Title: Improvements on and relating to Arrangement for Indicating and Recording Permanently the Maximum Demand for Electrical Energy on any Circuit.
Inventor: LACKIE WILLIAM WALKER
Filed: 1907-02-01
Granted: 1907-10-03
Abstract: 2551. Lackie, W. W., and Steele, D. J. Feb. 1. Current and energy meters.-A maximum-demand indicator for use with a supply meter comprises a pivoted lever carrying a wheel or ratchet and arranged to be tilted by a solenoid ; in the tilted position, the wheel or ratchet is turned by the meter train and carries round a weight away from the fulcrum of the lever, or stretches a spring, till the lever is tilted back. The invention is a development of that described in Specification No. 8392, A.D. 1906. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a lever C pivoted at D is tilted when a coil A is energized, so that a wheel F on the lever engages and is turned by a wheel K of the meter train, and pushes round a weighted arm E, sprung on the same axle, till the latter causes the lever to tilt back. The wheel F is then brought back to zero position by a small weight N, leaving the arm E deflected. The size of the wheel K may be varied to govern the speed with which the instrument acts. In a second arrangement, a wheel on the lever stretches a spring, as it turns, until the reaction of the spring tilts the lever back. The wheel is then returned by the spring, leaving a non-return wheel and pointer. In a third arrangement, shown in Fig. 4, a lever C is pivoted at D, and a ratchet quadrant F, pivoted on the lever C, is turned, when the lever is tilted, by a pin in conjunction with a holding-pawl. The ratchet carries round a weight E which ultimately tilts the lever back, the ratchet F with its weight E and pointer remaining deflected. Balancing-nuts G, G<1 >are provided, and adjustable screws a for limiting the tilting of the lever. In a modification of the last arrangement, the ratchet pushes a stiff pointer and is itself returned to zero when the current is switched off, the holding-pawl being lifted by the dropping of the core of a second solenoid. In another modification, the weighted ratchet pushes round a second ratchet carrying a pointer ; when the lever tilts back, the weighted ratchet comes out of engagement with its holding-pawl and is returned to zero by a spring, leaving the pointer-ratchet deflected.

Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 5196. Stapleton, J. F., and Londoner, J. N. March 4. Bottles, non-refillable.-Relates to a non-refillable bottle of the type having a valve casing, a spring-controlled conical valve, and a valved vent passage, and comprises means for mounting the valve, securing the valve casing in the neck, and controlling the vent passage. The valve casing B is inserted in the bottle neck and is secured by lugs 9 cemented in grooves in the neck. The spring- controlled valve 14 has a depending stem 24 terminating in a cup 25. The upwardly-extending part 18 of the valve spindle is guided in a tube 19, carried by a spider 20 and containing the valvecontrolling spring 21. Above the closed end of the tube 19 may be a flint glass stop 23. Secured to the casing is the vent tube 26 which may be provided with a valve 28. Above the valve seat is a small orifice 32 communicating with a tube 33 terminating at the upper extremity of the vent tube. This provides an exit for any liquid which it is attempted to force through the vent tube. The vent tube may extend to nearly the bottom of the bottle ; or it may register with an integral vent passage 27 formed in the walls of the bottle. When the bottle is inverted to discharge the contents, the valve is unseated by the liquid impinging on the cup 25.

Abstract: 12,150. LemblÚ, J. May 25, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Typewriters.-In an electric typewriter, all the key-levers 1, Figs. 1 and 14, of a group (two groups are shown in Fig. 1 and the connexions diagrammatically in Fig. 14) operate a rock-shaft 5, which initially actuates a rock-shaft 49 to close a main contact 81 for the group, and then actuates a contact-wheel 85 to close in order a contact 94 for an electro magnet 55, effecting the transverse of a rectangular type carrier 13 for adjustment in front of a hammer 31 in position determined by stop-pins 9 projected by the key-levers, a contact 93 for an electro-magnet 70 effecting carriage escapement feed, and a contact 92 for an electromagnet 56 effecting return of the type carrier and opening of the main contact 81. The electromagnets 55, 56 co-operate with an armature lever 57 connected by a link 51 to the rock-shaft 49, and type-carrier locking-pins 63, Fig. 13, one for each side, and controlled by levers 65 provided with cam notches engaging pins 67 on the corresponding links 51. The contact 93 is initially held away from its arm 88 on the wheel 85 by a finger 96 on the rock-shaft 49. The hammer 31 is operated by an electro-magnet 32 in a circuit through the framing closed by the stop-pins 9 and the co-operating part of the type-carrier, comprising two contact-springs, one for each group of pins 9, on slides 40 traversed with the type carrier. All the contacts are sliding spring contacts. The type carrier 13 slides in a shift frame 14 controlled by keys 18, 19, and is traversed by means of a rack 36 actuated by a toothed sector 37 and provided with arms 44 embracing the type carrier, so that the latter is free for case shift. The rack 36 is detachably coupled to the slides'40, and is guided on a rod 35 and supported at the rear by a roller 60. The types are on plates on spring-retracted plungers 25 struck by the hammer, the frame 14 is recessed opposite the hammer for the passage of the type plates, and the type plates are provided with guidepins to ensure rectilinear movement. The toothed sector 37 is mounted on a shaft '45 carrying a disk 46 provided with two radial notches 47 for engagement by two pins 48 on the two shafts 49, for actuation by the electro - magnets 55, 56. The locking-pins 63 co-operate with spririg stops 62 on the shaft 45.
