Patent GB-191011048-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Telephone Apparatus.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: H04M15/30
Filed: 1910-05-04
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 11,048. Boult, A. J., [International Telechronometer Co.]. May 4. Electro - magnetic switches.-(1) The pointed armature b<4> of a telephone-call recorder bears against disks of different diameters on the springs b<18>, b<19>. The attraction of the armature allows relative movement of the disks, so that the spring b<18> engages a contact b<20> on the spring b<19>. The armature is reset by means of the telephone hook. (2) The polarized armature d<4>, operated by the magnets L, I<20>, carries two pairs of disks d<6>, d' of different diameters, engaging respectively the the springs d<18>, d<19> and n, n<1>. When the armature is attracted by the magnet I<20>, the spring d<18> engages a contact d<20> on the spring d<19>, thus short-circuiting the magnet. When the armature is attracted by the magnet L, the contact n, n<1> is opened, breaking the circuit of the magnet. The recesses in the springs d<18>, n retain the armature in its operated positions.

Abstract: 11,573. Austin Motor Co., and Austin, H. Dec. 12. Variable - speed gearing comprises two sets of toothed or chain gears a', a<2>, a<3>, Fig. 1, and b<1>, b<2>, b<3>, which are geared together in pairs. These gears are secured respectively to separate shafts A', A<2>, A' and B', B<2>, B<3>, which are arranged in two paralled lines. Clutch members C, C', C<2>, C<3>, sliding on the shafts A<2>, A<3>, B<1>, B<2> respectively, are adapted to engage clutch members upon the shafts A<1>, A<2>, B<2>, B<3>, so as to effect four forward speeds. For the top speed, the shafts A', A<2>, A<3> are all clutched together, all the gears turning idly. The second speed is through the gears a<2>, b2, b3, a<3>. The third speed is throngh the gears a<1>, b<1>, b<2>, a<2>. The lowest speed is through the gears a<1>, b<1>, b<3>, a<3>. Reversed driving may be obtained through idlers d', d slidable on a shaft D into mesh respectively with the gears b<2>, a<3>. The gearing is operated through a shaft R. The clutches C', C<3> are moved together by a yoke M operated by a lever K, Fig. 2, which turns about the shaft R as a pivot. The clutches C, C<2> are moved together by a yoke G operated by a lever E, Fig. 1, which is connected at its upper end to a link H. One end H' of the link H encircles an enlargement S upon the shaft R. The enlargement S and a key r slide longitudinally along with the shaft R, and subsequent turning- of the shaft R brings the selected speed &c. into operation. The key r is for this purpose adapted to engage either the lever K or a lever P, Fig. 2, for operating the idlers d', d. The part S has two parts S', S<2> having shapes designed to give the proper movements to the link H. Spring pins n, n<1> may be provided to lock the levers K, P.

Title: Improvements in Warp Stop Motions for Looms.
IPC: D03D51/20
Filed: 1911-11-09
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 24,947. Trafford, S., and Trafford & Co., R. Nov. 9. Stop-motions, warp.-The failure of a warp thread causes an obstructor to prevent the lifting of the weft fork by the weft, and thus to set in operation the ordinary weft stop-motion. A tumbler or pawl m is carried by an arm l, which is loosely mounted on the axis of the weft hammer j and maintained in contact with a lever h pivoted at h' on the weft hammer by a spring n. A link g connects the lever h with an oscillating bar e mounted below detectors c, c', and the parts are normally moved, without relative displacement, by an arm j<2>. If a dropper c' falls, the link g is locked and the lower end of the lever h causes the arm l to assume a new position relative to the hammer. The tail of the tumbler, which normally rests against the hammer head, is thereby forced outwards, and the tumbler falls on to and prevents the lifting of the weft fork o. If a dropper c falls, the upper end of the lever h moves the arm l. The tumbler may be replaced by a fixed projection on the arm l. When a fallen detector connects a vibrating with a normally stationary grid, the link g may be connected to the latter by a pin-and-slot arrangement.
