Patent GB-191002430-A (GB)
Title: Improved Paper Feed Device for Typewriters.
IPC: B41J11/36
Filed: 1910-01-31
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 2430. Wanderer Werke vorm. Winklhofer & Jaenicke Akt.-Ges., and Buschmann, T. E. Jan. 31. Platen rotation for condensedrecord work. The handle for turning the platen backwards and forwards is mounted so as to turn through an invariable amount whatever the amount for which the platen is set to turn. A crank 12, loose on the platen-spindle 5, is grooved to receive a slide 17 tensioned downwards by a spring 18 and having a pin 16 which rides on the rim of a stationary disk 14. In the normal or zero position of the crank, the pin 16 rests in a notch 19 in the disk, and a loose ball 20 is seated in a cup in the slide 17, and is engaged by a recess in a plate 21 secured to the face of the crank 12. The amount of rotation of the platen is determined by an arm 22, which may be adjusted round the shaft 5 and secured to the crank 12 by a screw-pin 25, which may enter holes 27 in the face of the crank. When the crank is swung forward, the slide 17 is raised by the pin 16 riding out of the notch 19, and the ball 20 is moved laterally by the cup in the slide rising and bringing the flat of the slide against the ball, which is prevented from rising by the plate 21. The lateral movement seats the ball in one of a number of cups 9 in a disk 7 which is secured to the spindle 5. The rotation of the crank 12 is not transmitted to the platen until the arm 22 reacbes the position shown in Fig. 7, as the ball 20 merely runs on the flat of the crank. Further rotation of the crank is then transmitted to the platen by engagement of a recess 23 in the arm 22 with the ball 20, the rotation of the crank and the backward rotation of the platen being arrested by engagement of the pin 16 with a stop-nose 28 on disk 14. When the crank is turned back, the arm 22 leaves the ball 20 and the platen remains stationary until the recessed plate 21 on the crank engages the ball, whereupon the crank is coupled to the platen, which is turned until the crank again reaches the zero position with the pin 16 seated in the groove 19. The crank thus makes an invariable rotation of nearly 360 degrees, while the rotation of the platen may be adjusted. The number of holes in the crank 12 and of cups in the disk 7 is the same as the number of teeth on the line-space wheel 3.

Abstract: 11,286. Vickers, Sons, & Maxim, and Elia, G. E. May 6. Mines, marine. - Relates to anchored mines floating at a g i v e n depth below the surface, and consists in connecting the detonator D, Fig. 9, of one mine A to the detonator of another by a cable D' which passes through the explosive chamber, so that, when a boat meets the connecting- cable, each detonator is drawn into its respective explosive casing, the anchor cable is released and the explosive charge then fired. The detonator is normally placed in a clip F, Figs. 1 and 5, outside the explosive casing and the cable is locked by a spring-pressed pin H, Fig. 5<a>. The clip F and the pin Hare secured by soluble plugs f, h, which are dissolved in succession after submersion. The detonator then falls and hangs down beneath the explosive casing ready for action. When the detonator is pulled into the mine casing A, it knocks against a lever b<2>, Fig. 6, which releases a lever b<4> and disconnects the anchor cable b. The firing is performed by the tension in the cable D<1> which compresses a spring d<2>, Figs. 5 and 7, and then shears a pin d<3> whereupon the spring impels the firing-pin d on to a priming-cap. A collar d<4> on the rod d' prevents the complete withdrawal of the spindle d<1>. The upper part of the central passage in the mine casing is occupied by a wood block A<3>, Fig. 9, which may be removed and replaced by an impact firing-device.

Granted: 1912-01-10
Abstract: 618. Jacques, A. W. Jan. 10. Hand - levers ; track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains.-To prevent the operation of the distant signal when a train is standing in the section, a locking-bar F is provided where the train would stand, for instance at the starting- signal, which bar, when depressed by the wheel flanges, pulls over a rod G and swings a lever H. This lever carries a red miniature signal disk N and also engages a spring-pressed bolt J sliding on a rod K. Springs l, l<1> are provided between the bolt, and the lever, and an abutment k<1> respectively. When the lever H moves owing to the depression of the bar F, the bolt J is moved into a hole in the signal lever M to lock it in the danger position. The bolt is removed after the train leaves the bar F. The locked lever may be the distant lever, but, as shown, the home signal lever M is locked, the distant signal lever M<1> being locked by a projection M<2> thereon projecting across the path of the home signal lever. An electric bell or other audible signal may also be given. A number of bars F, or a single long bar, may be employed to ensure the retention of the signal N after the engine has started. The signal lever M may be provided with an extension m having a hole m<1> to register with the bolt J when the lever is in the danger position. If the bar F is depressed when the lever is at safety, the bolt J is merely pressed against the plain part of the extension. The bar F may be moved down by the movement of the levers to safety.

Abstract: 10,834. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. May 4. Hand-levers and hand gearing, interlocking; signalling-instruments. - Apparatus controlled by alternating current is protected from interference by leakage currents or by inductive action of strong external currents by inserting in series with, or in shunt to, the apparatus a capacity and an inductance so adjusted that a large impedance is offered to the flow of leakage current through the apparatus, or such leakage current may pass to earth bv a shunt circuit. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, inductances L1, L2, L3, L4, and capacities C1, C2, C3, C4, are inserted in series with the apparatus A, B, and are so adjusted that currents of the frequency of the inductors G1, G2 pass through the apparatus, but currents of other frequency are choked. In order to protect the apparatus against high - voltage leakage currents, shunt circuits with inductances L5, L6 and capacities C5, C6 to earth are arranged to pass these currents to earth, and automatic disconnecting- appliances such as fuses S1, S, may he used to disconnect the line. In some cases, the reactance of the apparatus is made sufficient for the purpose of this invention.
