Patent GB-190415258-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electro-magnetic Switch Devices for Telephone-stations
Inventor: ARNHEIM PAUL
Filed: 1904-07-08
Granted: 1904-11-24
Abstract: 15,258. Arnheim, P. July 8. Telephone systems. -An electromagnetic switch device for party lines, or for connecting any one of a number of branch lines with a common trunk line, comprises a relay circuit actuating a ratchet contactmechanism. In order to connect the line-wire H with the branch wire 12, say, the inductor III is actuated so as to send a current through the wire 12, contact 6, relay R, and ground E, E<3> to the contact-spring f<3> and contact-ring c<3>, which is so constructed as to give separate impulses. With each impulse, the relay circuit is closed, and the electromagnet A actuates the pawl a' and ratchet end of the contact-lever b. As the lever b rotates, it lifts the contacts 4, 5 by means of the blocks 9, 8, but, when the spring c' reaches the pin 3, a new circuit is completed from the wire 12, pin 3, spring c<1>, and the line H to ground, &c. The relay R is thus cut out, and no further movement of the arm b occurs. To prevent the connection from being destroyed by another inductor, the line joining the relay R to earth is broken during the conversation.

Inventor: HOFE HORST KALAU VOM
Filed: 1904-07-19
Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 16,014. Hofe, H. K. vom. Nov. 7, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D 1901]. Fastening.-The girth band g of a saddle is tightened by turning up an attachment buckle k which is hinged to the skirt p, so that the ten sion of the band presses the buckle inwards. The buckle consists of a U- shaped frame provided with a cross-bar m with rigid prongs n which engage in holes in the band. In a modification, shown in Fig. 5, an open-link chain engaged by a tongue on the buckle replaces the leather strap r and prongs. For double straps, two adjacent buckles have their inner arms pivoted together, and their outer arms hinged to the skirt as shown in Fig. 1, to permit them to move independently.

Granted: 1905-06-08
Abstract: 18,743. Walton, A. R. Aug. 30. Metal, sheet, seaming and joining; making pipes and tubes.-Metal sheets are joined together to form larger sheets or pipes by a joining-bar which is so shaped that one side of the joint has a protuberance and the other is smooth. The joining- bar C is of trough section and has on each side a groove. The edges B of the sheets A to be joined together are bent over, waved, corrugated, or expanded and inserted in the grooves and the whole subjected to pressure, preferably by rolling, whereby the side edges of the bar are bent over and secure the edges of the sheets. Fig. 1 shows a pipe formed from two sheets A of metal and having its exterior smooth, while Fig. 2 shows a pipe having its interior smooth. The invention also applies to the construction of tapered pipes and to joining flat or other shaped sheets of metal together, in which one surface is required to be finished smooth.

Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 583. Ritchie, C. Jan. 11. Valves and valvegear.-A combined fluid actuated and tappet-gear c o mprises a main slide 6 with a cylindrical face 42 and piston ends to which steam passes through passages 32, 33 controlled by an auxiliary slide working on the back of the main slide and at right-angles to it. The auxiliary slide is in two pieces 10, 10<a>, each of which controls the steam to one end of the main slide and the exhaust from the other end. These parts may be adjusted relatively to vary the cutoff by rotation of the valve spindle 4, and this rotation simultaneously adjusts the position of the nuts 40, 41 against which the tappet 13 impinges so as to vary the stroke of the valve to suit the cut-off, and, in consequence, the stroke of the engine piston. The main valve ports may be arranged as shown in Fig. 8, and an auxiliary valve employed having a slightly modified exhaust cavity.

