Title: An Improved Method of Connecting Tubes.
Inventor: WESSBECHER EMILE BERNARD
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1910-01-08
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 561. Wessbecher, E. B. Jan. 8. Joints for butt tubes formed from a rolled strip of metal are constructed by placing a collar c provided with lugs d round one element a of the two members a, b which are to be coupled, and then introducing the end of the tube b between the two lugs d. A ring e is then placed over the lugs and is pressed up so as to produce swellings and depressions, and thus thoroughly secure the joint. As shown in Fig. 7, the method may be used for joining a tube b to a plate or other plane surface g; and bedsteads, chairs, and other metal furniture may be constructed with joints of this type. In such articles, the parts may, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, be embossed so as to give an ornamental effect, and the swellings m may be made to extend longitudinally so as to prevent the tube from rotating. The tube k is prevented from turning by the fact that during assembling it becomes somewhat oval, but it may be further secured by end clamping-rings. The system may be used for joining wooden rods.

Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 3573. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Feb. 13. Weft-replenishing mechanism.-A weft-feeler locking device used in connexion with a twopart weft-feeler, such as is described in Specification 3271/10, comprises an additional slide or third member 27, Figs. 2 and 5, guided on the feeler-bed 5 and having a side extension 27' underneath the slide 8. The slide 27 is moved forwards by a spring 28, and is forced back by the weft on the full bobbin when the lay beats up, whereupon a projection 27<3> on the extension 27<1> acts on a set-screw 30 and causes the lever 21 to be rocked to the left to withdraw the feeler members 8, 19 out of contact with the weft on the bobbin. A spring-actuated locking-lever 33 then engages behind a rod 32 connected to the lever 21 and thus holds the lever 21 in this inoperative position, so that, on subsequent forward movements of the lay, and until a certain stage of weft-exhaustion has been reached, the feeler members do not engage with the weft on the bobbin. During this period, when a shuttle is present in the box at the feeler side of the loom, the slide 27 is moved sufficiently at the beat-up to cause a projection 27<a> on the slide 27 to engage the lower edge 39<2> of a spring - controlled bunter 39 on the lay, the hunter being thereby raised and being prevented from engaging the lever 33 and unlocking the rod 32. When the shuttle is in the box at the opposite side of the loom, so that the swell 14 is forced inwards by the usual lever 15, a wedge 15<a> on the lever 15 acts upon a stud 4) on the bunter 39 and raises it into inoperative position. When a certain stage of weftexhaustion is reached, the slide is not moved sufficiently at the beat-up to cause the projection 27<a> to engage the bunter 39, which therefore engages and rocks the lever 33, thus unlocking the rod 32, so that the feeler members are moved into engagement with the bobbin and thereafter act in the usual manner. The locking-device may be applied to an electric weft-feeler.

Title: Selective Electric Signalling on Telephone Exchange Party Lines.
Inventor: CROOK GEORGE HERBERT
IPC: H04Q5/06
Filed: 1912-03-18
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 6640. Crook, G. H. March 18. Party-line systems. - Selective signalling on central battery telephone exchange partylines is effected by using combinations of alternating c u r r e n t along one or other line wire and direct current in either direction along the same or the other wire, or of alternating- current along b o t h wires. The alternator H is connected to the primary of a transformer T, the equal secondaries of which are connected to positive and negative batteries so that the terminals C, D, E supply alternating current and alternating current with superimposed negative and positive direct currents, respectively,. At the line-stations relays R<1> ... R<10>, adapted to respond to alternating current, are connected to earth through condensers K, the relays R<1> ... R<4> and R<10> being connected to the line A, and R<5> ... R<9> to the line B. The relays R<1> ... R<8> when energized close the circuits of polarized relays P<1> ... P<8>, these relays being connected, in series with a retardation coil, from one or other line wire to earth. If the key S<4>, say, is depressed, alternating current is sent along the line A and positive direct current along B; this causes all the relays R<1> ... R<4> and R<9> to be energized, but only the relay P' is energized by the direct current. Similarlv, depression of any of the keys S<1> ... S<8> causes the energization of only the corresponding polarized relay P<1> ... P<8>. These relays, when energized, close the circuit of a polarized call bell connected to the particular line wire receiving alternating current when that station is called. The call bell B‹ is rung when both relays R<9>, R<10> are energized. Since the line circuit is normally open, the exchange can be called up in the usual way from any station by bridging the lines by a speaking set. In a modification, the relays P<1> ... P<8> are dispensed with by using unidirectional pulsating current instead of direct current, biased polarized bells being connected in place of these relays, and adapted to be rung by the pulsating current of one polarity only. The frequency of the alternating current is made much higher than that of the pulsating current, and the alternating-current relays are adjusted by springs and capacity to be responsive only to the higherfrequency current. In a second modification of the invention, the number of stations may be multiplied by using two or more sets of relay combinations as shown in Fig. 1, each set having bells responsive to a particular frequency, and using a number of alternating currents of different frequency.
