Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Switches.
Inventor: TUCKER JOHN HENRY
IPC: H01H23/16
Filed: 1913-10-16
Granted: 1914-11-16
Abstract: 23,444. Tucker, J. H., and Crabtree, J. A. Oct. 16. Switches, quick-action.-A snap-action switch of the tumbler type comprises a contact-member a pivoted at a', an operating-member e pivoted at e<4> on an axis parallel with the axis a' and parallel with the switch base but further removed from the base than the axis a<1>, and a dolly g. The contact-member is provided with an extension c, which may be integral with the rivet c<1> employed for securing the contacts to the contact-member a, and engages a quick make-and-break spring-member. The latter consists of a pin d pressed against the extension by a coiled spring which bears at its lower end against a slotted rotatable abutment f mounted in the member e, the lower end of the pin d having a sliding movement in the stot. In action, the dolly, by engaging the forked ends, or by engaging one or other of the cut-away ends of the channel-shaped member c, moves the lower end of the spring pin across the dead-centre and a quick action results. The initial movement is assisted, if necessary, by the engagement of the upper or lower parts of the member e, or by the engagement of the dolly with the contact-member. The contactmember a, which is shown as a two - way member, may have one limb only, the righthand contact being dispensed with. In this case, when the switch is mounted on a wall so that the dolly is directed downwards when the switch is closed, the contact-member is directed upwards. Specification 18,471/09 is referred to. Contacts.-The fixed clip contacts, Figs. 2 and 3, are formed from sheet metal and have their limbs b bent up through 360 degrees, as shown in Fig. 2, and the ends brought together and secured. To increase their elasticity, each of the limbs is slotted as shown at b<1>, Fig. 3.

Title: Improvements in Motor Controlled Delivery Apparatus.
Inventor: LAGAY JEAN
IPC: G07F11/16
Filed: 1913-10-28
Granted: 1914-08-27
Abstract: 24,484. Lagay, J., and Curt, J. Oct. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Sale apparatus.-An article is delivered alternately from two adjacent magazines, each of which is provided with a motor-driven delivery mechanism, a deflector being pivoted in the coin shoot to direct the coins alternately to the two delivery mechanisms. Delivery mechanism.-The lowest article is pushed out from a magazine 20 by a hinged flap 23 mounted on a carriage 24 guided by rails 25. The carriage is reciprocated by a crank 28 driven from a spring barrel 29. Coin action, weight and multiple-coin.-The inserted coin passes from a coin tester into a shoot 14, from which it is guided' by the pivoted deflector 18 into one of the branch shoots 15, 15<1>, where it frees the corresponding spring motor by depressing a lever 21. This lever is connected to a detent 34 which normally locks a cam 33 connected to the crank 28. Coin-slit closing devices.-When the supply of articles is exhausted, a following weight 16 draws taut a cord 38, thereby withdrawing a lever 37 from a spring-controlled stop 39, which thereupon blocks the insertion slot. Diverting improper coins.-A magnet 4 mounted at one side of the coin shoot 1 attracts and retains iron disks, which are moved down the shoot by succeeding coins and ultimately fall through an aperture in the base. A pivoted counterweighted lever 6 forming part of the base of the shoot rejects coins that are too heavy, while a second counterweighted lever 7 tilts to allow coins of sufficient weight to pass into the shoot 14. All rejected coins fall on to a slope 12 which directs them to the external tray 13.

Granted: 1914-10-29
Abstract: 9007. Gaisman, H. J. May 15,1913, [Convention date]. Identification marks and the like, producing on negatives by exposure.- Designation marks are formed on the film or other sensitized element by marking the designation with a stylus &c. on a permanently opaque protector over the film &c., transferring the marks to the film &c. or to a translucid strip covering it, and then exposing the marked portion to light through an opening in the back of the camera. The marking on the opaque protector 16 is performed through an opening 10<a> normally closed by a cover 12 hinged at 13, and is transferred to the film 7 or a translucid covering thereon by transferable opaque material, such as a carbon coating 16<a> on the protector 16, the film bearing against a support 9 during the marking. A door 10, in which the opening 10<a> is formed, is then turned down about its hinge 11, carrying the upper part of the protector 16 with it, and thus exposing the marked part of the film and causing the designation to be formed by light action on the sensitized layer. The protector 16 and transferable material may be drawn off a roll, to bring a fresh portion into the operative position, by rotating a pair of rollers 21 in a housing 20, secured to the door 10 and provided with a sliding closure 23.

Granted: 1915-10-21
Abstract: 5716. Colson, S. F. April 16. Braces and straps and bands. - A pulley fitting for braces or suspenders is provided with a pivoted closing - flap j, Fig. 3, having a projection i by which the flap can be raised on pressure from the thumb. The pivot holes in the side lugs k of the flap are larger than the pin m; so that upon depression of the projection i against the force of the spring coiled round the pin, the ends of the lugs alone take up the pressure by contacting with the base-plate a of the fitting. This relieves the pivot holes from wear. The turned-up part t forming a housing for the pulley may be supported by a projection s, Fig. 5, on the flap, which. enters a hole in the part t. In this case, the lower part of the flap may be dispensed with. Instead of being riveted, one or both ends of the pivot pin may be bent and engaged with the base-plate to prevent rotation.
