Controllers, actuating mechanism for.-The arm a of a regulating-switch for motors operating lifts &c. is secured to racks a<2>, which are given one direction of motion from the movement of the car by means of a pinion c', which is caused to engage either of the racks a<2> according to the direction of motion of the car. The pinion c<4> is mounted on one arm of a fourarmed lever c, the horizontal arms of which are connected to magnet plungers b through links b<1> and buffer springs b<3>. The lever e is held in its central position by means of an upper vertical arm and a scissors device c<2>. The pinion c<4> is keyed to a sprocket wheel e<2> driven from a sprocket wheel e<1> by a chain. The wheel e' is driven by the movement of the car or from the shaft of the winding-gear. When the main circuit is closed, one of the reversing-magnets causes its plunger b to tilt the lever c, thereby bringing the pinion c<4> into engagement with one of the racks a<2>. The movement of the car or shaft of the winding-gear causes the racks a<2> to ascend, thereby cutting out the resistance in the armature circuit. When the arm a reaches its " full on " " position, a magnet d is energized and attracts its armature d', thereby withdrawing the pinion c<4> from the rack a<2> and holding the arm in position during the running of the motor. The operations of a friction clutch e and a reversing switch f are described in Specification 20,118/10.

Patent GB-191217774-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Engine and like Starters.
Inventor: GEORGE SOUTHWICK THOMPSON
Filed: 1912-07-31
Abstract: 17,774. Thompson, G. S., and Raber, T. F. March 11, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Turning - gear. - In gear in which a spring drives the engine shaft through chain gearing and is re-set at a lower speed-ratio than that at which it drives, the spring-driven sprocket-wheel 19 drives the engine shaft 15 through a ratchet device, the pawls 18 of which are moved out of action by centrifugal force when the engine shaft overruns the wheel 19. The wheel 19 is bolted to a flanged disk 22, 24 having internal teeth in gear with toothed wheels 25, which also mesh with teeth 29 on the shaft 15. The wheels 25 are' carried on a flanged plate 27 having a brake-band 37, one end of which is anchored by a spring 35 to the plate, while the other carries a stop 32. When the spring is unwound, an arm 63 engages the stop 32, and the plate 27 is held while the engine winds the spring through toothed gearing 29, 25, 24 and chain gearing 19, 48, 46. The spring is held when wound by a ratchet-wheel 47 and pawl 50. At starting, the pawl 50 is released by hand and is held out of action by a spring 52 until a projection 60 on the chain 48 strikes a pivoted piece 58, thereby putting into action both the arm 63 and the nawl 50 by means of a telescoping rod 61, 61<a>. When the spring is wound, the projection 50 raises the arm 63 without releasing the pawl 50. The engine may, if required, be started by hand.
Patent GB-191221807-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Affixing Stamps to Envelopes, or for similar purposes.
Inventor: FANCHER CHARLES JAMES
IPC: H01C10/12
Filed: 1912-09-25
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 21,807. Fancher, C. J. Sept. 25. [Addition to 20,881/11.] Stamp-applying.-Relates to the machine described in the parent Specification for separating stamps &c. from the strip and affixing them, and consists of special means for severing the stamps and for preventing the withdrawal of the strip by means other than the feeding-device, and in the special construction of the oscillating feeding-jaws that seize the end stamp of the strip and draw it forwards. When the jaws 18, 21, Fig. 5, have drawn the end stamp forward over the moistening-wick 28, the first line of perforations in the strip are seized by teeth 33, 34, Figs. 1, 4, and 5, on jaws 30, 31 carried by arms 35, 39 pivoted at 9, 40, springs tending to close the jaws. The teeth 33 extend in an arc of a circle across the jaw 30, and the teeth 34 are situated only at the middle of the jaw 31 and engage between the teeth 33, thus ensuring the entrance of the teeth into the perforations and facilitating the severance of the end stamp by the pull of the feeding-jaws 18, 21. The jaw 30 is normally held in the raised position by the feeding-jaw 21, and a rib 37 on the jaw 30 prevents the end stamp from being gripped between the jaws 21, 30 as they rise together. While a stamp is being severed, the jaw 30 is locked by a finger 38 depending from the operating- plunger 22. To prevent particles of foreign matter that may get between the feeding-jaws from impairing their grip on the stamp strip, the jaw 18, Fig. 9, comprises a resilient metal plate riveted at 60 to a bar 57 and slotted to form a series of fingers 59 adapted to yield individually. These are bent upwards at 61 to co-act with the bevelled edge 58 of the upper jaw. If an attempt is made to withdraw the strip by pulling its free end, teeth 45 on a jaw 32 carried by a spring-pressed arm 47 pivoted at 9 mutilates it. When the plunger 22 is depressed, its guide-roller 25 rocks an arm 53 pivoted at 52 and connected by a socket 49 to an arm 48, and rocks this to raise the teeth 45 from the stamp strip while it is being pulled forward by the feeding-jaws. When it is desired to insert a new stamp strip between the hanger 1 and the trough 2, the pawl 6 that prevents retrograde movement of the strip is raised manually by a lifter 11, and this bears on the tail 50 of the arm 47 to raise the teeth 45 from the guideway.

Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 24,804. Berndt, R. Oct. 29. Drawers and drawer fittings.-A drawer 7 is surrounded by a slidable casing 2 which must be moved into a certain definite position before the drawer 7 can be withdrawn. The rear wall 8 of the drawer is provided with a projection 9 which normally engages with a projection 10 on the shell 1 of the drawer. To pull out the drawer, the casing 2 is tilted, thereby tilting the drawer and disengaging the projections 9, 10. The casing 2 is formed with a lug 6 which prevents the casing from being tilted until it has been pulled out to bring the lug 6 beneath a recess 11 formed in the sbell 1. A spring 12 automatically ejects the drawer when released. The front of the drawer is fitted with a hinged member 15, which is normally retained against the front of the drawer by a spring 16 but which is moved forward into a vertical position by a projection 17 on the casing 2 when this is pulled out. The member 15 then wedges itself against the bottom of the casing 2 and acts as a stop to limit the movement of the casing ; it also conceals the drawer 7. The projection 17 moves in a groove in the bottom of the drawer 7. In a modification, a slide is placed between the top of the casing 2 and the shell 1. The slide has an opening normally out of register with the projection 6 and opening 11. To enable the casing 2 and the drawer to be tilted, the slide must first be moved to bring its opening under the recess 11. The casing 2 can then be pulled out and tilted as before. In another modification, two projections 6, one on each side of the slidable casing, and two slides, are used. A spring may be employed for preventing the projections 9, 10 from becoming disengaged if the drawer is turned upside down. Fig. 10 shows a bolt 37 for locking the casing 2 to the shell 1. The casing and shell are formed with slots 33, 35, the bolt being raised into the slot 35 to allow the casing to be opened.
