Title: Improvements in or relating to Presses.
IPC: C14B5/00
Filed: 1910-03-29
Granted: 1911-03-29
Abstract: 7646. Buckminster, I. C., Eaton, H. H., and United Shoe Machinery Co. March 29. [Addition to 6165/10.] Presses, mechanical. - Relates to a press of the type in which the presser members are relatively moveable into different operative positions with respect to each other, and particularly to the braking-means employed for bringing the presser members to rest in their operative position, such braking-means being rendered operative by the pressure-applying movement of the members, and serving to impart to the presser members, after the pressure-applying operation, a relative movement out of operative position. The invention is shown applied to a clicking-press of the type described in Specification 22,023/05, [Class 80, Mechanism &c.] The braking-mechanism comprises a drum 100 carried by a casting 104 loosely mounted on the platen-adjusting spindle 24, the drum 100 having a keyed connexion 108, 110 with the plunger 10 to allow for the vertical adjustment thereof. The drum 100 is engaged by a brake band consisting of two sections 118, 120, Fig. 3, mounted in a bolder 122 having a rearward extension 124, Fig. 1, through which passes loosely a spring-controlled bolt 126 loosely and adjustably mounted in the casing 128. The arrangement of the apparatus is such that, during the descant of the plunger, there is a relative retardation of the rearward extension 124, which serves to actuate the brake sections 118, 120, causing them to grip the drum 100. The brake mecbanism then shares in the lateral oscillation of the plunger 10, and the brake member and plunger are brought yieldingly to rest by the engagement of the extension 124 with one or other of two spring-pressed plungers mounted on either side thereof. As soon as the platen begins to rise, these spring-pressed plungers are released and serve to initiate an oscillation of the plunger 10 and platen in the reverse direction. An adjustable screw 142 by its engagement with a flange 114 on the drum 100 serves to ensure the descent of brake band with the plunger, and affords means for varying the amount of braking action on the drum 100. An adjustable screw 156 engages the extension 124, and provides means for adjusting the brake-releasing action of the extension 124. Specification 6165/10 is also referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Telephone Systems.
Inventor: NEUHOLD ERWIN
Filed: 1910-03-29
Granted: 1911-03-29
Abstract: 7659. Neuhold, E. April 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Automatic exchange systems.-In systems in which the release magnets of the selectors and connector are joined in parallel to a composite conductor made up of the test leads of the selectors &c. concerned, this composite conductor is joined to the testing potential through resistances and contacts controlled by the selectors &c., the contact being closed on the adjustment of the selector if the busy test is the presence of potential, and being closed in the position of rest if the busy test is the absence of potential. The Specification describes systems using each kind of busy test, that in which the test is the absence of potential being substantially the same as that described in Specification 22,596/09. The present Specification refers to the provision in a system of this kind, of an additional relay which is operated by an increase in current when two or more connectors simultaneously try to obtain connexion with the same subscriber's line. Fig. 1<A> shows the invention applied to a system in which the busy test is the presence of a potential. The subscriber's line-wires are normally connected through the release relays R<a>, R<b>, and switch u with the vertical and rotary line relays HR, DR. After the vertical magnet z has been operated by impulses sent through the relay HR, a single impulse through the relay DR causes the rotary magnet e to rotate the selector through one step, in which position the test-wiper d is earthed, thereby energizing the testing-relay i, which connects the rotary magnet e to the interrupter s, but does not release the switch u until it is de-energized. As soon as the wiper d reaches the ungrounded contact of an idle selector, the relay i is deenergized, and disconnects the interrupter, at the same time releasing the switch u so that the calling line is connected to the selector II, and the release magnet y is connected over the wire 46 with the test lead w. When the selector II is raised, a contact 49 earths the lead w through a resistance 39, and as soon as the selector has been fully adjusted, the switch u<1> connects the release magnet y<1> through contact 50 with the test lead w<1> of the connector, and through contacts 50, 54 with the test lead w. The adjustment of the connector proceeds in the same way, the release magnets of the selectors and connector being connected in parallel to the composite test-lead w, w<1>. The connexion is released when the calling subscriber earths his two lines simultaneously, thus energizing both the release relays R<a>, R<b>, which connect the positive pole of the battery to the test leads.
