Title: Improvements in Calculating Machines.
Inventor: MEILICKE CARL ARNO
Filed: 1908-07-30
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 16,212. Meilicke, C. A. July 30. Calculating - apparatus. - An interest - calculating machine comprises a drum bearing a chart on which the interest on various amounts at various rates is tabulated, at intervals of a day up to one year, the drum being operable by a milled head 11 through gearing 15, 16, 20, 21. Two date wheels 24, 36 abut upon the drum, and are normally driven by it owing to the engagement of springs 33, 38 with teeth 30, 31 on the drum, but may be stopped by finger-pressure on the flanges 24, 36, when the springs click over the teeth on the drum. Openings 26, Fig. 1, are provided in the top plate 6 to allow of the application of the finger. A check-spring 32 is also fitted to steady the drum in any position. In calculating the interest due at a certain future date, the wheel 24 is held and the drum turned until a blank row on the drum-chart, Fig. 4, comes opposite the present date, for example, January 3rd. The drum and wheel are then turned together until the date of maturity appears in the slit 47 in the cover, when the drum indicates the period in days, and, above the amount at the appropriate rate, as shown on the scale 45, the interest due. A yearly interest table 44 is shown above the slit. A reversely-graduated date wheel 36 is used in calculating interest on bills.

Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 15,601. Foye, C. D. July 6, 1908, [Convention date]. L o o s e - nailing.- Fastener - inserting machines, which have a tack-holder movable between tack-receiving and tack - driving positions, are provided with means to actuate the tack-driver so as to prevent the escape of the tack from the holder during the tack-delivering movement of the latter. The invention is described as applied to a pulling- over machine constructed according to Specification 7005/00, in which the tack-driver 50 is actuated relatively to a tack-holder 6 by means of a cam 10. The cam operates through a lever 56 in a frame 55, pivoted at 20, to raise the driver against the action of a spring-pressed arm 52, which drives the tacks. The cam-surface 70 of the cam 10 is modified, as at 72, so that the driver is allowed to move downwardly to cover the opening in the tack-holder 6 during the tack-delivering movement, as shown in Fig. 7, or to hold the tack between spring- actuated jaws 40, as shown in Fig. 8. The cam surface 70 may be shaped so as to raise the driver again after this movement, to allow a full tack-driving stroke, as indicated in Fig. 8.

Abstract: 2216. Fortescue, C. L. Jan. 28. Magnetos, driving.-In devices for rotating an ignition magneto comprising a driving - pinion loosely mounted on the armature shaft, and connected thereto by a spring, under the action of which the armature is rapidly rotated after being momentarily retarded, the retarding-means are of a resilient mechanical character. The driving-pinion B, Fig. 1, is mounted by means of ball bearings on a boss A<1> on the armature shaft, and is connected to it by a spring C. A stop A<2> on the boss A<1> is arranged to retard the movement of the armature over a portion of each revolution by coming in contact with a stop D supported on a spring D<1>. In a modification, Fig. 3, a pin A<3> on the boss A<1> is connected by a rod G to a spring H, mounted on a crank member K, pivoted at J. Also connected to the crank K is a member L, sliding in fixed guides M, and having a pin or roller L<1> working in a cam-groove A<4> on the boss A<1>. Rotation of the pin A<3> causes the spring H to bend and retard the boss A' until the pin L<1> comes to a portion of the camgroove A<4> which permits outward motion of the member L, and relaxes the spring H. The moment of inertia of the armature may be artificially increased, and the spring C may have an initial tension, stops E, F, Fig. 1, keeping the pinion and boss in their correct relative positions.

Abstract: 4171. Westinghouse Electric Co. March 3, 1909, [Convention date]. Regulating and control-transmitting apparatus. - In electro-magnetic wheel or track brakes for railway and other vehicles, of the type provided with electro - magnets having series windings supplied with current from the driving-motors acting as generators and shunt windings supplied from the trolly wire or other separate source of constant voltage, the series winding is employed for ordinary service applications of the brakes, being supplemented, if desired, by the action of the shunt winding to which current is supplied through a resistance, while for emergency applications, the shunt winding only is employed, the resistance in circuit therewith being short-circuited so that complete saturation of the brake magnet is effected. Thus, if the wheels of a car skid, for instance, when descending a gradient, so that the car motors cannot supply any braking-current, a second source of current is available for bringing into action the full braking power of the magnet. The Figure shows diagrammatically an arrangement in accordance with the invention. The car motors 6, 7 are connected up in series with the series winding 4 of the brake magnet, and a resistance 5 is interposed between the shunt winding 3 and the trolly 2. For emergency applications, the resistance 5 is shortcircuited by closing an emergency switch 8, which may comprise contacts on the usual brake controller, or may be separate therefrom. Additional emergency switches 9, 10, for use by the conductor and passengers respectively, may be provided.

Surface areas, computing. - In order to measure the area. of irregular pieces of leather, skins, &c., a hand measuring - wheel A with a serrated edge is employed. The wheel has a graduated circumference which may be read against a pointer D<1>, and it is provided with a handle J. Rotating with the wheel is a screwed spindle B, adapted to register complete rotations by means of a slider engaging with the thread and reading upon the scale E, the slider being disengageable for the purpose of setting the parts to zero. At some distance below the handle a cross-bar G is arranged, whereby, with the work on a horizontal surface, the reading point D<1> remains at the top. The area is obtained by measuring the sum of the lengths of the intercepts upon a number of parallel equidistant lines made by the area in question; the work is either spread upon a suitably ruled table, or a ruled celluloid sheet I is placed thereover. In order to adapt the instrument for different systems of measures, different graduations may be employed, or sets of lines having a different common distance.
