Title: Improvements in and relating to Spring Contacts for Electric Switches, Fuses and the like.
Inventor: ECKSTEIN AUGUST
IPC: H01H1/42
Filed: 1910-10-11
Granted: 1911-10-11
Abstract: 23,526. Eckstein, A., and Heap, A. C. Oct. 11. Contacts.-Relates to electric contacts of the spring-clip type and consists in providing stiffer auxiliary jaws to prevent permanent set and to give an augmented spring pressure when the sides of the clip are separated. The invention is applicable to switches, fuses, and the like. As shown in Figs. 4 and 4<a> a copper spring-clip contact a<1> designed to receive a knife-blade contact E is attached to a terminal stalk B on which fits a pair of cast-iron jaws F embracing the turned-down portions a<1>. The jaws Fare removable and are retained in place by end pieces f<3>. In other modifications they are screwed to a block such as D which is mounted on the terminal stalk either above or below the bottom bend of the spring-contact. Cast steel or other strong and sufficiently resilient materials may be used for the jaw F. In the modification shown in Fig. 13 the auxiliary jaws F are mounted so as to be free to slide transversely if required by inequalities of adjustment, but are guided by rods f<7> so as to prevent tilting. Other slight constructural modifications are described for fulfilling the same purpose. A complete knife-blade switch is described, in which a spring-clip contact at the pivot is provided with the auxiliary jaws.

Abstract: 26,997. Barber, T. W. Nov. 21. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Adjusting centrally-pivoted axles for steering. -Comprises means for steering both axles of four-wheeled motor road vehicles. Three different methods of steering are described, but in each case both axles are enclosed in casings A<1>, Fig. 1, connected at the centres to ring- shaped frames A<11>, which swivel in the main frame about a point H out of line with the axles. A king-pin may be placed at H in some cases. In the first method of steering, a vertical worm-wheel E rotates a crank-disk connected by rods C to the axle cases. The axle cases or the ring-shaped frames also may be connected by crossed connecting-rods as shown. In the second form, a longitudinal shaft driven by bevel-gear from the steering-column is provided with oppositely-threaded worms engaging toothed sectors on the ring-shaped frames. Fig. 5 shows a third form, in which a twoarmed lever P connected to the axle cases by open and crossed rods O is provided with a toothed sector, which is oscillated from the steering-column through the medium of worm and bevel gear.

Granted: 1912-05-13
Abstract: 11,591. Sheppard, T. W., and Sheppard, F. W. May 13. Cooling pistons.-The piston 1 of an internalcombustion engine is cooled by a jet of oil or other liquid issuing from a stationary pipe 7 and impinging against the inner face of the piston. To ensure equality of distribution, the jet may impinge on the piston obliquely, or may be distributed by a projection 6. During the first half of the down-stroke the acceleration of the piston causes the oil to adhere to its inner face, and during the remainder of the down-stroke the oil is thrown off. The oil may be drawn from the crank chamber through an air-cooler.

Title: Improved Circuit Arrangements for Automatic Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1911-09-04
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 19,645. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Oct. 12, 1910, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Automatic exchange systems.-In systems in which a slow-release relay attracts its armature at the first of a series of impulses and releases it only when the series is concluded, means are associated with the relay for shortening the intervals between the impulses which keep it alive. This enables a relay to be employed having a smaller time-constant, whereby the time available for the hunting-movements of the selectors is less curtailed. The invention is described with reference to the two-wire system shown in Specification 19,573/11, in which a differentially-wound slowrelease relay is controlled by a line relay in conjunction with an auxiliary relay. The arrangement is such that, as long as the armature of the line relay is vibrating, the slow-release relay receives a momentary current every time the armature of the line relay touches either its front or back contact, but when the armature of the line relay remains against either its front or back contact, the slowrelease relay has time to become de-energized. With this arrangement the slow - release relay receives an impulse twice as often as the line relay, so that the intervals are shorter. Specification 26,301/06 is referred to.
