterally at the lower end of the pendulum and above the armature 3 thereon. The circuit is closed at each forward swing of the pendulum through a tongue 4 freely pivoted to the casing, Fig. 1, the tongue, one side of which is insulated, being arranged in the path of a pin on the pendulum. The movement of the pendulum is transmitted through a crutch to an arbor 8, on which is fixed a counterbalanced arm 13, carrying a balanced pawl 9, which drives a ratchet-wheel 10. Striking-mechanism.-A contact-disk 15, Figs. 1 and 3, is rotated anti-clockwise by gearing with the clock train through one-twelfth of a revolution each hour. In front of the disk 15, a contact-arm 19 is arranged to rotate clockwise, pins on the arm being adapted to engage at each hour with contact-pins 6 arranged on the disk as shown in Fig. 7, to actuate the hour-striking devices. Another contact-arm 22, behind the disk 15, rotates one an hour, and engages a set of contacts at the back of the disk to actuate the quarter - striking devices. In a modified arrangement, the arm 19 may carry the contacts for actuating both the quarter- and hour-striking devices, bridges being arranged to lift the arm at the required times. Figs. 6 and 7 show a further modification, in which the disk 15 is driven intermittently through one forty-eighth of a revolution every quarter of an hour. This is effected by mounting it on the same arbor 2 as a wheel 3 with forty-eight teeth engaged by a nose 5 on a pinion 4 rotating once in a quarter of an hour. In this case a fixed contact-member 8 engages with the disk 15.