Title: Improvements in Detent Devices for Adjusting the Carriage Displacement of Type-writing Machines.
Inventor: SCHUELER FRANZ
Filed: 1906-04-05
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 8274. Sch³ler, F. April 5. Typewriters.-Variable spacing is effected (1) by providing the carriage rack with several sets of teeth gearing with corresponding detents or with one pair of adjustable detents, and (2) by means of several ratchet-wheels arranged radially about a common axis or in line on a spindle and movable successively into gear with the detents. (1) The carriage rack has four sets of teeth arranged at rightangles and is carried by spindles u, u<1> turning in the carriage. To the spindle u is secured by means of a pin and slot v a finger-button c carrying a disk s. A pin t on the disk s is held by a spring in engagement with one of four holes in the carriage. Four pairs of detents e, f are mounted radially in a frame x which is rotatable about pins k, l. A bail g, pivoted on the pins k, l and passing beneath the key-levers h, carries a spring-pressed pin m which engages either of four holes in the frame x. The pin l is elongated and on it is splined a spur-wheel q having a grooved collar z which is engaged by the disk s. When. the button c is moved to the right, the wheel q is brought into gear with a spur-wheel p on the spindle u so that the carriage rack and the detent-carrying frame x are rotated simultaneously. The several sets of teeth of-the carriage rack may be arranged side by side instead of radially. (2) Three ratchet-wheels 4, 5, 6, Fig. 4, having different numbers of teeth are journaled in a star-shaped frame 21. The spindle of each ratchet-wheel carries a pinion which can gear with the carriage rack. The frame 21 is rotated to bring any ratchet-wheel into action by means of a knob on the shaft 14 and is held in position by spring-pressed pins. The detents 26 are mounted on a support 28 carried by a frame 8 turning on pivots 10, 11. The detents are held together by a spring and oneis able to move aterally. When the frame 8 is rocked, the movable detent is pressed aside by a tooth of the ratchetwheel which then passes between the detents, the next tooth being engaged by the fixed detent. In the form shown in Fig. 8, the three ratchet-wheels 4, 5, 6 are carried by a shaft 38 having a long pinion 39 which gears with the carriage rack 1. The shaft 38 can be moved lengthways nnd held in one or other of three positions by a spring-pressed pin 37 which engages grooves in the shaft.

Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 25,998. Joy, C. L. Nov. 16. Surfacing the sides of skate runners or blades. A device for supporting the skate blade while being ground comprises an attachment to be secured to a reciprocating table and adapted to engage a stationary former, so that the grinding-point follows the contour of the blade, which is held against its bed during the grinding operation by guide-rolls. The blade 42 rests on a ledge 32, Fig. 2, on a block 25, Fig. 3, which swings on pivots 26 between end pieces 27, 28 attached to a vertical slide 17. Lugs 33, 34 prevent end motion of the blade. The slide 17 engages an upright 14 adjustably secured to the reciprocating table 1. Springs 22 keep the roller 21 carried by the slide 17 -in engagement with an adjustable stationary former 18 secured to the bed 2. The block 25 is tilted with respect to the grinding- wheel by the adjustment of screws 31 passing through block 29, which has a lip 30 in contact with the block 25 and engaging the block 28. The blade 42 is held against the block 25 during the grinding operation by rollers, pins, &c. 35, 36 mounted on adjustable arms 39 on the bed 2. The grinder operates between the two rollers. The means for reciprocating and reversing the table 1, and the arrangement of the grinder, are similar to those commonly used in knife-grinding machines.

Abstract: 5740. Langguth, P. May 16, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Floors and flooring.-Relates to the construction of stonewood floors to minimize cracks. The floor is laid on an elastic intermediate layer which is placed on a concrete foundation, and the floor surface is divided into areas by leaving spaces, preferably over the joists, which are afterwards filled in. In one form, the elastic layer 6, Fig. 1, consisting chiefly of cork grains, is stopped at the joists, and the gap is filled to the same level by a stonewood layer 8 ; the surface 5 is then laid and, when set, is finished by filling in the layer 4 with the same stonewood composition. Fig. 2 shows another form, in which the tops of the joists are coated with the elastic composition 9 to the level of the concrete, the gap being finally filled with stonewood 4. In another form, similar to that shown in Fig. 1, the gap occupied by the layers 4, 8 is filled by running the stonewood layer 5 continuously over the gap.
