Patent GB-191128749-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Safety Lamps suitable for use in Mines.
Inventor: LOWE WILLIAM HERBERT
IPC: F21V25/02
Filed: 1911-12-20
Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 28,749. Lowe, W. H. Dcc. 20. Battery lamps; cut-out arrangements.-A safety lamp is constructed so that breakage of an enclosing glass causes an insulating piece to move to prevent contact at two places in one of the lamp connections. An accumulator (not shown) is pressed up by a spring at the bottom of the casing, so that its projecting terminals bear against contact plates attached to a loose insulating disk D, which is held down by a cylindrical glass, retained by a top plate connected by rods to a metal ring E. One of the contact plates C<1> on the disk D then bears on a metal rod R fixed diametrically in the metal ring E, so that current can pass through the rod to a central contact spring Q carried by the disk D. If the glass is broken, the spring forces up the accumulator and the disk D, breaking contact between the parts C', Q and the rod R. A slotted insulating sleeve F is then pushed along the rod R by a spring N, and stops under the contacts C<1>, Q, so that connexion cannot be made again by pressing down the disk D. The battery casing is preferably an aluminium casting. The metal ring E is hinged to it, and normally held down by a catch and lead seal. A screw J, passing through a casting H, which carries two lamps, can be screwed down upon the central contact Q, so as to act as a hand switch.

Abstract: 11,413. Buckton & Co., J., and James, C. W. May 14. Planing.-A planing- machine drive consists of gearing by which the lay shaft of a changespeed box is used to give different cutting speeds while the main shaft gives a direct constant return speed drive, or to give different cutting speeds on both forward and return strokes when d o u b l ecutting. The main shaft A driven by a pulley J passes through the change-speed box E and carries a pinion A<1> on its end in gear with a pinion A<2> loosely mounted on an independent shaft C which also carries a double clutch portion D fixed to it and another loose pinion B<2> on its other end. The lay shaft B is adapted to be driven at different speeds and carries at its forward end a pinion B<1> in gear with the loose pinion B<2>. The pinions A', A<2> are proportioned to give a quick return drive to the shaft C which, through worm gearing G, G', drives the main spindle G<2>, In a modification, Fig. 4, in which the reversal can be effected at different speeds for cutting in both directions, the lay shaft has a further pinion B<1Î> adapted to drive at different speeds a pinion A<2Î> on the independent shaft C through an idle pulley which is mounted at one end of a lever K, while the main shaft pinion A<1> is mounted at the other, so that both pinions cannot be in mesh at the same time.

Patent GB-191226386-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Cash Registers or similar Accounting Machines and more particularly to the Recording Mechanism thereof.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
Filed: 1912-11-16
Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 26,386. Haddan, R., [National Cash Register Co.]. Nov. 16. Type-wheel machines; hammer - impression arrangements; line-spacing mechanism. - Relates to the provision of means in cash registers for accumulating totals upon total type - carriers and for printing the total, together with constant matter, by means of an independent impressionhandle, upon two tutal strips, one strip being retained in the machine and the other being fed out of the machine to provide a detachable slip. The invention is shown as applied to a key set and operated machine of the coupler type. Upon manual operation of the total-printing handle 82, Fig. 2, a spring tappet 84 co-operates with an arm 74 to rock a platen frame 63, Fig. 1, about its pivot 64 and thereby depress a platen 65 upon the two total record-strips coming from supply rolls 42, 43 and so force them against total type-wheels 7, ink-ribbons 55 being iuterposed. Upon the return or downward movement of the handle, no movement of the platen-operating parts occur, but a ratchet movement derived from the toothed segment 96 is effective to rotate a take-up roll 54 for the retained strip and a feedroll 51 whereby both strips are fed, the strip for detachment passing out against a serrated plate 54<a>. The feeding movement is made in two steps, and between them the operator depresses a knob 121 upon a spring-mounted electrotype plate 116, thereby imprinting, with the aid of an endless ink-ribbon, spacing-lines and constant letterpress upon the record strips. When the feeding movement is completed, the strips, bearing imprints of the total and of the constant matter, pass over a table 53 in order that an official may write his signature &c. upon them. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-The endless ink-ribbon for the electrotype plate passes around rods at either side, one rod having a ratchet-wheel engaging a spring-controlled pawl pivoted to the totalprinting platen frame whereby the ribbon is fed as the frame is moved downwards. In the case of the total type-wheels, the endless ink-ribbon 55, Fig. 6, passes around a feed-wheel 56, having pins 90 for engagement with a spring pawl 88 upon an arm attached to the impression-handle spindle, both the feed-wheel and the guide-bars around which the ribbon passes having adjustable means. Counting-apparatus.-The number of operations of the total impression-handle is registered by means of an ordinary counter 125, the reading of which is written upon the strips by the official.

Title: Improvements in Beam Warping Machines.
Inventor: BRANDWOOD JOHN
IPC: D02H3/00
Filed: 1912-12-27
Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 29,787. Brandwood, J., Brandwood, T., and Brandwood, E. Dec. 27. Yarns, warping and beaming. - In beam warping-machines, the warp D passes over a controlling-roller E direct to the beam, the roller E being positively driven so that its surface speed is either slightly less or slightly greater than the surface speed of the beam, the warp being thus wound tight or slack, as required, for treatment with dyes or other liquids, for example. The different surface speeds of the controlling-roller are obtained by coating its surface with leather, paper, cloth, or paint; or a roller of one diameter may replace a roller of another diameter; or the roller may be driven through a variable-speed gear. The roller E may be driven through a clutch J, J<1> and chain gearing H. F, H<1> from the friction driving-drum B of the beam A. The movable member J<1> of the clutch is operated by a lever N and slotted rod M engaged by an extension K of the treadle K<1>, so that, when the treadle is depressed to start the machine, the machine is started a short time before the extension K reaches the bottom of the slot in the rod M. Similarly, when stopping the machine, the clutch J, J<1> is first disengaged and the driving of the roller E is stopped some time before the beam is stopped, overrunning and snarling of the yarn being thus prevented.

Abstract: 22,730. Grant, G. A. Oct. 8. Covers for exposed seats.-In a seat of the kind in which a spring-pressed cover, which may be the seat-back, automatically folds down over the seat bottom when the chair is vacated, means are provided for retaining the cover in the vertical position when it is not desired to protect the seat, as, for instance, during fine weather. The seatback or cover a is provided with a flange a', which compresses a leaf spring c when the back is raised and tends to return the back to the lowered position. The back can be locked in the vertical position by a curved rod d, which is journaled in the seat frame at x and can be raised to abut against the flange a' by links f, g. The link g forms a catch with a member h for keeping the rod d in the raised position. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement whereby the backs of a number of seats on a vehicle can be locked simultaneously. A rod f<1> is fixed rigidly to the hinge of each seatcover a, and passes through a slot in a bar g<1>, which can be moved longitudinally by a rack and pinion l, k. The covers of the seats on both sides of the vehicle can be connected for simultaneous operation by links i and a rod j. Fig. 6 shows in plan a dual seat in which two covers can be raised and locked simultaneously or separately. Each cover a is fixed to a tube m loosely and slidably mounted on a shaft which can be rotated by the arm f<1>. Keyed to the shaft is a collar o having shoulders n, with which corresponding shoulders on the tubes m can be made to engage.
