Abstract: 136. Soblik, M. Jan. 8, 1912, [Convention date]. Pneumatic type-wheel actions. -The type-wheel b is journaled in a slide b<1> which is reciprocated for impression by an eccentric g operated by a pneumatic motor d, the slide being coupled to the motor through a pneumatic arrangement which permits the stroke of the type-wheel to be increased for the purpose described below. The shaft e of the motor is provided with an arm f engaging a stop i controlled by a diaphragm j. When the selected type is opposite the printing point, the diaphragm automatically depresses the stop. the motor rotating once and being then again arrested by the stop. The stop consists of a pivoted arm formed at the ends with fingers arranged in different planes, the upper finger being resilient. For ordinary writing, the platen a is preferably provided with the usual soft pad x, the stroke of the motor being such that the typewheel just touches the paper. When manifolding, it is necessary to remove the pad, and to compensate for this a pneumatic arrangement of the following character is provided. The slide b<1> is coupled to a piston m mounted in a cylinder h secured to the eccentric, the cylinder being connected through a flexible pipe y to a valve l controlled by a wiper k on the shaft e, a cock p being provided for preventing communication between the cylinder and the valve in ordinary writing. When manifolding, the cock p is left open, so that when the type-wheel has been moved by the eccentric to the ordinary impression position, the wiper k opens the valve l and thereby causes the cylinder m to move forward for impression.

Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 8570. Fisher, H. April 11. Life - boats. - In life - boats comprising a passenger car freely mounted in an enclosing buoyant shell having compartments at each end and provided with a series of valves for ventilating purposes in the outer shell, the opening of which is effected by means carried on the passenger car, means are provided for forcing air through the boat and for closing the valves as required. The outer hull 1 is fitted with a valve 9 actuated by a cam-bar 14 attached to the passenger car 6. The valves 9 are situated at the end of the car opposite to that of the pump 18 by which the air is forced through the boat through the pipes 24, the pump 18 being driven by a handle on the spindle x. The disposition of the cam-bar 14 ensures that only the valves that are uppermost will be open. These may be closed by releasing the spring- loaded bar 15 by the lever 16, so that the cambar 14 is drawn away from contact with the ends of the valve spindles. The car is suspended from tracks of H-iron 25 on rollers 27 attached to bands 26 encircling the car. Ballasting is effected by the provision of a false keel 31 having apertures 33 open to the sea. Fresh-water tanks 34 are fitted as shown. Access to the interior of the boat is obtained by means of sliding doors 35 normally kept open against the action of a spring 35<a> by a lever catch 44. To close the door, the handle of the catch 44 is turned to release the door, which is closed by the spring 35<a>. Excessive rolling causes the car 6 to strike the handle 44 and close the door. The door 35 consists of a plate having lugs adapted to slide in guides 38 provided with slots into which the lugs may drop to effect a water-tight closure.

Abstract: 11,340. Roland, J. Sept. 2, 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 27,719/12.] Race games, mechanical.-In a race game, wherein miniature horses run down an inclined track as described in the parent Specification, the order of arrival at the finishing point is indicated automatically by means of the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Each horse on arrival strikes a lever and thereby releases a corresponding number-plate 111, which is then drawn up a guide a by means of a string 118 attached to a spring-containing pulley 117. The first numberplate strikes a shutter b, and is thereby retained, the shock causing the displacement of a finger b<1> and the release of a second shutter c. The second shutter swings into an horizontal position under the action of a spring f and obstructs the passage of the second number-plate, the impact of which causes a finger c<2> to engage a spring catch d' and release a third shutter d. In a similar manner, a fourth shutter e is released so as to obstruct the rise of all the number-plates following the first three. The shutters are returned to their original positions by means of a spring- pressed lever i connected to a rod h, which carries fingers h<1> adapted to engage arms c<4>, d<6>, e<5> on the axes of the shutters. The numberplates are returned by hand.

As shown in Fig. 4, the base 13 forms the expansion element of a thermostat, the other element consisting of a rod 15 of porcelain adjustably mounted in a cavity in the base. One end of the rod 15 is connected by an adjustable screw 34 with one arm 33 of a lever, the other arm 30 of which has a forked end 35 engaging with a lever 26 mounted in a bearing 25. A tongue 27 on the lever engages with a valve 21, the valve seat being formed on a fitting 18 screwing into a tube connected with the burner 9. Expansion of the base causes the valve to be moved towards its seat by a spring 22. A screw 36 is adjusted to prevent complete closure of the valve. The valve and levers are enclosed in a shield 37. The adjusting- screw 34 has a pointer moving between stops 40. In a modification, shown in Fig. 9, a rod 43 of copper forms the expansion element, and operates the valve through a lever 44 with hook-like bearings 46, the lever having a screw 45 engaging with the lever 42. A spring 41 opens the valve.
