Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 26,030. Bernhard, E. E. Dec. 2. Tickets, issuing.-Relates to sale apparatus for tickets, labels, coupons, &c. The tickets &c. are piled in a receptacle 7, and the lowest is pushed forwards to pivoted catches 52 by a projection 2 on the rear of a plate z during the forward movement of a sliding carriage s, which works on guiderails r and is connected to the plate by links u. Simultaneously, the nose 49 of a spring-controlled lever 48, which is pivoted to the plate z, delivers the ticket which has been fed forwards at the previous operation through a delivery slot 51, the ticket raising a serrated plate 53 which blocks its passage. The carriage is traversed hy a solenoid a, the core b of which is connected by a link c to a counterweighted lever k, having a forked arm n embracing a pin 3 on one of the links u. During the initial stage of the movement, the plate z is raised into position to engage the lowest ticket by the rocking of the link u, which continues until the link engages an adjustable stop 6 on the carriage, whereupon the traversing movement commences, During the return movement, which is effected by a counterweight m, the projection 2 and the nose 49 pass below the tickets, while a guide-roller 71 which travels along the surface 72 on the outward movement returns along the lower surface 73. A roller 23 on the carriage rides upon a bevelled projection 24 on a lever 17, depressing the lever and drawing down a spring- controlled sliding rod 18, a block 20 on which closes through contacts 22 the circuit of a solenoid 8. The movement of the core through links 9 throws the hammer 13 carried by pivoted levers 10 on to the ends of the ticket, which rests on a printing- ribbon 14 above two sets of changeable type 15. The ribbon is wound on rollers 26, 30 mounted in the frame q, and provided each with a ratchetwheel 36 ; one ratchet-wheel is rotated at each movement of the carrier by a two-armed pawl 38 held in position to engage one of the ratchet-wheels by a spring 40. To reverse the movement of the ribbon, the position of the pawl 38 is reversed by the engagement of inclined plates 44, 45 on a lever 42 with pins 46, 47 on the pawl, the lever having end rollers 43 which bear on the rolls of ribbon.

Abstract: 9611. Means, J. Oct. 14, 1908, [Convention date]. S t a r t i n g ; launching- ways.-Means for inclining the launching-device described in Specification 9608/09, and for driving the cable thereof are described. The base 6, upon which the machine runs prior to launching, is pivoted at 7 to the upper floor of the turntable 1, and is adapted to be tilted by means of a rack and pinion 14, 16. The base 6 is supported upon the rack by a roller 13. The tension of the cable may be adjusted by the screw M working in the sliding journal 11. In order that, while employing a small and portable motor to drive the cable 9, sufficient energy may be stored up to give the aerial machine the necessary starting velocity, a heavy fly-wheel 23, Fig. 2, is mounted on the shaft 22 of the pulley 10; by means of a changespeed gear 24 operated by the hand - lever 28, the speed of the fly-wheel may be gradually raised prior to clutching the machine to the cable. A friction clutch 26 is interposed in the motor shaft. Alternatively, the pulley 10 is mounted directly upon the motor shaft and the available energy is gradually increased by clutching the fly-wheels 31, 32, 33, Fig. 4, in succession to the pulley 10 and to each other. Levers 34, 35, 36 are adapted to slide the fly-wheels upon the shaft 22 for clutching,

Abstract: 4575. Lange, O. Feb. 23. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Mechanical stoking. - Stoking-devices operatively connected with the furnace door ensure the delivery of the green fuel in front of, and separate from, the incandescent fuel, and also push the fuel towards the bridge. Two multiple-prong forks 2, 3 are mounted in the roof of the furnace on shafts 4, 5 connected by linkage with two arms 8, 9 on the fire-door hinge-pin. The fork 2 is operated from the firedoor through a positive connexion, the fork 3 by a tappet 15 acting in opposition to a counterweight 16. On opening the fire-door through a right-angle, the fork 2 descends to a vertical position, the fork 3 still remaining in its normal horizontal position. On further opening the door, the fork 2 rises to the horizontal, which the fork 3, under the action of the tappet 15, descends to the vertical. On closing the door, the reverse motions take place. The linkage is enclosed within a recess out of reach of the direct heat of the fire.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Controllers for Electric Motors.
Inventor: FORTINGTON-NEAVE WILLIAM JAMES
IPC: H02P1/20
Filed: 1910-03-18
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 6825. Neave, W. J. Fortington-. March 18. Master control systems; systems for continuous-current motors only. - A motor controller comprises a number of separately-actuated electromagnetic switches successively operated to cut out resistance, and an electro-magnetic relay for each switch to prevent operation of the next switch while there is an abnormal current. As shown, switches 1, 5, 5<a>, 5b control resistance sections in series with the armature 11. Relays 10, 10<a>, 10<b>, one for each switch except the starting switch, are in series between the switches and the armature, and control the operating windings 6, 6<a>, 6<b> of the switches. On closing the starting-switch 3 of the operating winding 2, the switch 1 is closed and current passes from the main through the switch 1, relay 10, all the resistance sections, the armature 11, and the field to the main. The circuit of the operating- winding 6 of the switch 5 is also closed through the contact 4 of the relay switch 9. If the current is abnormal, the relay breaks the circuit of the operating-winding 6 at the contact 4 until the current decreases sufficiently, whereupon the winding 6 is again connected up and the switch 5 is closed so as to cut out the first resistance section. All the switches and relays operate in the same manner, and each switch short-circuits its corresponding relay, so that it cannot be opened again. The switch 5<b> cuts out all the resistance and connects the motor across the mains.
