Title: Improved Means for Indicating Faulty Leads in Telephone Exchanges.
IPC: H04M3/08
Filed: 1909-01-02
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 103. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Jan. 2. Discontinuity tesis; resistances, measuring.-The existence.of a fault in a plug cord lead in a telephone system is indicated acoustically or optically by means brought into action by the normal operation of any one of the exchange switching-arrangements. In the arrangement shown, a circuit containing a head telephone H'and a vibrator S is arranged to be closed at a contact f when a relay R<1> is energized, and to be opened at a contact g by a relay R' having two differentially-acting windings a, d. When the plug St is lifted from its seat and inserted into the jack k, the cord switch ZS and a switch s, controlled by the call relay, are closed, and the connexions are such that, when the speaking- switch Sp is in its left-hand position, the calling and clearing lamps AL, SL are connected in parallel with one another between the middle terminal of two batteries B<1>, B<2> and the middle point of two resistances w<1>, w<2>, which are connected between the outer terminals of the batteries B<1>, B<2>. When the speaking-switch Sp is in its left-hand position, the resistance w<1> is replaced by the winding a of the relay R<2>, which is then energized, opening the contact g and closing a contact b, which energizes the relay R' and caua: s it to close the contact e, f. If the lead between the speaking-switch Sp and the switch s is intact, the winding a receive, current from both batteries B<1>, B' in series, and its effect predominates over that of the winding d and maintains the switch g open. If, however, there be a break in the lead, for example at one of the points x, x<1>, the winding a receives current from the battery B' only, through the lamp SL, and its effect is neutralized by that of the winding d. The switch g is therefore released and closes the circuit of the telephone H, giving an alarm. In a modification, the relay R<1>, the switches e, b, f, and the winding d of the relay R<2> are omitted, and the one-way switch u<1> of the speaking-switch Sp is connected in place of the switch f in the vibrator circuit, which circuit is interrupted by the relay switch g if the connecting- lead c is continuous. In another arrangement, a differentially-wound relay is employed which, when energized, closes a switch in the vibrator circuit. One of the differential windings a is connected as before, and the other winding is connected through the one-way switch u<1> of the speaking-switch Sp between the outer terminals of the batteries B<1>, B'. Normally the magnetic effects of the differential windings neutralize one another and the switch in the vibrator circuit remains open. If, however, the current in the winding a is diminished or increased owing to a break in the lead c or a shortcircuit between this lead and the batteries B<1>, B', the relay is energized and the vibrator circuit closed.

Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Producing Chain-stitch Sewing.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: D05B15/00
Filed: 1909-03-18
Granted: 1910-05-18
Abstract: 9475. Boult, A. J., [Winslow, S. W.]. March 18, 1909. Boot-sole sewing machines,; governing needle thread.-Relates to a method of forming chainstitching in which the stitches are set by pulling upon the work-side arm of the thread-loop held by the needle so as to shorten the preceding loop, and afterwards, in tightening the last loop round the needle while the needle is in the work, pulling upon the shortened stitch by means of the last loop. According to the invention, the thread loop is engaged to shorten the preceding loop by a pair of grippers, and during the operation of the grippers the needle thread is relieved of its usual tension. This method is illustrated in Figs. 13 and 9 as applied to a Goodyear welting-machine where the thread loop is tightened round the needle by a take-up. The grippers 11 of welting-machine are mounted to slide in a guide 21, Fig. 4, and reciprocated longitudinally by a rack-and-pinion gear 23, 24. The pinion is suitably oscillated by a quick-threaded arm-actuated screw 29. The pivoted jaw of the grippers is held normally open by a spring, but during the threadpulling part of its movement a projection 33 on the pivoted jaw engages a stationary camsurface 32, and jaws are closed upon the thread. The shortening of the loops is increased when the toe of a boot is being sewn. During the shortening-operation, the thread-tension is reduced by rotating the tension disks by means of a pawl on a cam lever and by suspending the action of the auxiliary take-up.

Packages of materials; distributing liquid over solid in generators; removing sludge from generators.-Means connected with the watervalve are provided to distribute the water to the textile envelope surrounding the carbide. The means may comprise a plate f, Fig. 1, on to which the water drips and is distributed to the edge of the separate closing-sheet d of calico. The carbide is held in a metal container a lined with calico, linen, &c. b ; the closing-sheet d is of larger diameter, and is secured by an elastic band h. The free edge of the closing- sheet is* turned up round the distributing plate so as to catch the water, and the plate is preferably of larger diameter than the container a, so that excess of water flows outside the latter. In another form the water is fed to a hollow inverted perforated cap l, Fig.2, projecting into contact with the textile closure so as to form a depression in the charge. In this form, the closure is effected by a lid n with a central orifice therein, and to the upper side of lid in addition to the closing-sheet d are provided one or more sheets m of textile material, the sheets being depressed in the centre to form a pocket for the reception of the cap l. The cap is arranged to engage the lower part of the valve-rod e so as to be rotated thereby, or the cap may be stationary and the lower part of the generator adapted to be rotated. A cord or string g is attached to the textile liner to facilitate emptying the spent carbide, or a length of cord may be coiled in the carbide for this purpose. Suitable means may be provided for agitating the charge and separating the lime residue, for example, the charge may rest on a grid or tray of chain-work, &c., and the agitation may be assisted by a pendulum or weight arranged to strike the grid.
