Title: Improvements in a Subscriber's Instrument Set for Automatic Telephone Exchanges.
IPC: H04M1/31
Filed: 1911-10-16
Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 22,805. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Oct. 16. Automatic exchange systems.-In a two-wire system in which the selectors are set by short interruptions of the line circuit, the subscriber's switch-hook is connected to a locking or retarding device so as to prevent the accidental transmission of short impulses by the switch-hook entirely or at any rate before the impulse-transmitter is actuated. The device shown in the Figure is such than when the circuit is once interrupted, the interruption is maintained for a sufficient length of time to release the selector that has been operated. The depression of the hook opens the contact 4,5, and also a second contact 2, 3, by the engagement of a projection 7 with an inclined surface 8 on the spring 2. The spring 2 is held in its operated position by a catch 10 which is tripped by a projection 12 wben the hook reaches its lowest position. The movement of the hook is retarded by a friction brake 14, 15, 16. The desired result may also be obtained by locking the switch-hook contacts when the hook is in its highest position, so that the contacts can only be opened by a complete depression of the hook. The switch-hook may also be controlled by the impulse-transmitter in such a way that the circuit cannot be closed at the hook until the impulsetransmitter bas been operated. In this case, the speaking-circuit at the called station must be closed by other means, such as by the ringing-current.

Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 11,781. Reis, M. May 17. Envelopes, making.-An envelope is made in such a manner that its back is in one piece so that it can be used for printed advertisements. The blanks a, Fig. 4, are stacked in a pile on the table of the machine, and are pushed one at a time between feed-rollers 9, 10 by means of reciprocating rollers 5. After passing the rolls 9, 10, the blank is gummed along the lines c, d, Fig. 4, by means of gumming-disks 17, and are then carried by conveyer bands 26 over a metal plate 31 heated by gas-jets 32 to dry the gum. The blank finally comes to rest against stops 33, and is then removed by hand from the bands, turned through a right-angle, and placed on stationary conveyer bands 34 between justifying-strips 35 which centre the blank. The bands 34 are moved intermittently and carry the blank over gumming-disks 44, which gum the blank along the lines e. g, i, l, Fig. 4, at right-angles to the first lines of gum c, d. The blank next passes beneath a knife 50, which divides it along the line n, o into halves, shown in Fig. 5, one of which falls against a stop 53. The upper half is temporarily held by a spring 54, while the lower half is being folded. The lower half is folded along the line p by a reciprocating blade 56 which presses it between rollers 55. These rolls - feed the folded blank between rollers 59 which press it lightly to make the gummed parts adhere. The line p is not quite in the centre of the blank, so that the folded blank, shown in Fig. 6 forms three envelopes with a projecting closing-flap d. Rollers 60, 62 formed with flanges and grooves respectively, impress grooves on the folded blank along the lines s at the sides of the gummed strips and at the same time press the blank. The grooves in the paper prevent the gum from spreading under the pressure. Finally, rotating knives divide the folded blank 63 along the lines r, Fig. 6, into three envelopes.
