Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 12,311. Manwell, T. May 22. Phosphoretted-hydrogen signals. - In a selfigniting marine light, a calcium phosphide container c, of inverted-bell type, is mounted concentrically within a casing a, leaving an annular space b to which the water has free access, and through which the generated gas escapes to the burner d. The water enters through a normally-sealed opening k and a perforated or gauze cone l. The chambers a, b communicate by a slot f guarded by a perforated shield g, which prevents the passage from becoming blocked to the incoming water or escaping gas. A float-chamber is provided at h. In another form, the chamber h and the opening k and cone l are dispensed with, the water entering through the burner hole d. Specification 20,732/06 is referred to. The Provisional Specification also describes a third form, comprising an upper air chamber, a lower carbide chamber, and a central gas chamber extending between a water inlet at the bottom and the burner hole at the top.

Abstract: 15,034. Lake, H. W., [Lorenz Akt.-Ges., C.]. June 27. Projectile fuses.-Relates to clock-work time fuses, and consists mainly in arranging that the rotary setting-head 2 can be rotated several times against the same scale 3 to obtain accurate setting and action by increasing the distance between each graduation. The head 2 is coupled to a disk 6, and for each revolution of these a maltese cross 8 is turned one step. A notch is formed in the cross 8, and another in the disk 6. and the trigger 14 of the cocked spring firing-hammer 11 can be pulled aside by its spring 13 only when released by both notches, that is, only the disk 6 has completed the fraction of revolution as well as the number of complete revolutions, if any, to which it has been set by the head 2. The clockwork is released at the moment the projectile is discharged by the back swing of the weighted half 21 of a lever pivoted at 19; the return of the lever being prevented by a spring catch 20. All the parts are disposed as nearly as possible co-axial with the projectile, to avoid the disturbing effects of centrifugal force.

Title: Improvements in Controlling Apparatus for Telephone Systems using Automatic Selector Switches.
Inventor: MOLINA EDWARD CHARLES
Filed: 1912-09-14
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 21,008. Molina, E. C. Sept. 14, 1911, [Convention date]. Semi - automatic exchange systems.-In an operator's impulsecounting relay - set for controlling the operation of a selector of the reverting - impulse - control type, the pair of relays corresponding to the depressed key is first energized, a n d s u ccessive impulses energize the preceding pairs of relays in order until the first pair is reached. when the selector - controlling circuit is opened. In the system shown, the motor magnet M of the selector S is controlled by a relay R in the main selecting-circuit L, which includes a stepping-relay R<1> and contacts of the relays R<2>, r<10>. At each movement of the selector, the relay R<1> is short-circuited at a contact 10<a>, and repeats these impulses over the depressed key, k<3> say, to the wire 11. The first impulse passes to the corresponding relay r<3>, which closes a locking-circuit for itself over the relay r<13>, the latter being energized as soon as the relay R<1> relapses. The second impulse passes over the key k<3> and contact 15 to the relay r<2>, which locks up as before over the relay r<12>. The pairs of relays thus lock up in succession in synchronism with the movement of the selector, until the relay r<10> is reached, which opens the circuits of the controlling-relay R and the starting-relay R<2>. On the release of the starting-key K<2>, the circuit of the locked relays is broken.

Inventor: WHITE CHARLES MELBOURNE
IPC: B31C1/00
Filed: 1912-12-18
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 29,179. White, C. M., [Jackson, P. T.]. Dec. 18. Paper pipes and tubes. - In a machine for winding paper to form tubes, the mandrel has a core 36, Fig. 3, with a head 37 at one end free to rotate in a mandrel carrier 35, which is pivoted to brackets 32, 33 by pins 34, the head 37 being connected to a shaft 5 by an universal joint. The other end of the mandrel is supported in a cap 58, Fig. 2, carried by a longitudinally - adjustable block 55. When the mandrel is in position, the cap moves a slide 46, Fig. 7, against the action of a spring, so that an expander 49 is moved to expand the mandrel. In order to remove the formed paper tube 71, the cap 58 is moved out of engagement with the mandrel, the mandrel is swung on the pivots 34, and a ring 69 is operated by a handle 68 to force the tube off the mandrel, which has been collapsed by the spring which acts on the slide 46. The loose driving- pulley 8 is clamped to the shaft 5 when a double cone 9 is moved to the right against the action of a spring 15, thus actuating a pivoted arm 24 carried by a collar 20, fast on the shaft, to clamp a spring strip 25 on the pulley hub 22. When the cone is moved to the left, the pulley is released and an arm 28 pivoted to a collar 26, fast on the shaft, clamps a spring strip 30 on to the outside of the bearing 7, thus braking the shaft.

Abstract: 9769. Langer, M. April 25. Make-and-break switches; clock-work actuation.-In switch apparatus for illuminated advertisements, a supply circuit is opened and closed by means of a spring-controlled switching lever d adapted to rest alternately upon the edges of two disks f, l relatively adjustable upon and rotating with the hour arbor i of a clock-work. The lever is pivoted with a double joint, the disk l is formed with deflecting surfaces n, o, and the disk f with a notch k, which at predetermined times shift the switching- member from one disk to the other, the circuit being kept closed while the switch is resting on one disk and open while resting on the other. The disks f, l are set into the required positions by means of pointers p, q which indicate the times of opening and closing on a graduated disk r fixed on the hour arbor. The distribution circuits containing illuminated advertisements or the like are opened and closed individually by means of cam-disks v on the seconds arbor u, the cams acting on spring- mounted contacts z. The clock-work mechanism is insulated from the current-carrying parts.

Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 11,126. Hamoir, O. May 10. Turning-gear.-A spring 6 is used to turn the engine shaft 1 through the drum 11, chain 9, and one-way clutch 10. On a polygonal extension of the drum is carried a sleeve 12 in one with a spurwheel 13, which moves over a screw-thread 15 on a fixed shaft 2. When the spring drives, the wheel 13 moves axially and gears with a wheel 17 carried on a screw-thread on the engine shaft 1. The second wheel then moves axially until it comes against an abutment 19, whereupon the second wheel drives the first to wind up the spring 6. When the wind is completed, the two wheels have again separated, and a spring 18 draws the wheel- 17 to its normal position. A spring-pressed pawl 20 holds the spring 6 in its wound condition. To enable the drum 11 when driving to make more than one turn, a rod 22 normally bearing on the side of the pawl is pushed by a spring behind the pawl when the pawl is pulled by a cable; a sleeve 25 on the rod retracts it as the spring unwinds, the sleeve 25 being carried by the sleeve 12. In a modification, the wheel 13 gears with teeth on the drum, which is mounted through a one-way clutch on the shaft 1.

Abstract: 24,333. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Jan. 4, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Automatic exchange party-line systems.-The connectors are equipped with the usual ringing-arrangements for ringing up the wanted subscriber until he replies, but in the case of reverting calls a device is automatically brought into action which sends only a fixed number of rings. In the fourth portion of the connector sideswitch, a relay F is connected to the b-side of the selected line, and if there is current flowing in this line, as there would be in the case of a reverting call, the relay F becomes energized and moves the side-switch into its fifth or speaking position regardless of the busy condition of the line. The ringing-relay L is now intermittently energized over the contact f<4> by the interrupter RU, and at each ring a magnet D is energized to advance a switch HS. After a certain number of steps, representing a corresponding number of rings, the switch HS energizes a relay UR, which cuts the ringing-relay out of circuit. The ringing-generator RS may be connected as shown in dotted lines so as to supply ringing-current over both sides of the line in parallel.
