Patent GB-191106304-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Matrix Setting and Typeline Casting Machines.
IPC: B41B7/18
Filed: 1905-05-12
Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 6304. Typograph Ges. May 12, 1910, [Convention date]. Distributing matrices. - Relates to the distributing - mechanism of machines having matrices which are guided on wires and are distributed by rotation of the matrix-basket. To prevent damage being caused by splashes or projections of lead, the distributing-device does not come into operation until the basket has been tilted slightly by a constantly-acting force against which the basket is normally held down by a locking-device. The locking-device comprises a hooked lever 2 pivoted to the basket A and held bv a spring 5 in engagement with a rod 1 on the machine frame. The device can be released by means of a finger-key 4, and is automatically released after the casting by a projection 9 on the spindle 8 of the line-closing jaws. A spring 6 secured to an arm 7 tilts the basket slightly after its release. A roller 13 carried by a slide-block 12, which is connected by a rod 11 with an arm 10 on the basket, is thereby brought into engagement with a spiral guide 16 on the face of the driving-pulley 15. The matrix-basket is thereupon rotated and the matrices are distributed. When the roller 13 reaches the centre of the spiral guide it is disengaged therefrom, and the matrix-basket is returned to normal position by a weight 17. If it is desired to cast one line several times, it is sufficient to press down the basket so that it cannot be raised by the spring 6.

Title: Improvements in Relays for Strengthening Weak Electric Currents.
Inventor: SCHIESSLER JOSEF
IPC: H03F13/00
Filed: 1911-09-13
Granted: 1912-09-13
Abstract: 20,320. Schiessler, J. Sept. 13. Relays, non-circuit closing; telephones; variableresistance transmitters.-Relays are arranged so that the line magnet influences the passage of currents through an electric arc in a local circuit. The arc is provided with a system of regulating- magnets. The line magnet 18 actuates the magnetic spring blade 5 which is mounted on the shorter arm 4 of the permanent magnet 2. Arcs which are formed between the end 6 of the blade 5 and the screws 9, 9' are in a local circuit passing from the positive terminal 35 through the permanent magnet and the blade 5, then through the arcs in parallel to the point 39 and through the coils 29, 16, and 21 to the negative terminal 36. The core of the coil 21 acts to reinforce the vibrations caused by the coil 18, and the magnets 16, 29 act as regulating-magnets for the blade armature. A telephone receiver 28 is in circuit with a coil 22 wound over the coil 21. The magnetic disk 33 on the blade 5 is arranged to actuate the diaphragm 31 along with the coil 29 and hollow core 30 to produce sound-waves which issue from the receiver 32. When this instrument is used as a transmitter, the armature 34 on the diaphragm 31 actuates the magnetic disk 33 either mechanically or magnetically to set up the current oscillations. The hinged iron loop 13 is used for adjusting the magnetic circuit. The apparatus may be used as a repeater. In modifications one of the arcs may be omitted, and the regulating- magnet 16 may be replaced by two such magnets. Microphones may be used instead of the arcs, and a steadying-resistance consisting of an iron or other metal wire in a hydrogen atmosphere may be placed in series with the arc.

Abstract: 16,879. Guillery, R. July 21, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 28,045/11.] Testing hardness of metals.-In apparatus of the kind in which a ball is forced against the metal to be tested and the hardness is deduced from the impression made, the ball is brought into contact with the metal by a screw which serves as a micrometer screw for measuring the depth of the impression. The screw 2, which engages a thread in a frame 1, carries a circular graduated plate 4 secured to a milled head 3. A rod 6, carrying at its lower end the ball 8, extends within the screw 2 and is subjected to the pressure of a cushion, such as a series of spring washers 9. The milled head 3 engages the screw frictionally when turned in one direction and by means of a clutch when rotated in the opposite direction. The test-piece is placed on a movable platform 10 and the milled head turned until the ball touches the piece, when movement of the screw is arrested. The pointer 18 is then brought opposite the fiducial mark on the plate 4. The platform 10 is raised by means of a lever 11 and eccentric 12, which are afterwards returned to their initial positions. The milled head is then turned until the ball fits closely within the depression made in the test-piece and the reading of the plate corresponding to the depression is noted. In a modification the platform is raised by means of two levers, one of which is fulcrumed on a knife-edged piece.
