Title: Mechanical Block System for Tramways.
Inventor: SAMAIA DINO DAVIDE
IPC: B61L23/12
Filed: 1910-02-15
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 3770. Samaia, D. D. Feb. 15. Mechanical systems, automatic ; track apparatus actuating signals other t h a n on trains; visual outdoor signals. - In a turn-out system for tramways employing four treadles, two for blocking and two for clearing the line, the signal at one end is placed in front of, and at the other behind, the corresponding treadle, so that simultaneous actuation of both treadles does not block the line in both directions. The locking- treadles a, a' and the clearing-treadles b, b<1> all have heads c extending to the level of the rail and held up by springs d. Levers e attached thereto are connected to cords g, h, the cords g being connected to blocking-levers i, and the cords h to clearing-levers to which are attached recessed levers k, in the recesses m of which normally rest the hooks n of the semaphore arms, the springs acting to hold them raised to " clear." When a treadle a, a<1> is depressed the lever i is rotated and presses out the lever k and allows the semaphore to fall to danger, while on a treadle b, b<1> being afterwards actuated as the car passes out, the clearing- lever is pulled down and the spring o pulls the lever k under the hook n so that the semaphore is again raised to " clear " as soon as the car passes off the treadle.

Abstract: 4057. Brown, G. Feb. 18. Folding boxes; fittings, internal.-Collapsible boxes for eggs and other fragile articles consist of a sheet folded to form V-shaped troughs, the sides of which are cut, punched, or stamped to form flaps for supporting the contents, ends c. Fig. 2, scored at e<1>, and a piece h of corrugated paper. The folded portion h<1> of this piece is received in slots cut in the troughs, and the ends are bent over to cover the box. In a modification, a sheet of corrugated paper is bent to form a partition a<1>, Fig. 4, and shallower partitions a<2>, slotted to receive other slotted partitions i. This portion together with a sheet h is surrounded by a band a<5>. The partitions a<2> may be dispensed with, and compartments formed by partitions i and strips i<2>, Fig. 5; also the band a<5> may be replaced by ends a<6>.

Abstract: 6133. Oliver, F. March 11. Renewable calks of the form shown in Fig. 4 are made slightly taper in two directions during manufacture by the shearing cut and by the pressure of the punch employed. The shank, which is no longer than the depth of the shoe, meets the head in a curve. The calk may thus be removed from the shoe by a forked wedge.
Patent GB-191015871-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Washing, Dyeing and Softening Machines.
Inventor: GIBBINS WILLIAM GEORGE
IPC: D06F21/04
Filed: 1910-07-02
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 15,871. Gibbins, W. G. July 2. Washing-machines with enclosed rotary receptacles.-A cylindrical or rectangular vessel c is mounted so as to oscillate through nearly 360 degrees, and contains two radial partitions. One radial partition d is fixed to the vessel c and bears closely against the shaft b; it is built up of longitudinal ribs, some of which are, longitudinally, of double-convex shape; the other f is fixed to the shaft b and is made similarly of longitudinally double-concave ribs. The vessel c is oscillated by a belt-wheel g through gear m, n, o, the last gear-wheel o being fixed to a trunnion projecting through one of the end walls of the vessel c. The reversals of motion of the gear-wheel o are effected through cam gear connected to lever gear t, r, shifting the driving-belts, a spring-pressed pin r<1> ensuring rapid completion of the motions. In order to cause the upper partition f to move with the vessel c, an arm attached to a prolongation through the trunnion of the shaft b is fixed to the gear-wheel o by a pin. If it is desired to keep the partition f vertical, an arm 1 attached to the other end of the shaft b is fixed by a pin 2 to an arm 3, which has one end freely mounted on the shaft b, while at the other it engages a curved bar 4, on which are mounted springs 5 which tend to keep the arm 3, and therefore the partition f, vertical. To cause the partition f to move with the vessel c, but at a slower speed, the pin 2 is passed through a hole 7 in the other end of the arm 1 and a hole 8 in a second large gear-wheel 6, which is driven more slowly than the first wheel o. Clean water is supplied to the casing a from a main 13, while dirty water flows away through an outlet pipe 11. The end of the outlet pipe may be turned up so that the escaping water can be seen as it trickles over the pipe end. When goods require squeezing, they are loaded on either side of the partition d fixed to the vessel c, and the other partition is held in the vertical position. As the vessel swings round, the goods are lifted up and squeezed against the second partition, which yields to the pressure. When goods require rubbing without squeezing, the second partition is given the low-speed movement, and the curvatures of the longitudinal ribs cause a suitable rubbing motion. When washing goods that require more movement, the second partition f is fixed so as to move with the vessel.

Title: Improvements in Motor Controller Circuits.
IPC: H02P1/18
Filed: 1910-07-21
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 17,340. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. July 21. Systems for continuous-current motors only; electric braking.-In a controller for electric motors having a shunt field winding and a dynamic braking-circuit, a resistance in series with the shunt field winding is automatically short-circuited when the motor is started or braked, but is always in circuit with the shunt field winding when the motor is inoperative, in order to build up the field quickly when the motor is started. In the arrangement shown, on moving the arm 20 of the master switch 4, which may be located at a distance, on to the segment 21, the winding of the main switch 1 is energized and closes the contacts 7, 8, the latter short-circuiting the resistance 10 in series with the shunt field winding F, and the contact 7 placing the armature 5 in circuit with the starting-resistance 13. On moving the arm 20 on to the segment 22, the operating-coil 2 of the rheostat &c. 13 is energized and removes the resistance in series with the armature. In stopping the motor, when the arm 20 is moved back on to the segment 21, the coil 2 is deenergized, inserting all the resistance 13 in series with the armature, and closing the switch 19, which completes a circuit across the motor armature for winding 3, which then closes the switch 14, so short-circuiting the armature through a resistance 15 to brake the motor. At the same time, the switch 16 is also closed, short-circuiting the resistance 10 during braking. When the motor stops, the switch 3 drops, opening the switch 16, and re-inserting the resistance 10 in series with the shunt field winding F across the mains.
