Abstract: 26,934. Vogtlõndische Maschinen Fabrik (vorm. J. C. & H. Dietrich) Akt. - Ges. Nov. 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Cards, punching.-In feed-mechanism for use in jacquard-card punching machines, a pawl b carried by a lever d is .used to position and to lock a ratchet-wheel a. If when approaching the wheel the pawl does not properly register with a tooth space, the levers g, e permit it to move in opposition to a spring f into a position to enter the tooth space properly. The spring f subsequently returns the pawl to its normal position relative to the lever d, and in so doing moves the wheel into its correct position. In a second construction, a positioning-pawl g<1> is pivoted to a lever d' having a rigid locking- pawl b<1>. If the wheel is not correctly placed, the finger g<1> engages a wheel tooth and moves the wheel into a position with a tooth space in register with the locking-pawl. The guide-rod m causes the pawl g<1> to move in a path substantially tangential to the wheel when positioning it, and to move out of engagement with the wheel when the locking-pawl enters a tooth space.

Abstract: 22,457. Posner, A. Oct. 11. Measuring for. -An appliance for use in measuring the length of ladies' skirts consists of a suitable stool or support 0, two or more interchangeable marking or indicating frames I of different sizes, corresponding, say, to small, medium, and out sizes of figure, and a set of graduated bars D, which support the particular frame to be used in adjusted position on the stool, as shown. The bars are removably connected to the frame I, by wing-nuts R, so that one set serves for all the frames, and are each formed with a vertical series of holes F to receive the pins E, which support the bars and frame at the desired height above the stool. This arrangement enables the frame to be adjusted at an inclination to the horizontal, so that the back of the skirt can be cut longer or shorter, as desired. According to the particular size of frame used, each bar D is passed through one or other of a series of slots in plates H fixed to the stool and through corresponding slots in the stool itself. In use, the person or dummy wearing the skirt stands or is placed on the stool, with the skirt hanging outside the frame I, and the desired length is marked by a chalk line against the bevelled edge K of the frame. To facilitate the insertion of a dummy, each frame may be made in two parts hinged together, and secured in the closed position by any suitable fastening G.

Abstract: 26,830. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Nov. 30. Semi-automatic exchange systems.-Relates to a method of indicating to a manual junction operator a disengaged junction line leading to an automatic exchange. A signal lamp is provided for each junction line at each operator's position as usual, but instead of arranging that all the lamps of all the disengaged junction lines shall light up, a rotary selective switch W for each group of lines closes the signal circuit of only one disengaged line at a time. The switch W is rotated by a magnet D controlled by a relay p connected to the wiper sp which moves over contacts connected to the test leads of the junction lines L<1> ... L<x>. When the wiper sp engages an idle junction line L<x>, the relay p is energized, cutting off the magnet D and closing a circuit over the wiper sl for the corresponding signal lamps l<x>. If the selector GW is moved from its zero position, thereby opening the contact k, or if the line is defective or the fuse Si broken, or if the line has been engaged from the outgoing end, thereby energizing a relay C, the relay p is deenergized, and the magnet D rotates the switch W until an idle line is found. Keys T', T<2> may be provided at each operator's position, so that the signal lamps light up only when these keys are depressed.
