Patent GB-190705354-A (GB)
Title: Improved Method of Producing Electrical Oscillations.
Inventor: EISENSTEIN SIMON
Filed: 1907-03-05
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 5354. Eisenstein, S. March 5. Telegraphs.-In a method of producing electric oscillations in which an alternating current is used, the discharge tension of the condensers is smaller than the charging tension, so that during each half period of the alternating current, a number of discharges occur. The intervals of time between successive discharges diminish as the charging tension rises, as shown at t', t<2>, t<3>, Fig. 1, and the number of discharges during a half-period increases with the diminution of the discharge tension. If the discharge tension is such that the time intervals between successive discharges during the first part of the current period are approximately Equal to the time required for damping out an oscillation, the next discharge is obtained during the damping of the preceding oscillation, and in phase with the latter. In this way, overlapping of successive oscillations takes place, thus producing short trains of undamped oscillations. In Fig. 2, successive discharges occur at diminishing intervals, represented by the points 1 ...10. Before the first oscillation dies out, the second oscillation starts and is reinforced by the existing amplitude of the first, and the same effect is produced by succeeding discharges, so that oscillations of the form shown in Fig. 2 are produced, which die out towards the end of the half period of the alternating current. If a polyphase alternating current is used as described in Specification No. 16,435, A.D. 1905, oscillations are produced by each phase of the current thus forming a continuous train of undamped oscillations.

Inventor: NORTH ROBERT BENSON
Filed: 1908-02-05
Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 2591. North, R. B. Feb. 5. Fares, registering &c.-Extra-fare registers for taxameters provided with separate totalizers are controlled by the flag spindle, in order to prevent fraud by the driver, so as to allow of actuation only when the flag is in the 'engaged' position, the movement of the flag into the 'disengaged' position not only releasing the driving and detent pawls but also directly locking the actuating-means from operation. In one form, Fig. 1, a pin o on an arm n fixed on a spindle m in gear with the flag spindle, when in the disengaged' position, forces back the driving - pawl lever a against the end of the actuating - rod h, thereby locking it against operation, and also releases the pawl b from the ratchet-wheel g, the end of the arm n at the same time disengaging the spring retaining-pawl j. The movement of the arm a is limited by stops c, d. In a second form, Fig. 3, the arm n is actuated by a cam 3 on the flag spindle, a pin o pushing back projections 1 on the pawl arm a and retaining-pawl j. The driving-pawl b is fitted with a pin p which drives not only the indicator ratchet-wheel g but also a totalizer-wheel u, mounted loosely on the same spindle and fitted with a detent pawl z. When the pawls b, j are released from the wheel g, this wheel is automatically zeroized by means of a spring coiled around its spindle. Movement of the wheel g beyond a certain range is prevented by the provision of a segment 6.

Conveyers; elevators. - Apparatus for treating dough preparatory to baking comprises conveyers which carry the trays &c. from the moulding apparatus, automatic means for transferring the trays from these conveyers to proving-apparatus to an oven &c. In one form of the invention, conveyers bring the trays 5 from a moulder &c. to a pair of endless chains 9, which travel at right-angles to the conveyers and transfer the trays to pivoted supports 13 on the proving-apparatus. The supports 13 are kept from tilting bv rollers attached to them and travelling in fixed grooves parallel to the proving- chains. When the supports are going round the pulleys 11, the rollers are deflected into eccentric curved guides 19. The proving-chains carry the trays of dough through a trunk 20 attached to the ceiling 1, after which the trays are removed and transferred to an oven &c. by endless chains 23 operating in the same manner as the chains 9. The empty supports 13 then pass below the floor and arrive again at the feeding-chains 9. In another form shown in Fig. 7, the trays 32 are taken from the conveyers by chains 34 moving in a vertical direction, and are lowered to proving-conveyers 35 moving entirely below the floor or in a trunk attached to the ceiling. Similar chains remove the trays from the prover at the delivery side. In this case the trays have rollers 39 at one end running on rails 40 curved towards one set of chains ; at the other end the trays carry slots &c, which are engaged by lugs 41 on the conveyer 33 so that the trays are safely transferred to the lowering-chains 34.
