Patent GB-191215659-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Electromagnetically Operated Switches, Cut-outs, and the like.
IPC: H01H50/36
Filed: 1912-07-04
Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 15,659. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Brooks, R. July 4. Electro - magnetic switches of the current limiter type are constructed so that the current limit can be varied by bodily moving a polepiece r in a direction inclined to the armature b. A copper-strip winding h embraces a fixed core g and establishes a magnetic flux through the iron frame a, the pole-piece r, and the armature b, back to the core g. The pole-piece r is movable along a slot in an inclined part p by means of a screw s, thus altering the air gap between the pole-piece and the armature. A scale of current values t is traversed by a mark on the pole-piece. The armature b is mounted on a spindle c and restrained by a spring o, its movement being limited by the edges of a notch m. A spring contact l joined by a flexible lead to one of the terminals k<1>, makes contact with the other terminal k<2> when the current limit is exceeded. Automatic circuit - breakers. - The armature may operate the tripping-gear of an automatic circuit-breaker instead of carrying a relay contact as shown.

Title: Improvements in Telemeters.
Filed: 1912-07-19
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 16,837. Zeiss, C., [Firm of]. Aug. 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Range - finders.-Telemeters having a reflecting system which brings closer together the two axial rays entering the telemeter with a distance apart in the sighting plane equal to the length of the base-line. and having an arrangement for giving this reflecting system, in order to neutralize the error of reflection, a second disposition, the error of reflection of which has the same magnitude, are characterized by the second disposition being such that the error of reflection has the same sign as in the first disposition and that the distance apart of the two entering axial rays in the sighting plane is zero, so that the instrument can be adjusted by setting the images of an object at any sufficient but otherwise optional distance as when measuring and then rectifying the indication to read infinity. Figs. 29 and 30 show such a telemeter in the measuring and adjusting dispositions respectively. In this case the reflecting elements I, II mounted in the tubes g. h in the measuring disposition bring the ravs closer together before reaching the reflectors c, c<0>, c<1> by half the length of the base-line so that the members of this system need only be connected rigidly and need not have singly the property of invariable deflection. The tube h is rotatably connected to the tube i by sockets and the inner tube g is rotatable within the tube h as shown in the two Figures. Specification 21,870/09 is referred to.

Patent GB-191227290-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Pincer-lasting Machines.
IPC: A43D75/00
Filed: 1912-11-27
Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 27,290. Bates, A., Caselton, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Nov. 27. Lasting.-A pincer-lasting machine of the type described in Specification 22,071/11, in which there are two independent drivers which c a n be moved into and out of driving position, is provided with means for suspending the operation of one of the drivers when desired. The d r i v e r s A, A' are carried by bars A', A<3>, in a carrier B pivoted at B<1> to the frame of the machine and provided with means to move the drivers into and out of operative position. The driver bar A<2> is provided with a recess adapted to be engaged by a spring-pressed detent C forming one arm of a rock-shaft pivoted to the carrier B. The other arm of the rock-shaft has a hook C<4>, which can be engaged by a hook D' on an arm D. The arm D can be set in such a position that, on the movement of the carrier B to bring the drivers into operative position, the hooks D', C<4> engage, and the detent C is lifted, enabling the driver A to be operated. To lift the arm D so that the hooks miss each other and the one driver is thus rendered inoperative, a rod E connected to the arm D is arranged to rest upon the high part of a spring-supported cam F<1> when the edge-gauge of the machine is in position. It is usually desirable to drive one tack only when the pleating mechanism of the machine is in operation and the work is being guided by the edge-gauge. To enable two tacks to be driven when the pleating-mechanism is not operating, even though the edgegauge is being used, the arm D can be held down, forcing the arm E downwards and compressing the spring of the cam F<1>, by a saddle G<5> on one arm of a bell-crank lever G, of which the other arm is terminated in a cam-surface G'. This cam-surface is engaged by a roll K<9> mounted on the mechanism for throwing the pleating mechanism into operation. In mid-position when the pleating mechanism is inoperative, the roll engages a raised part of the cam, thus forcing the arm D down and causing the hooks D', C<4> to engage each other; both drivers are thus rendered operative. When the pleating- mechanism is in operative position for pleating either to the right or to the left, the roll K<9> engages low parts of the cam G<1>, leaving the arm D free to be operated upon by the cam F<1>. Specification 16,627/09 is referred to.

Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 14,459. Simpson, J. F. June 23. Sand, distributing on wheel tracks.-The current controller of electrically-propelled vehicles is arranged so that, when turned to apply the emergency brake, it causes the sand valves to be mechanically operated. In one form, the controller A rotates in a ring-shaped casting B containing a ring C. A stop B<2> on the casting prevents a lug D' on the ring C from moving beyond the neutral position of the controller. When the controller is moved in a clockwise direction to supply current to the motors, the ring C is unaffected. When, however, the' controller is moved in the reverse manner, it contacts with a lug D on the ring C and rotates the ring which is connected by a cord G to the sanding-mechanism. A turn-buckle H, J may be interposed to adjust the rope, and a removable casing H<1> may surround the turnbuckle. The valve may be opened by a spring- controlled bolt which normally engages a recess in the ring C and is displaced therefrom when the ring is rotated.

Granted: 1914-10-29
Abstract: 24,584. Wade, H., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Oct. 29. Boot-sole sewing machines; welting; feed by presser and the like.-A welt-end holding finger is moved forward as the machine is started to engage the welt-end and hold it on to the work. It may be moved positively during the feed of the work. In one construction, it is disengaged automatically during the first feeding movement; in another, it is maintained in operation after the manner of a feeding-point until disengaged manually. In the first construction, a finger 48, Fig. 12, is carried by a rod 51, pivoted at 52 upon a slide 53. A spring-pressed catch 58 is pivoted on the slide and a lever 62 engages it when the lever is turned as the machine is started. Thereby the rod 51 is advanced and the point 49 is pressed through the welt so as to hold this on to the shoe. In this movement, an upwardly-pressed pivoted finger 69 passes under a rod 67 which is carried by the feed-slide, but on the slight rearward movement of the feed - slide as the machine starts, the finger 69 is released and rises into line with the rod 67 so that, in the next feeding movement, the rod 67 engages with the finger and moves forward the rod 51, to which it is pivoted. As the rod 51 moves forward, a pin 60 upon it turns the catch 58 and releases the slide 53 from the lever 62 and permits a spring to withdraw it. In the second construction, Fig. 2, a holding - finger 7 is carried by a plate 8 slidingly mounted on a lever 9. The lever 9 is oscillated, in accordance with the movements of the feed - slide, when a vertical pin carrying a bowl 25 is moved to bring the bowl into engagement with a cam. The plate 8 is slidden upon the lever 9 to release the finger from the work by means of a camlever 36, which abuts upon a pin 10 on the plate 8 when the lever 9 is in its extreme forward position. Normally the plate 8 is held withdrawn by a block 15, Fig. 4, on a slide 16 which engages a pin upon the plate 8. This slide is advanced when the machine is started by means of a treadle adjacent to the starting- treadle, the block 15 is removed and simultaneously a wedge 30 raises the bowl 25 into engagement with its cam. The holding-finger is maintained in intermittent operation until the operator releases the treadle controlling the slide 18.

When the enclosed air expands owing to heat or altitude, oil is forced through a valve p in a central pipe o and is delivered through holes h to the axle. When the air contracts, oil in the axle-box is sucked into the reservoir through a valve r.
