Granted: 1913-08-11
Abstract: 11,076. Bannehr, L. W., Dolton, J. H., Gilbert, J. B., and Watson, G. May 9. Index type-wheel machines; hammer - impression arrangements.-Relates to calculating- machines for setting and printing gross and tare items, computing and printing the corresponding net items, and registering and printing the totals of the three series, the type of machine being that described in Specifications 4872/08 and 4874/08. The movements of setting-wheels, manually adjusted by means of handles movable over setting scales, is communicated by pinions 99 to type-carrying segments 102, Fig. 13, the net segments carrying double sets of type to provide for either the gross or tare digit of a denomination being the greater. Grooved typebodies slide in radial recesses and have stretched therethrough a flexible wire 106 secured at the ends to springs 107 whereby a projected type is restored. The printing of zeros is normally prevented by hammer-digits 117, of which one is pivoted to each segment, and, for an undisplaced segment, when cams 115 upon one of the main-operating shafts turn so that a spring 113 impels the hammer towards the base of one of the types, a corner 118 of the corresponding detent arrests the hammer. Displacement of a segment removes the detent from the path of the hammer, and by means of overlapping parts upon the detents of each' group, all detents for lower denominations of the same group are sim ultaneously displaced. Depressions of a non- printing key 354, Fig. 47, raises a blade 361 into the path of the lower ends 111 of the hammers, which are thereby prevented from moving forward when released by the hammer cams. Towards the end of the ensuing operation of the machine a rod 335 is depressed and upon its upward movement restores the hammerobstructing blade to normal. Arrangements are made for preventing overthrow of the hammerreleasing cams.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electrically Driven Clocks.
Inventor: BENTLEY PERCIVAL ARTHUR
IPC: G04C3/027
Filed: 1913-04-10
Granted: 1914-01-29
Abstract: 8464. Bentley, P. A. April 10. Electric clocks.-In a clock having an electricallymaintained pendulum, a contact - spring in the impulse circuit is under the control of a pivoted arm operated by the pendulum, the arrangement being such that each time the current is switched on, it exercises a retarding effect on the pendulum during the latter part of one half-swing, the current always flowing in one direction. The pendulum has a cross-arm carrying tappers J', which are adapted to move a pivoted arm A, provided at its lower end with a cam A<2>, shaped as shown. As the pendulum swings from left to right, after it has passed the vertical position, the cam depresses a contact-spring C, thus switching on a current through a coil H mounted on the pendulum. A retarding effect is produced as the coil passes over a permanent magnet K, this effect becoming an accelerating one as soon as the pendulum reverses the direction of its swing. The circuit remains closed until the pivoted arm A, which has been left in the position in which the cam depresses the spring C, is again moved by one of the tappers J'. If the amplitude of swing of the pendulum becomes excessive, a notch A<3> in the cam is effective in cutting out part of an accelerating impulse. In a modification, the arrangement of the cam, the contact-spring, and the permanent magnet is duplicated, so that both a retarding and an accelerating effect are produced in each half-swing. Specification 19,044/10 is referred to.

Title: Automatic Releasing Apparatus for use with Vulcanising Presses.
IPC: B29C43/58
Filed: 1913-12-13
Granted: 1915-02-11
Abstract: 28,805. Olier et Cie, A. Dec. 21, 1912, [Convention date]. Clock movements.-An automatic clock-work releasing apparatus is provided for hydraulic vulcanizing-presses for the purpose of opening the press after a determined interval of time. The c ock-work comprises two trains, namely a train containing a three-armed cam 27 to actuate the releasing lever 28, and a timing-train with escapement to set free the actuating-train, the former having the spring barrel 33, and the latter the barrel 31. Normally, the operating-train is held by a detent 48 which with its end 50 obstructs a pin 51 on a pinion and with a tooth engages a notched disk attached to the cam. In this condition of the mechanism, the starting lever 16, resting on a pin 17, holds up a sectional rack 18, and with a spur 45 locks the time train by engaging a finger 24 on one of its arbors. Before starting, the interval is determined by turning a snail 22 having an index 34 for, a dial to allow a greater or less fall to the rack 18. When the starting-lever is displaced to the position shown, it lets the rack fall to the snail, frees the finger 24, and slightly shifts a lever 20, loose on the arbor 49 of the detent 48. This lever 20, having a pin bearing against a radial pin 56 on the arbor of the detent, in turn disengages the detent from the notched disk and the pin 51, but at the same time its end 55 stops the operating- train from running on by obstructing a pin (not shown) on another pinion. The time train moves round and a pallet 35 on the same arbor as the finger 24 gathers up the rack, while the starting- lever, being released, acts as a non-reversal pawl. When the rack is fully gathered up, the starting- lever falls again to the rest 17 and the following lever 20 sets free the actuating-train which runs till the detent 48 drops into the next notch of the disk.
